OMG I missed your authentic style Allan, wonderful!!

12 days on SC, did you start writing again?

Thanks for dropping by Mar T. Still not writing, this is an oldie that I never did anything with so decided to give it some exposure.  Thanks for sharing.

Good to hear you again Allan. This one one gently swings. Ta for sharing man.

My Dad was my hero when I was a kid
And I tried to copy everything that he did
But one day I saw him hide his face in his hands
A heart isn't something that a child understands

He said "Son, I'm feeling sad because your Grandpa passed away"
Then something fell out of his eyes I was supposed to learn that day

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Pour out the pain you bottle up so deep inside
To help you pull through when life makes you blue
Sometimes you've got to do what grown-ups aren't supposed to do

It was twenty years later, almost to the day
I'd started a family in much the same way
My uncle came calling in the cruel light of dawn
He said "I'm so sorry, but your father is gone"

Like an earthquake in my soul the words he spoke shook up my world
Then I lost my cool composure when the voice of my little girl said

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Pour out the pain you bottle up so deep inside
You have the key to set your heart free
Would it really make a difference if someone were to see?

When life has been unkind and brings a heartache at my door
I close my eyes and I can still see my Dad's teardrops hit the floor
I see his teardrops hit the floor

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Pour out the pain you bottle up so deep inside
You have the key! Set your heart free!
Would it really make a difference if someone were to see?

My Dad was my hero when I was a kid..

Its OK To Cry

Empress
Give me adventures
Put me to the test

Temptress
I will do my best 
But it won’t be enough  

So play your cards right 
You might be her’s tonight
She’ll set you alight 
If you play your cards right
 
Priestess
Radiant in your red dress 
And all your finery

So play your cards right 
You might be her’s tonight
She’ll set you alight 
If you play your cards right

Empress
Do what you do, you’re the best
Empress
I’ll climb Everest for your love  

Empress 
Untouchable, sweet caress
Please give me your love

So play your cards right 
You might be her’s tonight
She’ll set you alight 
If you play your cards right

Empress
Do what you do, you’re the best
Empress
I’ll climb Everest for your love

Lucy's Blues

Solar Midnight by Shadowfax6

This is an experimental project...a work in progress. I've taken excerpts from Christine Anderson's point of view, about the vaccines and vaccine mandates, at a EU press conference. It was a challenge, on a songwriters forum, to write a song containing something about 22, so I choose this subject. I started it at the beginning of 2022.


2021! Unprecedented! Covid, pandemic, masks, lockdowns,
Fear, vaccines, variants, isolation, division, fear!

Mass hysteria! Collective psychosis!
Wake up! Some day, someway somehow, somewhere 
Someday, I’ll remember. Wakeup!

Obviously support, oppression of the people, claiming shamelessly to do it for the peoples own good. It’s not the goal that renders the system oppressive, it’s always the methods which the goal is pursued.

Good rid-ens 21, as unprecedented as you were 
I’m glad to say goodbye and hope you never, never recur  
Hello 22, I hope you bring on some cheer 
Cause we’re all so depressed, so you’d better be a good year.

Whenever a political elite, pushes an agenda this hard, and resorts to extortion and manipulation to get their way, you can almost always be sure, your benefit is definitely not what they had at heart. Never take anything any  government tell you at face value

Unprecedented times! Mandates, passports, oppression, 
Anxiety, suicides, depression, boosters, vax-ed, unvax-ed,
Conspiracies, fake news, misinformation, separation, isolation,
Fear! 

Mass formation! Mass hypnosis! 
Wake up! Some day, someway somehow, somewhere 
Someday, I’ll remember. Wakeup! 

Compulsory use of the digital green certificate, undermines 
Everything constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental rights. 
Let’s be clear about one thing! No one grants me freedom.
For I am a free person! 

You gotta tell the people the true! (freedom! freedom!)
You gotta tell the people the truth!

:Trucker’s are on the move, fighting for our freedom: 

Unfortunately we’ve had to invoke the emergency act to end this violent protest! We can't have bouncy castles and ot tubs in our streets! I don't care what they believe, this kind of behaviour is not appropriate and they will learn a lesson.
Bank accounts have been frozen, some will go to jail and they will have a criminal record, for protesting!
 
Good rid-ens 21, as unprecedented as you were 
I’m glad to say goodbye and hope you never, never recur  
Hello 22, I hope you bring on some cheer 
Cause we’re all so depressed, so you’d better be a good year.

What the F***! World war 3!

Unprecedented Times

Inspired on the love story of the drummer in my band K!X back then.

Crossed Fingers (Original)

Not a lot would have heard this version of my song Enough as I kinda shelved it. Recorded by an American Company by another artist who I have to say did a Great Job. A song about being in a dying relationship and when you finally get to the point of saying to yourself that "Enough is Enough!"

FANCY

ENOUGH Unreleased USA Version Song/Lyrics R.Hudson

When one comes to a Crossroads in Life. Turn left and Return Home, Carry Straight on with Life's current Path, turn Right to Recovering something you Lost and Know with all your Heart has Gone and Moved On.

Flying Away

3. FLYING AWAY Song by R.Hudson Feat. C.Luffrum

Call out to me
I might not hear
Please persevere
Don't give up on me

I drag my foggy head from my quicksand bed
Weariness seeping through my bones
My reticence mistaken for an olive branch not taken
Your coffee an umbrella in a storm

Call out to me
I might not hear
Please persevere
Don't give up on me

Fear is flowing through me
What ifs become reality
In absence of a pill or a remedy
But I know you can save me
From the demons and the crazy thoughts
That paralyse me so that I can't breathe

Call out to me
I might not hear
Please persevere
Don't give up on me

Don't believe 
When my eyes are tightly squeezed
And I'm curled up into a ball
That I want you to leave
That I don't want to see
That I don't want to be seen at all

Call out to me
I might not hear
Please persevere
Don't give up on me

Call Out To Me

The original version of this song is further down my page and was written 3 or 4 years ago with my awesome friend Marcel. 

On the original track Marcel produced the backing track while I took care of the lyrics and top line melody/vocals.

I have wanted to produce an acoustic version of this song for a while now and finally this is what I have come up with. I recorded a lot of harmonies and extra musicy bits, but in the end I just felt that it sounds best stripped right back as it is. I hope you like it.😊

A big thanks to Marcel, without him this one wouldn’t exist.🎶👊🏻🎶

Kingdom Come (acoustic version)

Jack Frost drops a foot of snow
Grandpa's caught his winter cold
Children screeching at their parents while they're shopping
Soon they will be squawking
To see what's in their stockings

Call me a sentimental fool
Call me a dreamer, if you must
But when it comes to Christmas
I love its guts

It's so damn cold the car won't start
The bank's put a hold on my credit cards
There's not much of anything to like about the season
The pipes are always freezin'
And Grandpa's always sneezin'

Call me a sentimental fool
Call me old-fashioned, out of touch
But when it comes to Christmas
I love its guts

Seems they've got a special day for every season
But those other holidays - I can take 'em or leave 'em
When my friends say they hate Christmas - I don't believe 'em
'Cause when they hear I'm wrappin' gifts they want to see them
..and they want to squeeze them!

Maybe I'm a sentimental fool
Maybe I'm a dreamer - maybe not
When it comes to Christmas
~ I'm very festivious!
When it comes to Christmas
~ and I'm not even very religeeee - ous!
When it comes to Christmas..
I LOVE ITS GUTS!!
