Happiness (for Núria & Mia)

Nannette's Minuet in Cm

Electra's Minuet In Cm

Hey, glad you dropped by. The New Year is upon us. I wish you a happy year ahead. Yet wishes are as fickle as hopes and dreams, which often conjure up nothing more than a brief feel good moment. I hear people nearby celebrating, as if nothing is wrong in their world, while others are fighting for their very lives, at war, or surviving as best they can in extreme and difficult situations. Those disparities has always haunted me… All I need to do is reflect back to see my own trajectory, much like a shooting star burning through the night sky. So what will the new year bring? This will be my 67th new year, so as you might have guessed, I am somewhat jaded when it comes to the anticipation of living in a better world. What I do have is this simple notion that all of us are moving through time together. In a very real sense, we are time travelers. And yet as time leaps forward, say in a hundred years from now, nearly everyone alive in this moment will have ended their journey, save for a few centenarians. Those tough souls will linger on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life for what it is, but also realize the its fragility. Maybe these maudlin thoughts have influenced this first song of the new year, maybe not. This song is a loosely woven lyrical tapestry of traveling, living in the moment, having a home, lost love, and stargazing. These days, I am not much of a traveler, as far as geography goes. I haven’t been out of the county here for quite some time. Some find that shocking. Others find it sad. I find it to be wonderfully grounding. There are places I’d like to go, but I find I can be wowed by the world right here in the now. In a sense, my daydreams of traveling contain a timeless place. Yet, places do change over time. I did not grow up in this place, and have struggled to make it my home. When I do venture out, I often find the last leg of the journey back home to be the most difficult. It is as if the journey to one place ends, and another journey back begins, even though in essence, it is the same journey. And no matter where I go, I always look up at the stars. They remind me of the places I have been, and the people I have known. Some have left an indelible mark on me. I sometimes want to travel back to see them, but then realize the improbabilities of doing so. Like places, those circumstances have changed. It is then, I take a deep breath, or sometimes sigh, and head back inside my home. Mark

When I found this sound, it reminded me so much of Alan.s breakfast at Atom Heart Mother, that I couldn´t resist.
By the way, do you know what this sound is really made of?

Layman’s Eyes a song relating to person who does not have specialized or professional knowledge of a situation or a crisis. Just sometimes Its really obvious and doesn’t require a rocket scientist to see something as to be done or something as to change for the better. 


I’m not a scientist or even that well educated 
If you fly to close to the sun then you have surely underestimated 
There’s no planet B so how high is your ceiling 
Her crystal ball showed me it’s really not appealing 

Chorus
In my Layman’s eyes
I will never be denied 
What’s happened changes
everything 
What’s happening changes nothing at all
In my layman’s my layman’s eyes x2


She said she wants to go back to the 90s 
I told her I have never left cause it was more exciting
Music  film and arts with no social media
I preferred it back then when we were more Bohemian

Chorus 

M/8
Somethings changed
Goes against the grain
Somethings as changed
And I can’t explain 
In my Layman’s x2
This what I see for you and me 
In my Layman’s eyes

Layman’s Eyes ~ Conscience of Kings

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
