A Romance Underground

An early Christmas present in my stocking!
Recently I awoke to a SC link in my mailbox.  What is this??!! To my utter delight, Oddrun, Arne & Peter surprised me with this wonderful musical gift.  The original piano track was to be a "someday" project between Oddrun and me, but this is triple the fun!  Thank you Oddrun, Arne and Peter not only for remodeling my orphan track, but more importantly for this wonderful gift of friendship.

Evenings With You

As usual…. you’re running late
How long can it take?
To run a brush through your hair, pull on some clothes?
You can talk ….. just look at your state
You made a big mistake
If you think you’re going out with me, dressed in those!
Why…. these are nearly brand new
Give a decade or two
Might concede their first wash is a tad overdue
My dear sweetheart
They’re simply falling apart
Rather, I have to say, just like you
Hmmm…let’s give the restaurant a miss,
Call this evening a day, waddaya say
We pull the blinds, chill the wine, book our sofa for two
Now there’s a plan…..kick off these shoes
Pan the dining out blues
Stayin’ in for …..evenings with you

…..evenings with you…..

Evenings With You. Oddrun, Arne, Peter & Debra

Let's hope the future is open for good turns!

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

Laurie Lou

Dedicated to my dear friend Lisa.

My sincere thanks to David Dunham for his generosity in mastering my track. @david-dunhamuser589535203

The incredible Harry Jacobson joins me on this funky groove oriented fun jam, with a quirky intro and outro.
Harry is well known not only for his distinct masterful electric guitar blues-rock style, but also for his delightfully stinging guitar tones that sustain and blossom into beautiful overtones and harmonics.  
Enjoy the ride!

'In The Citadel Of The MInd' is an exploration really of the imagination...the creative mind, or in my case, "In The Citadel Of The MInd". Utilising mixed genres, as the mind has many portals and avenues to wander down and through.. 

Dont Smudge The Ink

In The Citadel Of The MInd

An electronic/industrial piece, with some fusion elements.

Cosmic Call

'Just When You Are Not Looking' A mixed grenre track of neo-Classical and Fusion. I've called it Alternative Fusion and it was inspired by just how quickly your day can change from enjoying the moment to utter chaos and pain. Accidents happen often when one loses focus and takes life for granted. For example: when washing the dishes, whilst thinking of something else and breaking a glass, and when picking up the broken pieces, cutting one's finger and can't get the blood to stop poring out. Just an example of the myriad things that can change "Just When You are Not Looking"
Is it "mindfulness or mindlessness"
Alan 

Just When You Are Not Looking

'An Untrained Mind' is a Jazz Waltz/Fusion track

An Untrained Mind

Gone is the anger.
Gone is the fight.
Gone is your passage into the light.
Gone are the left
Gone are the right.
Gone is your wiggle room.
When things get tight.

Gone is the doctor.
Gone is your hope.
Gone is the ladder. 
Here's some rope.
Gone is the daydream.
Frittered away.
Gone is the saving up.
For rainy days.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone are the holy.
Out for a drink.
Gone for a cigarette. 
Having a think.
Gone through the window.
Gone through the door.
Gone is the condemnation.
All for more.

Gone is the outrage.
Gone is the time.
Gone are the young men.
Sinking their wine.
Gone is the passion.
Blowing away.
Gone, paranoia.
Gone are the brave.
Away.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

In a changing world, certainly in the UK, revolution and civil war are just around the corner. This track is intended to offer strength to those who refuse to accept insult. Drawing Out those amongst us who are prepared to say no, when no is required. To stand against totalitarian governments, quangos. ngos's and any other arms of oppression.
So this is what has inspired this piece.
Thanks for listening and any comments will be gratefully received.

stepping off the edge with desire
he was the flyer on perception's broken wings
sixteen times he bounced and landed on the ledge
with the shack at the back where the
old man sat on some wooden crates
and spoke of gates in dreams
and trips and traps and strategies and
cautionary tales about inorganic beings
and how to catch a rabbit or lion or a squirrel
with some sticks and strings

Verse 1 

Today I want to tell you, my love How happier I couldn't be with you Every word that comes from you Is a caress I bless

 Pre-chorus

 I'm not rich and I have nothing But with your magic you transform me into a bright star

 Chorus

 Every moment with you is pure magic You electrify me with your love and tenderness It is with you that my sanity is balanced You are my love, a crazy love

 Verse 2 

Your existence is a divine blessing I can feel your sweet essence in every corner You are such an exemplary and beautiful woman 

Bridge 

It would take an eternity To give you all the roses in the world.

 Chorus 

Every moment with you is pure magic You electrify me with your love and tenderness It is with you that my sanity is balanced You are my love. A crazy love. 

Outro I could no longer imagine my life without you. It would be eternal and complete bitterness.



Verso 1

Hoy quiero decirte amor mío
Que más feliz no puedo estar contigo
Cada palabra que sale de ti
Es una caricia que bendigo

Pre chorus 

No soy rico y nada tengo
Pero con tu magia
me transformas en lucero

Coro 

Cada momento junto a ti es magia pura 
Me electrificas con tu amor y tu ternura 
Es junto a ti que se equilibra mi cordura 
Eres tú mi bien, un amor de locura

 Verso 2

Tu existencia es una bendición divina
Puedo sentir tu esencia dulce en cada esquina 
Eres mujer tan ejemplar y tan hermosa 

Puente 

Que tomaría una eternidad 
Darte del mundo todas las rosas. 

Coro 

Cada momento junto a ti es magia pura 
Me electrificas con tu amor y tu ternura
Es junto a ti que se equilibra mi cordura 
Eres tú mi bien. 

Un amor de locura. 

Outro 

Ya no podría imaginar a mi vida sin ti
Sería eterna y completa amargura

Magia pura - D'mendo Boteli.wav

Old song remixed today 

I hear a riff in the clouds so high 
Strings bending like angels sigh 
A melody that won't let me cry 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Do they shine Do they glow 
Do they play the songs we know 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Strings of gold Frets of light 
Echoing through the endless night 
I see a chord painted on the sky 
Six lines drawn where dreams won't die 
A pic in the wind It whispers why 
Can you hear the sound 
Breaking through the ground 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Do they shine Do they glow 
Do they play the songs we know 
Are there guitars in heaven 
Strings of gold Frets of light 
Echoing through the endless night 
Play me a solo Soft and slow 
Let it burn Let it show 
If there's a stage where spirits go

Are there guitars in heaven .mp3

Shyntwirl - Ashes Of The Phoenix On My Skin

Vocals: @Oddrun-Eikli 
Trumpet: @Arne-Hiorth
Lyrics: @user-264930040 (Peter)
Piano: Debra Buesking
This piano composition takes its cues from Beethoven's Bagatelle "Für Elise".  It seemed a bit of fun to give Beethoven's famous piece a new twist and so we have.  Thank you to my dear friends Oddrun, Arne, and Peter, for this marvelous and joyful experience of working together.  It brings us all a bit closer together.

An Autumn Pastorale

The year’s getting late, now summer’s sleeping
I contemplate how autumn’s creeping in.
Berries shining for the birds
As they harmonise each others’ words In a chorus like the angels heard.

The year’s getting late, for carefree living

Lazy times, with honest give and take.
Simple joys like baby smiles
And climbing hills to see for miles
The evening star switching on…year’s getting late

The year’s getting late, memories clinging
Better times, that sweet hope’s bringing in
The last of this year’s butterflies
Mother nature’s neat surprise

Can’t those days come back please? … year’s getting late.

Autumn Pastorale | Oddrun E, Arne Hiorth, Peter the Poet, & Debra B

Time Turns Back by Paploviante | SUNNYBECK Remix

'Shadows In Fallen Clouds' Chemtrails are covering our skies worldwide daily. These chemtrails contain a mixture of chemicals and heavy metals. Most of the worlds population appear to think that these chemtrails are clouds or contrails and some are even oblivious to their very existence. However I am not and am well aware that what is being sprayed artificially in the upper atmosphere, won't stay there for long and will soon succumb to gravity. So then these chemtrails start to fall to earth, with their pollutant toxins. We are then breathing these in and eating the food produced from the contaminated ground and drinking the water. 
My track then 'Shadows In Fallen Clouds' is my protest to this assault on the earth and every living thing on it.

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, organ 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.
