Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

Here's a whimsical little track in an early jazz swing style with a bit of humor. It was inspired, but my no means compares to, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by the great Jim Croce.

A New Horizon

Don't Mess Around with Bruno

            ANGELS

Got message from phone,
Said, you like have talk.

Called, nobody home,
Guess things got hot, hot.

You were a guest of the local Gestapo,
They said, “Don’t bother, you’d only be wasting time.”
“The stupid kid, he’s got Angels in his mind.”

You went big time,
hey, wait your turn, hey.
Took everyone’s lines,
Now your minds’ ruined.

You sit alone in a cell,
that’s your home now.
Gathering dust like a book,
that’s been so well read,
If not for Angels, boy would you be dead.

You were a guest of the local Gestapo,
They said, “Don’t bother, you’d only be wasting time.”
“The stupid kid, he’s got Angels in his mind.”

Angels in mind
Angels, Angels, Angels in mind
Angels, Angels, Angels in mind

The Secret Red Orchestra - The Small Dreams of Mr. Wells (Looking for Stella Lane)

Simple dip into a loose limbed swing theme - tenor saxes coming and going with a steady rhythm section fusing the sections.

Tom had a new and challenging collab idea this week, to now try something more different for us, in the soundtrack/cinematic/dramatic/orchestral genre, under the beautiful title/theme of "Composed Chaos". So we are glad to present this composition of ours here! The SoundCloud page of Tom, https://soundcloud.com/user-675973110, provides access to his own fascinating tracks. Do visit his page and enjoy his music!

Artwork cover based on an image and idea by Tom, annotated by Alex M (in Preview) and saved in its final version on 16 September 2020.

Created in collaboration on 14-17 September 2020 (with final mix and recording by Alex M in Logic Pro X) and posted on SoundCloud on 17 September 2020 (by Alex M).

Thank you so much, Tom!

Duration: 6:00 minutes

Composed Chaos - Tom & Alex M

Here is a track I made with Dairv Dubbleyew.
One of the things that fascinates me most in making music is to see how small things starts growing from the little seed.
We had great fun working this one out
I gave him the basic chordline and  frame and now..
Dave`s fingerprints made this very exiting
Enough talking... 
Time to let him out:
