This playlist contains my instrumental songs. I call this project Me And The Sea because these songs are mainly inspired by nature and the sea.

Me and the Sea - Instrumental

This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams (Original)

Dial Rock I on the CR-78 emulator, play some unknown chords on the EP, blow anything that comes to your mind on the melodica and add some bass. The waves sound were included by the drum machine itself. Apparently it was a limitation of the demo version, but it doesn't make much sense, since these waves sound so good =)

Nov 6: Description update
I went to bed Nov 5 before final tallies were in. It wasn't looking good. Didn't sleep much. Got up early Nov 6 morning, fixed coffee, and sat down to read the news. Damn! 

HE IS NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!

The A-side of my new single "Cynical Morning Smoke". Listen first here on SoundCloud. Release on other plattforms November 21st. (2024). A rather ironic song about bad winter mornings.
