2020|03 - The Composer's New Music Playlist

Three times so far I’ve been drawn to David’s lovely compositions to sing something! Thanks for these great collaborations David. 😊

Tracks with wonderful guitarist David Dunham. 😊🎶🎤🎸

Based around an acoustic riff, the song is about how a wave can be the start, or the end of something, and maybe a chance to start again. Produced by Shael Wrinch at Stone Hill studios on Bowen Island, B.C. Chris Herbsen on vocals, Shael doing harmonies and more of that great slide guitar. 
Lyrics:
She waved to say hello, she waves to say goodbye
She left a scent of faint perfume, and clouds in a sunny sky.
Coffee stains and magazines, and a space where she used to lie.
We're livin' here on shifting sands and we're left to wonder why.

I could have stared for hours and hours
at footprints in the sand
It took a wave beyond my powers
to help me understand 
that life come in waves.

Children's laughter fills the room. I hear her laugh and sing.
Faces stored in a picture frame can't beat the real thing.
What's been lost and what's been found, and what we hope to gain
is all that matters in the end, not teardrops in the rain.

I could have stared...

Life Comes in Waves

A rainy-day-melancholy sort of piano piece.

LOST AND FOUND (acoustic piano and vocals)

first original xx
written x produced by me
go get em

-
wake up cause the evenings running
away from the hands of the youth
hold fast cause the daylights coming
it'll hit when it dawns on you
take it if its yours to take 
go sleep in the bed that you made
i know its never been easy
to say what you never could say

you'll wait so long 
you'll wait so long

I've been counting all the passing days
you keep hiding in the back room
its taken a while to find you
covered in blue
hey been watching as you walk away
from all you leave in the past
i never thought i could save you
even if its the last thing i do

move on cause the world is moving along right in front of you
if you don't stop for awhile u might miss a perfect view

you'll wait so long 
you'll wait so long

I've been counting all the passing days
you keep hiding in the back room
its taken a while to find you
covered in blue
hey been watching as you walk away
from all you leave in the past
i never thought i could save you
even if its the last thing i do

i won't stop and go and let another day unfold
i miss the feeling that u get when u can have it all

i've been counting all the passing days
you keep hiding in the back room
its taken a while to find you
covered in blue
hey been watching as you walk away
from all you leave in the past
i never thought i could save you
even if its the last thing i do

Wake Up

It's difficult to find the natural order of things, since the order that our mind fancies is like a twisted and mystyfing maze in which one can get lost; only once one finds the exit, one may understand its uselessness and fallibility.

The Land Of The Sun (feat. Ana Magiar)

soundcloud.com/wafia

i call you names inside my head
but i tell you it’s okay
and when i meet you in that place we know 
i lose everything i should say 

give me a window seat i know the glass can keep me safe
you missed your window when you promised you would change 
give me a window seat and i’ll watch you as i drive away 
i want to see your face when you beg for me to stay
 
boy you got me paralysed from the waist up
got so much to say but it’s better to run 
coz all the words wouldn’t be enough
you always liked to speak for both of us

i carved your name beside my bed 
because i don’t like it when you are far
but how can you make this all about yourself 
when you’re so comfortable where you are  

gave you a window seat i knew the glass would keep you safe
i missed my window when i promised i would change 
gave you a window seat and i’ll watch you as you drive away 
tell me you’ll face me when i beg for you to stay

"The Candle" is an ode to 2 genres I adore since many years:
Funk 'n' Fusion & Celtic Music.
Through the years I've dedicated some original tracks of mine to these beloved genres (for example: https://soundcloud.com/quipmusic/calaminus-jiggle-from-on-the-trail) - many of them released within the 2012 album "On the trail".
These tracks were inspired by several musicians/bands who combined Celtic Music with Funk, Jazz and Groove to a Fusion of its own, such as Bill Evans Soulgrass or the early Peatbog Faeries... up to the very special Salsa Celtica who combine Celtic Music with Salsa!

"The Candle" continues the journey of jigs and grooves I started to make (on) my own seven years ago... and spins it further a bit.

This track is also the start for a new collection of original tracks of Calaminus: The Light Series. Topically these tracks will all circle around LIGHT and try to correlate with it musically.
Cause we all long for some light, don't we?!

Hope, you'll enjoy this joyful tune. Thanks in advance for listening.

Yours, Calaminus

In The Morning Sky.

As stars fade away    
As stars fade away
In the morning sky

take me hight
above the stars
in the twinkling Light
from red to blue
waiting for the sun
a star divine
turns to sunshine

As stars fade away
In the morning sky
The garden will bloom forever

Stars. Calaminus and Oddrun Eikli

DNA Blues est un blues aux sonorités africaines, comme on peut l'entendre au Mali et rendu célèbre par quelques musiciens tel Ali Farka Touré. 
Considéré comme l'adn du blues par Martin Scorsese dans le film documentaire du Mali au Mississippi, cette musique dans sa forme la plus ancienne est à l'origine de bien des genres musicaux que nous écoutons aujourd'hui.

In a nut shell, this song is about depression and my personal struggles with it. Life circumstances can be heavy, but "just keep striving"!

The Moon's Theme

When I heard this beautiful piece by David I thought it would make a lovely song. I’m very grateful to him for letting me sing on this lovely piece. 🙂🎶
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely guitar compositions.

Little bird
Won’t you stay a while 
And help me sing

Little bird
Won’t you fly with me
And help me soar

Little birds
Won’t you sing with me
And help my soul

Little bird
Won’t you sing to me
I hear your voice
I hear your voice...

Pajarito (Little bird) by David Dunham & Annie Smart

When David sent me this gorgeous track with emotional back story I knew it would make a lovely song. The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways but I sing this for my late Father who passed away in 2013. He was a beautiful guitarist and would have enjoyed this song. @david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thank you for this lovely song. 😊🎶

Lyrics

We can’t make promises 
That we can’t keep
Though me might try
Don’t say goodbye

We can pretend it’s all ok
Don’t say goodbye 

No breathing without you
No living without you 
No living without you here

Living for today
So much to say
Please don’t say goodbye 

And I’ll be here when you need me
No smiling without you
No breathing without you
No living without you

Living for today
So much to say 
Please don’t say goodbye....

Proud to present my third collaboration with David! This lovely guitar track was calling out to me again to make it a song. Nice to add a little piano too. Thank you David. 😊🎶🎤🎸

@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely tunes. 😊

I’d never run out of things to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your tales
For one more day
Tell you my worries
What’s on my mind
For one more day
Ooh

Never run out of words to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your fears
For one more day

Hold my hand oh
Talk with me...

Tell you my secrets
What’s on my mind
For one more day
For one more day
One more day...

For One More Day (By David Dunham featuring Annie Smart)

Was so wonderful for David to play on this composition after me singing on several of his lovely tunes. I did the singing after David added this lovely guitar part and it really helped me create the story. Thank you David for your time and talent! We hope you enjoy! 😊🎶🎹🎸
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely music.

Oldest tale in the book
The queen
She finds the king

And they dance ‘til the morning light
Oh they dance ‘til the sun says hello

They watch the stars start to fade
The moon fades away

Oldest story
The queen
She makes her move

And she smiles ‘til the sun says goodbye
And she smiles ‘til the morning light

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set

They dance all night
They dance all night

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set...

KINGS AND QUEENS (with David Dunham - lovely guitar)

So honored to collaborate again with the talented Annie Smart.  Annie had this tune in mind for me to add a guitar part. The challenge is to complement and not compete with her lovely keyboard voices while keeping in mind that vocals will be added as well.  After some experimentation with voicing and chord forms, this seemed the best way to go.  We both liked the result and thought it could stand on its own as an instrumental. It is meditative and gentle in its flow, a sweet track, at least we hope you think so:) To hear more of Annie's beautiful music, follow this link: @annie-smart-1

Kings And Queens Instrumental--Annie Smart, lovely keyboard; David Dunham, guitar

Le Passager (concerto du confinement 1 mvt)

When I heard this gorgeous track by David I knew it would make a lovely song. His guitar playing is very lovely so it was a joy to sing this and add some piano here and there! We hope you enjoy our 5th collaboration. 
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thanks for letting me sing and play again. 😊🎶🎸
