So Beautiful and Poignant. Lovely to see / hear this out in the world.

Newly remastered Darkness
You're such a goody two shoes - don't smoke you don't drink booze - sometimes i wonder - how i hooked up with you - you never let your hair down - hardly ever come around - is it that you think your just too good for me.
I'm starting to think can't handle the pressure got a My Little Pony on your dresser for Christ's sake - still believe in elves and Santa Claus - wonder what's really in those dresser drawers -  every time i walk in i have to pause waiting for the moment you take out your claws I'll never believe your really this nice - accepted a man that's cold as ice.
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
Your so conceited when you show the goodness in you and every time i falter you throw it in my face - I'm such a disappointment yet you still come back for more - in spite of all your sweetness your really a disgrace - 
I'm starting to think that i should run this relationship just isn't fun for me no more - still believe in hugs and holding hands you're so blind that's not who i am - may have been back then who i was - used to hit you up all the time just because but that type of shit's all in the past - you can shove your righteousness up your ass
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
I'm starting to think the roof's caving in  I used to believe I was one with the one who made me sin - truth is i really don't care could really give a shit if you're elsewhere darkness has a hold on me open up my arms and welcome him in even if I'm damned for eternity - i don't give a fuck you're too bright for me

Eileen, My Nana and Aileen whom I've started working with musically are inspiring this song...
Finish for 2025 Album

My Nana gave me my first ever piano lesson. I remember it like a video. in this song I used the speed finger/thumb cross over technique she showed me early on. I think of her "Every time" I do it 😊

Lyrics

So she answers,
All the time,
Gone from here,
But still shining down.
It's her presence,
Everyday.
A photograph,
Eternal memory
With you Eyes so Lean
You see my clean... 

The perfect human form
Words can't describe that
Warm, Beautiful, Kind ,Brave, In tune, In time,
Such care
My favourite line 

Call your clean
Prove and grieve
Presence is forever when you remember 

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Feel their good clense

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Remember everyone

We Can Make It

And now for something completely different (thanks, Monty Python)

This track is a poem (see below), written by myself in a brief period where I forsook songs for poetry. Something which I did to widen the scope and subjects I was writing about.

Anyway, I asked Suno for something, musical with Irish roots, and suitable to remember a dear old lady who had recently passed away.

I was presented with the usual multiple choices and worked on splicing two of them together in Audacity. My skill with that software needs to be improved by lots of practice, so here is my first attempt. I hope to be able to do better and replace this track soon.

In the meantime I hope you like the poem and the tune.

For Ellen (in memory)

A grand old age, they all said so
But still it hurt to see her go.
And in the end, Not taking long;
So short a time To move along.

Leaving behind this vale of tears,
Family and friends made through the years.
She had a life that many say
Was just and rewarding, for in her way

She lived and loved those that she knew
Harbouring no grudge, paying her due.
For husband, son and daughter too
She gave her love, she saw them through.

In troubled times she was right there
No need to ask, with strength she'd bear
Them through it all and take their part
With selfless love and generous heart.

As Nan, she loved the children who
Grew up so fast and loved her too.
So weep not for a life so blessed,
Remember Ellen, gone to rest

For Ellen

Prisme

Aurore (Emission)

All my own AI assisted songs, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Souncloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.

For Ellen
