Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel!  **I NEVER USE A.I. FOR ANY OF MY SONGS!** Just me & Charlie warts and all! I actually play all the instruments & Charlie sings and plays the Harmonica! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL!! 
This is another of my travels down Memory Lane songs and video. I love to reminisce about the good times when I was a kid and life was ours for the taking! Those sweet memories seem to be diminishing now and being replaced with harsh ones about hatred and division and greed. Okay, but let's stay positive and happy for now because this song is one of joy! Charlie sang it perfectly and once again I got my beautiful wife to come down to the studio and join me in the backing vocals as I did on the song "I Still Remember". It has that same early 60's rock & roll groove to it and we had a fabulous time recording it! This is one of my favorites because it's a story song about being teenagers and having fun! As the French always say "La joie de vivre"!

I worked very hard on the video and storyboarded it like some of my other songs to try and relay that carefree ambiance of youth! My wife at the time was feeling much better and had regained her strength and vibrance after all the cancer treatments the year before. Overall 2009 was a good year and it shows in this song! I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks again for watching and listening! Watch the video and subscribe! "It seems times were always  better and  life was easier to play, somehow we'd always find comfort in tomorrow back in younger days." Take care! 🙏😎✌🏼

“BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS"

TELL ME DO YOU REMEMBER? 
WHEN WE FIRST MET BABE?      
LIFE WAS LONG, THE FUTURE BRIGHT,     
IT WAS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND I’LL NEVER FORGET BABE,
HOW WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE THAT NIGHT,
      
WE HAD THE HUNGER IN OUR SOULS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,    
OUR HEARTS BEAT JUST FOR ROCK & ROLL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,

SO WILD AND SO AMBITIOUS, 
NOTHING EVER MATTERED,             
HAND IN HAND AND DAY TO DAY,    
CHASING DREAMS AND WISHES ON OUR WAY UP THE LADDER,    
WITH ONLY LOVE TO LEAD THE WAY,
     
WE HAD THE WILL TO ALWAYS TRY, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FIRE IN OUR EYES, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
        
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,        
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
                  
ROLLIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE RADIO BLARING,    
UNSURE JUST WHERE WE HAD TO BE,    
WE WERE GONNA DO THINGS OUR WAY, 
UNINHIBITED AND DARING,  
WAS HOW WE FACED OUR DESTINY,
     
WE NEVER HID OUR FEELINGS WELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,   
WE SHOT THEM DOWN & GAVE THEM HELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
      
CUTTIN’ CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL, 
RUNNIN’ AROUND & HAVIN’ FUN,   
OUT OF CONTROL EVERY NOW AND THEN,     
THERE WERE NEVER ANY RULES, 
TWO OUTLAWS ON THE RUN,     
YES LIFE WAS DIFFERENT WAY BACK WHEN,
      
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THEM ALL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FUTURE BY THE BALLS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS, 
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,     
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,           
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,       
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,        
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,       
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS.

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

Dancin' on Nothin'

A song idea in Finnish language - a short demo - summer vibes but not really - Lyrics below: both FI / EN

Sound of rain - my tears for OZZY ... even though he said... No More Tears - RIP.

"Katson ulos, kaikki kaunista, sisälläni tyhjyys harmaana.
En tiedä mistä minne meen, meen sinne minne tie vieneen
On mulla vain hetki tää, ei muuta mitään ihmeempää...

Katson ulos, kaikki kaunista, sisälläni tyhjyys harmaana.
En tiedä mistä minne meen, meen sinne minne tie vieneen
On mulla vain hetki tää, ei muuta mitään ihmeempää..."

Translation of Lyrics

"I look outside, everything is beautiful, inside me only grey emptiness. I don't know where I'm going, I'm going where the road takes me. I only have this moment, nothing else to build on.

I look outside, everything is beautiful, inside me only grey emptiness. I don't know where I'm going, I'm going where the road takes me. I only have this moment, nothing else to build on"

vain hetki tää

You Are The Future Now

(John Stone)

You are the future now
It’s time to recognise it
I’ve  put it off somehow 
But now I’ve come to realise it
Time has had its way
And no one can escape it
No matter what you try to do
The sands of time will get to you
You step aside for someone new 
When all is said and done 
You are the future now

It’s true we’ve had our ups and downs
We never will agree on
Which one of us is standing
On the side of history
But who knows what the future holds
Events will ebb and flow 
The people change their point of view
And when and why we’ll never know

Perhaps there’ll be a time 
When all will be accepted
And those who’ve seen it all before
Are valued and perhaps respected
Reason leads us to
Only what we choose to view
Be open to the things you see
And you may see things differently 
To be the best that you can be
But now your time has come
You are the future now

The cycle rolls around
You briefly take the stage
You will have to understand 
The complications of our age
And those who lived another time
And those who’s views do not align 
Because they walked a different line 
As now it’s up to you

You’ll watch your children grow
And try to teach them what you know
And hope they’ll understand 
The world just how you’ve come to see it
From your point of view
But one day they will rise
And as they look you in the eye
Don’t look away, don’t criticise
The time has come to recognise
That you must tell them too
You are the future now

You Are The Future Now

This high energy track has a mix of stylistic elements of some of my favorite jazz/fusion guitarists that have influenced me over the years. (Metheny, Scofield, Henderson, Martino). I did not necessarily intend this... the track just seemed to develop this way on it's own.  
Except for my guitar, I programmed/sequenced every instrument that is heard. 
I also must give additional credit where it's due. This composition and track, as it exists now, would never have come to be if it weren't for a free-form jam session recorded in 2013 with local musician friends Mitch Shelly (on bass), Don Plowman (on drums), and myself (on guitar).  While listening back to the jam recording, one particular spot caught my ears in which I realized could easily turn out to be the heart of a new composition. Thankfully, the combination of the bass line, drum pattern, and melody that now makes up the main theme of Intrepid Spirits was captured! Of course, much more was added to this main theme to build it into the composition and track as it exists now.

INTREPID SPIRITS (Audric Jankauskas-2016)

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!
