Inside, the heart still aches
There’s no way around, all the sights and sounds that greet the day
What will it take
Just To climb that hill, such a bitter pill..that lingers there

Outside, the air is light, as the sun appears, and you feel the fears
Begin to grow…another fight
Then you hold the tears and the yesteryears
Inside your mind…

Now I’ll be on my way watching days go by
Searching to find a way and wondering why

Til then I’ll try again, as I watch the change through the windowpanes
And soldier on into a world
Such a pointless cause stuck in these four walls
As darkness falls

Now I’ll be on my way as days go by
Wasting away and a wondering why…

Darkness Falls

Thank you Philippe!
I hope you will enjoy listening to this piece....
Thank you for listening....

DRUMAX 64 / COSMIC SIREN

This is a collaboration with my friend xian3 https://on.soundcloud.com/QOm69lt9nGrn7W0dEL from SoundCloud. His original track had a rock flavor, but I halved the BPM and reimagined it with a tropical jungle vibe. I also got help from mozawa_*  https://on.soundcloud.com/CsHi8jD7VOjfujT9Dq on the percussion tracks. 
You can check out Xian3’s original version. https://on.soundcloud.com/U65g2z6R8LhU8NJ5N4

’Miss Terious’

Basically we're all the same Gifted with a body and a brain And a heart that beats us through all those ways Through glorious nights and fatal days
Still there's something...mysterious
We have changed the world so much In different ways we lost the touch But we don't want to take the blame There's no reason in this game Basically...
Still there's something...mysterious
Working hard in all different ways Winter, spring, summer and fall All the time again and again To deny who is to blame Basically...
Still there's something...mysterious
Still there' something more above A mysterious thing called love

Talking about our lifetime

kleiner Prinz ( Deutsch )

Is there any season as young as summertime? Is there any feeling as great as youth? Is there anything more worth protecting than a summer as we know it from our youth?

Still
This fragrance 
Like only
Summer air

Cloudless
Weightless
Wonderland
Life-size

Everything can be
Simply
Everywhere 
Sunshine

Warm light
A perfect world 
Sky high
Blue tent

Nobody knows
Or do they?
Whether and how
Long it will last?

Everyone sees
What happens
Everyone has
Got it

Never again like this
Never again like this
Everything is over
And over

Always young
Best time
All's well
Lightness

Popsicles
Convertible
Soul laughs
Just like that

Can do anything
Free choice
Tomorrow is
Doesn't matter

Nobody knows
Or do they?
Whether and how
Long it will last?

Everyone sees
What happens
Everyone has
Got it

Never again like this
Never again free
Everything is over
And over

No more good
Sun glow
Heat red
Hot death

Dry field
Desert world
Summerland 
Burnt down

Summerland 
burnt down

Sommerland abgebrannt

What if is a song about taking people and everything for granted. 

What if the sky forgot to glow
What if the rivers ceased to flow
What if the stars just fell asleep
Would you still have dreams to keep

What if the world just spun too fast
What if today became the last
Would you hold on or let it go
What if
My love
We’ll never know

What if .mp3

I think of some of the "old timers" that have influenced my life especially when I was a younger man, the stories they shared, the wisdom in those stories if I listened closely, and most sobering, that I'm an old timer myself now.  This song is a bit of a musical portrait of encountering an old timer at a small-town diner and enjoying a bit of food and conversation.  Joining me in this visit is ace pianist and valued collaborator Debra Buesking.  As always, her playing enriches and informs my playing and is totally sympathetic to the theme.  Thank you dear friend for sharing this special musical moment.  Hear more of Debbie's superb composing and playing @debra_buesking. Thanks to George Motz Photography for the track picture.

On a personal note, I appreciate all of you that reached out to me upon hearing about the devastating flood in central Texas that swept away many lives and much property.  It was a worst case scenario happening on one of the busiest weekends of the year.  Amarillo stayed high and dry during the event, but all of us were touched, as was the whole world, upon hearing of the tragedy.  Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
