NOTIFICATION  (Collab LIllithe & Paploviante)

Main parts --- nylon and steel string acoustic with some electric guitar overdubs later. A kind of study, with some almost experimental electric guitar ornaments. Recovered the acoustic guitar files, fixed them up, and glued it together! A bit of unevenness in the quality means best on earphones I think.

Step into the Light

This is a re-recording of an old song of our old band from the early 90s. I couldn't convince our singer @user-20931549 to sing on it yet (or any other member to record their parts), so all done by myself few years ago, for now as an instrumental. Anyway, I like it ;-)

Glacial Melt

V1: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, 10,000-year-old glacial giants
Snow white to deep aquamarine
Floating down the current to the warm gulf stream

Icebergs are edges of glaciers
Broken off and slipped into the ocean
90% below the surface of the sea
As deep and as hidden as a secret me

V2: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, frozen giants, compressed snow and water
Crevasses a deep blue
and volcanic eruptions encased in ice cold.

Ocean currents hold me, waves forever blow me
As long as I am deep blue
Try to stop explosions, wind forever blowing
Ocean currents growing too.

V3: Far from the Labrador
Icebergs run aground and begin to start melting
Growlers by the shore
The water that is melting innocent and pure

I feel the force of currents,
my inner momentum
Ice bergs are unstable
but that’s not my story

Melting ice is stronger
Melting ice no longer
I become the ocean
By a warm gulf stream.

Glacial Melt

Superficial

I Love The Way You Do (feat. Mia Charlotte)

'Just Blue Sky' (Live) by Acoustic Growl (Richard Barry)

'Just Blue Sky' (Live)

BABYLON (ft Colleen Bleazard)

I drop the tape lines drawn by ghosts,
Quiet roots lift stone where no one toasts.

I gather names I left in old halls,
Dim bulbs hum out; my echo withdraws.

Signed vows drip down the windowpane,
Fine print runs off into silver rain.

I bless the crack where daylight slides,
No blame, just path where my weight resides.

I hold my worth above crowded rooms,
No empty thrones, no bargain fumes.

Those who scan for shine, step past;
My glow loves those who love it last.

Right on time—my slow-burn, fluent stride,
Hands off the clock; I walk, I ride.

I quit chasing doors that swing for show,
I love the handles that move and know.

Every soft no saves one soft life,
I cut one thread, unhook ten knives.

Calm leans down where the fever flew,
I clear that smoke; I keep what’s true.

I stack my days like steady stones,
No more masks that steal my tones.

Old stories pack their bags tonight,
I keep the lines that land in light.

If you feel my pace, you match my feet,
If not, no war; our routes don’t meet.

I leave like dawn slips out of black,
Clean break, no scorch, no looking back.

I let wrong tables lose my chair,
Empty space grows greener air.

Right on time—my golden inward beam,
No scramble sprint, no swollen dream.

I trust the pull that speaks low, clear,
No circus hook, no yarn of fear.

I tune my spine to quiet yes,
I walk through less and live in more.

My bones remember every wait,
Still I arrive through my own gate.

Love that left taught shape, not lack,
I pour that lesson; I never crawl back.

I hold my palm to my own face,
I love the lines, the woman, the grace.

I choose slow roads that match my eyes,
I read clean skies, not borrowed lies.

What rings true walks close, unshamed,
What drifts loose falls off unnamed.

Right on time—no late, no rush,
Just heartbeat tempo, holy hush.

I plant each no like quiet seed,
Roots learn the dark, then rise and lead.

The ones who see me, walk in tune,
We share soft streets and honest moon.

I stand with all my pieces near,
I ride my life without the fear.

Right on time—open, steady, wide,
I meet myself and stay beside.

No looking back

Crystals and shadows

After our first collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/set-me-down-that-road-rplanesmjbennett - Rodolfo offered me a challenge in the form of a decades old song (in a folk/pop style, complete with tape hiss) that he was updating with a platform that is closer to R&B and my task was to come up with a new lyric. This original break-up song had an air of a happy ending to it, though initially I chose to write something less optimistic… however it became clear that with the new arrangement my words had to match the original mood. The added bonus to this is that I now have another break-up song lyric available for the future.
Singing a song that had already existed in another form meant that I had to find a very personal interpretation in order to make it truly mine. A huge thanks to Rodolfo for sharing his inspiring music with me.

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

Lyrics:
Too many times
Did i sit here and cry
After  the lies
Can we say our goodbyes
Why are you playin
I'm tired of saying
You took it all
When you walked out on me
You're from the city
I'm from the sticks
You were so pretty
But you made love a bitch
Just go 
Take it all with you
Moonlight 
On the morning dew
I'm so sick and tired 
Of messin around
Of mucking it up
Every time that i'm down
I’m so sick and tired 
Of running away
I must be in love
Won’t you just stay

Lyrics:
Catch me looking up when I feel down
Heart ice cold music too loud 
Said you was wanting something real now
You know that my heart is yours to steal now
Feet are on the edge
Messing with my head
Need something true instead
And I'll be just fine on my own
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Say no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Saying no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

I Love The Way You Do (feat. Mia Charlotte)
