Glad this was reposted by Sunnydaze, reminded me how much i enjoyed it when you first posted it!

Really like your take on this one and enjoyed just as much as the first time I listened. Beautifully re-created, Friend!

OLDIES

Cicadas are all about love, singing each summer, and inspiring this song!  Friends encouraged me to release it again with the recent big cicada generations.  Hope folks remember this song and smile when they see or hear the little critters - enjoy!

Lyrics:  😊

(Humming Cicadas)

(Dreaming Cicada)
When I woke up from this endless aching time
I’d dreamed that you were here still sleeping by my side
I thought we promised all our love for all our lives? 
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Awakening Cicada)
I rose and sung a song to fill the skies
But I wished it filled the silence in your eyes
Come and stay with me – I’ll love you ‘til I die!
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Anticipatory Cicada)
In the evenings I still lie awake and cry
I’m waiting on morning for the sunrise in the sky
Then I’ll fly!   Yes, I’ll fly! 
I’ll fly!  Yes, I’ll fly! 
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Hopeful Cicada)
I love you – will forever – can we try?
And I hope I hear your promise in reply
Come away with me – I’ll love you all your life!
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Don’t cry…

(Singing Cicadas)
I thought I heard you before I saw you
Sounding like you’re coming alive!
Breaking out, the whole world’s before you
Hope you write your name in the sky!

(Flying Cicadas)
Ah, ah, ah, ah – yeah, yeah!   Ah, ah, ah, ah!   Yeah, watch us fly high!

When I get To Heaven

“It Rained Last Night" with the rumbling thunderstorm and original Taylor LKSM-6 acoustic guitar.  My co-writer Greg Coombe and I hope you enjoy this hauntingly mysterious tune. My deep thanks to Jim Rothlisberger for his cool storm painting too! ⛈️

Lyrics:   🙂

It Rained Last Night 

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
It rained last night,
Loud bang of thunder kept me up, kept me up.
Raindrops, the damn constant plunking, plinking of water, 
Seems to drive me insane...

[chorus 1]
I left the window open,
You went to shut it and left in the rain! 
Left in the rain...!

[verse 2]
Mystified by the silent goodbye,
And I wished that I could fly.
Toast was burnt, the coffee was ruined, 
It’s the little things you notice, 
When you notice they’re gone...

[chorus 2]
It rained last night, soft rumble of thunder, 
And it turned you on! Turned you on! 
Turned you on, and on...!

[instrumental outro]

It Rained Last Night

Kerouac's Lost Melbourne Weekend by Tikkek

Don’t kill my mood! 

Last weekend—gone in a wild, golden blur. 

A pulse. A riot.

Police band roaring Roxanne at The Prince… 

Slices of marinara pizza at Topolinos, hot and fast… 

Then the piano bar on Chapel—hands clapping, hips swaying, hearts thumping like a second kick drum.

Dancing, singing, spinning through the night like we’d been born to burn out beautifully.

Beers and Prosecco in tandem, sugar-slick kisses on balconies and back streets…

Love, maybe. Or something damn close.

Cigarettes and laughter hanging in the air like jazz notes at midnight.
Home at 4 a.m.—crashed into bed like a comet.

Then up again. Eyes blurred. Road humming. Geelong in the distance like a sleepy mirage.

Curry hotter than sin, music louder than thought—bands in Malop Street throwing riffs into the sky.

Smoke in my lungs, haze in the hills, city lights scattered below like spilled silver.

Another cigarette. Another glimpse of the eternal.

Home again. 4 a.m. again. Body aching sweet with the memory of it all.

Another perfect weekend burned into my bones.

Another one waiting just down the road.

The night breathes music. The moon knows my name.

Till next time, girl…

Dig it. 💋🌹

Kerouac's Lost Melbourne Weekend

A song in Finnish about a guy who lives a very plain and safe life, but imagines himself to be at least as cool as DiCaprio in the movies. Updated preversion (2).

Phil Collins - Take Me Home (Milko Mancuso`s Extended ReConstruction)

Classic tune from the 1930s written by Will Hudson and Irving Mills.  Lyrics by Eddie DeLange.

Moonglow

Decided to do a version of Let It Snow using guitar, vocals and messing around on Ableton with the drum rack and other midi options.

Let It Snow

This is a song we do at sing along at work and is a lot of fun to play.

All Of Me

There's a full moon tonight and it reminded me of this song we do at work with residents during the sing alongs.  It came out in 1909 on the vaudeville circuit, was written by Madden and Edwards and was later a big feature during the Ziegfeld Follies revues.

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon

This is a classic Cole Porter tune that I have always enjoyed and I've been listening to a lot of Sinatra lately and decided to cover this.

++++. 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.
