The sound in here is just delicious. Every little thing is great

Liking those vocals.  Well thought out.  Nice latin vibe, but unique.

Another great track. Hope you don’t mind me saying, it has a little darkness and a slightly sleazy feel to it. I think it’s great .

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Lyrics:

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said

Something was wrong 
this spring was dead 
something was wrong 
this spring was dead 

A sun reflection 
on the dish
no consolation 
in the air
I went out
lost in the park
mile for mile
lost in the dark 

What you said
what you said
don't get sad

Once I figured out
the unwritten truth 
the jugdes gavel 
still didn't fall

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said 
what you said
what you said
don't get sad

You never really asked me
Yyu never really asked me

We lost our glue 
in challenging times
I've no clue 
how to fix the crack

Fullstop

Lyrics:

Sure 
I know why don't write any word
I know that we're in an impass 
consisting of distored mirror images

Sure
I know what could have been 
if we followed the river
before it dry out

And I'm not here
to sort you out 
to please you
so you 
can break my heart

One more time I see clear
one more time I see clear
to change certain things

Sure 
I thought we could take pictures
I thought we could visit the path again
and feel the warm wind

Sure 
all predictions were wrong
all words lost in the tunnel
they falled into infinity

And I'm not here
to sort you out 
to please you
so you can
break my heart

A Trace To Keep Control

Distorted Mirror Images

Cruisin' down the highway in my black and gold machine
Seven nine T/A livin' the dream
Thunderous engine roars echoes in the night
Rock and roll symphony under city lights

Leather-clad seats underneath the sky
Race against time I feel so alive
Gold stripes gleam as we chase the stars
Trans Am legend will leave our scars

Roaring through the decades in my machine
1979 Trans Ams my queen
Rock and roll spirit in every last mile
My passion lit with a rebellious smile

The engine fades and the night draws near
The Trans Am whispers legends we revere
In the heart of rock and roll we forever stand
79 Trans Am a legacy grand

Cruising down the highway in my black and gold machine
Six point 0 with the honeycombs
Cruising down the highway in my black and gold machine
Six 0 with the honeycombs

Black and gold a rebel soul
Burning rubber taking control
Seven Nine a classic ride
On the road of freedom we might collide

Got the T-Tops off and my girl sittin' next to me
Sun shinin' down and her blonde hairs blowin' in breeze
Bird on the hood and there's six liters underneath
Summertime's here and were all headed off to the beach

Six point 0 with the honeycombs
Black and Gold with rebel soul

Got nothing to do but cruise around all day
In my one nine seven nine Pontiac T/A
Honeycomb wheels and the white wall tires
Sweet smell of rubber burnin' down the quarter mile

Cruising down the highway in my black and gold machine
Six point 0 with the honeycombs
Cruising down the highway in my black and gold machine
Six 0 with the honeycombs

Black and Gold a rebel soul
Burning rubber taking control
Seven Nine a classic ride
On the road of freedom we might collide

Ya
Hold on tight cause we're riding through the night
Ya
Hold on tight cause we're riding through the night
Oh ya

Black and Gold

Just You And I

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
I look across Long Island in the setting sun
Shadows seem to dance around everyone
I look back at the ocean there’s nothing but sea
And wonder if this is reality

Verse 2
I walk to the station catch the Stonington line
Lay back my head. It’s like a mountain I climbed
One more day and I’ll soon be there
Providence calls to my evening prayer

Chorus
That’s the way I got from there to here
It seems to roll into another year
A little laughter, a few more tears
That’s the way I got from there to here. 

Verse 3
So the train moves on and time moves on
I’m sitting here thinking that I belong
To this new world of hope, opportunity
No more locks on doors, no master key

Verse 4
The moon shines down across a canopy of trees
On a warm summer night well I feel so at ease
One more day and I’ll soon be there
Providence calls to my evening prayer.

There to Here  Pt. 2

There to Here

There To Here

A song about holding on
Some moving pictures (and words) here - https://youtu.be/YfaXXG3ScHQ

Lyrics Part 1
Don’t go holding on to all of your failure
Not if you wanna reach for success
And don’t bite down on regret too soon
Because you might never get to forget
All the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
And all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors

Meanwhile losers keep on losing their time 
Yet still always they’ll find it to waste
Stuck holding onto that hopeless hope
Just to give themselves a kick in the face
So for the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
To all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
Back then
We never thought about before
Wishing we could swap for before

We ran to choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war

We know we gotta make ourselves our own saviours
And go find new ways to believe
Yeah let’s stand up to always being stood up
By all of life’s cruel fate histories 
So bye to times when we were flailing
Au revoir to lives when we were floored
Ciao to Chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
We ran to
Choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war
The answers not to go on just live out our lives
We must forgive not forget about before
Let’s step up to the plate and feed on love
Not gonna let us die on this floor
Cos if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to fall
We’re gonna die on this floor
Yeah if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to crawl
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
Gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on
We’re gonna die on
Gonna die on
Not gonna die on

Lyrics Part 2
Let love be our law
Let love be our law 
We’ll never forget before
But we must let love be our law
From empty ashes we burn
All life’s lessons we learned
We’ll never heal that hole
Always part of our soul
Let love be our law (never forget) 
Let love be our law
Let love be our law (never forget)
Let love be our law

A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie
