Beautiful combination of melancholy and mysticism

Definitely suits the title by the well-chosen sound vessels! Delightfully COMPLEX! WOW! What a divine meditational, Bruce! I am totally in awe of the instrumental variety!  Such a genius gathering of sounds all rolled into one amazing artist's interpretation! You'd be the kind of teacher that would keep school children awake & excited at any age! ;)  May I call you Doctor Bliss or Teacher Tranquil?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇🤍💐Please accept my moon viewing ceremony award=>>🎑

such a beautiful piece, very moving! 😊👍🎶✨

Best of the Cloud 20 09 2020

This piece was inspired by a short phrase that caught my attention in  Bach's Organ Sonata No.4, played by the prodigiously talented Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson. As is often the case for me, finding the notes in that short phrase started me on a journey, and after a number of miss steps and U-turns I ended up here.

Fallen

In Between is one of my most powerful instrumentals I wrote. It's about being stuck in the in between and finding what you are truly destined for.

Lyrics by Tony Harris 2012 (BMI)

V-1. HE GOT HIS RECORD DEAL TODAY
A SILVER EAGLE BUS IS ON THE WAY
HE'S ON TOP OF THE WORLD
BUT - UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

CHORUS
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN
THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER
ON THE OTHER SIDE
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

V-2. HE'S BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A YEAR
GIRLS ARE SCREAMING AT EVERY SHOW
IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT THE MUSIC
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

REPEAT CHORUS

V-3. MAMA TAUGHT HIM RIGHT FROM WRONG
BUT FAME CAN DRAG YOU DOWN
IN THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

REPEAT CHORUS

ENDING
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

As You were leaving

Sometimes

I have a thousand things to do.
There‘s so much I‘d like to say to you 
and a million reasons I chose not to.

Sometimes I’m clumsy with words.
I‘d like to tell it the way a bird sings.
But I‘m left to think I am an amateur.

I‘m unable to explain,
but I‘ll find a song that can.
It‘ll tell you everything
I fail to say.

Sometimes
a song brings back all the good times.
A few moments of music,
a field of memories.
Do you remember me?

Yeah, I know it sounds absurd.
I love the moments for which I have no words.
I keep on dreaming, even though I know it hurts.

And it’s hard to know it might
never happen. The timing wasn‘t right.
Expectation creates heartbreks late at night.

Sorry, I cannot explain,
but I‘ll find a song that can.
It‘ll tell you everything
I fail to say.

Sometimes
a song brings back all the good times.
A few moments of music,
It’s all a memory.

Someday I’ll look back
and and then I’ll say
I was drunk on love.
You‘re the one I‘m thinking of...

Nostalgia‘s deceptive and keeps telling me
things were better than they seemed at the time.
So I dance and sing along and dwell on fantasies
about times of you and I.

Sometimes
a song brings back all the good times.
A few moments of music,
a field of memories.

Someday
I’ll look back and then I‘ll say
You’re not justa memory,
You‘re  a part of me.

Production: J Vox and M. Tancredi

One time up one time down . We are waves of the universe.

A guitar friend on SoundCloud had challenged me to make a guitar and piano work earlier this year as it has not been done much.. The guitarist who had agreed to collaborate with me could not record at this time so I used my moon guitar software playing piano motifs.. A performance for reaching 2000 + SC followers. 

It sits on the introspective side of neoclassical but with strong melodic content. The piano improv by itself is very different as the MIDI keyboard does not allow great technical difficulty in performance.
Piano improvs on this work on Twitter/FB/YT are popular.

Blissful and Beyond

Dream of the Wild Rose

Dream Of The Wild Rose

Everything by me
--------------------------
Long is the night
Steam rises high
From the kettle in your place

Long is the day
It takes you away
Am I imagining

Everything you say
Is dripping with grace
Am I imagining

Every time I wake
You are there to say
That it will be okay

And you are everything
All my fears
Melt away

You are like a flame
Flickering
In my gaze

You are what I was imagining
Every day,
Since third grade babe

All my mind is scattering
Tripped by the lettering
In every thing

I'm tired of barriers
If you're tired, my darling I'll carry you
And I do what my reverend say
Eyes closed, high walls, blind faith

Blind Faith

Eklektikos - Compassio

Compassio, from Latin, Compassion: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

Always loved this tune so much. I struggle with reaching some of the keys that Wilson and Pierce hit, but I am having a lot of fun. My cousin used to blast this song when I was a kid. 

HELP! The devil's in my car.
HELP! The devil's in my car.
HELP! The devil's in my car.
Ho, devil's in my car, whoa please
PLEASE! Leave me alone!

We're really tearin' tar.
We're goin' 90 miles an hour.
Ho! He's drivin' me crazy.
He's drivin' me to Hell now.

He's pointing his pitchfork at me.
He's in the front seat of my car!
He's taking over!
Oo, he ripped my upholstry.
He's at the wheel,
HELP! The devil's in my car.
HELP! He's drivin' too far.

(scream!) Ooooooh!

Whoooa!

I can't lock the door,
I can't put on my safety belt.
There's nothing for me to do but yell HELP!
Devil's in my car!
I'm goin' to Hell in my old Chevrolet,
I don't know which way.
Oh, HELP! Devil's in my car!
Yeah, yeah. He's gone too far.
I won't see ya tomorrow.
I won't see ya anymore.
He's got his cloven hoof on the clutch.
Oh! Ow! I'm sitting on his tail.

Oh-Ohh, I don't wanna go to Hell.
(I don't wanna go to the devil.)
He's in my car, in my car, in my car.

Ohhhh-waaaaahhh!

The radio gives me static,
there's nothing on my CB.
Oh, HELP! the devil's in my car.
Oh, he's in my car. He's in my car.
The devil's in my car.
We're turning off the road.
Oh! Where ya taking me devil?
Oh! He's grinning door to door.
He's got his cloven hoof on the clutch.
HELP ME!
Oh, I don't wanna go to Hell.
(I don't wanna go to the devil.)
He's in my car.

Freeway to Hell.
We're burning up the road.
Freeway to Hell. (Right through the tollbooth)
We're burning up the road.
Freeway to Hell. (Right through the guardrail)
We're burning up the road.
Freeway to Hell. (Across the median)
We're burning up the road.
Freeway to Hell. (Would you slow down?)
We're burning up the road.

I've got the devil juice in my CARburater!
I've got the devil in my cigarette lighter.
I don't need no battery (I got the devil in my car).
In my car. In my car-oh!
In my car
In my car
In my car
In my car
In my car
