Lyrics:
You've nowhere left to turn
With all your bridges burned
Fell into every trap
Now there's no way back
You know it's on the cards
And we can end this farce
We caught you fair and square
Time to say your prayers
It's karma time for you
No escape
The final move is made
Checkmate
You've nowhere left to turn
With all your bridges burned
Fell into every trap
Now there's no way back
You know it's on the cards
And we can end this farce
We caught you fair and square
Time to say your prayers
It's karma time for you
No escape
The final move is made
Checkmate

This was my third collaborative song with Rodolfo, which we started in 2020. The original instrumental piece he gave me sounded like determined optimism and at that particular moment the pandemic made its way into anything I wrote although the beauty of the song is that anyone can bring their own interpretation to its meaning. Its original title was ‘Camino a Mañana’, that I translated as ‘The Route To Tomorrow’ - I guess I liked the alliteration - even though it was a bit of a tongue twister to sing.

I instantly loved the rhythmic punch of this track and recognised early on that it would require a punchy lyric and vocal. Initially I sung the harmony vocals that Rodolfo devised, but as we later developed into the band ‘Continental Collision’ it made sense to draw on all of the talent available in Ce and Gonza, and here introducing Cintia Galeano. Huge thanks to my wonderfully gifted collaborators, you helped make this song shine. I was stunned (as always) by Rodolfo’s attention to detail, his glorious guitar solos and particularly the drumming throughout. Although I might not add to the instrumentation personally, Rodolfo always encourages me to give him feedback. I am particularly fond of this collaboration and each time we work together I learn so much more. Hope you enjoy it too and many thanks for listening. 

Finding the way,
To get through night and day,
Is just too much.
Making your way
Once more through the fray,
Without losing touch,
Is too much,
For me, yeah.

Waiting in line, 
With no hint of a sign,
Is just too much.
Pretending I’m fine 
Knowing that you’re not mine,
It’s too, it’s just too much,
For me,
All of the time.

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

I’ll be OK, 
Whatever they say,
I can take it.
Know I can’t stay,
Gotta get me away
From here.
Before it gets too much for me, here.

I can survive,    
I might even just thrive.
If I make it.
I’m still alive,
Watch me as I arrive,
At the other side of all this pain and sorrow  

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

In attempting to create a little more Celestial Harmonics,
I came up with something that seemed as if 
it must have been evoked from a tune far back in my past.
After about a week or so, it dawned on me that it felt a lot like:

Jaques Offenbach's
Barcarolle: Les contes d'Hoffman:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7czptgEvvU

So, I began the track with my version on a short homage to his work.
However,  his work was in 6/8,
while mine was hanging out in 4/4.

But then...So What...Right?

Resung, remixed & remastered. A different mic and less effects on the vocal make a big difference. Also went for a more intimate delivery.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

My love
I hope you hear you this song
I can’t be without you for too long
And although, sometimes you’re on your own
You’re always, always on my mind

My love 
When you are far 
I can see your smile
I remind myself of your touch
You’re always on my mind

When I get lonely
I close my eyes
I think of you and then I smile

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

My love
Let me know you feel the same way
I wan’t to feel your love every single day
And although, sometimes its not so easy
Remember,  you’re always on my mind

My love, 
When you are near
I can’t lose, I lose all my fear
I know just how to begin
I reach out, I touch your skin

Into my arms, my arms my love
You’re my only love, you’re my only love

Yeah my darling, you’re my only love
You’re my only love

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away

Fade To Grey

Mysterious, Magical, Music is Wonderful!

Thanks for visiting!  Please feel free to share my music.  Enjoy!

I studied music composition in the 1970's and received a degree in music composition and theory. I wrote music for many years but decided never to  make a career of it.  In 2014, I retired from business so I could devote myself to my true passion, composing music.  I am currently involved in writing music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) and collaborating with other musicians on SoundCloud.

NOTE: there is no compression added to the tracks in order to preserve the full range of dynamics. You may want to listen with headphones or increase the volume on some tracks for the best listening experience.
