Big change over many years this is very poignant

I never get tired of listening to this one...seems new again as I head out to vote in the NH primary today

Love the harmonica! Great job on this song!

It's funny to listen to this song in 2025, everything starts again... 💙🤍💖

The subject and the style of the song are linked to a culture and a knowledge that I only have in part, but that didn't stop me from really enjoying the song, the beautiful harmonica intro and the interpretation !!!👏👏👏

2020 .. couldn´t believe it.. more current than ever...very intense lyrics and wonderful song!

Fantastic Bruce! I really dig this. Great song and performance.

The Upload

A slow, and sad one. (With Jen Di Biasi, vocals.)

One More Try

A Old Glued Together Acoustic Guitar, a Glass slide, a Harmonica, a Wood Block, a stick and a glued together old man.

Dick sent me this great instrumental long ago, full of details and different sections. I was too busy then, now I've enjoyed working on it at last !!

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

Пройди по улице пустой —
морозной, ветреной, ночной.
Закрыты бары, магазины…
Как эти дамы, господа

прекрасны. Яркие витрины.
Не бойся, загляни туда.
Не ад ли это? Высший свет
телесных’? Да. А впрочем, нет.

Она, как ангел, человечна.
Ладони повернула так,
как будто плачет, плачет вечно.
И смотрит милая во мрак.

О, этот темно-синий взор —
какая боль, какой укор.
И гордость, друг мой, и смиренье.
Поджаты тонкие уста.

Она — сплошное сожаленье.
Она — сплошная доброта.
…Прижмись небритою шекой
к стеклу холодному. Какой

морозный ветер. Переливы
созвездий чудных на снегу.
И повторяй неторопливо;
«Я тоже больше не могу…»

Пройди по улице пустой - Стихи © БОРИС  РЫЖИЙ

I’ve got a secret
That fits in my hand
And I mean to keep it for now
You understand

And I’m on an airplane
And you’re on the sea
And one day we’ll marry
Underneath the sycamore tree

Laughter lasts like late summer rain
Thistle and down dance in auburn hair
You blithely beg me to please explain
But when I open my hand 
There’s nothing there

I’ve got a secret
If you’ve got a dime
But I aim to keep it for now
While we’ve got time

And lost in the mountains
High on the plains
And I think I might need you tonight
Like the blood in my veins

Laughter lasts like late summer rain
Thistle and down dance in auburn hair
You blithely beg me to please explain
But when I open my hand 
There’s nothing there

Laughter lasts like late summer rain
Thistle and down dance in auburn hair
You blithely beg me to please explain
But when I open my hand 
There’s nothing there

I’ve got a secret
If you’ve got a dime
But I’m going to keep it for now
Cause we’ve got time

The Secret

The fear and hatred for the man is unprecedented in American politics, yet some 77 million people voted for him in the last election. Detractors & supporters alike agree that he's a disruptor. Some call him a phenomenon; he's certainly an enigma.  And he’s turned the American political culture upside down.  I uploaded this song in October 2020, and perhaps the question in the song title has yet to be answered.

Escape

Blue eyes pierce through the sunlight
True eyes penetrate the soul
Blue eyes burning ever bright
In my eyes you're lifeless like a doll

CHORUS
Fading, wading through all the muck and gunk we made
Saving the best years of my life
Craving, waving goodbye to all the times you stole
Saving the best years of my life

Shallow eyes see what you desire
Feigned eyes let out a single tear
Blue eyes that cloak you as a liar
In their eyes you're feeble and you're dear

CHORUS

The Best Years Of My Life

Some new funky goodness with the superb Joe Bongiovanni.  Joe's got more soul than anyone and adds such great drive with his electric blues sound.  Joe's been a several time finalist at the world blues guitar championships and it sure shows.

I have been passionately creating music for a considerable amount of time. My vibe is mainly Rap, Rock and Pop. My purpose in writing music goes beyond mere entertainment. I am driven to compose songs that serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, and upliftment, carrying a message of hope deeply rooted in the truth that Jesus died for the sins of man. Through my music, I strive to share my personal journey and experiences, revealing how Jesus is an integral part of my life and the creative process.
