When you want to confront someone about a sensitive matter that annoys you, you got a bone.

I Got A Bone

In the dark of night, there's things that don't feel right.
Like a creature of the night with a healthy appetite
I saw a beautiful woman standing by the dance floor
I met her gaze she smiled at me
 I knew the rest was history as my heart beat quickly in my chest (in my chest)

The night past by in one big blur and in the morning there was no sign of her
I tried so hard to convince myself that it was only just a dream

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

As the day began to wane and darkness fell like bloody rain
I could feel a sense of foreboding in the air
I turned around and she was there
Next to me with long dark hair
Staring at me with a hungry pointy grin (hungry pointy grin)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Now she stops by every night and something tells me things aren’t right
Cause it’s been more than a week since I’ve seen the light of day

Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you believe it’s true
My memory’s kind of foggy. There’s not much I can do
I’m sick of being stuck in this cold dark place
I want to feel the sun shine on my face
And I’m searching for a cure to what’s ailing me (what’s ailing me)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Vampire Dressed In Lace

As the title implies, this is a sea shanty inspired instrumental.

As I wrote this piece on piano, my intention was to record it as a guitar piece. However, I liked the result on piano, so here it is. A guitar version will likely come as well.

I had fun writing and recording this piece, and I hope you enjoy listening.

just a day jam to keep 💡 with a poorly cigarbox piezo mic...;)

(Excerpt From) Dora & Larry's Wedding

Seesaw

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely
 
[Verse]
In shadows I've lingered, pain a close friend
But now I seek to transcend, let this torment end
Embrace the night, let the moon light my path
Inhale the sweet air, escape from the past
Trade tears for laughter, let joy be my guide
No more will I hide, let my spirit abide

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Verse]
Once a captive to sorrow, a mistress of woe
But I've slain that sorrow, watched her ghost go
Dance in the rain, let the raindrops sing
New life in each spring, my heart shall cling
Colors flood my dreams, now awakened I stand
I'm ready for the land where golden peace expands

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Bridge]
The sun will rise on my hope-filled dawn
I've shed my chains and the night is gone
In life's dance, I twirl and leap again
With courage as my guide, I'll transcend

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Verse]
I was never defeated, just paused for a time
In the silence, I waited for life’s perfect rhyme
Now the dawn calls me forth, I answer its song
For too long I’ve been still, but now I belong
The chains of the past, I leave them behind
With each step, I find the courage to shine

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

This sweet girl pop song was composed and performed by Roses Are Blue. It´s a big honour and joy for me that Rose let me add some guitar to this wonderful song! Thank you, Rose :-)

Sketchs Day jams , samples, instruments sequences ,patchs synths, artworks , draws and photos...etc  home-made :)
It's a day's work in general, I keep the mistakes from the live arrangements, and from the instrument sequences.
Sometimes without a timeline, I try to keep an organic and improvised side, analog, digital, whatever ;)
