Congratulations, Catherine! This song will rock!

Yeah this has got a great feel to it, almost a western  feel, agree with your vocal choice, needs a deep-ish voice

That feeling... when your dreams are so good, you just don't want to wake up.

Lyrics:
Exploding Dreams
Sleep can bring dreams that explode without warning,
So you long for the clock to hold back the morning,
Just a few more winks under Elysium’s elms, 
In the Brigit-bright night of other realms,
Of purple-hued mountains, high overflying
On a long-necked, long-legged crane, of Love undying.

In Persephone’s land, pomegranates gleam, 
Glistening cobwebs with rainbow dew stream. 
Demeter gliding through fields of cornflowers
Like lapis-lazuli, in the wee small hours.
Where Beauty walks in She, throughout the Night,
Veiled behind delicate, silver-winged sprites.

Crepuscular dark of the Land of the Fae,
Deep Saturnine pitch. Not such gaudy Day,
So brassily attired; it’s carbon klieg light 
An insult and blasphemy to my sight...
But wait ... rose light at the window calls us.
Aurora is here and with her, the dawn chorus.

Exploding Dreams

ft. Jimi @jimi135

ALL ALONE

Oh oh gotta find my own way out
Oh oh have to overcome my doubts

The night is cold I feel so sad
All alone
Once in a while along the way
On my own

Oh oh gotta find my own way out
Oh oh have to overcome my doubts

Never found
A place to stay to feel ok yeah
Life is a lonely road
Where you are taking the shade

Oh oh gotta break into my past
Oh oh better find myself at last

Tous les jours c’est le même cauchemar qui m’attend
Je reste dans le froid polaire et j’ai pas de blouson
Que des gens bizarres et pleins de tentations
Dans le feu de l’action tout devient bresson

Ouai j’ai même pas eu temps de te dire
J’ai l’impression que tous les jours c’est le même film
Ouai j’ai même pas eu le temps de te dire
Même plus le temps de rire, ha

Je débite sur la guitare
Et je me dis que j’ai plus trop le temps
Flash d’alcool même plus de diluant
Ramène tes plaques et masse d’argent
Je veux sortir sentir le bois de l’argent
Moi j’ai plus le temps je coupe même sans gants
La haine m’attend, le love je suis plus dedans

J’y vais tout seul
Sur les autres j’ai arrêté de compter
Qu’est-ce tu veux que je te dise
Il te baise si t’as trop de bonté
Si t’es mon ami je te jure pour toi
Je vais pas compter compter compter, wow hey

Wow oh oh oh many time I’ve been alone
(J'ai arrêté de compter, j'ai arrêté de compter)
Wow oh oh oh anyway you’ll never
Know the many ways I’ve tried

PERO ABUELO…

Yo no sé si, si hasta donde te encuentras,
alcanzará el eco de mi canción
me ilusionaría que así fuera
porque desde hace tiempo en mi interior
impulsado por una gran fuerza
algo me obliga a darte una razón
a por qué renegué de tu enseña
cuando hoy es, con honor, mi profesión.

Hoy comprendo lo que tú querías
y he de reconocer que te fallé
lo vi en tus ojos sin alegría
cuando tus enseñanzas rechacé.

Estribillo

Pero abuelo… sólo era un niño
que siempre pensaba en jugar
a vaqueros contra los indios
algo muy lógico a mi edad
pues cuando se es un chiquillo
eres ave sin libertad
que espera el mínimo descuido
para abrir alas y escapar.

--------------------

Yo sé que te marchaste del mundo
con el pesar de la fatalidad
te hubiera gustado que los tuyos,
cuando llegara la hora de expirar,
se quedaran con todos tus triunfos
pero el destino no hizo realidad
tu intención y, al final, en ninguno
anidó tu bagaje musical.

Hoy abuelo marcho tras tus pasos
y si quiero triunfar he de luchar
estoy seguro que de tu mano
mi misión no podría fracasar.

Estribillo

Pero Abuelo HD

Just the instrumental because I am in search of a singer with a similar sound to Johnny Cash for this one. Potential lyrics below.

Old native man, weathered hands
Pointed at the sky
He turned to me, said, “The clouds are green”
And fear tore through his eyes
“Best get home. Don’t walk, don’t roam
‘Cause death is at the door
It feels the same as it did that day
I’ve seen this all before”

(Chorus)
I saw a dead man walkin’
Head up in the clouds
Feet tore up the ground
I saw a dead man walkin’
See him turn to you  
Reaper’s gonna get his dues
You're a dead man walkin’
Oh, dead man walkin’

Siren’s screamed. Wind was mean
Pine smell filled the air
Power flashed, windows smashed
Smoke legs standin’ there
Curled on floor, shook to the core
Prepared my life to lose
A moment more, the giant roared
As he ripped off the roof

(Chorus)

Then a minute felt like an hour
Opened my eyes, he found me
World went to black but now he’s back
And the dead man comes for you

(Chorus)

Lightning appeared
Man disappeared
I knew the end was near
I’m a dead man walking

Dead man Walkin'

Same Sh@t; New Year

want you to suffer
I want you to cry
I want you to hurt 
and here is why 

I want you to know 
what its feels  inside 
when all that you loved
 has withered and died

 I want you to learn 
the hard way the though 
because there is no other 
way that you can know

 I want you to hurt 
 like him her  and I    
I want you to cry        
 when you say good bye

you shouldn't play with hearts
 like playing cards
 picking up and dropping 
 when the game gets hard

I want you to feel
a little like me
when you hear the 
name of some one you cant see

now life is hard 
we hurt and cry
 when we wish all 
we  loved …....good bye 

we love love love then  good bye
we hurt hurt  hurt then we cry

Quirky indie-pop. One of my earliest lyrics from way back. Music by James T, session vocals, pro demo. Copyright 2007 Jay Rich and James T. 

The story behind this is strange... I sent the lyric to 6 potential co-writers, with 5 either not responding or saying 'too quirky, uninspiring' etc. But I liked it so pitched it to a 6th - James, who went on to become a music teacher. He loved it and gave me a great tune straight away, so I had the song pro demoed... The moral being stick to your guns if you think something works and ignore the naysayers!  What do they know anyway...🙄Lyrics below:

                  Tokyo, Tokyo

V1:

I got a yen for the sushi and a geisha in kimono
Chopsticks, karate, and judo at the dojo
Then I saw a samurai who told me his bushido
He said if I was up to it he'd show me some aikido
Next I met a sensei who offered me a bonsai tree

Lift:

He harboured an ambitious plan
To make me a top fighting man
A Nippon-style Chan or Lee
Like a sumo wrestler in a gi

Ch1:

Tokyo, Tokyo, find where to go in Tokyo
Catch a show in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a lot of fun
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone

V2:

Unless you're the Lone Ranger you could be courting danger
But there are worse places for unwary strangers
Once I faced a mugger on the streets of Calcutta
He tried to steal my pocket book
I gave him such a dirty look
Because I know my kendo I hit him with a cane bo (stick)

Lift:

But not my oriental sword
He was my makiwara board
It hasn't happened in Japan
For that I feel a lucky man

Ch2:

Tokyo, Tokyo, the lights are low in Tokyo
Take it slow in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a lot of fun
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone

Bridge:

Now Tokyo's a busy city buzzing with high energy
Tall towers, ferris wheel, zen tranquillity
Rainbow Bridge for sightseeing
Venus Fort and doll museum
Puffer fish, a gourmet dish, and all the kaiso you could wish
Dazzled by the neon signs
Sozzled on the sake wine
I came in on the bullet train
Narita flies me out again
Narita flies me out again
Out again

Ch3:

Tokyo, Tokyo, feel the glow in Tokyo
There's rarely snow in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a pretty one
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone




Tokyo, Tokyo (James T music, session vocals, pro demo)

Enjoing Life

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

The Floor (holding on)

I'm a songwriter first and foremost. It is my passion. I will never claim to be a singer but I do my best with what I was given. If what I write has given you a moment of joy or introspection, then that is enough.
