I sent the finished folk song and 22 stems to MTM Mastering True Music Production for checking and sound improvement, which worked very well. A very nice team from Spain. Guitars and voice have now got the sound I had imagined. For me it was very worthwhile to pass this mix and mastering on to an external company. When composing and recording, mixing and mastering, your ear becomes fixed in your DAW (brain). You often don't find your sounds that good. That's why I use an external mix and mastering studio to check. I really had a very positive experience with MTM. With young ears and with professional training that completed my work.

Thanks for the collaboration, Freddie and Team MTM Mastering True Music Production

Beautiful Clean Lake

Is she smart? Selfish? Is she really a hero at all? Different people have seen her different ways. I guess it depends who "she" is in your story. No answer is wrong. Hope you enjoy!

She can’t hear you
Too many voices shout her name. They’re all the same
She can’t see you
Turned her eyes to see a future with a clouded view
She is gorgeous 
But it should be obvious that

(Chorus)
She’s her own superhero 
Flying so high her soul turned blue
She’s an epic beauty
Smile so bright it’s blinding you
Oh it’s true
She’s a tragic hero
Fighting her own emptiness
Never forget that
She is beautiful
Never vulnerable

She won’t hold you
She’ll just disappear to save her world again
She won’t love you
If she fell, what would she go through?
She is glorious 
But it should be obvious that

(Chorus)

She’s so strong that she’s breakable
If she bends she shatters
Then she knows she’ll be nothing at all
And that’s all that matters

(Chorus)
She is beautiful but she’ll never be yours
Never be yours

Her Own Superhero

Lyrics

I’m looking for a time tree
Growing moments ‘stead of green
I’d put ‘em in my pocket now
Save the seconds that I found
I’m searching for more time you see
You never know how much it means
Til what’s lost just can’t be found
Can’t have fun ‘til it abounds
So I’m looking for a time tree

(Chorus)
Tick tock
Ringing in my ears
Tick tock
Echoing my fears
Tick tock
Hear that ghostly clock?
Can’t stop 
Looking for that time tree

There’s a forest by the sea
Can I find my fabled tree?
Can’t pause to see the beauty now
I’d drop more moments on the ground
I’m searching for more time you see
I have to find that treasure tree
Nevermind the hours spent
I’ll pay back the season lent
When I find my time tree

(Chorus)

I never found my time tree
I searched for a century
Should have stopped to feel the breeze
In that instant by the sea
Wasted time, I do believe
Looking for a time tree

Time Tree

Immerse yourself in Siegfried Jünger's 'Solitude's Cold Embrace,' a dark ambient masterpiece that seamlessly blends ambient, electronic, and experimental elements. Jünger's artistry shines through the hypnotic journey, where haunting echoes of dark ambient music and the mesmerizing allure of drone guide you into an intricate soundscape. Influences of industrial music and rhythmic synth pulses add complexity, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The track's structure, with nods to noise music, introduces an edgy and unpredictable dimension to the composition, enhanced by the use of synthesizer and modular synth, contributing to the overall dark music aesthetic.

Beyond a mere musical piece, 'Solitude's Cold Embrace' is a transformative sonic experience that transcends genres. Jünger crafts a profound exploration of introspection, resonating with solitude through evocative artistry. This dark ambient odyssey, enriched by intricate sound design, positions Jünger as a visionary in the realm of experimental and ambient music.

Beginnings

It's a new year and can be a fresh start! Even when the fight seems pointless, there is always a way out. Happy New Year to all of you! I pray it brings new beginnings. 
**For those who are interested, Uisge-beatha is the Gaelic word for whiskey. It directly translates into "Water of Life" or "Life Water".

Lyrics
You’re sweet amber calling my name.
 You know I'm weak. I can't turn away.
 I'd left you behind but will decays.
 Can't let you touch my lips, cause then you might stay.

(Chorus)
Uisge-beatha
My poison pill in a crystal case.
You are my worst flaw.
Bring warm relief and then more disgrace.
I want you gone. A clean slate.
But tonight I hate,
You’re life water.

You make me forget that life's a mess
You make me feel young, give me finesse
When your magic fades you’ll possess
Every inch of my world but I'm in your net

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And tomorrow I know I’ll regret tonight
But I need you to help me escape my mind
And the pain I’ll avoid when I yield to you
But I swear it’s the last time and then we’re through

(Chorus)

Life Water

Life's been throwing some curveballs, but I was finally able to put together a little love song today. Missing all my writer friends. Thinking of ya'll.

Good Old Days

We all got them, some just can’t be seen……………cheers for having a listen


A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

There’s another side to me
That you don’t really know
But if you look real hard
There’s a story to be told

And if it’s not what you wanna see
You can look away
They’re always gonna be there
My scars are here to stay

They been years in the making
Star of their own show
I can’t ask them to leave
Like me they got nowhere to go

A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

My Scars

Come what may.
Wind in his face.
Ice in the rain.
Omega shelf.
Edge of the land.
The whole mass shifts.
It may as well be the edge of the galaxy.

These thoughts, roads, pathways: a fallacy
a carefully contrived anomaly.

Breeze of her passing above his grave.
The flowers hang in droves
while the dew bends them back down
to their beginnings.

There are many versions and different traditions of the story of the Magi and about their journey. And about their origin. Pictured on the cover is a drawing found in the 'Catalan Atlas,' a map of the world dated to the late 14th century. Pictured here are the three kings. The caption reads: “This province is called Tarshish, from which came the Three Wise Kings, and they came to Bethlehem in Judaea with their gifts and worshipped Jesus Christ, and they are entombed in the city of Cologne two days journey from Bruges.”
But where was the city (or the country) called Tarshish (Tarsis, Tharsis), whose king was already mentioned in Psalm 72?
No one, exactly, knows.

I recorded the guitar part in 2018, when bought a Guild (my Washburn had become mute ...), so the track has a lot of noise and imperfections. Then there were several attempts to organize the piece and arrange it. This could be the last one. It came rather long and slow. But long and slow was also that improbable (and hardly true) journey - perhaps one could imagine it by closing the eyes and listening to the music.

Lost Girl [Thought I'd Lost You Forever]

[Verse]
Lost girl in the moonlight, call my name
Thought I'd lost you forever, no more games
Fading in the shadows, feel your trace
But I'm holding on, still sense your space
Through the echoes, I hear our song play
In the dark, love's fire keeps my heart swayed

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

[Verse]
Our paths diverged in the misty haze
Yet your memory lingers, through the maze
In the midnight silence, hear your sigh
But I'm reaching out, beyond the night
In the quiet, our story unfolds
Through the tears, our bond ever bold

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

[Bridge]
Though the pain cuts deep and wide
Our love's an endless, rhythmic tide
In the fractures, the light seeps through
Brutal love, yet beautifully true

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes
I feel you whisper in these skies
Holding on to what we've known
Love like a river, can't let go

Lost Girl [Thought I'd Lost You Forever]

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Same bed, same room,
But I don’t feel you move.
Eyes wide, your back turned,
Love fades, we don’t learn.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But miles in between.
Too quiet to fight,
Too loud to dream.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Verse 2]
Hands close, no touch,
We don’t talk that much.
Used to burn so bright,
Now we hide from the light.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But I still pretend.
Too tired to leave,
Too far to mend.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Bridge]
Don’t know who gave in first,
But we made it worse.
Don’t know what it means to be
all alone without you and me.

[Final Chorus]
Half a heart away,
Still lying side by side.
No fire, no flame,
Just the slow goodbye.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Guess we’re close enough to stay...
But still half a heart away.

Half A Heart Away

Fragile Dreams

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.
