@user-936947521   Thanks again Frans, that really means a lot 😄👍

A lovely song, very well performed, just like several of your songs I've listened to. But a tracknote and lyrics on your songs would enrich the listening experience for me. Just a thought. ;)

Such a touching song, so glad I discovered this today. Thanks for sharing.

Time and Tide

Time and tide they wait for no-one
You feel it when you’re melancholy 
Oh so down and blue 
So don’t fill your cup with sorrow 
And lace it with bad news 
Open up your eyes 
See the brand new skies 
Stretching overhead 

Lips that touched the brim of knowing 
What is good and felt it glowing 
But never took a drop 
You’re wanting something better 
And hope it comes along 
Remember time’s not tide 
Once it’s offered you a ride 
Won’t come this way again

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails 
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
And when you take that stride
Spread your wings and glide 
Let loose all the threads 

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails 
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
Remember time’s not tide 
Once it’s offered you a ride 
Won’t come this way again

When the moon pulls on the ocean 
And makes you feel so melancholy 
Oh so down and blue 
Don’t fill your cup with sorrow 
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes 
See the brand new skies 
Stretching overhead 
Reach for them instead.

Time and Tide

I started writing songs nearly 40 years ago when I joined a band with my friends in my teens and it’s something that still gives me pleasure.  In that time I’ve filled a few exercise books with songs (of varying quality it has to be said!) and now I enjoy going through them and choosing my favourite ones to record.  All my songs have been recorded very simply, just using GarageBand on my iPad with my guitar and voice and a cheap microphone.  Some of them are new and some were written many years ago, the older ones I’ve labelled Robin Solemn and new ones Joe DeVivre to reflect a change in circumstances.  I’ve recently returned to Soundcloud after a bit of a break following a period of poor health, but I’m much better now and excited to get creating again and looking forward to listening to the wonderful new music by the talented artists on here.  P.S.  They always sound better through headphones.
