Wonderful characterful vocal and emotive melodic music in a gentle but strong vibes folk track!

this is really well created, nicely crafted, well sung...and has a lovely feel to it

Pretty voice and nice songwriting. Good job.

Little Paper Plane's Adventure

When Waves Mix

At some point, a long time ago, I gave up on creating a "new" musical language. It was still possible, in the late nineteen eighties and early nineties when I came of age, for me to see music as a linear progression. In my early twenties I would compose pieces that I thought of as new jazz. Of course they weren't. Just very individual songs in older styles with some ideas for other styles. A dash of Duke Ellington arraignment, a snippet of Monk perhaps a teaspoon of Syd Barrett mixed with some rock and roll harmony. Eventually, after a long pause in playing at all, I came to make music, I see as, more in line with the pop artists like Warhol and, especially Lichtenstein. My own musical ideas are still there but slyly inserted into pieces that are consciously, imprecisely, modeled on other works or styles. Anyway I went to see the new version of West Side Story with my wife the other day. The original show made right before that "pop" era. It was so sincere. No irony with an honest attempt to bring musical theater "forward". I so enjoyed it even if it's a bit middle brow Americana. I'm writing this description in hopes of being equally sincere. The melody borrows a bit of "Somewhere" as a tip of the hat. I hope. My big musical ideas, besides that, are as follows. The key may sound a bit vague at times but floats between B major, E major and A major so that classic one four five, if somewhat buried. the time signature changes a few times, briefly, and syncopates when it doesn't. There's the Syd Barrett influence for those keeping score. There's also some willful changes from major to minor in the harmony that are classic rock ideas. Even if, in this context, they eventually become key changes. Well that's enough sincerity. Oh except for the photo. It's Miss Place. My wife maiden name and me back when I would have written something like this. ;)

Miss Place

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

It was an honor and a pleasure to sing to the sound of a delightful composition by two wonderful artists such as Debra Buesking(@debra_buesking) on piano and David Dunham(@david-dunhamuser589535203) on guitar. Thanks for this priceless opportunity.
Below the Italian / English lyric

Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico 
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo 
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi 
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato 
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
 per non lasciarti più
………………..
Dimmi dove sei 


Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
  not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Tell me where you are

"Easy to Please" Debra Buesking and David Dunham (vocal version)

In January this year, we lost the great musician and drummer of YMO, Yukihiro Takahashi. As if following him, last month, Ryuichi Sakamoto also passed away. Having lost two respected musicians, I find myself without emotional support and have been creating music daily, tracing their music and lives. Unconsciously, the songs I create are heavily influenced by their music. This song is one of them. When I listen to the finished piece, I feel it somewhat resembles YMO's "Expecting Rivers." These days, I find "HOPE" in the Milky Way, the heavenly river that spans the sky.

Zed Is Dead

Las flores que crecen en mi alma
No son más que símbolos de
La esperanza

He envuelto destellos de emociones
Como trenzas de luz
Atravesando mis canciones
Mientras te veía crecer
Lejos de la tierra que te vio nacer

Supimos fragmentar el aire
Para así, no dejarnos colgados
Lado a lado a los sentimientos
No cauterizados
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber
Las vivencias que empezaron
Con nuestra falta de saber

Respira hondo
Que ahora podemos
Duérmete una noche entera
Que el mañana no existe
Leonardo
Leonardo

Ya voy ya voy
Y te salvo
Si pudiera
En este mismo momento
Iría ya de un salto

Leonardo

TRANSLATION:

The flowers that grow within my soul
Are nothing but symbols of hope

I’ve wrapped glints of emotions
Like braids of light
Through my songs
While I saw you grow 
Far from the land
That saw you be born

We knew to fragment the air
So as to not leave us hanging
Side by side to feelings
Not cauterized
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing
The experiences that began
With our lack of knowing

Breathe deeply
Because now we can
Sleep an entire night
Because tomorrow does not exist

Leonardo
Leonardo

I’ll go, I’ll go
And I’ll save you
If I could
In this very moment
I’d take a leap and be there
