Weather here was warm, sunny, tomorrow will be gloomy and stormy. Thanks for playing this fabulous tune for us Christian!

Love these layers and fills! lovely instruments filling the perfect spaces- terrific mix!

Lovely pace and melodies. Liking the intimate atmosphere

Man what a bounce this gave me....not only a fun song, but perfect the way you introduce the various instruments in just the right places.  You write good stuff man.

Here's a version I'm sure you never heard before.

Lyrics
------

Ne t'approche pas trop près de moi
(les dramas c'est pas pour moi)
Je n'aime pas
Je n'aime pas être entourée
par tous ces gens bien intentionnés
qui cherchent à me corriger
me conformer à leurs normes
modifier ma vraie forme
(j'essaie de m'échapper, mais je me fais toujours rattrapper)
les vieux réflexes me laissent perplexe

La vérité c'est que j'aime être entourée
par des gens apaisés
sans combats de guerriers
non je peux plus digérer (gérer)
cette atmosphère de guerre
constante
idiote compétition
envahissante
incessante et persistante
Ne t'approche pas de moi
pour initier un combat
non je ne veux pas
que mon temps serve à ça
fatiguée de lutter
il y'en a si peu
il est si précieux
dépitée de gaspiller

rien ne sert de faire un drame
inutile est ce vacarme
l'expérience est faite
même si c'est une défaite
rien ne sert d'abimer le passé
inutile de vouloir l'effacer
juste avancer

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

Don't get too close to me
(dramas are not for me)
I don't like
I don't like being surrounded
by all these well-meaning people
who try to correct me
to conform to their standards
change my true form
(I try to escape, but I always get caught)
the old reflexes leave me confused

The truth is that I like to be surrounded
by peaceful people
without warrior fights
no I can't digest (manage)
this atmosphere of war
constant
silly competition
invasive
incessant and persistent
Do not approach me
to initiate a fight
no I don't want
my time to be used for that
tired of fighting
there's so little of it
it is so precious
sorry to be wasteful

there's no point in making a mess
it's useless to make a fuss
the experiment is done
even if it is a defeat
there is no point in damaging the past
no point in trying to erase it
just move on

Ne t'approche pas

Ne T'approche Pas (Kaerian & Laar)

Somewhere Else (Acoustic guitar instrumental)

Spielberg’s famous anti-war film, Saving Private Ryan, depicts a mission by US soldiers, led by Captain John Miller, to extract James Ryan whose three brothers were killed in battle. The mission is ordered in order to spare Ryan’s family the loss of all their sons. Ryan is saved, but the captain is killed. His dying words to Ryan are ‘earn it’. The film ends, fast forwarding many decades where Ryan, now an older man, stands at John Miller’s grave, reflecting on whether he has led a good life, whether he has lived up to Miller’s beseeching words to ‘earn it’. ‘Tell me I have led a good life’, ‘Tell me I’m a good man’, he says. It's a moving scene, reflecting an intimate internal tale, one about self-doubts and moral debts. I always liked this film, and I thought the theme of moral self-reflection and doubt – doubts about who we are, really – might form the basis for a song. 
And this is that song.

Who am I?

After doing a special feature on Ryuichi Sakamoto in tribute, I felt inspired to create another instrumental piece. From now on, I will divide my updates into two categories: Instrumentals on Wednesdays and Vocal tracks on Sundays, with two updates per week. The first Instrumental Wednesday will begin with "Transcending," a collaboration I recently introduced with mozawa_*. 
The original song is available at the following link.

I’d like to write a song for you
I could even try to write a happy one
If I force myself to
All about the good times that we shared
the laughter and the joy and the funny things we said
About all the things that just fell into place
About the birds and the bees and the blue skies and the tall trees
and flowers and the sunshine and the sound of mountain streams
I’d like to write a happy song for you

CHORUS:
If you’re looking
For somewhere to rest your head
Don’t keep fighting with yourself
Just talk about the weather instead
Because loving is easier
If we’d just make it breezier
So let’s keep it light and simple
And talk about the weather instead

I’d like to play a tune for you
I could even write a happy tune
If you want me to
You could hum it on your way to work
And whistle while you’re in the park
And play it on your old violin
A sweet happy tune that you could sing, sing, sing
to your children as they’re dreaming of the next new thing
I’d like to write a happy tune for you

CHORUS

I’d like to dedicate this song to you
I tried to make happier than I usually do
I thought you’d like me to
There’s always something new to say
the weather changes day by day
Sunshine or an arctic freeze
Or the floods or the droughts or the rising seas 
or the gutters that are blocked up with the fallen leaves

I’d like to dedicate this song to you
I tried to make it happier than I usually do
The way you want me to

CHORUS + REFRAIN

Keep it light and simple

I am playing guitar for the first time in a long time. My fingers hurt.

moats

and as the rain first christens my house
things look up as the sky pours down
streaks on the windows like tears on my cheeks 
when I fought for so long to get here for some peace
and the clouds they shelter the sun
from the darkness that I was once from
rivers in gutters and lakes in the garden
wee little moats on a Saturday morning

puddles from my door to my car
skipping them like stones thrown from the shore
and the castle behind me no drawbridge in sight
wee little moats on a Saturday night

written (10/20/25)

Take It From Me

I'm putting up new original material on my Spotify channel https://open.spotify.com/artist/2PtcG937rHfQWJwv0Zi4um?si=t1ppLngORgmuqz9qeoDOzw 
Mostly original tracks, a few covers here and there. Thank you for even getting this far. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions all welcome. It's pretty lonely out here toiling over every sound wave and grubby plugin. Any feedback is appreciated and if you've got a track you want me to hear send it over - what comes around goes around etc. A huge shout out to Len Rice for all his production suggestions on this and other tracks of mine - a true expert, check him out https://soundcloud.com/lenrice
One day I hope to get some collaborations going and a far off dream is to re awaken all these tracks in a live environment with a live band and maybe even a live audience. For now the dream keeps me going. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to use as much real instrumentation as possible: a Taylor and a Norman acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat Roadhouse that goes out of tune if I even look at it, a cheap Vintage mandolin that hurts to play and listen to, an 80 year old zither banjo that screams 'I was never destined for this' and a borrowed Aria Pro II bass that a friend can never be bothered to take home on the bus. Synths are a plasticky Roland FA06 and a fun but dumb Korg minilogue. Throw in some Native Instruments software primarily for smoochy piano and strings, a £15 melodica full of tramp spit, some harps in impossible tunings, and a box of percussion and assorted prehistoric flints (are you really still reading this??). 

All recorded on Logic Pro X on an ancient iMac that is going to explode any minute and take my entire oeuvre with it. And most likely burn the house down.

Keep it light and simple
