Excellent!! Love the song and the way it sounds! <3

You still sound great on AM radio brother!!🙏🏻

it doesn't matter what the kids play
the music they say is rhyme and rhythm
well I've been thinkin' got me believin'
the ivory will have to wait

somebody turned off the rock and somebody turned on the roll

though it's a new game, the hustle's the same
they'll win you over with the shocking truth
before it's over you'll wanna go there
because the pleading, is the front page news

does anybody know why and does anybody care
how'd we get from there to here

well I've been thinkin' that the reason's gonna have to wait
something tells me when you believe it
that's all it is learn to roll

somebody turned off the rock and somebody turned on the roll

somebody turned off the rock and somebody turned on the roll

JIM ANDERS _ Ware

Second part of my father trilogy.
This song is based on a dream I had a good 20 years ago with my father, who had been dead for some time. 
I am in a dimly lit room. It's just me and somehow my father's energy body. At some point, this invisible energy body comes towards me. Then we embrace. It is a merging embrace. Something deep inside me releases and makes me cry. It's not so much a sad cry, but a liberating, soothing cry that pacifies me completely. 
Since this dream, the grudge I harboured against him for a long time has largely disappeared.     
Somehow he has been there inside me since then and I can sometimes visit him (even in dreams) when I want to talk to him.

The arrangement of the song is deliberately minimalist (just vocals, guitar and violin, hardly any effects) in order to emphasise the tremendous intimacy of the encounter between my father and me in the dream described above (there is no longer a "leaf" between us).

My Father  (Lyrics in English)

Would so like to talk to you
Break through the walls to the hereafter
Meet you in a moon cafe
On chairs that stand here and there

You died before the Berlin Wall came down
My son was born on the day you died
Never saw my beautiful wife
Although you had aimed 
For a hundred years of life

You only reached half of it
Life was rarely really easy for you

You were often too close to the stars
Underestimated the danger to your life
Had so many visions
Wanted to live in castles in the air

Then you were all there again
So clairvoyant, wise and clear

Would love to have you with me now
My father, I would love to have you here now 

The dividing wall to you is now open
I haven't met you for so long
You're waiting for me in the moon cafe
I see you in the soft twilight

I want to tell you so many things
What happened after you left
You still wanted to experience it all
Your early death did not grant you that

You were so torn, the demons, they tore at you
You loved the rush, had little sense of yourself

And yet you were in deep distress
My ever-protecting boat
My steadying hand
The lighthouse in my land of chaos

You gave up the shirt off your back
That ultimately cost you your life

Would love to have you with me now
My father, I wish you were here now


Mein Vater (Deutscher Originaltext)

Möchte so gern mit Dir sprechen
Die Mauern zum Jenseits durchbrechen
Dich in einem Mond-Cafe` treffen
Auf Stühlen, die hier und dort stehen

Vor dem (Berliner) Mauerfall bist Du gestorben
An Deinem Todestag wurde mein Sohn geboren
Hast meine schöne Frau niemals erlebt
Dabei hattest Du 
Hundert Jahre Leben angestrebt

Hast grad‘ mal gut die Hälfte davon erreicht
Das Leben war für Dich selten wirklich leicht

Warst oft den Sternen zu nah
Unterschätztest die Lebensgefahr
Hattest so viele Visionen
Wolltest in Luftschlössern wohnen

Dann warst Du wieder ganz da
So hellsichtig, weise und klar

Hätt‘ Dich so gern jetzt bei mir
Mein Vater, hätt‘ Dich jetzt gern hier 

Die Trennwand zu Dir steht jetzt offen
So lange hab‘ ich Dich nicht getroffen
Du wartest im Mond-Cafe‘ auf mich
Ich seh‘ Dich im zarten Dämmerlicht

Ich will Dir so vieles erzählen
Was so geschah nach Deinem Fortgehen
Du wolltest das alles noch erleben
Dein früher Tod hat Dir das nicht vergönnt

Warst so zerrissen, die Dämonen, sie zerrten an Dir
Liebtest den Rausch, hattest für Dich wenig Feingespür

Und dennoch warst Du in tiefer Not
Mein stets mich schützendes Boot
Meine mir haltgebende Hand
Der Leuchtturm in meinem Chaos-Land

Hast Dein letztes Hemd hergegeben
Das kostete Dich letztlich Dein Leben

Hätt‘ Dich so gern jetzt bei mir
Mein Vater, hätt‘ Dich jetzt gern hier

Mein Vater (My Father)

... "I went with my gut feeling until I had the feeling that I couldn't contribute any more." ~ Andreas Winterer ...

"Having pasted that just above this explanation of My process for this week's Junto project, I state that that was My mantra in composing My part -- about 5 or 6 notes on a KORG DW8000 synth. I recorded My part once, and then edited it with various intensities of extensive time compression techniques over a period of 4 hours, until I was pleased, and felt that My contribution was no more than a simple whisper within this piece that My collaborators had recorded."

"Eye of Thought"

Dropping from the eye of thought,
a conciouss reality that was never born,
holding all this life in my hands,
i thought it was better to show them to dance,

Taking down this trip in the slope,
what you had known was always been told,
looking for someone to rest,
the thoughts in your head that were never blessed,

dropping from the eye of thought.....

Eye of Thought (Lyrics on Description)

I took the time to write SC about the new "Want to reach more listeners...offer expires in...." attached to new songs we post.
I think most of us learn pretty early in our SC experience that if we take time and care in listening to music and offer positive, heartfelt feedback, that having listeners kind of takes care of itself. In a world where it seems most everything is for sale, it's nice to have a little authenticity.
I like and appreciate a lot of elements of the SC format and prefer it to others I've seen.
For me, this new pitch cheapens the look and feel.
I encourage you to let them know how you feel.
