Wow. We can even hear the rain (or wind?) in the recording. What a lovely tune.

inspiration it's said will find you down the line - good line! The minimal lyric has such impact in this stark arrangment

Lovely piece of music. Puts me in a very calm and contemplative state. Lovely work. :)

this is beautiful, transcendent musical meanderings

Wow. Reaches out immediately and puts me there. Sweet creativity on this track. Durge

Looking out of the window, morning mist is promising a silent day.

Morning Mist (comp. & perf. michael spielmann)

Some time ago John Baker (@ldchool) sent me this great backing track he created and asked me to play a lead break on it. After I did we recognized that this track strongly deserves vocals. So I sat down and searched for some words to get some lyrics together and thought of a melody to sing. Then asked my friend Marcus to come over and sing. We all are very satisfied with the result. Thanks to John's mixing skills and Marcus' voice it turned out quite nice.

Let The Good Times Roll

I always love it when my good friend and bandmate Pat Howell sends me his latest mandolin musing, this time with his Octave.  His musing becomes my "muse" and the ideas start to flow, this time using two mandolins and two guitars.  Just in time for Fall, and maybe my favorite season, a refreshing breeze from the Texas Highlands.  Hear more fine music on Pat's Cloud @patrick-howell-786748109

ephemeral

An imaginary theme to an old imaginary show.

Firefly

don't wake me up from dreamin'
the road so long to find
the direction of to and fro
there's no reason and no rhyme

inspiration it's said
will find you down the line

i don't recall where we're supposed to be next year
and i can't see it clearly from there to here

to and fro

Something more traditional/folksy I've been chipping away at for a bit, struggling to flesh it out with more instrumentation. However, the more I listen to its currently bare-cupboard, acoustic vocals+piano arrangement, maybe it's simply *meant* to remain rough and rudimentary?

So please pay no attention to the little finger flubs here and there, and just let yourself get washed over by the orange waves of the Northumberland Strait, where I grew up and where my childish heart still beats.

***

Orange waves crash then go
Stealing sand with its ebb and flow
Holes dotting cliffsides' red clay
Where the swallows sleeping lay

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

Island smiles from across the way
Thin dark line splits Strait and sky
It flickers ghostly, hovers fey
Once Ile Saint-Jean, now PEI

Each flat stone we throw from the beach
With dreams to skip, perhaps to fly
All doomed to sink, the island never reached
Drowning jealous of the driftwood swimming by

As full moon flirts with blushing tide
Salt waters sink and sandbars swell
Before they change their minds and hide
I take their path to Mount Carmel

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
Trois-Ruisseaux

街の灯 / city lights

その美しい曲線は　夜陰にまぎれて
照らすもののない隙間から　こっちを視ている

あたかも本当の風に　吹かれてるようだ
抜け道のはるか向こうへ　翔べるなら　堕ちるなんて遊び



背を向けられた路地裏は　一見静かで
照らすもののない街灯は　青白くなった

歩き去るならあまりにも　都合のよすぎる
抜け道のはるか向こうへ　夜の岸辺の　散歩でも



打ち棄てられた言の葉は　一見無口で
照らすもののない存在なんて　考えたくもない

あたかも本当の君を　視ているみたいだ
堕ちた砂粒の軌跡　その光を　見逃してしまった



その美しい曲線は　夜陰にまぎれて
照らすもののない空間で　夜明けを待ってる

あたかも本当の君に　触れているようだ
抜け道のはるか向こうへ　翔べるなら　堕ちるなんて遊び

to and fro
