My Song is Love Unknown

and on the morrow .. another beautiful day of eternal nows .... we don't move forwards or backwards .. We are .. The chaos that surrounds us is fleeting and passing ... Impermanent and looking to align ... We are so us ...

We  sometimes  feel  sad, we  may  feel  blue                                                              
The  troubles  in  life  can  be  many  or  few
A  winding  road  soon  straightens  out,
So  trust  in  God  to  help  you  out                              

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us, whatever  we  do

We  pray  for  peace, in  a  world  of  strife                                                            
We  hope  for  a  long  and  fulfilling  life
Working  together  makes  good  sense,
So  trust  in  God  to  give  you inner  strength

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do
                              
The  gift  of  life, is  a  priceless  gem                                                               
Given  by  the  Lord  to  all  women  and  men
We  should  make  the  most  of  our  time  on  Earth,
And  trust  in  God,  to  realise  our  worth

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do

One Breath

Just a little roar,
Climbing through the floor,
Just the hollow trains
Crawling through these veins

When there's not much to hold your mind,
You can be sure I will find

Your miracle
Your miracle
Your miracle
Your miracle

Parted lips of cloud,
Beauty unavowed,
Smiled across the blue
For the good of you

We're just one breath from giving in
Exchanging 'is' for 'could have been'

Your miracle . . . 

These twisted branches held within:
The perfect place for birds to sing

One Breath (Classical Glass and Nic Evennett)

The Netherland's incredible Rients Draissma tears up our blues rock original Change It Up.   He's simply one of the finest guitar players we've heard, pushing sound, rhythm and harmony.   Check out Rients' superb jazz-rock fusion guitar and arrangements:  http://www.rientsdraaisma.com - his latest album Guitales is simply burning http://www.rientsdraaisma.com/shop-guitales/, and follows up on so many Tribal Tech and Weather Report influenced compositions:  https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma.  Also check out his iJam album, of heavy fusion burners.
I've been fortunate to have recorded a number of tunes with Rients, among some of my favorites here on SoundCloud. 

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Glad to present a new collab with the exceptional https://soundcloud.com/muterial

The ambiance of https://soundcloud.com/muterial/chroma is incredible and it inspired me the below lyrics! Enjoy!

Blind, I'm blind
I can't see your colors
cauz I'm blind
But I can feel that you're bright
I can't see but I can feel
your warm being

But in the darkness the colors have a smell
the black of darkness colors my hell
but I can feel your warm being
by my side heating up with a light
a light full of colors

Black is all I know
I sometimes see a light
I sometimes feel a light
a colorful light

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

I Should've Known

Most of this piece was recorded in 2016 but I abandoned it until I decided to clean my computer files up recently. I added the vocals and a few horn samples to "finish" it off.
It's "sister" piece which takes the same bass loops, speeds them up and takes it all to a very different place can be listened to here:

They Dug Everything Out Of The Earth

“A painter paints pictures on canvas but musicians paint their pictures on silence.” -  Leopold Stokowski

A member of Cellar Door which you can find here: https://soundcloud.com/cdoor

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
