Giving And Taking
------Cloud Stepping
(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all 
the few we have can nearly fit---NOT barely
the few we have can nearly fit

(Verse1)
If we knew it all, and all
Then nothing would matter
It’s all a puzzle to be solved
We have always been the answer
The plan of god without reward
Evolves in different ways
We are all awake in different dreams
To let the devil play

(Verse2)
Who amongst us hear the screams
Of millions of lives lost, 
and don’t look on it as savagery
And wonder what’s the cost
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost
Are we listening or not
Are we listening or not

__________________________________________________________

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

Just a dream

I loved my mother's name who died in 1992. Also, I love the oceans green blue colors!

My Endorphins Are Smilin' How 'Bout You? (A Love Song-sorta!)

In the early days of the year, my daughter Romane and I have decided to take up the challenge to compose and realize a song together. Here is the result. Isn’t it awesome? 
For her it was mainly the first time singing for a recording. She has no particular skill to do that and she has never taken singing lessons. However, she rose to the challenge with a whole lotta pleasure and love. …you can almost see her smile and laugh when you hear her sing...   
For me it was the very first-time recording vocals. I would like to warmly thank Goff Johnson for his advices about vocals processing/editing (he’s the guy with whom I’ve already delighted to collaborate for “Seems Like It”). I also thank him for his performance of the hamond organ and the ending piano, and for the intro/chorus synth thema. 
I wish you to have a blast listening to the song.

-THE WORLD IS MINE-
1st verse:
Today, the morning sunshine lights my nest
My heart is pounding so loud in my chest
I take the blue sky, I rise up, go for the journey
Can’t stand the slowness. Here we go! Here’s the odyssey
Pre-chorus:
Always trusting my sense, never running around
Looking for the raw gem waiting to be found
1st Chorus:
I’m gonna grab it, I’ll seize it, the world o’mine
Over the hills, ‘cross the seas, the sun will shine
I’ll grab it, I’ll take it, I’ll see the light
I go ahead against the odds, in life I bite
I’ll take it, I’ll grip it, the world is mine
Over the hills, through the plains, the sun will shine
Won't sit around as the world goes by
I never get enough, I kiss sweet home goodbye
2nd verse:
Unchained, I run through the lands straight ahead
Trust me, I’ll catch all the stars tread by tread
Shadows sway around, tears and fears, but I see my lights
I dance with the wind, facing foes in the wide dark nights
Pre-chorus:
Always trusting my sense, never running around
Looking for the raw gem waiting to be found
2nd Chorus:
I’m gonna grab it, I’ll seize it, the world o’mine
Over the hills, ‘cross the seas, the sun will shine
I’ll grab it, I’ll take it, I’ll see the light
I go ahead against the odds, in life I bite
I’ll take it, I’ll grip it, the world is mine
Over the hills, through the plains, the sun will shine
Won't sit around as the world goes by
I never get enough, I kiss my mom goodbye
