LYRICS:

In all my travels
Through this world
Things I've seen 
With my own eyes
What is ever
As it seems
How much of it all ...... is lies

My eyes are open
But do I see
My ears are listening
But do I hear
My body senses 
But do I feel
How will time change
What now seems real

We never got to say goodbye
But one thing that I know
You are in my head and heart
No matter where I go

Look to the heavens 
A burning star
Seems so near
And yet so far
At the dawn 
Of another day
A new horizon
Shows the way

We never got to say goodbye
But one thing that I know
You are in my head and heart
No matter where I go

Some Day Soon

With My Own Eyes

When I first heard Wildsilences' original track, I immediately fell in love with it and knew I wanted to do something with it. 
I didn't really know what but when I was playing around with it I felt that I should stay close to the original and just add a little reverb and some atmospherical elements, as well as the piano/strings ending. 

You can find the original track here:

Special thanks to my friend Alain for the beautiful photo of Crete and "title" song.
This photo inspired me with this unidentified musical object.
It's also one of my favorite dishes, the octopus salad with garlic, parsley, olive oil and of course a squeeze of lemon.

- OctoBlues -   (Octopus groove)

I embrace you with my long arms,
with sprawling love,
I won't let go, my white dove,
until to slam my beak warm,

this time i am the hunter,
before you crucify me in the sun
I know about you, it's fun,
my pulpit is more tender,

sprawling love,
sprawling love,
sprawling love...

Stay

Song about looking ahead and not dwelling in the past. Change your ways and ask for forgiveness if necessary. Anna and Ari Rader perform the vocals and https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx plays tenor saxophone. Dave: lyrics, synths and producer.  YouTube: https://youtu.be/kveJ8BeegTM
LYRICS
Verse1
You can’t go back.
There’s no time machine.
Those days are gone.

Yesterday’s problems, water
Over the dam.
Let them drift along.

Verse2
Looking back,
We could stumble,
And not see,
The good things ahead.

Keep the darkness,
Behind us,
And follow the light instead

Chorus
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Let’s change our ways.

Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Can’t go back.
You can’t go back.
Forgive me today.

Verse3
Grew up in a small town,
That changed in many ways.
Parents, neighbors, and friends,
Moved or passed away.

Verse4
You can’t go back.
Life moves too fast.
Let it run its course.

Can’t undo the past.
It’s set in stone.
Forgive. Have no remorse.

Poem: by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)
All hushed and still within the house;
Without – all wind and driving rain;
But something whispers to my mind,
Through rain and through the wailing wind,
Never again.
Never again? Why not again?
Memory has power as real as thine

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

All Hushed and still within the house. Classical Glass and Oddrun Eikli.

Singer and composer Blossom Deary always makes me smile.
There are so many things to worry about, but here is a musically hopeful smile in November darkness.
Inspired by Blossom :)
Margrethe Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist.

When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
Though now I'm much more grown up
I fear that I must own up
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
What the modern cynics shout of

They say it's spring
This feeling light as a feather
They say this thing
This magic we share together
Came with the weather too

They say it's May
That's made me daft as a daisy
It's May, they say
That gave the whole world this crazy
Heavenly, hazy hue
I'm a lark On the wing
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
Yet to me
This must be
Something more than a seasonal thing

Could it be spring
Those bells that I can hear ringing
It may be spring
But when the robins stop singing
You're what I'm clinging to
Though they say it's spring It's you

If poets sing
That when a hard sympathetic
It's merely spring
Then poets plights are pathetic
Though I'm poetic too T

hey say it's spring
For lovers, there's where the lure is
That evil thing
For which September the cure is
This, they are sure is true
Though I know
That it's so
That my fancy may turn in the spring
With the right One in sight
One can find a perpetual thing

Did I need spring
To bring the ring that you bought me
Though it was spring
That wondrous day that you caught me
Darling I thought we knew
That it wasn't spring 'Twas you

They Say Its Spring. Aleck Rand and Oddrun Eikli

Into The Void

I have a lot of faith that people can be strong enough to recognize where they have done (or are doing) harm and make sincere amends. I also believe that people have the power to heal and forgive wrong doings. It takes great strength to walk together through the fire of our pains and come out the other end holding hands, recognizing and honoring our differences while acknowledging and celebrating our similarities.  

May everyone get a chance to break bread together, enjoy some wine, and share some laughs. 

Thanks again to Calebass, Jon, and Janine for joining me together on a 3rd track. We make a great team! It was really fantastic to have Chris O and Belial Pelegrim finally join a track on my page. Chris O and Belial are two SoundCloud legends in my opinion. I am so grateful to be making music with all my favorite people. If only I had more time to make music with all of my favorites on the cloud. Who knows, maybe I do!

And massive thanks to Russ and the Chaos Cookhouse for baking my bread in their oven once again. If it wasn’t for them, I would only be serving balls of dough.

Lyrics:

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I feel it’s heading my way
Yes, a rising hurricane, heading my way
A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel it’s blowing this way

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

It’s heading my way

You better blow that away

We hunkered down for the storm breaks 
Sat by the heath till our bones ached
Kept those embers burning for what’s at stake 
Canned those apples for a future bake 
When we can walk across the street 
And give a hand shake 
To our neighbors where the wind don’t take 
A life’s time just to make up for
Past time’s big mistakes  

Well rise-up hurricane and blow out the old
Trade them for a mighty dawn

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

Push aside the night shades to break a deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

Even though things still ain’t right
We got deep history still within sight
And at times things can be downright 
Enough to incite our outright 
Deepest ugliest version of contrite 
I still cling tight 
To that hope for that bright light 
That one day things will be made right 
But it ain’t gonna be if we just hang tight 
Word 

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel, it’s a-heading our way
Push aside the night shades
Break another deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn
