A little song I wrote back in September of 2023. Inspired by a beauty, who made me think of the Proverbs 31 woman. She brought this song to life, and pretty neat that her birthstone was a ruby. I even bought her a pair of ruby colored shoes. This song will always be very special. It's amazing how those little moments can hit and unexpectedly ignite a song late at night. I love those moments, cause that's what I strive to always remember. She took that picture of me on the Steinway. I hope you enjoy this live recording I did very late last night. Thanks so much for listening:) 

Ruby

I was so lonely
Thank God I found
The perfect girl
Oh in such
A dark world
She's more precious
Than the rarest ruby
In all of the world
Oh how she loves me
She's my world

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

And I've never been so happy
She's my favorite sound
Through all my nights and days
I love to hear
The way she prays
She's more precious
Than the rarest ruby
In all of the world
She holds the key
To another world

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

And she's more precious
Than the rarest ruby 
In all of the world
I'm never letting her go

Ruby (Original song live)

File Updated: 13/04/25 @ 02:51 GMT ~ Added piano - bass guitar, acoustic guitar picked and melody vocal line on top of spoken line that was there

Try - 148 bpm... consider up tempo extension with chorus  guitar 


"me" refers to you yourself discovering 

1.618 seconds between each reverse effected beat. It's actually just a pitch less bass slap 100% reverse effected and then re reversed to forward in DAW. But retained the flavour of reverse being 100% effected from the start


Lyrics
Let "me" be your guide
Stream spiritual insight
There's a shape shifting prize
Where your will shakes the show to shine

Tease tuned tonal Toltec dream
To please this whole reality
We are not afraid
We have it now and everyday
Limitless self
One deeper way

Mesoamerican mind
Bending space and time
Universal fabric
Where intention fabric wind

Our spirit was moulded to know
Aside good Gulf of Mexico
Where names forever mean
Dinnseanchas from real
Like all water forever know
Good GULF OF MEXICO 🕺🏽

Good Gulf of Mexico...
We all know


Incase I've made you all serious....

Trump's desperate move to try and rename the Gulf of Mexico shows how weak he is. He shows how badly a mind can be poisoned when it blocks out their spirit. Whatever you believe about what he's doing/trying to do/has,hasn't done... He's a racist c*nt and that's a fact ... and the only way he's not is worse .. He plays on racist stereotypes and xenophobic poison within American culture and amplifies and nourishes it (🟧Scumbag {sorry orange square}) Both scenarios mean DT will always find history books as the divider he IS... His ancestors destroyed most of the culture that brought the wisdom this song discusses to light. So he ain't ever changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico as long as I'm alive. Not in my world anyways. If only the world reacted to his monopoly game with real money like they did to this attempted name change. We could accelerate the inevitable decline of this poison if we did put it up to them... I know that would mean a temporary pain and shift for all of us but we would come out the other side a better less greedy humanity.

It does paint very very nakedly how insular the people that celebrate that change of name without a very very bad taste in their mouths. Not a care in the world for anyone else but themselves. They urinate themselves all over the world "thinking" they are the pinnicle of civilisation. Well the smell is getting a bit rancid for everyone else and soon they won't be able to bare it either. Headline humans dumbing themselves down to oblivion. They'll burn away soon. Change is coming for the greater good 🍿

Hey! I'm colter. Thanks for stopping by! All recordings done on my old Baldwin piano that my amazingly talented grandmother gave me.  I'd like to think it holds some magic. All original songs, recorded live. I took a few years of classical lessons when I was very young, great memories, especially the snacks! 

Throughout the years I'd always tinker on my Mom's old Ludwig piano through passing, playing songs I had learned, like Fur Elise and The Spinning Song, but it wasn't till I was in college when it became an addiction. I was inspired after coming across the song "I Am For You" by Waking Ashland. Lead singer/piano player Jonathan Jones. There was an old upright in the student center that I'd sneak off to late at night, and ever since then the playing has never stopped. I was hooked. What a therapy it has been over the years. 

God is good! I'm so thankful. I hope to connect with many and make new friends:) 

Always do what you love! I have such respect for all the talented music on here! Thanks so much for listening!:) 

No Ai whatsoever, just my voice and piano, playing and singing simutaneously.
