The vocal and backing track fit like a glove, I agree with David, it's go that 60's NYC Velvet Underground vibe about it. Great stuff 👌😁

Great track and collab, fantastic presentation!!!

A phone call, and your world is turned on its head. No heartfelt goodbye. This is a song about the losses that come without warning.

Cried a lot today
When she called to say
Feels like the end has come
Can we start again?
Travel back in time.
Never said a word
About the things you’d heard
If only you’d told us all.
Oh, now we say good-bye
Forever asking why.
Will I see you again?
Or is it the end?
Will you open
Your eyes to the sun?
Remember when we smiled
A look just like a child
A gift that you gave to me
Oh. Now I look instead
Across the lonely day
~
Can I come see you sometime
Nowhere I know?
To stay and talk about the time we had
Nah, nah, nah.
	~
A wave came crashing down
In tears of spray we drowned
The words that were left unsaid.
Oh. I guess it’s too late now
I’ll say it anyhow.
That I love you
I love you
That I miss you
I miss you
Will I see you again? 
Or is it the end?
Will you open 
Your eyes to the son?

Will I See You Again

Having a little fun with my new Nord Stage 3 - all sounds except the percussion are native to the Stage 3 (synth and organ engine). No sequencers were used, but I did enjoy using the pitch stick.

Thinking a bit about a Black Swan event as I produced this, the 1st half representing life as usual, the event as a synth "solo" and the altered reality afterwards. Towards the end I was inspired somewhat by the soundtrack to Dunkirk as the planes harass the troops on the beach and I have to admit that Vangelis Chariots of Fire was on my mind throughout the track although I skipped adding any piano.

A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight. [according to Wikipedia]

I have allways been fascinated by the similar basic groove in traditional folk music from all over europe and even beyond. Its like we can sense the blood pumping in our common veins whether we have roots in Norway,Idaho or Ukraine.
I have tried to capture some of that with my digital composing tools to create this little piece of Folktronica titled BONFIRE NIGHTS.

Pole Shift

The earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds are broken
Poison all around

Nowhere else to go
Everywhere the same
There’s no time at all
where we find ourselves

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Swallowing the hook
we consume the bait
Can’t agree at all
Save the need for change

Divided in our minds
Can’t tell love from hate
Then before we know
It may be too late

Blind with mental plays
walk into the blaze
Cannot see what’s here
in front of our face

Earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Earth shakes below
lightening flash above
Hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Seeing in real time
Following the way
Having seen what’s real
Only truth will stay

Lightly holding on
As the poles turn round
peaceful through it all
as the world falls down

Pole Shift (River Dolphins & Cosmic Keanu)

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

LYRICS:
London Town is a place to see
That's what I've been told 
Maybe I should go 
Before I get too old
Look through the gates of the Palace
Or even … number 10
Stroll down by the river Thames
And look up at Big Ben

Or..... I could sit here in the sunshine 
Upon my garden swing
Maybe write a song 
For somebody to sing
Just sit back, relax
And watch my worries disappear
The more I think it through
I like……. just being here

I could walk along the South Bank
Visit a gallery
Go down to the Tower
Take in all that history
Maybe a museum
See a dinosaur or two
Then go up a tall glass building
And just take in the view

Or..... I could sit here in the sunshine 
Upon my garden swing
Maybe write a song 
For somebody to sing
And when the evening comes
Just drink an ice cold beer
The more I think it through
I like……. just being here

Just Being Here

Be excellent to each other!
