A clever lyrical concept CW. I love words that could mean different things to different folk. Much enjoyed the listen.

Like your rhyming pattern - some work went into that

it takes a lot of living and insight to be able to write a tune like this CW!  that organ evokes the mood perfectly

The synth is effective‼️ Great work‼️

enjoyed this very much on VoWR last night, and having another listen - very smart lyrics

Your Mix 2

Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background.
"Like A Rock"
Bog Seger 
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow-straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock
Standin' arrow-straight
Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock
Carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock
Hard against the wind
Like a rock
I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock!

SOMEONE is Released now

Last Night You took me home to you
You said you just need some one to hold you 
We both knew what we needed tonight
Our souls are fused in the moonlight
sometimes you need someone to hold you 
someone to heal your pain
someone who can explain
someone to break your chain

Someone

The Greatest

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

We knew in part at one time,
now the partial is done away
One time I saw in a mirror, dimly,
now we are face to face

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong,
fit for none

If I knew every truth
and have the faith to move mountains,
without love,
in the end,
it all amounts to nothing

[chorus]

If I give away all I possess,
and have the courage to face death,
If I don’t have love
in my understanding,
all the profits 
amount to nothing

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

The Greatest (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

Let Me Hear About You In Ambience

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

LYRIC
I’m a foolish mortal
Standing at the portal
Of a heavenly night with you
You’re the rarest creature
Fine in every feature
Divine is a word that would do
In your description
But may I mention
I’m not as dumb as I may seem
I’m a foolish mortal
But I know this is a dream

This mortal fool here
Dropped out of school, dear
The hard knocks came too fast
Now my days I squander
As I roam and wander
Trying to escape my past
Wave if you see me
You wouldn’t want to be me
Nor would anyone else
I’m a foolish mortal
But I know this much about myself

I’m a simple guy
With simple tastes
And I don’t expect a lot 
At the end we all share similar fates
If you’ve figured out the plot 
We all rot!

I’m a foolish mortal
Good for a chortle
To gods and goddesses
That’s what we’re worth, friends
As our earth spins
And what a mess this is
Clowns and jesters
Crocodile wrestlers
Oh! we put on a show
But I’m just a foolish mortal
Good for a chortle 
Yeah a foolish mortal 
So… 
What do I know?

Foolish Mortal

Lyrics

Forget that anything's wrong.
I find it hard to do, without you everything's gone. 
Try to pull myself back together.
But still I'm clouded by stormy weather.
Time won't make anything right.
I wish that I could hold you, hold you so tight.
The world can be so cold, but we knew that.
I'd trade my life for yours, if I could do that.

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Please momma please don't cry.
Give me one last kiss and hug me goodbye.
It'll be ok, I'm going to a better place.
With ladybugs and purple flowers everywhere.
I cant wait to see your face.
You've got to be strong, you're right where you belong. 
The clock will run out someday, and then with me you'll stay. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday.
