haha, i like your timbral palette on your songs so far.

excellent whimsy... perhaps some intentional "timing issues here" which add more of a realness to the compisition

Another sunny, quirky and original tune. Great chorus and love the handclap ending! I can relate to the theme too, (being an incipient septuagenarian).

We folk of a certain age often find it hard to avoid cynicism. A very pointed piece on the subject CW.

your songwriting has an unique touch, I enjoy your chord structures and melody lines

I agree with "guittim", you have some very unique, catchy, and brilliant structures to your songs. Excellent song writing CW! I already mentioned it, but some of your styling reminds me of one of my fav bands. ;)

Beautiful lyrics, we'll be back, I promise. 💚💚💚

High As You Can Go

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

Stairway To Chillout (Utopians) Re Release

In the play "El cóndor pasa", Frank is a character born in an indigenous family, but with blonde hair like the foreigners that exploit him and his peers, a detail that deeply troubles him. In some way, he represents the people of my country, all of us descendants of colonizers and colonized. A shared history of suffering, that's what connect us, and yet, we keep finding ways to discriminate, segregate, despise, humiliate, ignore, kill, and hate on each other.

†ॐ

Composición basada en el "Yaraví de Frank (Pobre alma prisionera)" perteneciente a la zarzuela "El cóndor pasa", del compositor peruano, Daniel Alomía Robles (1887-1940).

(ever too late to shine )    



Now she lives among the stars
                                          
and the night is too dark without her
         
all the light from then till now
                                          
hasn’t found its way back to her

*



I had no heart to hear

all the bells that call on Sunday

just like a waterfall

they’ll stop falling someday

*


refrain:

       
Is it ever too late to shine

ever too late to shine
         
my love


     
Is it ever too late to shine
                      
ever too late to find
      
my love

*


I see her in a crowd 

I see her in the mirror

Her face is like a shroud

as my own grows dimmer 

*


If you find yourself a star

don't lose it in the wishin' 

you're still while it moves far

far beyond your vision

*

LYRIC

In happier days
I can’t remember when
But happier days
Than those we’re living in
You could enjoy the delusion 
Progress would bless our lives

Now here we are
Bitten by the bytes
And all of this awfulness thrives
 
A man of my years' seen things
He knows what tomorrow brings
Is another today
To piddle away
And though disillusion stings
A man of my years still sings his heart out

My last birthday wish
I asked to be ignored
But granting me this
The world could not afford
It had to be firing off rockets
Singing a children’s song off key
You see
A man of my years is done
Pretending he’s having fun 
If he feels it he laughs
If not he asks
Would it bother anyone 
If a man of my years should run and hide
While a shred of pride remains 

A slice of cake I’ll handle
Please don’t light that candle
My age in the icing
Is that meant to be a nice thing?
You tell me to blow now
But I will not
I have got to go now

I promise you this
I’ll make no promises
You’ll say I just did
But that’s not what this is
I’m merely aware of my standing
I’ve got to get off my feet

There’s kids on the lawn
I could shout at them
Instead I just yawn and repeat

A man of my years sits back
with a cold drink and salty snack
His work is long done
He’s had enough fun
Now he wants to relax
After laughter and tears
All the hurrahs and jeers
I’m a man of my years!

Tell me Tell me Tell me

SK 

O simple one, learn some prudence
O fool, learn some sense

Wisdom cries
from her lips,
comes what's right
Noble things,
she says in vain


O simple one, do you hear me?
O fool, do you pretend?

up on high,
i raise my voice
up to the sky
all that live
can you hear my cry?


Wisdom's call
Does not understanding raise her voice
From her mouth she speaks to you,
I speak only truth

To you, O men, I call


O simple one learn some prudence
O fool learn some sense

Wisdom cries from her lips,
comes what is right
Noble things,
she says in vain

Wisdom's call

Does not understanding raise her voice

From her mouth she speaks to you,
I speak only truth

Simple One

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  "Darq Bleu/Change Hue" is my first collaboration with anyone other than my brother. I took about half of the Crawling Vines (Jack Holston) song "Darq Bleu" and added a chorus. Came out pretty well! Then "The Dreams I Dream" joins 8 other tracks in Sexagenarian Vol V. Volumes IV  III, and II follow. Sexagenarian Vol 1 is somewhere around here as well! 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
