A new composition.....

Lyrics:

Tears of sadness are falling down
We are spinning round and round
Lost in forgotten dreams
Chasing shadows, chasing fears


The world is confused
Searching for answers 
Some wear fake smiles with a cynical view
 But the ghosts of despair linger everywhere

The laughter fades 
Where do we begin?
The weight of the silence we fear
Tears of sadness have become so clear


The sorrow is weaved into this song
The tapestry of sadness tries to belong 
The notes are breaking in shackles of pain
The chaos and confusion are dancing in the rain


In this whirlwind of madness
Sadness and heartache
 Are the eyes of this storm
The struggle together is where we belong

Tears Of Sadness (Remaster)

A new composition............

Lyrics:  

In the quiet echoes of a fading dawn
Once we danced beneath the stars
The civilization that once was
Had its chance and soon will fall


The rivers run heavy with lies
A never-ending stream of deceit
Ugliness and greed with a sinister grin
Words of kindness are buried alive


Isn’t it a pity the smallness they hold
Their hearts and minds are so cold 
Lost in the darkness of their souls
The darkness of shadows is upon them


The streets are weeping with tears
Compassion forgotten in this modern-day hell
They search for redemption in the ashes of time
But the clock just keeps on ticking


They lament for the love that once was
In the reign of chaos, they feel lost
Isn’t it a pity that humans can be so cold
The kindness of souls turned bitter and old

Lyrics:
[verse 1]
In my soul, 
a longing burned,
A dream, a passion, 
my heart yearned.
To weave words, 
to paint with my pen,
A poet's journey, 
no end.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[reprise-verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[Bridge]
Wandering, 
seeking a new muse,
Finding solace 
where nature infused.
At the edge, 
where land meets sea,
Cosmos whispers, 
inspiring me.

[verse 3]
I gazed at the stars, 
in their timeless embrace,
And realized my purpose, 
my unique place.
A single note 
in the symphony of life,
Contributing beauty, 
amid struggle and strife.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[outro]
Embrace passions, 
embrace dreams,
Dance in moonlight, 
where magic gleams.
Life's a canvas, 
awaiting art,
Dreams are whispers, 
igniting the heart.

In My Soul

Crazy, To Want to Come Back, Again!
                                                 By Lynda Faye
I should be proud.....  to be on my own.
I should be  proud.  Now I'm alone.
When I think of all you gave me...
All  the pain over time and again,  
Makes me think I'd have to be crazy, to want to listen to you again.

(Two)
Now you should be proud....to see what you've done.
You should be proud, I was hurt...means that you've won.
When I think of all the times you hurt me, saying I was to blame,
Makes me think I'd have to be crazy, to want to come back , again.

(Three)
I should be proud...now that you've gone,
Now I can carry my head up high...when you're not around.
But when you find I really gave you more, than you could ever give me..
Will you be too proud and crazy, to want to come back....to me?

(Four)
You say you realize you hurt me...and you hope I'll understand,
 You know I'd have to be crazy, to want to listen to you, again;
You know I'd have to be crazy, to want to come back...again.
I GUESS I'M KIND OF CRAZY...I'm coming back...
Again!

Crazy, to Want to Come Back, Again!

White moon

Tonight, a star fell and destroyed a town into tiny pieces.
People slipped down history and headed for the abyss.
Politicians talk about territory, and investors talk 
about profit.
The soldiers talk about their bad luck, and the citizens could say nothing more.

A white moon is visible in the southeast.
It's not often visible in the daytime, but it's there.

The basement is not a very comfortable place.
It's dark, damp and cold, but at least it's safe.
People are waiting for their doom while sipping on cold soup.
There is someone thinking about the down jacket they left at home.

A white moon is visible in the southeast.
It's not often visible in the daytime, but it's there.

A song to celebrate someone's birthday.
It's resounding with a roar.
Terrible feedback noises.

Everyone has their own goals and probably their own opinions.
But I can't understand those at all, and I'm only watching the TV news.
With the latest technology, even wars can be broadcast live.
We can enjoy it from the comfort of our own homes.

A white moon is visible in the southeast.
It's not often visible in the daytime, but it's there.

The world was supposed to be saved when a baby boy was born tonight.

white moon

Beautiful girl in the elevator, bubble gum and hair spray, then into the lobby with smell of baby powder and beer.  It’s 5:46 and there ain't no sign of the sun coming up for another hour or two, connections are strange now, people still drunk or rushing off to work, or both, lol....Theater people and suits and the sound of music, last night's noise still coming out of a dirty bar on this snowy city morning.

DANS UN AUTRE MONDE

Oui, je suis amoureux
Et j’en ai bien conscience
C’est un plaisir pour deux
Jamais gagné d’avance
Au hasard de rencontres
C’est un bien que l’on prend
Alors quand on le montre
C’est que l’on aime vraiment

Oui, je suis amoureux
Je ne voulais y croire
En pensant que pour eux
C’était une belle histoire
Je voyais pour les autres
Sans même me regarder
Et puis un jour la notre
Est venue me chercher

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Que puis-je de plus vous dire
Je suis un homme heureux
Retrouvant un sourire
L’amour çà nous repose
C’est un autre pays
La vie, c’est peu de chose
Donner c’est prendre aussi

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Un beau bonheur de l’être
Car à ce grand jeu
C’est tous les jours une fête
Il y a des gagnants
A la lot’rie du cœur
J’y croyais plus avant
C’était une grosse erreur

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

IN ANOTHER WORLD

Yes, I'm in love
And I am well aware of it
It's a pleasure for two
Never won in advance
By chance encounters
It is a good that we take
So when we show it
It’s what we really love

Yes, I'm in love
I didn't want to believe it
Thinking that for them
It was a beautiful story
I saw for others
Without even looking at me
And then one day ours
Came to pick me up

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
What more can I tell you
I am a happy man
Finding a smile again
Love rests us
It's another country
Life is little
Giving is also taking

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
A beautiful joy of being
Because in this great game
Every day is a party
There are winners
To the lottery of the heart
I believed in it more before
It was a big mistake

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

DANS UN AUTRE MONDE

Hello everyone,
this track is very special to me for several reasons. It's the first song I've composed and written. 

I am incredibly glad that I was able to work and collab with the great Sarah Paradise-Brown for this song. Her voice is fantastic and I'm delighted and honoured that she's singing the song with me.
 
Yes, with me. I like challenges and dare to take on the microphone. This is completely new territory for me, normally I just press the keys ;-)

Have fun with ‘What we still feel’

Watch the song on youtube:

"What We Still Feel"

I see you standing in the rain,
Your shadow whispers through the pain.
I told myself I’d let you go,
But my heart can’t seem to make it so.

Your voice still echoes in my chest,
A quiet song that won’t find rest.
We said goodbye, but not for real,
Some wounds take longer to heal.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I built these walls to keep you out,
But all they hold is fear and doubt.
I tell myself I’ve moved ahead,
But you still linger in my head.

I tried to fill the empty space,
But nothing takes your rightful place.
I thought our story reached its end,
But now I see it starts again.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

If I could take back every fight...
If I could hold you through the night...
(I’d find a way to make it right.
‘Cause love like this can’t just fade out of sight.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I still love you...
I always will...
A love like ours is standing still.
What we still feel is all that’s true,
And somehow, I still...  
 ...feel you.

What We Still Feel

      This song is an odd one, I was trying to write a dreamy, spacey, kind of Pink Floyd song and this is what I came up with! Charlie sang it perfectly but the recording was muddy and didn't sound quite right, so I cleaned it up and remastered it and then I produced a video for it a couple of weeks ago. The video is brand new and it does have a pretty cool vibe to it! Very Sci-fi!! I worked hard on it and I hope you all like it!

As always in my life, she rescues me, I hate being alone and if I recall I wrote this around the time my wife was going through chemo for Breast Cancer, everything is fine now and the cancer is long gone! It was a scary time for me and hence this song! Anyone can tell how I'm feeling at a certain time by my songs, if they're sad, I was sad, if they're happy, I was happy, and so on and so forth! So this is a little different than my usual happy-go-lucky, lovey-dovey songs but one must remain versatile in life or one becomes obsolete, so they say! I like to experiment with my songs and here's one of my experiments! Open your mind and let her heaven hands reach out and rescue you too! Cheers!🙏😎✌🏼

“SHE RESCUES ME”

I DIE A BIT EACH TIME SHE LEAVES ME,     
WHEN SHE’S GONE I’M NOT MYSELF,     
SOMETIMES MY OWN CONSCIOUS DECEIVES ME,    
I KNOW THERE’S NO ONE ELSE,  
SHE RESCUES ME, 
SHE RESCUES ME,
          
WITHOUT HER LIFE IS SO TRANSPARENT,  
I FEEL ADRIFT AND LOST AT SEA,   
I SHRUG IT OFF BUT IT’S APPARENT,    
SOMEHOW I CANNOT BE,   
SHE RESCUES ME, 
SHE RESCUES ME,
         
A BLINDMAN IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT HER,   
A HOMELESS CHILD ON THE STREETS,     
CAN’T EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS ABOUT HER, 
THAT MAKES ME SO COMPLETE,
SHE RESCUES ME, 
SHE RESCUES ME,

AND AS I FALL BETWEEN THE CRACKS,       
COUNTING THE MINUTES UNTIL SHE COMES BACK,         
TO ME,         
UNTIL SHE COMES BACK TO ME,
SHE COMES BACK TO ME.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
