Country that I love so much and am unable to play 😢😁

Congratulations on your album. I thought you had deleted your account but here you are 👏

Love your sound and songs! This is what my Radio is missing!

and now for something completely different…
This song had been half-finished for an age and in a spirit of new-found whimsy I have faux-finished it 😊.  I had rather a lot of fun singing the pixie backing vocals!  Written sung, made and played by Emma.

i saw mermaids, real live mermaids
swimming in that little bay
the secret one where dreams allow us
freedom yet for breathing

i saw elves, the wood-elf kind
when i was walking through the forest
green and golden sunshine drifts through
leaves and i feel magic

i feel magic in the air, i know i am alive at last
i can taste it on my tongue, it feels so.... it feels so....
i don’t know how i’ve been living here so long and never...
o... it’s magic

i saw serpents real live serpents
swimming in the backyard creek
twining tangle shadow waters
i can feel you calling – and the sun on water sparkles

i saw lights in many colours
i was holding out my hand to
gather in the pieces of you
floating on the water

i feel magic in the air, the endless possibilities, 
i taste them hold them on my tongue
run wild as all the colours run
over me now, over and over and over -  it’s magic....

i feel magic in the air...

A little allegro for folk orchestra with a burlesque, circus flavor. On violin, as always, my dear friend, the fabulous @RosinDust.
From time to time Tatiana gives concerts in orphanages and asylums so she has promised me that she will play this piece soon on one of those occasions, hoping it will bring them some joy. I am very happy about it!
Here the other pieces together: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

OPEN DOORS

You don’t have to look
You don’t have to hide
You don’t have to sneak
You just walk on through
More than a little bit
More than a little bit

Hold your head high
Hold, see them eye to eye
Hold, so easy to try
So easy to try
You’re gonna get by

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors

Hold
Hold
Hold

You don’t have to shout
You don’t have to run
Be afraid
Just walk on through
Step through another
Step through another

Hold your heart high
Hold, don’t ask why
Hold, no need to be shy
You’re gonna get by

Hold
Hold
Hold

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors

Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through
Walk on through

Collab avec Xiomara
https://soundcloud.com/user-745031412
J'ai composé une musique pour accompagner le magnifique texte de Xiomara, écrit et dit par elle.

Cette Fille-Là

Cette Fille - Là (Xiomara, Damga)

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

Long Way From Hell

Shiny Machine | remembering Eddie Van Halen

It's been three years now that we lost legendary Rock guitarist Edward Van Halen. In memory and celebration of his life and influence on me and so many others I have made a track in the vein of and heavily inspired by his music and playing.

I hope you can enjoy this tribute and that it will make you think of him and his joyful, loud and exuberant music.

-Dan

Recorded with the EVH relic Frankenstrat Guitar.
Track written, recorded and played by Dan van den Berg, loosely based on EVH music.

Recorded October 2023,
Recorded using Amplitube, AURIA.

This is the second to last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

We distract ourselves with meaningless noise, money and a selfish desire for 'me'. We don't realise how the skeletons in our closets, the hate and separation we breed and nurture, slowly erodes togetherness, fairness and community, while at the same time builds up to a big explosion, which probably none of us will get out of alive.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Rusty Emergency

Sometimes faith is best looked at like a photographic negative; what does our heart feel when faith is lost? It is so closely allied with hope that the two are hard to distinguish when either or both are lost; but tears are often the result. For many this Christmas, a troubled world only scratches the surface of the personal trouble felt from having lost faith in a loved one, themselves, and perhaps even God.  Christmas is a call to faith, to reach out beyond oneself in the hope that there is One who can give faith, or restore faith that has been lost.  "Hope" is what we consider next...

Slowly The Tears Fall--Seagull, David, and Clara

It's vision quest-y.

My first album has been released! You can find it on all streaming platforms. Please listen, follow and add to your playlists. I am grateful for any and all support! 

You can also follow my YouTube Channel, if you would like. I plan to keep adding regular content. https://www.youtube.com/@damiansmithandthejourneymen

About Me:
I started writing songs a couple years ago and they have been coming steadily ever since. It's not my place to judge how good they are, but I like them and they are honest, personal and from the heart. I hope they speak to someone who decides to listen. If you enjoy them or can relate to the lyrics drop me a message and let me know. 

I try to spend some time most days listening to other creators and I’m finding some great stuff! As independent creators, we are in this together. If you listen to mine, I will listen to yours. While my music mostly stays in the vein of Americana, I love all styles of music. If it has honest lyrics and a groove, you can count me in, so feel free to point me towards your songs if I haven’t found them already.

I should also mention that I have found the BEST producer / instrumentalist in Robert Ruby. He took simple cowboy chord songs and turned them into what you hear.
