superfine version! love the strings - violine? and also the bass is very wonderful:)

Mark's original lends itself so well to seemingly endless wonderful variations, as is the case right here.  Lovely work, Dan.

A song written for the love of my life, my husband .

The Man i Never Thought Existed

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

Stressed

(John Stone)

Life is a bitch
I’ve heard it said  
Some people even say they’re  better off dead
You’re in a hole
Then take control
Take care of business could be good for your soul

If I were you I wouldn’t get so stressed about it
Don’t waste the moment going OhOhOh
Instead of thinking what might happen and when
If something going to happen you can deal with it then

Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
You should keep yourself together don’t get angry or depressed
Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
Just keep calm and keep collected when bad feelings are expressed  
Let’s not get stressed stressed ….   

It’s true the future, may not seem  bright
And there’s no answer to the problems in sight
Just down the line  things could be fine
You often find and answer if you just give it time

Stressed

Fading Memories REMASTER

A Lady of Fire original

Skin Folk

She reminds me
Soul has no color
it emanates from the sum
of life
as a vibrant symphony
of you

Those sole regrets
and moments revealing
themselves as
the bone truth

We are organized
of sound
and gravity

pulling us closer to
the source of divinity
we sometimes
forget

Heal My Heart ©
Riff Beach - Original 
RiffWerx - 2024
In the darkness
With the stars so bold
He keeps searching for the warmth he’s owed
He walks the streets
With his head hung low
He has a struggle with nothing to show
Got his dreams strapped on his back
A Heavy Load…..
Been walking too long
On this Broken Road
In every beat, a somber note
In every line, a whispered hope
He’s reaching out for something real
For someone who can help him heal
Oh, Come Heal My Heart
Because it’s been torn apart
Come On now
And Heal My Heart
Wanderin’ through the storm he fights
Just longing for a Ray of Light
He hides the scars inside his soul
Spent too much of his life….
Out in the cold
Come Warm My Heart

Sunny Beaches

Mark placed this open collaboration up many months ago.   I heard it and thought it was an odd, sober song.  I dug a little into the history of this song and discovered that it is a great classic sung by many people.  I made my own version and shared it with Mark.   I thought I may never release it for other's to hear.

I heard many people play it in so many different manners.  Then I head many fantastic alterations of Mark's version.  I felt surely my version had nothing to add to all of those wonderful renditions.  So it sat for many months.

A while back Mark discussed with me the idea of releasing it.  I went back and listened to it.  I decided that it was not terrible (which too often some of my songs are not fit for human consumption).  Today seemed the right day to post it and send my parting glass to Prince.

Here is my(very traditional) arrangement:

Dm                           C
Of all the money that e'er I spent
     Dm                  C
I've spent it in good company
    Dm                       C
And all the harm that ever I did
 Dm     C      Dm
Alas it was to none but me
    F
And all I've done for want of wit
   Gm         F
To memory now I can't recall
   Dm                     C
So fill to me the parting glass
     Dm        C      Dm
Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

The Parting Glass to Prince

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:
