This is a song about my first and only trip to Europe.  It's happy and upbeat.  But perhaps that's not really what it's about.  Maybe it's about those moments that, when we look back, we say are the key moments that were the beginning of all that followed.  There are so many moments to choose from but we select a very few and give them meaning.  
At least that's what I had in mind when I wrote it.


Lyrics:

On my way
Finally underway
Started with the very first step I took
On that particular day
I didn't know
What was ahead for me
Knew the where the flight was heading
Didn't know where it was taking me
Only me and my
Special friend
Wondering though a couple capitals
Until our partnership came to an end

Just a start
There’s got to be a start
Choose any day you can
Until the start
It's always the time
The time before it all began

I believed
Our love was strong
But in the end I guess it didn’t really
Last very long
But it was the first
Path I knew
It hurt when it ended
Like those kind of things always do
But I kept moving on
Hoping to find
If not another path to follow
At least I'd have a damn good time 

Pulling out
Of the station
Heading for
Another nation
Losing heart
Leaving Spain
Time to start  
All over again
It’s not clear
How I got here
But anyway
I’m here today

Whatever time there is
Is all the time we have
No way to make it last
Looking back
It’s never the same
Once today’s become the past

I started down
A strange and winding road
But i left that road and found another
So many years ago
I think about
How it seems to me
That while I kept starting over and over
I ended up where I needed to be

Somehow it all
Works itself out
Never seems to be a plan
Now it’s a memory
From another time
The time before it all began

Before It All Began

Singer songwriter from the Heart of England with a box full of old and new songs on a mission to understand the art of recording and mixing. Most started life on my trusty Martin acoustic and have been played live but never been given the luxury of being recorded. I suspect am gonna be at this for quite a while!

   I truly play my instruments, write my own songs, really sing my songs and have an interest in other real singer/songwriters. I don't rely on AI computer software to create my music because I write it myself. It may not appeal to all but I can honestly say it is my own work. My latest Album "Caught In A Moment" released June 20, 2020 along with new video for "Trying To Breathe" released on June 17, 2020. Checkout the link below. 

   Just a simple singer/song writer here that has a great passion for song writing and really singing my songs. Enjoy spending my time in my studio in the mountains of California where my guitar whales through the night with a string snapping now and then. Spend my summers at my home in the mountains and my winters in southern California. At one time I had a regular gig in San Francisco where the people were actually able to watch me perform my songs and purchase my work. 

   I now love to play at small gatherings. No, I don't need to bring my computer along for it to perform instead of me. Love to take my guitar to the beach and sit on the sand and sing to the ocean. Or sit out on my deck and sing to nature. Love to have friends at my home to play or write a song together as we sit out on a warm summer evening.

All you need to know about Aedos, it's that we live Nowhere... Yes, Nowhere, but behind a Waterfall...

Caleb Lucht bleeds emotion into every chord — a genre-bending blend of disco-pop, R&B, indie-rock, and ballads. His sound is raw, melancholic, and drenched in feeling — built for late nights, long drives, and hearts that still ache. Inspired by artists like DV4D 
Brent Faiyas, Giveon, Daniel Caesar, Cavetown, Isaiah falls, Raahiim, & Balu Brigade, Caleb crafts music that sits somewhere between vulnerability and chaos — melodic but wounded, catchy but real. No gimmicks. Just pain, rhythm, and truth.

I’m a guy from Kinna, born in 1973, and I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. I picked up playing at 17 and spent the 90s in a local garage band, having a lot of fun making music with friends.

These days, I mostly play at home for my own enjoyment. I listen to all kinds of music, as long as it speaks to me and has some feeling behind it. Music has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I’ll never let go of.

I'm a singer-songwriter from Dundee with a warm, distinctive sound and a love of storytelling through song.

If you'd like to support me or keep up with music news and live events have a look at my Bandcamp and socials!

Hi, I’m Hannah. I don’t talk much, but I write everything down.
Most of my songs start in quiet places—back staircases, crowded buses, the edge of someone else’s conversation. I’m from the Midwest. Working-class roots, hand-me-down guitars, and a voice that took me years to trust.

I write about things we feel before we can say them.
First love, last words, parties we didn’t belong at.
The people who left, and the ones who stayed too long.

I’m not chasing perfect. Or viral. I care about craft, emotion, and songs that hit where you least expect.
If you’ve ever walked home with your headphones too loud just to drown out your thoughts—you’ll probably get me.

Thanks for listening ❤️
I’m still figuring it out. But these songs? They’re the truest thing I’ve got.

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
