Freedom is not Free - Master 12/23/2011 Lyrics by Tony Harris

AS I ENTERED THE VA HOSPITAL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
MEMORIES, FLOODED MY SOUL
CHINA BEACH - NAM - SEVENTY ONE CAME TO MIND
AND ONE YOUNG MAN I NEVER WILL FORGET
WITH BOTH LEGS GONE AND RIGHT ARM MISSING
A WEDDING BAND TOLD ME THAT A WIFE WAS WAITING
I OFTEN WONDER WHERE HE IS TODAY
AND I WONDER IF HE IS OK

CHORUS
SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
THOUSANDS HAVE DIED FIGHTING DON'T YOU SEE
IN A FAR AWAY COUNTRY IN HARMS WAY
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM WHEN YOU PRAY
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

AS I ENTERED ARLINGTON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
ALL THE WHITE TOMBS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES
AS THE HONOR GUARD SLOWLY PLACED THE REEF
IT SEEMED THAT I FELT MY HEART SKIP A BEAT
I THOUGHT OF THOSE WHO HAD DIED
AND ALL THE MAMA'S THAT HAVE CRIED
THERE IS NO WAY TO IMAGINE ALL THE PAIN
FREEDOM IS NEVER EASY TO OBTAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Original (BMI)

▶ Mastering: @veytik

The Art Vibes Reworks II project started as a crazy idea during summer 2018 and is only now seeing daylight. If you’re following Art Vibes for a while you may have seen the release of the first edition back in September 2017 including 10 reworks of our early catalogue.

Having grown a diverse catalogue over the last five years, it was inevitable to offer a fresh outlook on the tunes people have danced to in many locations around the globe. Being given the chance to work with respected producers to carry out such a project is humbling in many ways.

The 20 reworks presented in this album have been produced by Anatolian Sessions(@anatoliansessions), Arjuna Schiks(@arjunaschiks), Ask (@ask4music)& Midø, Beyond Physical(@beyondphysical), Dizharmonia(@dizharmoniaofficial), Estray(@estray-1), Haze-M(@haze-m), Hrag Mikkel(@hrag-mikkel), Kapoor(@kapoormusic) & Indygo(@indygoxoxo), KeyBe(@key-be) & SEGG(@seggmusic), Max Tenrom(@max-tenrom), Mel7em(@mel7em_official), Menachem 26(@menachem26legacy), Nacim Gastli(@nacimgastli), Pandhora(@pandhora), Rafael Aragon(@rafiralfiro), Savvas(@savvas), Sahalé(@sahaleprods), Valeron(@valeron), and Veytik(@Veytik).

The album is divided in four parts, each part showcasing 5 tracks representing a season of the year. Going from Spring to Winter, through Summer and Fall, the sounds move gracefully from soothing electronica and downtempo to the dynamic sounds of progressive house and melodic techno.

Wether you're having winter in summer or fall in spring, we wish this album suits you well and can be a proper medium for dance, relaxation and art enlightenment.

Remake of a track I made earlier this year, now featuring @mariethmarieth

Bliss (feat. Marieth)

Bliss

Enceladus was one of the Gigantes from Greek mythology, a son of Gaea and Uranus, who is said to be buried under Mount Etna. More recently, he gave his name to Saturn's sixth-largest moon, discovered by Herschel in 1879 and thought by many to be the only other body in our solar-system that might harbour life. Could this be true? Why not join me on an inter-planetary mission to explore its icy depths and we can find out for ourselves...

Artwork is by the inspired collage artist, Harl Vind and is entitled "Gigantomaniacs".

Sabda - Leela Vol.2

YouTube: https://youtu.be/NeK4K0Q-eyc.  Website: https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM. Featuring Anna and Ari Rader on vocals. Dave on keyboards and production. Style: Electronic Pop. The message of the song can be best described by the pre-chorus, "You can dream and you can change. All the world is your domain." Several manipulated vocal effects of my voice were added for creative enhancement. Daughter Anna sings the verses and is joined in the chorus by her daughter. I am grateful for the opportunity to have them participate.

Beyond

The space probe Voyager was launched in 1977 and was the first spacecraft to cross the heliopause and enter the interstellar medium. At a distance of 22.2 billion km (13.8 billion mi) from Earth it is the most distant man-made object from Earth. Voyager carries a gold-plated audio-visual disc should the spacecraft ever be found by intelligent life with photos of the Earth, a range of scientific information, spoken greetings in 55 languages and a medley of earth sounds including the sounds of whales, a baby crying, waves breaking on a shore, and a collection of music.

A Message from Voyager 1

YouTube: https://youtu.be/CKstpbhl4nA  Website: https://daveheffner.com.
Featuring Chris Morgan on flugelhorn, Dave & Jan Heffner with vocals. Dave on piano and production.
I am thankful that Chris recommended the flugelhorn instead of the trumpet. It’s warm, mellow tone is just perfect. This song is quite personal, reflecting on my having an incurable medical diagnosis a few years ago and now seeing “the edge” closer than I wished. But as Jan and I sing in the chorus, “to create, is quite sublime.”
VERSE1
I hurry to write another rhyme,
Before I can’t and run out of time.
Being able to create is quite sublime.
Stopping me now would be a crime.
VERSE2
Getting sick when I was in my prime.
Worried when I’d earn my last dime.
No more mountains that I can climb.
Asked how I’m doing, I just say “fine.”
CHORUS
Take the time.
Another rhyme.
To create,
Is quite sublime.
Living on the Edge.
VERSE3
I have to act now and not just talk.
My time is limited, so says the “Doc.”
I can write music, but have trouble when I walk.
There is no cure. Between a hard place and a rock.
VERSE4
My style may be unorthodox,
What do you expect when I’m watching the clock?
Doing my best, I know I’m not Bach.
Sometimes my music may give you a shock
CHORUS

Living On The Edge (ft. Chris Morgan - flugelhorn, Dave & Jan Heffner - vocals)

A SONG ABOUT TRUE LOVE
YouTube: https://youtu.be/5b0Mr6_2hpg. Website: https://daveheffner.com. Style: electronic. Featuring: Anna Rader - vocals. As the lyrics questions below in the chorus, "What more can you ask than love from the heart?" Vocalist Anna sings the lead as well as the backup and vocal effects in this electronic ballad style song.
LYRICS
INTRO
Love from the heart.  2X
VERSE1
Yes, I’m happy that you are kind.
I really like when you use your mind.
But how much do you love me, from your heart? From your heart.
It’s not what you say, and only you can show.
Not what others think, ‘cause only you can know.
Love from the heart.
VERSE2
I like when you say you’re mine.
I am always looking for a sign,
Of how much you love me, from your heart. From your heart.
There’s no other way, than to love me for today.
We will show each other love, and we will be okay.
Love from the heart.
PRE-CHORUS
Love from the heart.  2X
CHORUS
I love you and hope that you can see,
You’ll get undivided love, and much more from me.
My pure devoted love, with no ending and no start.
What more can you ask than love from the heart?
Love from the heart.  2X
BRIDGE
Love, love, true love.
Love from the heart.
REFRAIN
Love from the heart.  2X

Love From The Heart (ft. Anna Rader - vocals)

A SONG ABOUT OUR WORLD.  YouTube: https://youtu.be/lhdzlevx6SE. Website: https://daveheffner.com. Always wanted to write a song for pipe organ.

Dave Heffner - Roland RD-2000 for Pipe Organ and Grand Piano with the rest of the electronic sounds programmed with Xfer Serum in Pro Tools.

This song came to me all at once The Lyrics / Music everything. I had to get out of bed to capture the idea for a morning session.
LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

Loose improvisation on a Burns SSJ guitar with various effects and an Eastwood electric mandolin.

The Keeper   –   words & music: Pravinand Maharaj

Dream I the dreams our fathers dreamed
Not everything is what it seems
The endless sky, the rolling sand
Been with me since time began
Across the harsh the battered glare
Beauty stark is everywhere
A different Paradise it be
In her arms she cradles me

Chorus:
And as the night is keeper
To the moon and stars
You’re the keeper
Of my heart

Hear I a praying bough-bowed tree
A Holy Wind blows through the leaves
Unto the sunset going down
In mystic colours all around
Across the wide the great expanse
Beneath the stones what live must dance
And they share that breath with me
Soul by soul in harmony
Chorus:

Pray I the Mantis never dies
Some mighty God in frail disguise
Another world inside our own
Another world to call a home
Across the dark the light still glows
Through this universe so old
Behind a hill the Eland roams
Carved in rock we’re not alone

Chorus:
