Lyrics:

It became dark when you left
Only the moon gave some light
How see the sun without you
When my heart is broken in two...?

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light..

I know I can be a bit weird
Stupid things that I say and do
But one thing was always so clear for me
I found my light in you..

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...

I gave you all that I could give
I never thought that you would leave
You left me here alone
With my broken heart
I'm crying out for you
Come back
My light...

In the silence of the night

We begin our new song series "A Shared Horizon--We Solve Most Things If We Talk". 
Have you ever thought about humanity and its so-called progress and development through all the millennia on our fantastic little globe, floating on its spiral path around our sun, in the infinity around us. 
Our little "international band" did that for a period of time, and our conversations and thoughts gave birth to music and lyrics. And this music and lyrics became a little story, in 5 parts, which we want to share with you all by publishing a part of the story every week. 
So we wish you all a pleasant experience and listening as you journey with us these next few weeks:)  First song of the series: "Ancient Man, Calm Stream"
Many thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived here on our little globe. Did they have any idea of the future..... and if so what was "future" for them? "Tomorrow, next week, or next year?" Did they even have a word for future? Or was life exclusively about developing and expanding the group and getting food for the day? Or did they, too, have other goals and meaning with their lives?

Lyrics and vocals: Our dear poet Peter, soundcloud.com/user-264930040/tracks
Music, Mix and Production; Seagull, @farout-music-studio
Spoken word/lyric:
I have no words, just thoughts, like these
Of primal cravings, fears and needs.
My leathered skin, yet young, seems older
Browned and cracked I shiver colder
Depicting beasts muralled large within my cave,
Their fatty flesh my empty gut to crave.

Bursting fires from the frozen mountain thread
And weave and belch and burn and spit of ochres red.
The very poison whence my paintbox palette grows
'Neath the toxic gases twixt congealing lava flows.
In these extremes we live, but few, the young into
the perma-sleep will often fall
And not so old, our eldest ageing too, follow close
upon the darkest terror's call.

Meat and heat is all I need,
Stone and bone, all I own.
Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
Cleanse it in the calming stream.

Strip the skin, spit the pips,
Moisturize the burning lips.
Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
Cleanse it in the calming stream.

I'm playing some ambient piano with various filters and tape emulation over the top of a sample I recorded of Tom Waits reciting "The Laughing Heart" 
A poem written by Charles Bukowski.

Your life is your life
Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission
Be on the watch
There are ways out
There is light somewhere
It may not be much light but
It beats the darkness
Be on the watch
The gods will offer you chances
Know them
Take them
You can’t beat death
But you can beat death in life, sometimes
And the more often you learn to do it
The more light there will be
Your life is your life
Know it while you have it
You are marvelous
The gods wait to delight in you

Your Life Is Your Life

Oh Yeah!

Over The Horizon

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
