Wonderful chording and brilliant instrumentation.  Could be an exhilarating accompaniment for a nice pop song.

This is the first time I've heard this purely as an instrumental, without Peter's poetry but it still so powerfully evokes the feel of being beside the sea, wind in your hair and the taste of salt on your lips.  Magnificent work David & Seagull.

wonderful collaboration.  I grew up near the water, and I like the concept and result.  Interesting chord changes at 2:55 and 3:02.  Maybe it is the juxtaposition of the bass notes with the chords that the finger picking patterns are following.  At 2:55-3:00 it sounds like an ambiguous minor sixth / major seventh chord (D minor sixth chord which is an inversion of B-flat major seventh chord?) with the guitar focusing on a minor phrase and the bass implying a major chord.  Then 3:02 sounds like another interesting combo of bass note vs guitar chord.  But maybe I'm reading too much into the vibe made by the nice textures...

A gorgeous piece David. Really effective, images surround the listener. Relaxes but enlivens the imagination.

Some of Us is Me

2022 Janine Levinson
Guitar: Jonathan Beckenstein  @jonathan_beckenstein
   
I’m sorry that I’m not somebody else    
I’m sorry if I let my people down
I didn’t ask for anybody’s help        
I’m sorry that I waited for this long

But it’s like trying to move your life ahead with a stranger at the wheel 
While trying very hard to get along

I’m sorry that I wrecked my lover’s heart
I hope he knows I wrecked my own heart too
I should have looked somewhere outside myself
I hope there’s room for me inside of you

Cause I’ve been trying to stand up straight when I am broken past repair
And still trying very hard to fix what’s wrong 

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

I sometimes wish tomorrow wouldn’t come
But yesterday has problems of his own 
Next to you’s the only thing I’ve got
I wish I knew someplace where I belonged   

And I’ve been trying to stand up straight 
‘Cause I was thinking you might share--
And make my little world not feel so wrong

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

Some Of Us Is Me - with Jonathan Beckenstein

Facing some large trials and challenges has inspired me to do this piece.  Thinking of all those who are facing disappointments and  regrets in their lives.  This music came out of those honest feelings.

Lyrics;-
Long ago on a Japanese Island
The Mother Monkey
Decided to wash the
Dirt away from the sweet potato 
This time before they ate

The other families saw this
And started to do the same
Soon enough it spread
Through the Nation
To other Islands

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

And as the people 
Start to realise
They’ve been in Prison
They’ve been Hypnotised 

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

I'm honoured to collaborate again with the awesome Arma Ignifera https://soundcloud.com/herronsound on this beautiful composition: https://soundcloud.com/herronsound/when-the-moon-falls-like-snow

This song is for a musician friend who spent many very tough months struggling to care for her mother and pets, homeless, living out of a small van.

Along the Way - Arma Ignifera (+ltp)

Seagull was kind enough to share a childhood memory with me of fishing boats with old spark plug engines, the scent of the sea, the sound of gulls looking for a meal, all of which he had put into a lovely musical portrait.  It is a different world compared to the childhood I had growing up in suburban Denver, Colorado.  Now with us both in our later years we get to meet on this wonderful platform called Soundcloud, and I asked if I could tag along with him as he shared this lovely memory.  Thank you my friend for letting me join you.  Always an honor.  Hear more of Seagull's beautiful music @farout-music-studio. A real treat awaits you.

Childhood Memory (Seagull; Guitars, Bass, Synths, David Dunham; Acoustic Guitars)

If this ain’t nice then what is ?  This was said by Kurt Vonneguts’ uncle at family gatherings according to Kurt in a YouTube video of one of his lectures about the shapes of stories . So it goes .

Joe Strummer made some of the best music I’ve ever heard .  Phenomenal songwriter musician who made each song his own.  He wrote a song titled “Ramshackle Day Parade” .  So it goes .

The vw bus bit is a high school memory.  Imagine The 70’s Show .  Old Bob is a ditty from long, long ago.

If this ain’t nice 

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat

Volkswagen micro bus
Sits upon four cinder blocks
Move the rear view mirror 
So I see you see me

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat 

Old Bob can’t find a job
And never will
Old Bob married Jill 
Poor Jill 

If this ain’t nice 
Then what is 
Living day after day
In the great
Ramshackle day parade

if this ain’t nice

Another track done with the remarkable https://soundcloud.com/nakedverse soon to be featured on an unfinished E.P. we are working on. you will always hear it here first. This is a song , a positive outlook about the future of humanity.
Lyrics:-
Are we in the wilderness
As we search for happiness
Is confusion on the menu
As we choose our daily venues
We're bolder and older
And love is something else
The main thing's the right thing to do
It always helps

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth

When life seems to take its toll
And you can't get on a roll
There's a million different people
Having other such upheaval
Who told you , consoled you
That this is all you get
It's time to , define you
Think what you'll create 

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth

It's gonna be so good
Better than before

C'mon out the wilderness
You can find your happiness
With no confusion on the menu 
As you change your daily venues
We're bolder and older
And love is something else
The main thing's the right thing to do
It always helps

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth

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.
