A LADDER  I CAN CLIMB - Beth Williams Music

cynthia (remember them well)...
——

remember the good times
(remember them well)
remember the love

remember the feeling
(remember them well)
remember them well

——

with tears in my eyes 
and a smile on my face
clearly I’m trying
to just maintain
and I might if I take
the time to appreciate
all of the joy and the pain

whatever we’re feeling it’s all okay
although our reactions are not the same
there is love and support 
many thanks to family and friends 
I’m so grateful that you came

see it is the life that we celebrate
milestone moments memories made
of museum visits or
listening to music in the kitchen
while preparing meals that we ate

look sometimes it is the simplest things
that stand out the most let’s contemplate
on that for a bit 
candles are lit
you will be missed
still you’re here to stay 

——

remember the good times
(remember them well)
remember the love

remember the feeling
(remember them well)
remember them well

——

there is no way for me to say
what you mean to us all but I’ll try anyway
you have done so much 
given of yourself
and been such a blessing
for goodness’ sake

when we needed you most 
you were right there
to hold us close
with comfort and care
I wish that I could’ve done more
to pay it all back
somehow it doesn’t seem fair

so heavy my heart and how it aches
call upon strength yet still I break
back down I guess this is one of those days
for real it comes and goes in waves

but I’ll always remember 

you

well

with tears in my eyes
and a smile on my face

——

remember the good times
(remember them well)
remember the love

remember the feeling
(remember them well)
remember them well

Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

I don’t like brag about the things that I see
No one ever takes me very seriously
But I’ve been watching and I know what’s up
I got a line on this conspiracy stuff

Everybody laughs at my tin foil hat
But I don’t any part of that
It isn’t funny and it’s not a joke
They always seem to think we had too much to smoke

Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

Transistor radio tuned to Art Bell
Confirming all the theories I know so well
He has a lot of info and knows the deal
With the geometric shapes in my cornfield 

I heard they were conspiring with the “reds”
Pretty soon we’re all gonna be dead
gonna violate us with an anal probe
We’re already hooked up to the electrodes

Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

Darren Douglas Danahy wrote a complete demo version of this song in Ableton Live and as is our usual workflow he sent me the whole project and we went from there.

Drums from Stoney were added to replace most of the Digitakt ones, new bass was added by me and another lot of Bass 6 by 3D as well as vocals from Kathy Freeman and Stone.

All in all a fun project and a great track to launch the new BC page, thank you 3D for graciously letting me have your hard earned creativity adorn this and for Kathy and Stone joining in the fun.

Devin Locke had a wonderful freeform jazz guitar track he wanted me to collaborate on.  This marvelous cluster of chord voicings with melody and bass lines weaved in and through it, I could not begin to compete with much less add to.  I did the next best thing;  I added variations to his main themes in my own style, hoping to complement his phrases.  The result is a contrast of guitar and chord voices, and melody lines from two very different perspectives.  Devin's  Noir ending is very cool in the best tradition of jazz. For more of his music and fine playing: @devin-locke

One of my favourite early John Cale tracks, simple but beautiful.

So often it's the smile that gets you.  Joined here by the wonderful Georg Boehme, who brings his great Baritone Sax to our original.  Georg is the consummate instrumentalist, who creates and produces music playing all the instruments.  Check out his broad selection of jazz originals:  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme .  I know his playing will bring a smile to your day too.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

Anyone hungry for a little 70's soul food?

70's Soul Food

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.
