"I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

--Sylvia Plath

SEAS OF GOLD 

Written, performed, recorded and produced by BROOKFIELD
Engineered, mixed and mastered by Oliver Lyu
Artwork by Casey Roarty
Special thanks to Elliott Liu.

Over Seas Of Gold
Searching for the light
I've already stolen
All she thought was right
My hands are oh so cold
The sun has left my sight
How she thought I owed
Something else tonight

So tell me I'm a better man
Tell me life's worth living
The bitter end is out of sight
For she has been forgiven 

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change

I walk down the same roads
I've been so many times
This place is overgrown
Old leaves block out the light

So tell me I'm a better man
Tell me life's worth living
The bitter end is out of sight
For she has been forgiven 

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change

And despite it all,
I'll always stay
I've seen it all
Your mysterious ways.
And still I call
And hope some day
But I always know
Some things never change.

Seas Of Gold

Blank Page is the first single from the upcoming album 'Memories of a New Home'

Lyrics:  

Don't tell me that you are tired
don't tell me that you've been blue
cause we were just, we were just starting
how dare you say this wasn't true?

You were a light that haunted me
your indecision brings me down
but I need you now to start all over
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways,
I swear i'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

A warning sign just blinded me
I knew I wasn't going right
now there's a fire inside me
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways, 
I swear I'm gonna change them all 
to start on a blank page

If you take this away from me
it's gonna get too dark to see
so now, I beg you for a chance

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways
I swear I'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

We'll get back to the start

In the Bleak Midwinter (Bonus track)

Ten directions is a Eastern cosmogony’s term that means "in all directions throughout the space." These directions are the eight of the compass: east, south-east, south, southwest, west, north-west, north, north-east, plus the Nadir – to the down - and Zenit - at the top.  These "Ten directions" are often matched to past, present and future to describe the set of all places – Ten Directions - and times - Three Times.
 At any time and in any place existed a sound that awakens and resonates at a specific emotional state. A call that is heard and collected by those who were looking for it for a long time and in any direction.
 
While playing or composing, I take refuge into myself, directing the sound through the ten directions of space. Then, I let my thoughts meander both in the internal direction, the innerself, and in the outer, the discovery and the meeting. The union of these two states arouses emotion, subtle matter that can be felt by those who are listening and are on the same frequency and in tune.

 The launch of the thought starts from the silence, and then, one key after another, starts moving and traveling through the air like an arrow into space. The sound is without obstacles, in the ten directions, and resonates through the invisible world of vibrations. Announces itself and enters the inner space. It comes to ears, the hearing organ, and shakes all the other senses. It kidnaps, touch the nerve centre and pervades us. It meets and joins up with something that is already there, and is welcomed as it was expected all along.

 The sound is clear, it radiates and spreads everywhere, and comes back, in a two-way process, creating contact points and unexplained bridges. Is a dimension that affects and charms because we recognize it, surprised and excited at the same time. As a light, it illuminates hidden areas through the mind and the heart, and reaches the deepest part of our inner. The listener and the player finds themselves alive in a sensitive state, and this sharing creates the communion, the union of sound and spirit, music and noise away from fiction, which dwells always and everywhere in the ten directions.

Ten directions - Handel Hendrix House

When I heard this beautiful piece by David I thought it would make a lovely song. I’m very grateful to him for letting me sing on this lovely piece. 🙂🎶
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely guitar compositions.

Little bird
Won’t you stay a while 
And help me sing

Little bird
Won’t you fly with me
And help me soar

Little birds
Won’t you sing with me
And help my soul

Little bird
Won’t you sing to me
I hear your voice
I hear your voice...

Pajarito (Little bird) by David Dunham & Annie Smart

Soooo delighted to post my fourth collaboration with the amazing @still-audio  I was blown away when he sent me this gorgeous song to sing and loved working on it very much!  The arrangement is amazing so enjoy the build.....🎵😍🎧

Lyrics

Strangers they walk in the dark 
In the smallest hours
They make their mark

Walk with me
In the nighttime sky
Walk with me
I’ll lead the way

Follow my lead

Mmm I’ll lead the way

Dreamers they dream in the dark
In the smallest hours
Let me lead the way

Oh talk to me
Underneath those stars
Talk with me
I’ll lead the way

Walk with me
In the smallest hours
Oh talk to me
I’ll lead the way

Follow my lead

You can walk with me
In the smallest hours
You can talk with me
In the smallest hours

THE SMALLEST HOURS (by STILL featuring Annie Smart)

When David sent me this gorgeous track with emotional back story I knew it would make a lovely song. The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways but I sing this for my late Father who passed away in 2013. He was a beautiful guitarist and would have enjoyed this song. @david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thank you for this lovely song. 😊🎶

Lyrics

We can’t make promises 
That we can’t keep
Though me might try
Don’t say goodbye

We can pretend it’s all ok
Don’t say goodbye 

No breathing without you
No living without you 
No living without you here

Living for today
So much to say
Please don’t say goodbye 

And I’ll be here when you need me
No smiling without you
No breathing without you
No living without you

Living for today
So much to say 
Please don’t say goodbye....

DON’T SAY GOODBYE (by David Dunham and Annie Smart)

Proud to present my third collaboration with David! This lovely guitar track was calling out to me again to make it a song. Nice to add a little piano too. Thank you David. 😊🎶🎤🎸

@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely tunes. 😊

I’d never run out of things to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your tales
For one more day
Tell you my worries
What’s on my mind
For one more day
Ooh

Never run out of words to say
If we had one more day

Tell me your stories
Tell me your fears
For one more day

Hold my hand oh
Talk with me...

Tell you my secrets
What’s on my mind
For one more day
For one more day
One more day...

For One More Day (By David Dunham featuring Annie Smart)

Was so wonderful for David to play on this composition after me singing on several of his lovely tunes. I did the singing after David added this lovely guitar part and it really helped me create the story. Thank you David for your time and talent! We hope you enjoy! 😊🎶🎹🎸
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more lovely music.

Oldest tale in the book
The queen
She finds the king

And they dance ‘til the morning light
Oh they dance ‘til the sun says hello

They watch the stars start to fade
The moon fades away

Oldest story
The queen
She makes her move

And she smiles ‘til the sun says goodbye
And she smiles ‘til the morning light

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set

They dance all night
They dance all night

They watch the stars start to glow
They watch the sun start to set...

KINGS AND QUEENS (with David Dunham - lovely guitar)

So honored to collaborate again with the talented Annie Smart.  Annie had this tune in mind for me to add a guitar part. The challenge is to complement and not compete with her lovely keyboard voices while keeping in mind that vocals will be added as well.  After some experimentation with voicing and chord forms, this seemed the best way to go.  We both liked the result and thought it could stand on its own as an instrumental. It is meditative and gentle in its flow, a sweet track, at least we hope you think so:) To hear more of Annie's beautiful music, follow this link: @annie-smart-1

Kings And Queens Instrumental--Annie Smart, lovely keyboard; David Dunham, guitar

When I heard this gorgeous track by David I knew it would make a lovely song. His guitar playing is very lovely so it was a joy to sing this and add some piano here and there! We hope you enjoy our 5th collaboration. 
@david-dunhamuser589535203 for more wonderful music! Thanks for letting me sing and play again. 😊🎶🎸

Sunshine In The Rain (David Dunham and Annie Smart)

This tune came out of a wonderful convergence (happy accident); my collaboration with @devin-locke on "Theme and Variations" and a renewed interest in the painting of Bob Ross. One of the variations I became so taken with, I wanted to develop it into a full track using the original steel string voice of the collaboration then adding nylon string to enlarge the melody line.  "Happy Accidents" was a favorite saying of Bob Ross as he would go about his painting on Public Television.  I saw how it applied to me in how I have composed guitar music over the years;  the unexpected note or chord I first thought a mistake became a turning point for a phrase or melody line.  Some would call it "serendipity", for Bob Ross it was a "happy accident".  If you listen closely toward the beginning, you can hear my granddaughter Lily in the background, a bit of a cameo and very much a happy accident:)

Happy Accidents (For Bob Ross)

A while back fine guitarist @devin-locke inspired me to revisit some of the early Miles Davis' recordings which are brilliant jazz masterpieces.  I wanted to try my hand at the style and have Devin join me if he felt so inclined.  He hasn't yet, but may do so in the future:) Anyway, a little tribute to a master...

Miles And Miles To Go

Written for my 2nd granddaughter who turned 20 last November, she is pictured here as a three year old about the time the song was first written.  It was a stylistic breakthrough for me finding its birth on a Mexican classical guitar I found at a pawn shop and bought at a bargain because it needed repair.  Shortly after the glue dried, I started playing it and the opening phrases of the song just poured out and I thought "that sounds like my Grace".  So here it is on the Godin, a song for Grace and a prayer for you.

Grace To You

Angels play a huge role throughout the Biblical narrative.  They also play a role in our lives as well, probably much more than we realize...May Lemke is one such angel. I read about her years ago and her rescuing of a hopelessly disabled, premature baby she would adopt and name Leslie in an article titled "The Miracle of May Lemke's Love".  Here is a brief video of that angel telling her story.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWtZA-ZmOAM&list=PLKj3m-0NiJ6VpEOx8YE1dhsRg0umHaQ8N&index=1  Debra Buesking gives the song yet another dimension of ambience and power in our collaboration: soundcloud.com/david-dunhamuser589535203/on-the-wings-of-angels-second-flight-with-debra-buesking-piano

On Angels' Wings (In Memory of May Lemke)

With all that's going on, sometimes the heart just wants to flee to a place of innocence. Maybe we could meet there...

Return To Innocence

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.
