After Dark

Transcending

From The Hilarity Of Wolves

LYRICS

Woke up to an unnerving sound
The children outside where all gone 
and the ground was neglected and I was ashamed to have been at the scene
I'm watching these people just wander around
Their eyes in a glaze, their heads to the ground
Avoiding the contact that we as the human might need

But I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and when this sun sets over my head, thats as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

Void of the truth and some old world style
We've lost all our swagger and never get high
and wait for the moment that last breath caresses our lips

Singularity will come one day
Won't think for ourselves and the records won't play
I'll be screaming in silence just look up and look around

Cause I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever, but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and this sun sets over my head
That's as real as it can get 
not dragging a life of regret to my grave
I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got music in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and the sun sets over my head
that's as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood

Harpin' With Mr. Fender Rhodes

I recorded first guitar about one year ago and now I decided to add second one. This is rather my own interpretation than cover but maybe someone like it.

The banjo is a musical instrument with African origins, believed to have been developed by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and later brought to North America. The exact origins of the banjo are unclear, but it is thought to have evolved from similar stringed instruments in West Africa, such as the akonting or ngoni

The banjo first gained popularity in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in the American South, where it became associated with African American music and culture. Early banjos were typically made with gourds for resonators and animal skin for the drumhead, and were played using a technique called frailing or clawhammer, in which the player's fingernail or a piece of bone is used to strike the strings

In the late 19th century, the banjo underwent a period of rapid evolution, with improvements in materials and construction leading to the development of more sophisticated and versatile instruments. One important development was the introduction of the resonator, a wood plate behind the open drum that increased the volume and projection of the banjo's sound. Another was the development of the five-string banjo, which added a shorter fifth string that allowed for more complex playing techniques

The origins of the 5-string banjo are unclear, but it is believed to have been developed by African American musicians in the mid-19th century. The addition of the fifth string, which is shorter than the other four strings and is tuned to a higher pitch, allowed for a wider range of notes and made it easier to play certain melodies and chord progressions

One of the early pioneers of the 5-string banjo was Joel Sweeney, a white musician from Virginia who popularized the instrument in the mid-1800s. Sweeney is often credited with introducing the shorter fifth string, as well as other improvements to the banjo, such as the addition of frets and the use of metal strings

However, it's important to note that the development of the 5-string banjo was likely a collaborative effort among many musicians, both black and white, and its exact origins are difficult to trace. Nonetheless, Sweeney's contributions were significant and helped to establish the modern form of the instrument that is still popular today

During the early 20th century, the banjo became a popular instrument in a variety of musical styles, including jazz, blues, and country music. The instrument was played by a number of famous musicians, including Earl Scruggs, who popularized a three-finger picking style that became known as the Scruggs style

In recent years, the banjo has experienced a resurgence of popularity, particularly in the realm of folk and Americana music. Today, the banjo is played in a wide range of styles and genres, and is appreciated for its unique sound and cultural significance in musical storytelling

Sinagot au fil de l'eau

A song written for my daughter to hold me to account to all the promises I've made her no matter what life distraction may be. Released with Babywoman Records.

Stars shine over you now while you sleeping,
we'll try to do almost everything 
 To make it all sound for you, but

Words can't put you to bed at night 
and words they won't feed you and hold you tight
A saying can’t,
 fill up the cracks in the wall

So call me out on all the things
I promised
 I said I would do,
Tell me straight if there are things 
I swore
I'd make for you

All I want is the best for you
All of my love is yours 

Your laugh can light up the mood in a dark room,
Inspired your father to write a tune,
To tell how he feels about , but

Words they can't put you to bed at night 
and words they won't feed you and hold you tight
A saying can't fill up the cracks in the wall

So call me out on all the things
I promised
 I said I would do,
Tell me straight if there are things 
I swore
I'd make for you

The Wendy house, the bike repairs, the paint on your walls 
All of my love is yours
