An intense year gone already ... Here is a collection 2016 tracks released on SC , many of them in collaboration with SC friends I 'd like to thank so much here for their inspiration, creative enthousiasm and  kind patience !!!  :)
I love to think that what binds us is stronger than what seperates us (thank you Alexis for this beautiful thought I share completely) ...
 Let's continue to share the joy of playing, creating music and supporting each other in 2017 !!  Most kindly yours , Steph

2016 Tracks

Last months recreations, discovering the cloud of sounds, learning to play new real instruments (bass, didgeridoo, trumpet), having fun with my old clarinet and guitars,  andl happily learning how to make music   ! :)

Lyrics:

Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit butter side down
Buttermilk biscuit, biscuit, biscuit
Buttermilk biscuit, fallen on the ground

6 in the mornin' and i'm up to make
buttermilk biscuits, biscuits, biscuits
tasting so good the whole plate your gonna lick it
pour buttermilk in the batter then mix it, mix it, mix it
if you prefer use a whisk and whisk it
got the chorizo gravy on deck to flip it, flip it, flip it
put me on the skillet and you know i'm gonna rip it
a tasket a tisket, a basket of biscuits
made a morning treat for my love and dropped it, dropped it, dropped it
butter side down
5 second rule, null and void when butters on the ground
buttermilk biscuit, butter side down

The Couch King - Buttermilk Biscuit - Served Plain: 130 BPM (Open Collaboration)

My litle Happy new year to all ..with the clarinet :))
May love, kindness and happiness be with you !!!
All the very best

Le Chasseur (Michel Delpech)

Vocals : https://soundcloud.com/ilaria-brovini
Music : https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn
Hope this full rock version makes you happy :))
Original : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyihQtBes1I

Lyrics
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

[Chorus]

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

[Chorus]

S'Wonderful (George Gershwin)

Made with lots of love thinking of  the Eagles,  the Beatles, Ben Harper  and many other dear ones :))
Hope you enjoy my little song :)
Have a great week 
Steph 

Lyrics:
Did you ever open your mail box
Did you ever check it in the cloud
Did you ever listen to the little song 
I wrote for you

Now, I know you've got so much to do
Now, I know you're working real hard
Now, I know you don't have time for anything
Even for my little song

ooo when you come home
ooo I'll play it live for you
***
Hope it'll make you feel all right :)

Dedicated to all fathers missing their  dear little ones ...just waiting for them to come home :))

Heart strings honey
Falling like blossom leaves
Sugar words honey
Falling down like dust

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven

Heart strings honey
Falling like apple trees
Sweet words honey
Drifting down like rain
Eat it up honey

Kiss and make up
I've already forgotten
By the light of this moon
I've already forgiven
Sparkles in the dark
I've already forgotten
Writings on the wall
I've already forgiven
You

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all my friends, followers and listeners x
I appreciate all of you x
