Lovely transition into this relatively serene section.

Wonderful music! An inspiring listening experience.

@r3np: thanks ... it began as a solo but it was impossible to play so it became a duet, ha ha

I have never heard anything like this, and i love it!

Thank you so much for this JOY Yann. Thank you from my heart.

He`s more myself
Than I am
Whatever our souls are made of
His and mine
Are the same

If raindrops
Were Kisses,
I'd send you showers.
If hugs were seas
I`d send you oceans.

And If love was a person
I`d send you me

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature.

After 100 days of not playing, I sat down today to improvise and this is what appeared.

100 Days

In the song By The Time I Get to Phoenix the protagonist - let’s call him Glen - does a lot of brooding over what the girl he left behind will be doing as he journeys further away from her. It always seemed pretty shitty of Glen to sneak away while she was sleeping. So this is the story of the girl waking up to find him gone. She’s thunderstruck and heads out on his trail … only to discover there may be more to his departure than meets the eye.
This is really a Jay Keepers song - https://soundcloud.com/user-751378198 - that's Jennifer Young on vocals and me on the other stuff but sticking it up on my cloud too.

Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck by your goodbye
I drove to Phoenix to have it out with you
They told me you’d just split, you trying to hide?
I missed you in Albuquerque too
Now i’m parked in the street in Oklahoma city
They’re rounding up a welcoming committee 
Oh man! The best laid plans, the best laid plans.

The cowardly way you left in the night
Knowing I’m a heavy sleeper lately
The note left on the door, how could you write
Those words while I was dreaming of you baby?
Now I’m sitting in the lobby of the Hyatt Place Hotel
Your mother’s here, US marshal as well
Oh man! The best laid plans, the best laid plans

Burning up the road, to your horizon
I’m picturing you hypothesising
About your distance from me.     
By the time I was rising

You say you always said this day was coming
And the telephone would ring right off the wall
But I don’t think you’re leaving, no you’re running
And the man here says you’re headed for a fall

Now you walk into the place with a briefcase on a chain
The look on your face when you see us could be framed
Oh man! The best laid plans, the best laid plans

Thunderstruck

What Does It Mean to Be
By Laurie Blue

Music and lyrics, vocals, guitar, flute, piano, production, and cover art by Laurie Blue

Lyrics:

What does it mean to be
The one you were meant to be
You know who you are, you always knew it
You wait while they’re telling you to
Wait and they’ll show you what they
Think you can handle, nothing to it

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

Well, isn’t it cute, they say
You carry his axe, they say
And who was the one who wrote your song, dear
You take a deep breath because
It takes all your patience when you
Hit them with truth that you belong here

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

Such a sweet girl now, honey
Do it up pretty, honey
Is it too hard for you to play it
You hold back your answer as you
Hold onto dignity with 
Unspoken words, best not to say it

You refused to fit the norm
Since the day that you were born
But they always want to assume
And you’ve always got to prove to them
That you can do it

What Does It Mean to Be - original song by Laurie Blue

In the Most Wonderful Time

Music and lyrics, vocals, acoustic guitar, flute, piano, and production by Laurie Blue; cover art by Laurie Blue and Jeff Mangold

When days are the shortest 
But tempers are shorter
And manufactured cheer is all around
She shouts out a word
That freezes him silent
Refusing to utter a sound

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

That night in their bedroom
She’s got icicle legs
And his are icing up now just the same
She drifts to the edge
A glacier between them
No matter the cause or who’s to blame

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

With his nose stiff and frozen
He’s got a frost-covered beard
And a sad sort of popsicle below
Who could ever imagine
Two snowpeople in bed
Cold-hearted and chilled to the bone

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time

When morning arrives 
And the sun beams its light
They reach with warm hands toward each other
And wrap themselves together
With their sorries and their kisses
The curse has been lifted by the lovers 

In the most wonderful time
In the most wonderful time
