ATLANTISCHE WEGE [ASDB and ANSOUND]

End of Endless Love Joint collab with Nick Olman recording guitar and my vocal a few years back. 
A recent  very talented music friend of mine made an orchestration for the song OVER this track (  https://soundcloud.com/user-427228031 paint-Germain ) ...a very difficult thing to do THANK YOU Raphael :-) you made me smile! 
Raphael made ANOTHER orchestra only which I am WAITING to develop a duet version of this song. This has been a long-time dream of mine to accomplish this. I have some intuitive thoughts on the interplay (see the Till Then song I posted with a friend some years ago also) https://soundcloud.com/doug-roossien/till-then-by-doug-roosssien
It’s going to take the right person singing with me on the unfinished orchestral track …I’m releasing this orchestral and vocal creation  because I need time to think and ideas to ferment, and to communicate with potential duet partners on it.   
LYRICS BELOW ...

I loved you…you loved me …we both shared loves mystery
We lived out… our hopes and dreams…souls together…so it seemed…
Till fires burned down…and stars went out…bridges crossing… rivers drowned
Tears of happiness… dried up…we found the end… of endless love.

Is this the end of endless love…?
What were our hearts thinking of?
Cause I still love you…and if you love me too.
Stay forever…and ever

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save
From these words of anger…jealous tears…bullets aimed at… hearts in fear…
Has left us standing…face to face…as tears roll down… you say…

Is this the end of endless love…?
What were our hearts thinking of?
Cause I still love you…and if you love me too.
Stay forever…and ever

Cause I love you…if you love me…if we still share love’s mystery
Can we still live our hopes and dreams…?
Souls together…endlessly
Cause fires burned down…and stars went out…bridges crossing rivers drowned
Tears of happiness dried up…we found the end…of endless love

Is this the end …is this the end…
we should be makin’ up…not breakin’ up

Cause I love you…if you love me…can we still share that mystery
Still live our hopes and dreams…Souls together…you and me

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save
From these words of anger…jealous tears…bullets aimed at… hearts in fear…
Babe were standing…here today…as tears… roll down… you say

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save

Tea-Snuggery Show #49 with Wilfried Hanrath (Threads*Wuppertal)-27-jun-23
https://threadsradio.com/
https://www.mixcloud.com/ThreadsRadio/tea-snuggery-show-49-w-wilfried-hanrath-_wuppertal-27-jun-23/

With Wilfried Hanrath we present a very versatile artist whose music celebrates the moment. Wilfried draws on collaborations with friends from all over the world.
They work on the tracks on an equal footing, at the same time the creative process plays an important role. According to Wilfried, this open-ended way of working produces the most surprising results, the creative process leads to unexpected twists and turns, spontaneity is the key to creating a world of sound all his own - for the artist, the freest and most honest kind of music. Improvisation is the core and starting point for his compositions.  

About this mix: 
This approach is also reflected in every part of Hanrath's mix. Calm and dreamy passages, krautrock nuances that suddenly discharge themselves, freely after Jaco Pastorius: "keeping your mind open".
Change is possible, soul music for advanced listeners, sometimes stirring, then again soothing and calming - in any case always recorded with a lot of heart and soul - come along on a journey into the fantastic sound worlds of Wilfried Hanrath and friends. Listen with care q:

Originally sang by The Cranberries, No Need to Argue is a moving piece of music that inspires some creative harmonies. I had to record this as it means a great deal to me.

No need to argue

No Need To Argue

This is the first full production recording mix ...
of this song written by Doug Roossien. 
All production and instruments by Nick Olman production.  May 8, 2012


When your troubles leave you weary...Lay your mind on flowers blue...
One’s that take you someplace...Where your dreams...they wait for you...
When you're just… too tired to bother…With the noise and all life's… toil...
Lay your head on those blue flowers…In those fields of quiet soil.

You can walk… yes, you can wander…But you can’t outrun … the truth…
You can’t live with all your troubles…But when you die…they’ll go with you…
Take just one moment…from your lifetime…Smell the roses…see the blooms
Lay your head …on those blue flowers…In the fields of quiet soil

Beneath that aging oak tree…  Where my grandpa’s laid to rest…                 
Grandma’s there beside him… Hear those robins in their nest
And the sun is shining down… Upon…waves of amber gold
Next to…flowers blue… In fields of quiet soil

Oh mother, how I miss you…Beneath these flowers… on your grave
I need to know…you’re waiting…For me…to come… someday…
When I’m  just too damn tired…to bother…With all this noise and all life’s… toil…
Then I’ll lie beneath blue flowers…In your fields of quiet soil

"FIELDS OF QUIET SOIL"...DOUG ROOSSIEN/ NICK OLMAN

I just want to hold your hand
Look into your eyes again
I want to see...the soul in you
I want to show... you...my soul too

You know I want to ...lay...you down
We could make love...tonight ...on this cloud
I want you to know...we can take this slow
When you’re ready...just let me know

Till then...I ’ll just......hold your hand...
Let our ...eyes...make love again
Play the music slow...soft and low
Two lonely hearts...come in from the cold

TILL THEN by DOUG ROOSSIEN (duet with LAMARA)

Almares

Doug Roossien words and music. vocals 
how romantic ...can you be? ...never ask a poet that

Whisper your name…over and over 
Until Sierra…the word becomes a song 
I kiss your lips…and promised to be tender 
Is it the wind…or my love…you’re breathing in
I love you
Sierra…it would be romantic 
We would walk…at night along the shore 
Lie on the beach…right down near the water 
We’d spend hours…and the  only song we’d played
…was I love you
Sierra…my oa sis…I drank…from your  love 
Now Sierra. ..You’re the dessert…and it’s a long way to walk
Sierra…Sierra…hear this  song…I wrote  for you 
I  love you…
Looked in your eyes…I just saw heaven 
Picked wild flowers for your auburn hair 
Up in your room…we could see the moonlight 
Paint a silhouette…love shadow on your wall 
As I loved you…I loved you…Sierra..I loved you 
But…Sierra…my oasis…I drank… all your love 
Now Sierra.. You’re the dessert…and it’s a long   way to walk
Sierra…Sierra…hear this song…I wrote for you 
I love you…I Love you…Sierra…I Love you

Thanks to the wonderful Bethany Sky Whitman for agreeing to record my song "Tulips in April"
She provided all the playing singing and wonderful lead guitar and background
We may someday try this as a duet ... hope you enjoy

she is relatively new...but not new to playing writing and singing...but she has some original tracks of her own at ...http://soundcloud.com/bethany-sky-whitman

lyrics...

Tulips in April was an early love of mine 
we lived the seasons till the winter killed the vine 
when the snow lay on the ground all the world was chilled 
wishing there were tulips on the hill

We raced the sunshine...followed raindrops... 
to the sea... 
Loved every minute...we could steal... 
while they were free 
That was then..and if I knew...back then... 
that you would leave.... 
I'd anchor your love...deep...within the sea.

There was silver... in the stars... 
we wished upon...those summer nights,,, 
and gold dust settled softly... 
from that moon's eternal light... 
and the prettiest pink...a rose would know... 
laid petals...on your face... 
but the colors of our love...would fade away...

Tulips in April was an early love of mine 
we lived the seasons till the winter killed the vine 
then the snow lay on the ground all the world was chilled 
wishing there were tulips on the hill

Thanks for listening

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!
