What Destiny ...orig by Doug Roossien ...featuring... Padruna

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

Inner Mirrors

A folk/bluesy kinda feel, bout going with your intuition.

With You

Guilt

This track is the typical guy waking up in the morning not knowing where he is and fears the retribution when he gets home.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Laying here ‘till morning when the sun comes up
Laying with my face down in the dusty ground
Feeling so hung over on the verge of breakup
I need one more drink. Let’s have another whip round

Verse 2
Cold emotion sems to play us a game
Who am I to criticise and who am I to blame
Here am I where my heart burns so hot
I’m losing my mind. I’m losing the plot

Middle 8
I need a little comfort to keep my heart warm
I need another drink to face the fire storm
‘cause when I come home, the levee will break
The ground will move and the house will shake

Verse 3
I thought about work, but it seems such a chore
Look at the neighbour who’s living next door
Rises at dawn with curtains still drawn
I close my eyes and try to ignore

Verse 4 
I’ll lay down my heart now and lay down my soul
I’m better off living without job control
No cent to my name. Life’s just a card game
We all end up in a six foot hole.

Ideas and thoughts

Another whip round

This song is for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person. As anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist knows, it is incredibly painful. Years can be wasted staying stuck in the relationship triangle of frustration, self-pity or believing you can fix them. When you finally realize that the only way to move forward is to completely cut them out of your life forever you are on the first steps to freedom. Expressing the anger you feel from all the abuse and time wasted is the first step to healing. Hope this song can help you to feel it’s okay to be angry. 

Share this song with someone who needs to hear this.

Lyrics:

Where have I gone
What is left unsaid
What have I left behind
every time I closed my eyes

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side

I’ll let it all go
All the doubt and fear
the pain I kept inside
it wasn’t worth the time

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I lost
None of it ever
materialized

What I thought I knew
just a passing phase
I’ll let it all go
It wasn’t worth the time

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side
Everything is new by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more Nothing was left behind 
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here

Trail Of Redemption - Eric Heitmann Patrick Zelinski & Ryan Dimmock

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

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)

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!
