@sunnidayz: actually Ems did the first cover of mine and probably oneof the first covers shedid...she also did some backgroundfor sierra...andI had asked her on several projects...BUT...

@michelle-eaton: thank you michele...part of my i mean business plan...thanks for listening to my song so superly  sung song...Ems the greatest...I have asked her to put me on Chtistmas list...and she didn't come out and say I was a bad boy yet

Good work on this one. Very pretty vocals. Added to my favorites.

great lyrics..'polish your disguise', I love Emma's voice. :)

Looks like I missed this the first time around. I think I have heard you perform this though Doug because the song sounds familiar. Really terrific song Doug as your songs always are and Boy is Ems doing an incredible job with it. Gorgeous! :))

how's this still in the B list??? this is most def A material - Emma's vocals and harmonies are insanely good, lyrics are terrific, strings are perfect - romantic, sad, with a touch of teasing that makes the track a masterpiece :) 

collaborations with and by other artists for my lyrics....
most of these songs were recorded originally by me.
and can also be found on my soundcloud
please let me know iy you are interested in doing
collaborations.. on many of my material...

LYRICS
As she picks up the pieces 
Her heart rate decreases 
She tried to catch her breath and find her feet 
Walking through each day fast asleep 

As the wind took their ashes 
Her stomach sick from sadness 
The sweetest angel came down to earth 
Now broken 14 years from birth 

As she moves on from the fourth
Tested by a familiar unknown force 
She tries to heal her wings and get some rest 
When the tide is in she always feels her best

As the wind took their ashes 
Her stomach sick from sadness 
The sweetest angel came down to earth 
Now broken 14 years from birth

IT HURTS ME (Lyrics)
Intro
V 1
Along my way -
I´ve been hurt.
Too many times.
Enough is enough.

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out – the devil in me!

V 2
You`ve made a -
fool of me.
My mind has died.
I dont´t feel free.

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out……..

Bridge
The walls did not hold up.
Nothing will stop him.
What`s happening? 
I wan`t see!
The devil has come out of me!

Chorus
So I built walls  - around me.
Now listen guys, - this hurts me.
Do not challenge him – please let it be!
You bring out – the devil in me!

Outro
You bring out – the devil in me. It´s too late, he´s in me.
You bring out – the devil in me. It´s too late,

It hurts me

It Hurts Me

This song was recorded as a collaboration between two home studios. My friend Greg Bartlett played drums. My friend Dean Constance played bass.

The Serpent & The Bellman

Japanese Child

Part 1 of a part 2 album - "Forest - The Start of a Journey". Inspired by the sounds of the forest.

I took many walks through the woods recording found sounds, along with photographs of unique aspects of the forest, combining them with compositions which I felt were fitting to the theme. A fun project with part 2 "Forest - The Long Walk Home" coming in the near future.

For the best listening experience, each track should be played in order as there is some overlay from previous tracks leading into the next one, in order to give it the feel of a concept album.

Album composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by myself, available on Spotify and all good streaming platforms.

Wilderness

The Lantern Fouling the Brittle Air, Listening to the Dog and the Echo

Tiptoes on the stairs
I can hear it in the hall
Through the old curtains 
And it's climbing down the wall

Where it goes I go with it 
And that is that
Where it goes I go with it 
And that's just that

Dusty twilight
I can feel it in my bones
Lurking in corners
Cause it knows where it belongs

Where it goes I go with it 
And that is that
Where it goes I go with it 
And that's just that

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

Where it goes I go with it 
And that is that
Where it goes I go with it 
And that's just that

It has a secret
No one can ever know
Out of the shadows
Always one hell of a show

And it knows I go with it 
Cause that's just that
It's through me it's living it 
And that is that

And it knows I go with it 
Cause that's just that
It's through me it's living it 
And that is that

La la la la la la la feel it in my bones
La la la la la cause it knows where it belongs

La la la la la la la feel it in my bones
La la la la la la la la la la laa

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!
