Heartbeats Of Life

Recorded live during the long hot summer of 2020, a warts and all collection of some of my favourite songs from the past 200 years.
Here's my take on the Bruce Springsteen classic 'Hungry Heart'.

Hungry Heart

We were all made kings tonight just like they said
Leaving our own feet tonight hauled off over head
We go you stay
Take the weight of yesterday	
It’s a new bound fate we’re calling home

For the hours unknown
Finally hold my place my throne
All the power full grown 
How does your king look down from below?

Did we just now dream goodbye?
Believe we did 
Underneath a fallen sky
No roof over head 
We know it’s late
Minds will wonder unafraid
Leave the crown you hold and run back home

King From Below

Sometimes enough is simply enough, but the noise of the city never stops.
When you're tense, any additional sound can become torture.
All that helps is to close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths. 

Thank you all for your support!

This's a song that lamented me who couldn't give any advice to my lost YouTube friends.

#New #Original #Song #Shape #Moon

[Verse 1]
When clouds spring up and it starts to rain
Even if the moon disappears
If you look at the heavens again
That half moon is floating, But
I'm kind of lonely, too lonely
We are the Wanderer of the times
You who are wondering whether to give up
I couldn't find a word to stop
Even if the shape of the moon can be predicted
The flow of the times is unpredictable
An event that I never thought of happened
As far as I'm concerned

[Chorus]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

[Verse 2]
When clouds spring up and it starts to rain
Even if the moon disappears
If you look at the heavens again
That half moon is floating, But
It's a little sad, too sad, oh
We are lonely Wanderer
To you standing against the wall
I couldn't even reach out
Even if the shape of the moon can be predicted
The flow of the times is unpredictable
An event that I never thought of happened
As far as I'm concerned

[Chorus]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

[Outro]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

Shape Of The Moon

Autumn

Something more traditional/folksy I've been chipping away at for a bit, struggling to flesh it out with more instrumentation. However, the more I listen to its currently bare-cupboard, acoustic vocals+piano arrangement, maybe it's simply *meant* to remain rough and rudimentary?

So please pay no attention to the little finger flubs here and there, and just let yourself get washed over by the orange waves of the Northumberland Strait, where I grew up and where my childish heart still beats.

***

Orange waves crash then go
Stealing sand with its ebb and flow
Holes dotting cliffsides' red clay
Where the swallows sleeping lay

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

Island smiles from across the way
Thin dark line splits Strait and sky
It flickers ghostly, hovers fey
Once Ile Saint-Jean, now PEI

Each flat stone we throw from the beach
With dreams to skip, perhaps to fly
All doomed to sink, the island never reached
Drowning jealous of the driftwood swimming by

As full moon flirts with blushing tide
Salt waters sink and sandbars swell
Before they change their minds and hide
I take their path to Mount Carmel

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
Trois-Ruisseaux

The "Croisière du monde", our collaborative album in progress with Roberto B (@user-55822457 and @robertoiib) that focuses on film music but with much variation and cross-genre influences, gains speed today with its 3rd track, "La tempête" - or, in English translation, "The Storm". We hope you'll enjoy it, as it seems to have been the case with the preceding two tracks in this album here on SoundCloud.

The track was created in collaboration on 29 September and 10 October 2021 (initial and subsequent mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B), 9 and 13 October 2021 (intermediate and further additions, mix and recording in GarageBand and Logic Pro by Alex M) and 14 October 2021 (final recording and mix in Logic Pro by Alex M), and posted on SC on 15 October 2021 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the album and all its constituent tracks was designed and implemented by Alex M on 29 June 2021 (in Tayasui Sketch in Mac OS), cropped by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 30 June 2021, and annotated with text by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 2 October 2021 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

Thank you so much, Roberto - for the beautiful musical ideas that inspire again our new collaborations in this ongoing "musique de film" - and more - album, "Croisière du monde"!

Duration: 8:04 minutes

I LOOK FOR YOU
(c) JunkHeap Apr 06 2022 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

Sometimes the days wear me down.  
I'm looking outside,
see my reflection in the window.
Furrowed brow and worrying  
etching its lines.
   
The world it turns and burns,
seems like it'll always be this way.
Hope shines bright through the clouds, 
as we wish for a better day.

I look for you.
I see your face in the crowd. 
Her eyes call to me, 
and we meet and 
hold each other so close. 
I feel your warmth.
See the throngs of people
moving like a wake around us;
in the ordered chaos, 
we save each other from it all.

ch. / break

My pillar of sanity, is you.
I look for you 
to whittle away the time 
on this insane ride.
Laughter and I get you.
We're past the pleasantries.
So many great days behind,
so many ahead.
So many great days ahead.

I look for you.

I Look For You

Rich Man Lyrics

This one is called Rich Man. In our last song, the poor man was trying to get by with limited funds. In this one, our hero is just enjoying life with whatever he can. He's happy just living life.

Lyrics;
I walk in old shoes
Drive on old wheels
Don't have much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that's getting me by
Got two feet on the ground
And my Head in the sky

I travel lightly
Not much to my name
But I've got all I need
Just the same
I'm a rich man

Wherever I'm at
Is where I want to be
And I'm living my life
Like this world's made for me
I'm a rich man

I have my friends
And my family
They're all the best people
And they're rich just like me


I've traveled the highways
In sunshine and rain
Slept in a boxcar
Of many a train
I've loved and lost
And I still feel the pain
But life is for living
And I can't complain

I don't need a thing
To prove my success
Nobody out there
I need to impress
But I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that gets me by
Two feet on the ground
My head in the sky

I might walk in old shoes
and drive on old wheels
Not much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I'm a rich man
a rich man
a rich man ...

Rich Man

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!
