Fantasia

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

Just to see you

Lyrics
Verse 1
One last flight
I think I’ll check my vital signs
Before I strap in for the ride
And in my mind
You’re the fear I cannot hide
When I’m flying across the sky

Refrain 1
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again

Verse 2
Enemy lines
I think I’ll drop my last goodbye
and find my way back to you
I can’t un-see 
All the things you made me be
I’m coming home back to you

Refrain 2
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again

Outro
One last flight
One last flight
And I’ll see you, AGAIN
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again
One last flight, Again
Just to see you, AGAIN
Just to see you, AGAIN

Just to see you (ft. The Gatsbys)

SAD RIVER- DOUG ROOSSIEN /Music & Mastered NO KILLIE FISH 
@johnnymc2 ,...Johnny McFarlane May 25, 2022

I used …to feel your passion… running through my veins 
like horses full of freedom, we were runners in the rain 
Been trying too hard to hold you but my walls just made you run 
It only made your waters rush and your borders come undone 

First day of September, I started loving  
Like rivers full of passion, our colors every hue 
Came the whites of winter, and the quiet of the fires 
Kept the love light burning with your rivers, rivers of desires 

(CHORUS)
You  know …Nothing can hold …sad river      
Nothing can stop that river run … 
Nothing can hold… hold …sad river 
Ain’t no canyon on this earth, big enough, to hold my love 

My tears are falling down like water from this well 
I need to learn to swim before I drown myself 
The ashes from our fire all washed up on the shore
When she hurts sad river, she don’t run , don’t run to me no more 

(CHORUS)
You know, Nothing, can hold …sad river      
Nothing can stop that river run … 
Nothing can hold… hold …sad river 
Ain’t no canyon on this earth, big enough, to hold my love 

I used to feel your passion, running through my veins  
like horses full of freedom,  we were runners in the rain 

(Sad river) Chorus ~ Instrumental …
Ain’t no canyon on this earth, big enough 
Ain’t no canyon on this earth, big enough, to hold my love 

(Final tag)
My tears are falling down like water from this well 
I need to learn to swim before I drown myself …
In Sad River, Sad River, Sad …River, Sad River

 Johnny McFarlane Rocked out on this backing track I’ve waited for since I wrote this song in 2015
For two years SAD RIVER was pretty much the one song I would always play at open mics, and with other musicians so I was really excited when Johnny agreed to do this
Love working with Johnny …he has really helped me get this recording process down , we did Never Sailed Goodbye previous to this   https://soundcloud.com/doug-roossien/never-sailed-goodbye-mastered-featuring-no-killie-fish

Since I bought my new ZOOM portable recorder …So many un-recorded or less than productions that he is making it possible to learn the ways of utilizing my equipment before my voice is completely gone…
Please visit him at his music …he’s so versatile sensitive and powerful both.

SAD RIVER - DOUG ROOSSIEN /Music & Mastered - NO KILLIE FISH

February 2023 DIAMC prompt was to write a song inspired by a name, which was to be included within the title. 

Yesterday I sat down, wrote and recorded, this song about - and for - my beautiful almost, almost always friend. We met when I was 9 and she was 10. 


Gwendoline

Northern lights watched late, from garage roof
Swung on swings with Walkmans, in our youth
Oh my darlin’, times were simpler then

There’ve been darker days, tears amongst laughter
Can’t stay kids for ever, and after
Oh my darlin’, growing up can hurt bad
 
I just hope that I always had your back

Wish I still took time and wrote more letters
To have and hold, with love from sender
Cos my darlin’, you know I’m really glad

All  these years you’ve been there for me too
The  lovely  things you say,  and that you do
Oh my darlin’, you’re the friend I’ve almost, almost, always had

Through all the good and bad
The happy and the sad
Lucky to have Gwendoline

If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you fall
If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you’re falling

Thank you from my heart Debbie for this great JOY it is to work together with you,
and thank you so much for your friendship.

Regrets.

Hear the whispers
Of the falling leaves
When i write the words
I will never speak
A few unspoken words
Appear like falling leaves

No heart would seek regret
But I hold it`s hand
And i will not forget
Sweet autumn fields
That lingers in my mind

A few undspoken words
Appears like falling leaves
At other times they wildly fly
Until they reach the sky

Regrets. Debra Buesking and Oddrun Eikli

TAKES A LONG LIFE TO GET WISER
AND THEN YOU'LL GROW OLD AND FEEL TIRED
A POT OF GOLD IS IN THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW WONT SHINE ON YOU,  ANYMORE

TAKE THE ROAD TAKE THE LONG WAY
AROUND WE GO ANOTHER NEW DAY
MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

(chorus)
EVERYDAY     EVERY-DAY
EVERYDAY     IN EVERY WAY

IT'S SOMETIMES ROUGH IT'S SOMETIMES LONELY
THE ANGRY SKY IT FEELS CRAZY
THE POT OF GOLD IS ON THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW IT SHINES FOR YOU 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

EVERYDAY I CAN WAIT
I CAN SEE PAST TOMORROW
EVERYDAY I CAN PLAY
IN MY HEAD I THINK I'M DREAMING

MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

EVERYDAY

image designed by mr cagey

If I were to paint a portrait of you,
layer upon layer oil mixed with dew.
Canvas part torn weathered and worn,
a wondrous reflection resplendent in colour.

If I were to sculpture in marble or stone.
Alabaster skin flawless in tone.
A peachy complexion a hint of rouge,
lines to be seen more than a laughter or two.

If I were a poet my sonnet to you,
would flow from my heart that’s been battered and bruised.
Words on page of passion and rage,
an inky endorsement of love and of hate.

Ohhh, let it go now, I need to have some peace of mind.
Ohhh, let it go now,
find myself a release, that finally sets me free.
From all the confusion, downright delusion,
turmoil swirling around, inside me brain.

of love & of hate

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away

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!
