Vatra moje glazbe

This song I wrote in 2022 during the pandemic and it's about how little time we have on this earth, we're gone at a drop of a hat. I made the middle 8 into a waltz to show a time shift of about 200 years, how we were then and how we are now. I gave the verses a prog feel, like YES a little, and I had a time clock ticking away in the background. Everything can't be a love ballad or a Wildcat Bounce, you know! I also produced a video that's really cool, it will be on YouTube next month or so. https://youtu.be/o2BNNb7EgQU
So get out and play people now before it's too late! Cheers!🍻

“SO LITTLE TIME”

OUT OF THE BLUE, SUDDENLY YOU ARE BORN,
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, YOU'RE WITHERED, TATTERED, AND TORN,
IT ALL GOES BY SO QUICKLY,  
LIFE JUST PASSES YOU BY,             
ONE DAY YOU'RE YOUTHFUL AND STRONG, 
THE NEXT DAY YOU DIE, BYE-BYE, BABY, BYE-BYE,

JUST YESTERDAY, ALL WAS SHINY AND NEW,
WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST, IT'S NOW TAKEN FROM YOU,
PLEASE TELL ME THE REASON? 
TELL ME WHAT WAS MY CRIME?
TO BE BORN IN A WORLD WITH SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,

A DANCE IN THE MOONLIGHT,
WHERE LOVERS ARE FOUND,
TYING THE KNOT, SETTLING DOWN,  
FROM YOUR WIFE'S WARM EMBRACE,
INTO THE COLD GROUND,
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ALL BOUND,
(CAN YOU DIG IT?)
     
NOT LONG AGO, A KID KICKING THE CAN,
AT A DROP OF A HAT, NOW A WORN-OUT OLD MAN,  
IT WAS GONE IN AN INSTANT,
SOMEHOW LESS SUBLIME,
SO MUCH LEFT TO DO WITH SO LITTLE TIME, 
SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME.

A lot of parts are needed to make it work. But only some add the sauce.

This song is a collaboration with Robec The Genius, it's an old jazz song that I co-wrote a while back, Robec wrote new lyrics for it and sang it beautifully. I thought it sounded great, Robec added a very smooth vocal and changed the melody so now we have a new song. I produced a video for it as well and is now posted on YouTube -  https://youtu.be/3hYOBgQcUzE
     So sit back, relax, have a drink or your choice of relaxing aide, cuddle with your favorite person or pet and let Robec and I serenade you tonight! 🥂

“THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU”

SOME DAYS AND SOME NIGHTS, I HAVE DREAMS OF WHAT WE COULD BE,
IN WAYS THAT FEEL RIGHT, I CAN TELL IT’S MEANT WHAT TO BE,
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, 
THAT THERE’S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CREATE,  
JUST GO HOW IT SHOWS, 
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO CAN WAIT,             
    
YOU’RE TRAPPED IN MY MIND, EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE,
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,      

EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT, I THINK OF THE TIME,
YOU MAKE ME SO WEAK, HEART POUNDING TOO FAST,
BABY SAY THAT YOU’RE MINE, 
SEE YOU AWAY DOES SOMETHING TO ME,
THAT IT FEELS LIKE A CRIME,
LOCKED IN TOGETHER FROM DOWN TO THE ROOTS,
PLEASE DON’T YOU CUT THE VINE,

OH YOU’RE STILL IN MY MIND, EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE,
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,

3)  [LEAD]

OH YOU’RE STILL IN MY MIND,
EVERY DETAIL FROM HEAD TO YOUR TOE, 
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND, BUT THAT’S HOW YOU GLOW,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,    
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU,
NO OTHER THAN YOU, NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME,
THE MANY THOUGHTS OF YOU.
