Night and Day - Dale Spader Remix

If you so happen to like this, please please give me a like.  

The only thing from the original recording is the vocal, me in 2002.  I've kept the original vocal because I like how I stylised it, though I'm not entirely sure what I was aiming for there, most likely trying to sound like someone - though I can't remember who! 

It's got the benefits of being a voice about 19/20 years younger than the present one!  I'm by no means fallen to pieces, but have a notably different voice at 42 to the one I had at 22! I did try to re record a little piece of the vocal, just a couple of words, won't say which bit, only because it was a lyric I didn't love, but that sadly made the voice difference over 20 years glaringly obvious, because of which I've left the vocal as it was. 

Lyrics

You always tell me that I'm looking fine
I know you know I've got things on my mind
I know I've been lost and, in the freeze,
Been beaten down, the bruises only I can see!

I feel the cold wind cut close to the bone
At times when I feel like I’m on my own
But no, I ‘m still me 
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

You exorcize the things that haunt my soul
Can leap through fire when I’m not alone
But no I'm not brave
My life's another slay
Inner punches by my fist alone
Struggles twine themselves around my throat
But no I'm still me
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Sometimes I feel like there’s just no way out
Feel like my body’s knocked into the ground
I know I seem to have lost all control
My frail image might have lost it’s soul

But I know, still, I won’t go! 

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Oh, The Drama

We all have our demons...
Lyrics;
So cold in the morning
And getting colder every day
He's slipping on his slippers
And slips into the day

He's searching for a bright side
He's keeping his head up
Stormy skies reflect in his eyes
Steam is rising from his coffee cup

The summer ended early
Up and closed the show
Flew out with the blackbirds
Making way for winter snow

And he can't hide his disappointment
Of knowing what he knows
A consequence of being
Where he shouldn't want to go

He can't fill that hollow feeling
It only grows and grows
It's just so hard to get away
From where he shouldn't want to go

Maybe some house cleaning
The carpets and the floors
But he falls into daydreaming
And dreams she's walking through the door

He's talking to himself
Or to the company he lacks
Words echo off the walls
"some day I know she's coming back"

Warm thoughts of another time
Like the pictures on the walls
But just outside there's no one there
And the snow begins to fall

He can't hide the disappointment
Of knowing what he knows
A consequence of being
Where he shouldn't  want to go

He can't fill that hollow feeling
It only grows and grows
It's just so hard to get away
From where he shouldn't want to  go

Where He Shouldn't Want To Go

My Memoir

Mid Jungle In The Afternoon

Ledb

A cherry tree is called "sakura " in Japan. Seasonal changes in the cherry trees are expressed in this song. It consists of three parts.

 I: A shower of falling cherry blossoms.

 II: The season of fresh verdure. The trees have bunches of green cherries.

 III: Calm trees in a fine rain.

  Enjoy the scenery!

  Thank you.

(This is the newly mixed down version of my song "SAKURA macaron Bus".)
