Here is an oldie song that I've always liked, I learned this from an old guy on you tube who is a very talented guitarist, it was a fun and nostalgic song to play. Aker Bilk on the original plays some beautiful clarinet. Here is the YT video cover. https://youtu.be/fXvmK6sOGqk?si=PMx__M3P4eSYnWRn

Stranger On The Shore (Cover)

Desert Glow

This is a story about the music in my head
This is the soundtrack to a book I never read
Are you an impostor, guilty of future crimes?
Or just an innocent bystander, trying to think of a rhyme
You saw me dancing and thought I was insane
Because you couldn’t hear the music in your freshly washed brain
Do you want to survive in the jungle or exist in a zoo?
I know how I feel, how about you?

You Saw Me Dancing And Thought I Was Insane

Heads...or...or...hmm...Mongoose?!?!

Introduction in English:
For many, November is the worst month. I particularly like it because it is the month that best expresses the Buddhist mantra of "And the end is the beginning". In November, almost all the trees are bare and most plants have faded. But in this "destruction" lies the seed of new life. 
November is the month that most clearly demonstrates that we sometimes have to radically let go of beliefs and attitudes that no longer help us move forward so that we can reposition ourselves and continue to develop.
And this month also makes it clear that we must fully accept dying and death as facts in order to keep the flywheel of life, which goes far beyond us, running. 
At the age of 60, I am still in the "October of life". However, October is already knocking strongly on the door of the unstoppable transformation processes that reach their climax in November. 
The song "Autumn is here" summarises these thoughts in the form of a French chanson. I chose this form because, in my view, the French language and the genre of the chanson come closest to the basic existential themes of life.

Lyrics in English (For those, who don’t speak French)

Autumn is here

Everything falls, nothing holds
Nothing stands, it's already late
The green turns gray, the weather wet and rough
The flock of birds moves away into the warm blue

This morning I was full of energy
Tonight I'm tired
My garden of life will soon be withered
One little spark still glows
That still drives me and pulls me forward 

Autumn is here
The gray hair
Lies damp in the drain sieve

Autumn is here
The cataract
looks at me in the mirror

The fields are bare
The faces pale
The tree trunk breaks
In the middle of the poem

The clock runs down
The meadow lies fallow

The car groans
The eye runs and tears

The children look pityingly
The morning sun grins
Nothing you can gain 
Gain
The raven peeks
Around the corner, nods at you

Französischer Originaltext:

L'automne est là

Oui, tout tombe
Rien qui tienne
Il n'y a plus rien
C'est déjà tard

Le vert devient gris
Le temps humide et rude
La nuée d'oiseaux 
S'en va vers le bleu chaud

Ce matin, j'étais à fond
Ce soir, je suis fatigué
Le jardin de ma vie 
va bientôt se faner

Une dernière étincelle brille
qui me pousse et m'entraîne en avant

L'automne est là
Les cheveux gris
Se trouve dans le siphon

L'automne est là
La cataracte se rapproche
Me regarde dans le miroir
L'automne est là

Les champs sont nus
Les visages sont pâles
Le billot se brise
Au cœur du récit

L'horloge retarde
Le fond du pré est en friche
La voiture gémit
Les yeux sont pleins de pus

Les enfants regardent avec pitié
Le soleil matinal se moque de toi
Il n'y a rien d'autre que tu puisses gagner
Le corbeau regarde 
Au coin et il te fait un signe de tête

L'automne est la (Autumn is here)

Beet It Back-Mostly Acoustic Version

Beet It Back (Yams Work To)

Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
It doesn’t matter
If you’re weak or strong
It doesn’t matter
If it’s right or wrong
It doesn’t matter
If you bang a gong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Hey!
It doesn’t matter
If they string you along
It doesn’t matter
If you’re too headstrong
It doesn’t matter
Is you sing this song
It doesn’t matter
If she says so long
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without any nets
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without a net
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong

Wherever You Are, That's Where You Belong

Stay Within The Lines

HELLO ALL, I'VE NOT BEEN ACTIVE ON THE CLOUD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I SHALL HOPEFULLY BE PRODUCTIVE IN THE FUTURE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN UPLOADING JAM TRACKS ON YT https://www.youtube.com/@Heavenlyvine. ONCE I AM CREATING ORIGINAL MUSIC AGAIN I SHALL START SHARING MY WORK. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE VISITED, MUCH APPRECIATED :)))
I've been writing original songs for a number of years now and recently started adding some acoustic covers, it gives me a nice feeling to know that other musicians and listeners give their time to listen to my humble offerings, so thanks to you all in advance for giving up your valuable time to check out my musical creations. 

My Sound cloud name "Heavenly Vine" was taken from the first song that I wrote called "Timeline" it seemed like the perfect way to conjure up an artist name for this great musical platform.

When I started writing music I took inspiration from my family as I wanted to leave some sort of legacy when I've shuffled off this mortal coil, what better legacy than a musical one.

All of the original music that I have created on this page has come from my heart and soul and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to know that someone might get some pleasure from my music, especially loved ones.

It's great to be part of this great musical community, we may be many minnows in a huge pond but together we make up one huge fish.   

Best wishes to all.
