Can't decide which version I like the best but know that both should be in an epic cowboy movie!😊

Great tune!! It really throw you back to those years!! Congrats!!

Because of the current situation, I decided to rearrange a Ukrainian folk song. I am sorry to see all these pictures and the victims of this unnecessary war.  I think that especially in such difficult moments, music can provide a moment of peace. War has never been a solution and never will be! The folk song is a Ukrainian lullaby and is called "Oy Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon" (The Dream Passes By The Window)

Stand With Ukraine

THANK YOU to some narcissistic guitarist for this opportunity along with AUDIUS!

Addicts on every level
When they feel good, They never settle
They want more of that feeling
Appeal keeping them reeling 
Deep lines lacking in meaning
-
Exceeding all expectations.
Expanding borders 
on sovereign nations.
Complacency teaming,
In spaces between me n,
All of the forest and all of the trees,
And all of the seas, 
dung beetles and bees,
The babies to be, 
unborn and unseen,
The souls that are lost,
The trades and the costs,
The spoils or the bounties,
The coils in the counties,
The lethal injections,
Unsettling projections,
Protecting the notions,
The Navy, the Oceans,
Promotion. 
Promotional marketing. 
Corporate greed and 
ad-word targeting.
Data sales, data mines.
Data jails for data times.
Dad I’m sorry, I’m not crying.
The world it hurt me, 
but I’m not dying.
The world it threw me, 
but I’m not flying.
Just Trying to stay stable.
Thoroughly bred to 
feed others at the table.
Blinders on to avoid 
others on the cable.
A label? A fable.
Stories, scriptures, lies 
filled with swear words.
Fuck.
Swear now, sworn in, 
square jaw, too thin.
Too raw, too soft, 
knocked out, bashed in.
Ration, nation, tactics, bacon.
War dogs, war pigs, 
warthogs, more kids.
Generation, x, why, boom, bye.
Tombs, cries, boots, flies.
Mud, blood, fear, and bravery.
Keeping us safe from 
living in slavery.
History, cycles, 
news flash, rifles.
Stifling all of us 
calling on idols.
Shit
Idea Eyes
Idealized isolation, consternation, masturbation.
Masses mutilated, 
masses brooding hatred.
Masses casting caskets
Rackets made white wearing leather jackets 
Acting like asshatted … 
-
Ad dicks on every level
When they feel good, They never settle
They want more of that feeling
Appeal keeping them reeling 
Deep lines lacking in meaning

Lyrics:

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a boozy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody’s happy now, pandemic faded, no one’s invaded,
Everybody’s happy now, talk of recession, was just a bull session,
Everybody’s really happy now, peace in the Ukraine, 
feeding the world again,
Everybody’s happy now and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a maudlin song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody’s happy now, Putin deposed, corruption exposed and
Everybody’s happy now, the Orange One’s in prison, 
the truth has arisen,
Everybody’s really happy now, 
every autocrat forced to use the laundromat,  
Everybody’s happy now, and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a tipsy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Yeah you know we’re only dreamin’
But singin’ out a song is a better cure than screamin’
You know that we’ll get by,
Pretending to be happy bids the blues bye-bye.

Everybody’s happy now, energy retoolin’ so the climate is coolin’, 
Everybody’s happy now, 
we saved all the critters from becoming fritters,
Everybody’s really happy now, 
‘cause human rights have finally hit the heights
Everybody’s happy now, and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Yeah you know we’re only dreamin’
But singin’ out with flare beats pullin’ out your hair
You know that we’ll get by,
Pretending to be happy bids the blues bye-bye.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a woozy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.
Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ an intoxicated song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.
“La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody's Happy

My Mama, used to say, don’t be rude, better keep cool,
People aren’t that bad, sometimes stupid, often cupid.

I went to school, but not for long, guess what the teacher told me,
 you aren't that good, you ‘d better write a song.

My Mama, used to say...

I went to the doctor, cause I got knots in my throat, guess what he told me,
 you’re safe and sound, you‘d better sing a song.

A song for lovers, a song for lost soul,
A song for dreamers, a song for those who aren’t yet whole
Song for lovers, song for lovers, song for lovers
Song for dreamers, song for dreamers, song for dreamers.

My Mama, used to say, ...

I went to the army, guess what the sergeant told me
you are too dumb, to carry a gun, you ‘d better write a song.

My Mama, used to say, ...

I went to school, didn’t stay there long,
Guess what the teacher told me, you aren’t that smart,
You ‘d better write a song.

A song for lovers, ...

I went to the navy, guess what the captain told me,
You drink too much rhum to carry a gun, you ‘d better write a song.

A song for lovers, ...

My Mama, used to say, don’t be rude, better keep cool,
People aren’t that bad, sometimes stupid, often cupid.

Blues song

Blues Song

This was a lot of fun to do. It started as an ambient guitar e-bow thing and became somthing very different. The audio is from a 1962 radio broadcast "The Doom Machine". Funny but at the same time relavant.

Among the Willows (Acoustic Version) - Patrick Zelinski and Eric Heitmann

CHORUS:

I could have swore that I was dreaming
How can a nightmare come true
Never alone when I am scheming
Somehow to rid myself of you

VERSE 1

Somehow I find her through all of the madness
A brilliant vision of truth
That’s all I wanted that’s all I can handle
That’s why I must rid myself of you

CHORUS

VERSE 2 

There’s not an answer 
That solves all my problems
For how can I focus the sub?
I can’t talk sense into 
This Morpheus Madness
He must believe I’m still in love.


BRIDGE

We are rearranging
Times forever changing
IF I had known how bad you were I 
Wouldn’t mind estranging

As it were you lied to me when you said you were true. 
And I was just a lonely boy
Whatever could I do?

So life is hard and I know why
My life’s hard cause of you
Cuz I was free before I met you
And upon review

The only thing you ever gave me:
Mountains of regret
But I still have a little time
And it’s not over yet.

I could have swore that I was screaming
When I woke up right next to you
This is a nightmare I’m not dreaming
I couldn’t rid myself of you

In Dreams

An impassioned romantic encounter with a sexy latin groove.

Il Cicca - Occhi sanpaku

The third in a trilogy which highlights my musical journey, where, in the future my albums will be made as mixed genre 

A former San Francisco 49er Offensive Lineman, Eric now composes and produces music in the epic, cinematic, and ambient genres. His compositions are, by design, ultra melodic and follow a hybrid orchestral style similar to film composers Hans Zimmer and James Horner, and epic cinematic artist Two Steps From Hell.

Eric lives in Austin, TX, with his wife Emily and their two young daughters, both aspiring musicians :) 

Thanks for listening everyone!  Such a wonderful community here on Soundcloud!
