Viewing the sunset while sitting near the waterfront with a relaxed piano melody in your head...it's just an imagination of a feeling 🎶

Shores Of Serenity

A new composition with a theme of meeting up with old friends after years gone by....

Lyrics

After all these years
We meet and talk again
Catching up on a distant past
That seemed like only yesterday


We chose our different paths
The future unknown
Life's twists and turns
Leaving us on our own


Seems like only yesterday
Regrets of what could have been
Paths diverged, memories stay
But maybe we'll meet again


Time may have changed us
But the memories remain
In the corners of our minds
A connection that will never wane



As we part ways once more
Let's hold on to these memories
For in those moments, we shared
Our friendship will forever last.

After All These Years (Remaster)

Cueva de Valparaiso

Coming back from Spain in early January my memories were full of the great sites and flamenco musicians I had seen. So I picked up my Flamenco guitar again and recorded this track. A blend of Granaína, a flamenco style from Granada, and Bolero. The opening is a solo improvisation after which the track begins with two guitars trading off. Hope you'll enjoy!

Original music written and arrangement for two acoustic guitars by Daniël van den Berg, January 2025.

Guitar: Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015 
Recorded using an Apogee MiC. 
Mixed in Auria, masterered in Auria and Final Touch

I found this ratchet handle does a decent job on slide so used it for this tune.
Bass from my Kona dreadnought and 1928 Gibson A2 mandolin, 
slide on 1945 Martin 0-18, with first string missing, small E, Too lazy to put new one on so tried slide with only 5 strings, interesting doing it that way.

My Purpose

A new composition.....

Lyrics:

Woke up to a dream where the sun met the dawn
But the shadows linger on, like memories that are drawn
We are walking on this edge, where the silence meets the sound
Lost in a lost world will we ever be found

I trace the lines of stories that are written in the sand
With hearts that are searching for the guiding hand
Storms rage above us, but we will take the gentle rain
Every teardrop teaches us to accept the pain

Drifting through the blue and gray
Once upon, and every day
Gray the clouds that follow us
Blue the skies that set us free
Drifting, drifting, like feathers in the air
Caught in a world of blue and gray

At this moment, we hope to find our way
Through the shades of color which are blue and gray
Let the wind carry us, so our dreams may align
In the blue and in the gray, will we have the time
                                                            
So here we wander, through the gray
In this endless dance of blue, through each and every day
Drifting in the colors, where our souls can play
In these shades of blue and gray may we find our way

Prompt: You and Me

they say this love is for you and me, 
my dear
guess that would be all good and well if 
i knew who you were here
are you a fragment of someone's imagination
just to poke fun
and this life i've been living 
all alone

are you real, or are you 
some fantasy lore
will i find you in the heavens or
or six feet 'neath the floor
and i don't know if you're real
or some ghost of love that's past
i don't know what to say
or am i just being crass

all i said is i'm doubting it
now i suppose, i should be waiting on it
waiting on you

all the psychics and 
tarot readers
they've told i'd find you again
but their predictions 
have been wrong
for over seven years and 
they're still going strong

i don't know who 
i'm supposed to be
searching for
don't think i 
can find you 
somebody 
someone
the blind's leading the blind

and i don't know if i... i am past my time
and i'm tired of people saying,
"it'll happen when you don't expect it, right?"
just leave me in peace
i've had enough of the
unsolicited encouragement
i'm doing just fine 
i'm content

oh, i,
i am fine
oh, i
have peace of mind

You and Me Will Have Peace of Mind

Scream Out Loud (Spacey Version*)

Copyright Erin Wolf 2025
*Contains a more distinctly spacey vibe to it - peep "Scream Out Loud (Erin's Version) for a more mellow experience)

caught in the quiet sounds fading
voices weaker as the day goes longer
caught in unknown space

how do we reckon when we fall from grace
when we fall from all we know
and land square on our face

how
how

fade away into the ether
no one knows and nor i do either
'cuz i couldn't find the words escaped me

silenced by my body 
riddled with antibodies
trying to fight infection away

stress and cortisol 
pumping like adrenaline
trying to keep you at bay

hey
keeping you at bay

couldn't find the words
to tell you that
it's time to disappear

and i didn't know how
without unleashing the beast
feral and wild

how do you push away a nightmare that 
just won't take a hint
and let you have peace in your waking hours

and how, when the voice keeps fading out
to next to nothing
how do you scream out loud

scream
out 
loud

scream
out
loud

Running Out of Time
2025 The Nashville-Wisco 24 - 25
Copyright Erin Wolf 2025

i heard i'm running out of time
running out of time tonight
almost time for curtain calls
and final bows

and i heard that what Taylor said was
the life of a show girl
but i live in the wings
i ain't the main attraction

you all know my voice
but you wouldn't put that faction
in time
in time

one step in front 
of the other
as we're making our way
back to the safe house

chains on the swings outside
are rusty
they, too, have turned
with time

and i 
i don't know
don't know

'scuse me, sir
do you ahve the time
do you know where i should go
to next

'scuse me, ma'am
where do i end 
where do you 
begin

just like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hide
we could your true colors
and faces outside

you don't hide
as well as you think
that i could 
but i ain't scared of you

scared of 
you
