Wasn't expecting this, Jan! This is the kind of angular, heavy tune i could get down to on the dance floor! Enjoyed that.

@jamestristanredding1: Let your freak flag fly!

What energy!  Such a mischievous feel.  I really like the mix.  What do you use to create this?

I LOVE THIS!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! HAMMOND FOREVER!!!

A kaleidoscope of moods and images invoking a flow through an urban nightscape.

-for the Younglings: I love y'all infinity-

another early morning flight
get up before the sunrise
driving through the rain, snow, and fog
everything's clouding over

five states, countless cities 
before i'm by the bay
four hearts left behind
and one that will stay mine

i know that i'll be coming home
in time
even though it seems wild
it's gonna be alright

my loves, oh my loves
my loves, my loves

take me down to the places that i've never been before
and have some new adventures
even though i'm going and coming more than i used to
i'll still be returning home to you

my loves, my loves
my loves, oh my loves

and when you see the stars, you can wish, you can will
and i know that i will be coming home still
promise i will do whatever it takes
see you when morning breaks

my loves, my loves
my loves, oh my loves

My Loves

Horizon Drift with Boiled Potatoes

Under the water
Under the land
Under the flesh on the back of your hand
Beats it like music
spreads it like light
Holds it like lovers in the night

Oh, sing for all your worth
Take heart, take heart, my soul

Out of control [the question]
Out of my mind
Out of the blackness another sunrise 
Beats it like music
Spreads it like light
Holds it like lovers in the night

Rejoice, rejoice, oh earth
your star glows through the cold

Many waters cannot quench love
Neither can the floods drown it
Any price I’d try to buy love
would be utterly despised

Over the rainbow
Over the moon
Over us all in a summer sky blue
Beats it like music
Spreads it like light
Holds it like lovers in the night

Under Out Of Over

a prayer/song for Australia- so many catastrophic fires ablaze right now- please #prayforrain

Beneath the blackened landscape
From mountains to the sea
United by our losses
A new camaraderie
Our tears pour out like the rainfall that we so desperately need 
Our earth is barely breathing 
Our land is on its knees 

We re getting used to darker mornings 
As skies are covered by this veil
No sunrise and no sunset seen
A shroud of smoke prevails 

The loss of life and nature’s home 
Is more than we can bear
And yet we offer all we have 
To ease the burden there 

Our parched and weary firemen 
Have never seen such flame
Cyclonic walls ablaze above
Relentless in its game

They stand defend and fight on through 
Courageous in their quest
To save protect preserve pursue
They never think to rest 

For weeks and months all summer
this metal melting heat 
Has raged and roared through town and trees
Our humbled hearts retreat 

Oh saints rise up and cry
aloud 
and fast and pray for rain 
Oh God of earth and sky and sea
hear our hearts and bring us sweet relief

summer prayer SAW wk1 2020

A composition born out of a Jazz influenced vibe, in the context of a COVID life experience.  As the title implies, this one wanders a bit with a mix of increasing intensity concluding in trailing bliss.
