lovely female vocals too - this is super!!!

Wonderful collab with Philleann and your daughter!  Love the vocals and the arrangement building tension to the end...well done!

Love everything about this - what a great collaboration :)

Nice to meet you Shirley. Thanks for listening and your kind comments. 

Such a nice energy and authentic spirit. 

Such a wonderfully powerful song. Beautifully performed in a superb collaboration. ;)

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

Delighted to have my daughter narrate and my niece Jena join me on vocals. A special thank you to @Philleann for contributing accordion parts and those magical uilleann pipes.     

Set in Ireland in the 1840s, the tale of Cait Ui Challaigh, a widow and mother and a Landlord, Clanricarde who planned to evict them and leave them destitute. A scene played out across Ireland during that period.  

Inspired by the many 'fierce Irish women' throughout Irish History.

I am honored and thrilled to put some orchestration with this beautiful and wrenching Jo Richter poem.(Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches) A big Thanks to Jo and to all you wanderers that pass this way😊
For those that may wonder, a Les Paul, an e-bow, a crybaby, a Zoom fx for the crazy reverb, and a deep mind 6 Synthesizer were employed. 137 bpm


lyrics / copyright jo richter:

wir konnten doch nicht auf kinder schießen
auf alte männer und frauen
wir konnten doch nicht der befehlslust, dem süßen
locken der furcht vertrauen

wir konnten doch nicht mit diesen eigenen händen
kinder und greise töten
hinschlachten, zersieben, erwürgen, schänden
die erde mit herzblut röten

wir konnten doch nicht menschen vernichten
die atmeten wie wir
ihr sprecht von recht, militärgerichten
und letzten worten hier

nun gut, ein einfaches wort vor dem verstummen
ist uns noch gegeben:
wir achten in der verdrehten, krummen
logik des krieges das leben

justification of the deserters

we could not kill children, the elderly
just because we submitted to the satisfaction of following orders and were lured by fear

we could not commit these cruel deeds
with these our own hands

we could not destroy life
breathing like us
you talk about justice, military tribunals
and final words

okay, our final word is this:
in the words logics of war
we honour life

A note from Jo:

Note: The picture is based on a photograph I have taken of an item of art I noticed in the yard of Spielzeugmuseum Nürnberg. Unfortunately, I cannot track the individual - probably pre-adult - creator of this altered traffic sign. It was part of an exhibition on traffic signs for justice. ttps://museen.nuernberg.de/spielzeugmuseum…echtigkeit-2168 To quote that website: " Die Motive basieren auf der internationalen Bildersprache des Straßenverkehrs. Sie sind das Ergebnis der 4. Gipfelkonferenz der Kinder, die 2021 im Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse stattfand. Unter künstlerischer Leitung von Johannes Volkmann entwickelten Kinder und Jugendliche aus aller Welt die Gerechtigkeitsschilder. Sie wollen als internationale Symbole darauf hinweisen, ein gerechteres Zusammenleben zwischen den Menschen und auch der Umwelt anzustreben und zu fördern."

Highway killer

I don’t care about the price of gasoline
I push the pedal to the max
I’m speeding on the left trail and when I see swine
I’m counting on my fast reflex

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The meanest Porsche chiller!

Rolling, rolling over children, mom and dad
Grandma’s rollator was not fast enough
Slow, old pedestrians are driving me so mad
I crush them with a subtle laugh

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The meanest Porsche chiller!

Hunting animals with my radiator-grill
Some trophies hanging on my wall
Who would dare to stop me against my will
I shoot policemen in the head

Out off my way! 
Hear what I say!
Crash into you!

I’m the Highway killer, I’m the Highway killer
The S.U.V. caviller!

Highway Killer

A dark techno/electro EDM track type thing.

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people. 
(Photo taken from a trip on The Bosphorus...the waterway dividing the city's continents.)

Someone In The Shadows

Irish Musician & Singer Songwriter who decided a few years ago to start creating music again after many years of trying to ignore the call. I also decided to post whatever I created somewhere in case anyone cared to listen, even by accident! What I did not envision was finding a community of outstanding musicians, truly world class talent and fantastic people here on SoundCloud.

I never dreamed I would also have the opportunity to create music with some of these amazing people and it has been a true joy to be given the opportunity to work with some of these gifted generous people and make music I am so proud of. 

That’s me.
