This piece is really cheerful and careless. It really makes you smile. Really fit for a scene in The Gods Must Be Crazy 😊

What a peaceful, cheerful and danceable (short) track, Joaquim! True, unusual - mais légère musique - et sympa !

beautiful, fit to the title, great atmosphere !!!

Lyrics:

So I, light the fire in the stone
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads 

And I let fools run into my mind 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, call the actor to the throne, 
Let them lie, and keep the diamonds for their own 

They couldn’t rest, until they reaped what I had sown 
Another day, without the harvest I had grown 

And I let fools run into my mind, 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, light the fire in the stone, 
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads

Fortress

“ Rustic Bell “  by Luke 

A fun piece.. this is similar to my “In The House” track

“Rustic Bell”  by Luke

We sit together at the table,
Tension trembling in our tone.
Words clash like blades in battle,
My heart could break alone.
This round, I may have won a little,
But joy is far from mine—
Your eyes have long betrayed the truth:
You’re nearing your last line.

Everything whole has shattered, and now I just don’t know—
Will we still be living tomorrow, when silence takes control…
…of all our soul.

You say nothing, just stare in silence,
It’s disarming, that’s for sure.
And in your gaze I see it clearly—
You’re not listening anymore.
I sit again beside this table,
Alone, just me and one regret:
That once I may have won a moment,
But it’s all I now have left.

Everything whole has shattered, and now I just don’t know—
Will we still be living tomorrow, when silence takes control…
…of all our soul.


HU.../

Ülünk ketten az asztal mellett,
hangunkban némi indulat.
Szavak vívnak véres harcot 
a szívem majd megszakad.
Az ütközetben most kicsit győztem,
de nem vagyok ezért túl vidám.
Szemedből már régen látom, hogy nem bírod tovább.

Minden egész összetört, és most nem tudom mi lesz.
Holnap talán újra élünk, de túl nagy a csend...
...ami lelkünkben lett.

Nem szólsz semmit csak nézel némán,
Ez zavarba ejtő nem vitás.
Szemedből most tényleg látom, 
hogy nem is figyelsz már rám. 
Ülök újra az asztal mellett, 
egyedül vagyok, s egy gonolat,
hogy egyszer talán kicsit győztem
ez emléknek megmarad.

Minden egész összetört, és most nem tudom mi lesz.
Holnap talán újra élünk, de túl nagy a csend...
...ami lelkünkben lett.

Minden eltörött / Everithing whole has shatteref

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

Das Kind im Schatten  -(Final Rev. Ed.)-

Moonrise (Inst.)

maybe it's just me, but the end of summer has always felt like someone suddenly flipped a switch and changed everything overnight. the light, the air, the mood, everything. of course, there's this spectacularly beautiful transition called indian summer in canada and north america, and simply "herbst" here. but the beginning of this magnificent end always feels abrupt to me. recently, it happened again. just like when I was a child, I felt a sense of melancholy, as if it were a permanent farewell. maybe for it will actually be that way. someday.

anyway, in 1981, I had the bizarre idea of writing a musical. I was attracted by the complex challenge. but, above all, it was because I had always been immensely impressed by the musicals of the 60s and 70s: just freaking divine melodies, usually too dramatic, playful and operetta-like for radio.

I got started and wrote a musical about mice (while in london someone way more talented was creating one about cats;-) of course, autumn had to play a role, with all the feelings I associate with it, which I also attribute to mice. scene: two mice sitting together, watching a beautiful sunset, one of them starts singing and dancing.

over the past 40 years, I have reinterpreted the theme of this special part countless times (just example in the case of massive curiosity: ( https://youtu.be/az0T2Uzkgk0?si=QLOK4hJ5i5GcsDbr ), but it has only now become a song with the vocals written once.

I’d also like to share the very first sketch on the subject, once recorded in my band's rehearsal room with a working text. we shared the room with a keyboardist with an unimaginable amount of money. this allowed him to afford things I secretly used for this recording: a brand-new wonder machine called the teac tascam portastudio 244 80s 4 track multitrack cassette tape recorder!!! a yamaha cp 70 grand piano!!! a korg cx-3 organ!!! and a roland tr-808 rhythm composer!!! absolutely insane!!! the rest is my “voice” and, of course, the strat.

And since I’m already at it, I created a template-free hip hop interpretation of the lyrics that more closely reflects my current mood, which is certainly age-related;-)

One last warm ray of sunlight.
reflected in the leaves' dance.
A flock of birds flies away.
A sky full of differences.

Nothing blooms or sparkles in the air anymore.
Only the weary scent of farewell.
Of all the strength that once was.
Now, only memories remain.

A quiet dying, piece by piece.
Looking forward, we look back.
To everything light and carefree,
that returned every morning.

as if nothing was ever too late.
Because time turns in circles.
in a boundless world,
where nothing lasts forever.

Do you feel it, too?
Do you feel it, too?

Colourful and enchantingly beautiful to this day.
A play of colours, no farewell.
One last warm ray of sunshine.
There won't be another one.

There won't be another one.

Do you feel it, too?
Do you feel it, too?

This song makes me think of a ghost, wandering in a rainy forest

Ghost in the Forest

I found this on my hard drive. It dates from four or five years ago. At the time, I thought it wasn’t enough of this or enough of that to post, while thinking it was also too much of the same thing. But now I like it, especially from the guitar player’s point of view. The sounds and interlocking parts please me. Maybe you will like them too.

I remember that I made this in vague tribute to one of my favorite players and musical mentors-at-a-distance.  He shall remain only partially named.  

For some reason, the “head,” such as it is, comes at the end. Go figure…

Have you ever had the feeling that this kid in your memories was another person ?

memories

Hello everybody,
Has some of you might have known, I had troubles recently : two very long months without being able to listen, share or even comment your new pieces. Its been a long journey and I missed you all so much... Please apologize for this long moment...
But I didn't want to come back with empty hands ! So I took two days to compose the last track of Chromatic (Blue Side) for you !

Been a while, I'm more than happy to be back !

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
