Flute Improvisations on the Seven Modes

words and music K Gennery

For my darling wife who, at the best of times, does a difficult job within our National Health Service. Throw in the covid madness and that very same job becomes almost impossible.

Lyrics:
I don't know how you do the job you do,
the responsibility of seeing it through.
Pressure from all sides,
looking out for the welfare of buildings and lives.

If I were to spend one day in your shoes,
(shoebie doobies, ooh shoebie doobies)
by mid afternoon Im sure I would have blown my fuse.
(Bang, Bang, Pop, Pop, BOOM!)
There'll be blood and guts everywhere,
as I explode and take them all out.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,Take them all out.

There'll be blood and guts everywhere,
as I explode and take them all out.

This songs to say Im so very proud of you,
and to confirm the fact I never want to borrow your shoes.
Cause I don't wanna do any time,
reflecting on my crime, of taking them out.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Take them all out
(gotta get away, gotta get away)

Take them all out

take em all out

A song about a love affair that turned into real love. Thanks for the attention!

You made me feel

Le Gach Bogadh ar Aghaidh,Éirímid (With Each Step Forward ,We Rise )

These vocals nearly killed me, more of a songwriter than a singer. Next song I write might only have a 3 step range!...Dementia, Alzheimer's is a terrible reality for so many. I wrote the first verse from the perspective of the afflicted one and the second verse from the caregiver’s . The cover art is being created before I release on the streamers in early 2025, but here it is for meySoundClouders. I promise, the next song will be a more joyful tune...I hope!

Falling

Worst Case Scenario

Misk - Butterflies Don't Speak (Soulwave)

A classic guitar track. Theme and performance - LeoMReznik.                                           
      This time I decided to record something in the traditional classical style. This winter is still causing exactly such feelings... Some of you, my friends, may like this simple composition. I'll be glad to.

Winter Adagio

A new composition
Lyrics:

In the silence of the night, I've laid my heart bare,
Words like whispers drifting, tangled in the air.
I spoke of the shadows, the weight of a smile,
Trying to lift the darkness, if just for a while.

I’ve seen the faces, their eyes locked tight,
Chasing the phantoms of a flickering light.
Lost in the chatter, of voices all wrong,
Searching for truth in a deafening song.

But the last song is playing, and it’s bittersweet,
A melody fading, beneath restless feet.
Where do we wander when the lights start to fade?
In this masquerade, has hope ever stayed?

 Lost in the shuffle, as we dance in the dark,
Clinging to echoes, but where’s the spark?
This world is a canvas smeared with despair,
Maybe the colors were never quite there.

So, what will be left when we roll up the scroll?
A tale of a wanderer, lost in the control.
I question the fabric of this strange design,
Is it fate or just folly that draws us the line?
                                               
So, I sing one last time, in the still of the night,
As the curtain is falling, I hold on to the light.
We fight for a place where the heart can be free,
In this aching reflection, it's just you and me.

The Last Song is Playing

Oh marshmallow donkey with a sting in your tail 
You’re the king of confections on a frightening trail 
Not a treat to meet in the midnight breeze 
A chewy nightmare that brings you to your knees

Marshmallow Donkey

composed by Chihiro MATSUMOTO(JéT)
arranged,played, and sang by Chihiro Matsumoto(JéT)
This is a remake version of my song. Original one was my acoustic guitar & vocal. And I tried to make this song more enjoyable with some arrangement.
Thank you so much for all the listening and very nice encouraging words

Lyrics 
We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
I feel (feeling) you fall on ground
Shadowy days fall on you
I’m so ,,, waiting for you…
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
And I hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
Stay with me for now
Find your way so close
I’m so,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
Oh　(the) life will be fine
I can believe in all your fate
You can feel it for now
A cloud is flow
(When)Open your eyes forward
I can’t tell you why
I’m so ,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

Waiting For You

In my music, I try to inspire me different forms that are in the nature, where microcosm and macrocosm intertwine closely.
It is really pleasant to be able to share our musics through our passions and ideas...
I currently have 67 Opus and all scores are available.
