Listen my last track featuring Marin Cortial, musician of "Time to swing" band. "Follow me" is a jazz & blues track. All instruments composed and played by myself, except keyboards (Marin Cortial).

Follow Me

Tomás Fiszman:  Cello
Ben Juul  Drums, Mix & Master @ Tone Hill, NY

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

You made me feel

Quiet River

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

Give in

Are you awake?
It doesn’t matter anyway
I pull the brake
It’s neither Monday nor the lord’s day

Pretty little thoughts
Surrounded by knots
Bombshells and fears 
Crowded people that cheers
Is it time to give in?
Watch the others spin?

I think you’re awake
Does it all make sense?
I think we release the brake
It’s for our own defence
I have no faith in the politics
Nevermind, it was a joke
But I’m afraid of the reaper
And I think we’re broke

Give in

I started with a guitar loop and then built up from that using a few brass loops to add panache.
The idea wasn't to sound like spy movies, but by the time I finished this little ditty, Marivi said, "It sounds like a spy movie". 
It must be all the slow horses I've been reading lately; I can't get them out of my mind. 🙄

Recorded on a mac using Logic Pro.
The original guitar loop was recorded on my iPhone directly from my Tanglewood acoustic.
I then looped that into Logic and began writing little keyboard accompaniments. Added some classic Fat Boy slim samples and called it a day

A drink, Dear?

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.

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white  
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control…….. 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control! 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...

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
