A cover from one of the most gifted songwriters I’ve ever known: the late great BIG Jim Rogers.

She Stands Above You [Jim Rogers cover]

From time to time I've felt this way... and meaning to write a song about it.  

Hope you don't overly empathize, but if you do, I'm with you in spirit (as are many others I'm sure).  Please take a breath, know you're not alone and remember that it's darkest before the dawn.  Stay well. ☮ .  I'm Done.

Lyrics follow:     Done

I'm tired and I'm dyin

(Nyah Maan Ohoo Ow
Ah Ow)

This life is...
It's pullin on me

It's pullin on me

...

I'm Done!
I'm Done!

(I'm tired and I'm dyin...)

No fuckin way
I'm So STUCK

... 

What ya want me to do?

What ya want me to doo?

W T F !

Oh ... It's reasonable But I'm not doin that

I'm Done

Man.  There's no sense kickin a dead horse
If it's down 
It's down

...

It's down

Done

Master of dumb and expert at stupid
I took the boy’s bow and put an arrow in Cupid
Now who’d ever be my valentine?
We had a good run then both decided to pack it in
I’ve been thinking about unpacking us again

Yeah if it’s a bad idea
A silly or even sad idea
A psychic might know but I am not a seer
If I have had another bad idea

Well yes I have blundered once or twice
And that is probably putting it nice
Think flower memorials along the road to love
Should you drive by one of the places where once we'd meet
Would you pull over if you saw me on the street? 

So if it’s ok with you
Maybe we start anew
I can’t always be ruled by my greatest fear
That I have had another bad idea

Who’s keeping score?
‘cuz I’ve got more

Knowing my luck I'll get myself stuck in life's quicksand
Could you wade in and give a guy a hand?

Even if it’s a bad idea
The worst that I’ve had idea
I’ll pick up anytime that you might call
It wont be a bad idea after all

Make me glad
Say it's not a bad idea

Sexagenarian Vol III

Bad Idea

Seagull was kind enough to share a childhood memory with me of fishing boats with old spark plug engines, the scent of the sea, the sound of gulls looking for a meal, all of which he had put into a lovely musical portrait.  It is a different world compared to the childhood I had growing up in suburban Denver, Colorado.  Now with us both in our later years we get to meet on this wonderful platform called Soundcloud, and I asked if I could tag along with him as he shared this lovely memory.  Thank you my friend for letting me join you.  Always an honor.  Hear more of Seagull's beautiful music @farout-music-studio. A real treat awaits you.

Love To Love You Baby (Cover)

“Echoes of Eternia” continues the saga begun in "Legends Beyond the Stars", carrying the listener through gates forgotten, crowns fallen, and dawns reborn. From the epic force of Ashes of Eternity to the reflective calm of Aurora’s Path, each track feels like a chapter in a roleplaying adventure.

The journey ends with Epilogue: The Gates of Eternia — but as in every legend, there are many ways a story can close. Two alternate epilogues, the Twilight Version and the Alternate Ending, reveal other possible destinies, leaving Eternia shrouded in mystery even as the gates open wide.*

"Patriotic Pulse" is a powerful collection of epic Dance, cinematic Soundtracks, and melodic Pop tracks, personally created by BassTianic as a tribute to the land he loves most – the United States of America. Every beat, every orchestral rise, and every melody captures the spirit of freedom, energy, and emotion. A sonic journey across iconic American landscapes, blending orchestral depth with modern dancefloor power. This album is more than music – it’s BassTianic’s heartfelt dedication to America’s pulse.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
