what’s going on? 101bpm #frawstakwapella...

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

WELCOME TO Mx.wav

Well, I do believe this is it. 

I started working on this album a few months ago, still affected by the last two years. Well, I survived, and if you're reading this, you did too. 

Now there is a lot of work to do that doesn't involve being afraid of things. I'm moving on to a better life. Obviously life will never be easy, but it doesn't need to be filled with constant input from others. After some changes made to my psyche, I think I have found a place of peace that I can stand on. 

I want what is best for everyone. What is best for me, is not sitting around and trying to figure out the world. What is best me is moving into the world with my own perspective and vision. The experiences of others cannot define me, and the opinions of the world don't need to influence me. 

Family, love, friendship, health, provides positive perspectives if we let it. I have these things, thus I have all I need.

This realization has helped me to conclude this album. I wanted more songs on it, but I think the collection is fine and am looking forward to future work. Not sure when I'll start the new one, but I'm sure that this one is fully out of my system. 

It's time to move on from negativity. It's time to choose how we respond to things. It's time to gain some control over ourselves.

It's a sunrise. See my smile...

I think you look real fine to me, the way that you are.

a track I have been working on with plex for a while now.  each time I try to turn it into a real song it gets worse.  this is the original sketched idea I sent to plex.  the drums and the bass guitar are https://soundcloud.com/plex-auchta , and the vocals (all way too many of them) are me.

I may return to this song again some day and try again, but for now this is it.  as always, thank you very much for your ears.  I love that I have people to make and share these silly songs with :)

the way that you are
