Songs with Gareth

Mixed for Lillithe

A new song composed with my old friend Gareth, the first since Covid!
Gareth plays acoustic guitar.

Te Amo

On a lonely road the sun is beating down
A wayward wind lifts the dust to swirl around
Te amo, te amo
That's all I have to say
Te amo, te amo, always

The bone white stones are reminders of our home
Our futures locked within our chromosomes
Te amo, te amo
At the ending of the day
Te amo, te amo, always

And time moves slow 
in the corners of the world
when the leaves of love  
remain forever unfurled
As the circling birds 
pick the carcass of the past
Perhaps we gave our love too fast

Te Amo (with Gareth)

A song about forgetfulness.

This is a bluegrass song that the amazing Frans Beelaard (@user-936947521) sent me to which I added mandolin and guitar. he came up with the song, though, and you hear him on the bass, banjo, dobro, and fiddle on it. I'm amazed at his playing, and deeply honored that he would share his music with me like this. I sent him several takes, and he assembled the song from them. I can't begin to guess the amount of time, skill, and effort that went into polishing my attempts, but I'm very happy with his results, and very appreciative for his efforts. We truly hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Blue Mountain (with Frans Beelaard)

What was that? 
A shadow dream 
At the edge of your sight
There is nothing there
but you still take care
and nothing can make it right
Your mind is clear
there is nothing to fear
even in the depths of night
The darkness holds
such terrors
that fade with the coming daylight

The lucidity of  wakefullness keeps you sane
It's as we believe it to be
Who could imagine that the monsters that haunt our dreams
Owe their existence to me
The sunlit uplands call and we think the battle is won
But demons lurk there yet when all is said and all is done

How do we just draw a line
between truth and fantasy
As the organs of the internet
tell us this is our reality
Say goodbye to all  the things 
that you believed were sure to be
Obscure is the truth we seek
Why would you listen to me?

 I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the lower frequencies and  only hear half of the music : )
