This song is a famous Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931

It had been over 35 years since I last played the guitar...

I started again at the end of July 2025.

On August 10, 2025, I recorded this cover with my cell phone,
WITHOUT EFFECTS, raw sound, with vocals and guitar.

When converting the file to Wav format, I simply heightened the volume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I would like to thank two followers:

- Four months ago, the first one really encouraged me 
to pick up the guitar again.

- The second is someone I hold in high esteem, 
who gave me confidence and, above all,
strongly advised me to post this track as it is,
despite its imperfections (the chords weren't quite right,
the singing wasn't great...)

A big thank you!

I occasionally write lyrics for my compositions, though I don't always post them. The full lyrics for this piece are included below. Please note that the piano arrangement includes some embellishments that don't follow the complete lyrical melody.

I Hope You Know 
Music & Lyrics by Francess Harris

Another night gazing at the stars, while you are on my mind;
So close to me and yet so far away.
And like the stars, memories shine bright and joy is what I find;
I smile and say a prayer for your next day.
So, when you see the stars, remember my love follows where you go.
I hope you know.

You’re a treasure, I cherish you; don’t let that slip your mind.
You have a dream, a purpose to fulfill.
The world needs the gifts you have, your heart is always kind;
So, make a difference, I am sure you will.
And when you see the stars, remember my love follows where you go.
I hope you know.

Bridge:
There are times that the storms will come; don't let them get you down.
Just keep moving on to higher ground.
Life is hard, but beautiful, and you will make it through.
Chase your dreams and know, I believe in you.
So, when you see the stars, remember my love follows where you go.
I hope you know. I hope you know.

Ending:
Another night gazing at the stars while you are on my mind;
I smile and say a prayer for your next day.

Lyrics:

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

Fake Little Birds

I wrote this song in 2020. 
Little did I know that the song would turn into reality so very quickly. 


LYRICS:

What a time to be alive
Oily puddles toxic skies
Stirred up hatred, lies, no big surprise


Reflections can not 
Hide the facts
They've seen it all
In those windswept skies 
And those empty eyes

	
What a time to be alive
Oily puddles toxic skies
Lies and hate, well there's no big surprise

Cause all they've ever known is fight
And we lost it over night 
But we got our pride 
So that's quite alright


I thought I saw you down the street
On the pavement where we used to be

But you aren't hiding 
You are gone
How did we get to this
How did it come to this
What have we done


No one's laughing since the day
The day of broken dreams
The day we've broken everything

No one's seen the sun for days
It's just how we feared
When the world would disappear


No one's laughing since the day
The day of broken dreams
The day we've broken everything

No one's seen the sun for days
And it's how we feared
When the world would disappear
	

No one's laughing
No one's laughing now
No one's laughing
No one's laughing now

03 Toxic Heat

The Joker

Right now, vague anxieties in the world strike us like noise.
What is its root cause? Sadness? Anger? Or fear? No, that's not it.
Its true nature is the fear called "loneliness" that suddenly comes to anyone.
Even if filled with love, friendship, or family, loneliness somehow crosses the mind.
In this world, I am the only one. The only one who knows me is myself. The feeling of loneliness is very painful.
However, we face that loneliness sincerely.
That is precisely what allows us to truly notice others' loneliness, empathize with others' sadness, and become advocates who grasp others' feelings.
When we feel loneliness and based on that are able to erase the world's noise, we perceive everything as conscious.
But the world is so impermanent, and someday the end of life will come to you and me too.
What we leave behind then is not a big deal.
What exists there is a world of "nothingness." Yes, everything returns to nothing. The world and we all return to nothing. But the "nothingness" embraces the world—gently, strongly, bravely, and cheerfully, peacefully, and calmly..."

This track was created from my original draft of the words, which he translated into English and brought to life through narration.

*This cover song is non-monetizing*
Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and love triangle
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

A Go Go by Medeski, Martin, Wood and Scofield (Eclectic Collective cover)

Dear friends, I present to you this song, which is a bit unusual for my taste, but I'm fond of it because of the lyrics. And I'll say more, I think it's the saddest lyric I've ever written, and although I tried to lighten the mood with the music, every time I hear or read the song I feel like crying... I apologize for the emotion, and I hope you enjoy it... dedicated to all my listening friends...
🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻


Paola,

You ran happily in the mountains

The flowering meadows and the dew on your

clothes

Sweetly, you dreamed of a better future

Tired, you recovered from the infamous work


And where are you running now?

Which path do you want to follow?

If the thought wants to kill you.


Paola,

Let's forget the false seasons

Let's put on our skis and run on the

snow

Maybe tomorrow we won't be here

Maybe tomorrow will be the day we cry.


And where are you running now?

Which path do you want to follow?

 You know very well that you must die.


That disease that one day they told you was incurable

Only a miracle could defeat it

But you resist and control time

Trying in vain to stifle a moan.


And finally run, run now

Paola

You are free to go

You are strong enough to search

You are all to dream about...

As my love  for Guitar that goes back a long ways....   my latest composition and arrangement is something i just had to try. Its kind of a Spanish Fusion... thanx to my passionate Iberian Muse. :))

I must tell you however... that I am NOT 'playing' the guitars 'in the usual sense'. In-deed,  i've ventured 'out on a (virtual)string', so to speak.  :)) 
However... it was a 'Stringular Pleasure' to lovingly place every note on my DAW using excellent samples of several 'actual' acoustic guitars.  ;)

I hope you will inJoy.

What's The Fuss - 2016 Debut-Paploviante & NayJ.

Here's a little JaZz PiANo Sunshine to inJOY.  But it's Bright. So Don't forget yer Shades! :)

And truth be told, this tune was actually born of "What She Said",  
but hey friends... 
don't tell anyone, k.  ;)

   ___________________________

But really, i am totally delighted that more than 113,000 Sound-Clouders have inJoyed this tune over the past year or so.  :-D   

'Listening Response' like this from All over this ol' world puts HuGE sMILEs in my heart.  :-D   
A 'Deep Thank You' to Everyone who has Listened, Tapped their toes, Liked * and Re-posted this one!

Here's what one of you said recently about this tune....

" This one reflects the best elements of jazz -  flowing sounds from improvisation - the search through music for greater connection - a communication never quite the same twice. There's a give and take between the artist & the listener that makes the human condition universal and dynamic. The musicianship makes it all the more personal. To me, your tune embraces all that. "

Wow! Thank you Harry  @Hverheij!  


Again ...  Many Many Thanks to each and all for listening, appreciating, commenting, Re-Posting, and 'Sharing the JOY'.                                

                                              ~  Gary

Steps For Peace

Ancient Dance

More Info

There is a way to create peace in this world. Sometimes it feels as if there is not, that the cause is hopeless, but there is a way that we can achieve harmony on this planet.
We can choose to live our lives as demonstrations of our highest and grandest beliefs, rather than as denials of them.
I believe God is the First Step For Peace...

Info

Rainy afternoon and this track is inspired by the musical genius that is Tom Waits. This whole track comes from the first two bass notes of 'Make it rain' from the 'Real Gone' album., look it up, the rest is development from there. I love that dark mood. Once again the 335 is earning its keep as is 'blue' the jazz bass!

Toms Blues.

Fusing together the purity of classical sounds and the sonic richness of electronic instruments, Spanish composer Richard Dobeson creates a universe that is expressive, imaginative and wonderfully relatable.

Born of Irish origin, Richard Dobeson lives in Madrid where his home studio is located. From here, he crafts compositions that explore the human connection to peace, love and unity. His eclectic soundscapes experiment with neo-classical, progressive, and art rock genres, but his signature presence is in the cinematic quality found in each piece. 

Richard Dobeson has dedicated his life to music, pouring his soul into every note, melody and instrument. The years of music education, knowledge and expertise have allowed Dobeson to express himself eloquently through music. His humble beginnings in music began as a teenager, possessing a natural talent for the guitar and his passion for performing. Much of his time was
spent studying and practising the instrument to develop a style that would become unique to Dobeson.

Guided by professionals, his thirst for musical knowledge only intensified. Continuing his studies in Classical and Jazz training, his next venture would be in the electric guitar with Jorge Cabadas and David Gwynn. Nano Riverola and Goya Award-winning Eva Gancedo would assist him in his Ear Training, Piano, Harmony, Composition, Arranging and Film Scoring studies. These courses would greatly influence his creative songwriting abilities. His knowledge in piano and clarinet gave him access to new depths and dimensions within his pieces, combining classical instrumentation
with vivid electronic sounds.

Richard Dobeson’s music has accompanied cinematic visuals, writing for film and media. He was also the accompanying guitarist for singer Dani Martin, who would later form ‘Canto del Loco’. His own personal work has seen the releases of an array of EPs and singles, including ‘Elysium Bliss,’ ‘Deep Heart’ and ‘Wild Flower.’ February will welcome the release of his upcoming single
‘Largo,’ a euphoric composition that puts the world into perspective. ‘Largo’ will be released on the 17th February 2022.

The result of Richard Dobeson’s vibrant career and spirited connection with music is a colourful, artistic and dynamic world that brings awareness to the mind, body and soul.

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life as well as a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer, as far as I'm concerned, our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
