Treasured Wounds
There's a neon sign blinkin
On the wrong side a town
It's an old lighthouse beacon
For lost soul's run aground
And they look at their live's
Like a vein that's been opened
And ya can't tell for sure
If their laughing or choakin

Some sit in silence
and stare off in space
And some holdin court
Tend to get in your face
But they all see themselves
Like a coin that's been tossed
And hope that their worth what they've lost

So turn back the clock
To back when it stopped
And we'll sing all our old favorite tunes
And resurrect kneel bow and gene-flecked
Before our most treasured of wounds

Now memories and shadows
grow long with the day
and come back to life
when night has it's way
And we're all old soldier's
we won the war
only to fall on our swords

Before our most treasured wounds
Before our most treasured wounds
And it takes one to know one down here

Wash it all away

Hot town, summer in my city of Rotterdam! My town is best viewed in sharp light with lost of light and shade, being a city of new and modern architecture.
This is a fast instrumental fusion track with hints of rock and funk celebrating my harbor city of Rotterdam, the new Dutch capital of cool, a city of extremes and contrasts, hypermodern, rough, angled, trendy and hip(ster). Some call it the city of the future, where architecture is experimental, art is modern, music is with an edge, yearly festivals like the North Sea Jazz festival at Ahoy... I do love my city, the reason I came to be an architect...

 I hope you'll enjoy this tune of mine and as always I appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Written by Mike and Ali Score , Frank Maudsley and Paul Reynolds

Performed and Produced by Caustic Cheese - JOJO ;)

"I Ran (So Far Away)"

I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
'Appearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away

I Ran (So Far Away) - (cover)

On Earth Tonight

There’s so much war on earth tonight
type-A wants to get his slice
everywhere mosquitoes bite
there’s so much war on earth to night
and we all need to heel

This blissful oblivion
hazy delirium
hello, bacterium!
oh, sweet, sweet ignorant life
sweet sweet life

On earth
stupidity moves the wheel
up, up, up
down, down, down
and everyone’s irreverent
the wheel moves the reel
up, up, up
around and around
indifferent
so where is our mothership?
where is your brain?
down, down, down
this is insane

We all need to heal

There’s so much pain on earth today
you feel the sour rain, taste ocean spray
type-A blaring: „Come what may!“
there’s too much pain on earth today
and we all need to heal

This blissful oblivion
hazy delirium
hello, bacterium!
oh, sweet, sweet ignorant life
sweet sweet life

On earth tonight

Crashing of the melting ice
where are the compassionites
missing love on earth tonight

Stupidity moves the wheel
up, up, up
down, down, down
and everyone’s indifferent
the wheel moves the reel
up, up, up
around and around
irreverent
so where is our mothership?
where is your brain?
down, down, down
this is insane

Sneaky Peakin'

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life and 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 up 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 *+*
