OutHighlander on the run

Alba's Top Ten [8]

I finally bought a new classical guitar :)

The tightrope walker

My humble contribution to the popular musical magna opera that may be understood as 'Lost in space.'

Far From Home

Try to comprehend your life
There’s something in my mind
An overwhelming sense of fear
I wish I could describe

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

Broken thoughts and twisted lines
All jumbled up inside
There must be some peace to find
It’s no-one’s path but mine 

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher
We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher
We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher

All these people who claim they were abducted by alien UFO’s
They say they took them up onto the spaceship and examined them from head to toe.
Most people think those stories are made up, but what if they’re actually true
It kind of makes you wonder what motivates those aliens to do the things they do
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
People who believe we couldn’t have built the pyramids without alien assistance
There’s days when I can’t find my car keys without lots of searching and persistence. 
Maybe we’re just 2 legged creatures and the earth’s an exotic alien zoo. 
And they come here on safari to see what we’re up to
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
They say the speed of light is as fast as you can possibly go
Maybe those aliens have access to information we don’t know
Maybe they just look at us in the same way scientists study bugs
They read the work of our most brilliant minds and they just shrug
Maybe someday if we start World War three, they’ll stop the missiles from firing
Or maybe they’ll just let us blow ourselves up because they find our behavior so tiring
Maybe someday if they think we’re ready, they’ll land a spaceship in times square
And although they’re usually naked, they’ll put on some underwear
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
There's days on earth when it feels like it might be kind of nice to get away
And getting abducted by aliens just might be okay.

If I Ever Get Abducted

Got the ol acoustic guitar out of the case last night. It's been awhile! Dang my fingers, powered through though, cause this song had to be guitar. Part of this song was an old rift I've had forever and it's destiny was this. Someone very dear to me wrote the lyrics and she wishes to remain unknown. This whole thing came together in a day, and it's such a good feeling. I hope you enjoy this live take I did tonight! Thanks for listening!:) Here's to my first guitar song on here! 

My Escape

The world fades to silence
The night pulls me in 
Close my eyes 
And I find you again
No time no distance 
No walls in between
Only the place
Where you're waiting for me 
In the daylight 
you're a memory 
But in the dark
You're right here with me
Oh Oh  Oh Oh 

You're my escape
When the stars start to shine
Where the past and forever
Collide in my mind
No goodbyes no heartbreak
Just you next to me 
In the place where we love 
Endlessly 
Ooo Ooo 

Your touch feels so real
Your whisper so clear
I swear you can hold me 
Like you are really here
But the morning keeps stealing 
What the night lets me keep
And I wake up 
Alone from the dream
In the daylight 
you're a memory 
But in the dark
You're right here with me 
Oh Oh Oh Oh

You're my escape
When the stars start to shine
Where the past and forever
Collide in my mind
No goodbyes no heartbreak
Just you next to me 
In the place where we love 
Endlessly
Ooo Ooo 

Maybe someday
I won't have to wake
Maybe one night 
You'll ask me to stay
Until then I'll be waiting
Eyes closed heart awake
For the moment
I find you
My escape 
Oh Oh Ohhh Oh

My Escape (Original song live)

A little song I wrote back in September of 2023. Inspired by a beauty, who made me think of the Proverbs 31 woman. She brought this song to life, and pretty neat that her birthstone was a ruby. I even bought her a pair of ruby colored shoes. This song will always be very special. It's amazing how those little moments can hit and unexpectedly ignite a song late at night. I love those moments, cause that's what I strive to always remember. She took that picture of me on the Steinway. I hope you enjoy this live recording I did very late last night. Thanks so much for listening:) 

Ruby

I was so lonely
Thank God I found
The perfect girl
Oh in such
A dark world
She's more precious
Than the rarest ruby
In all of the world
Oh how she loves me
She's my world

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

And I've never been so happy
She's my favorite sound
Through all my nights and days
I love to hear
The way she prays
She's more precious
Than the rarest ruby
In all of the world
She holds the key
To another world

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

I'm never letting her go
I'm never letting her go
Everyday I'm gonna show
How my love will always grow
I'm never letting her go

And she's more precious
Than the rarest ruby 
In all of the world
I'm never letting her go

Verse 1
The Rain fall in the garden,
A brand new start, a day to learn.
Forget all, we were us ,
and now ... we get in touch.

Chorus
There's somewhere else that we could be,
There's someone else that we can see.
There's only love to set us free.
All that we can, we can be,
All that we are, we can see.
All that leasure fall in our hands,
So -- don't --fall back again !

Verse 2
The day fall down the sea,
It's a pleasure to see this one.
No pressure, don't be sorry,
Comes a time where it's more easy.

Chorus
There's somewhere else that we could be,
There's someone else that we can see.
There's only love to set us free.
All that we can, we can be,
All that we are, we can see.
All that leasure fall in our hands,
So -- don't --fall back again !

Don't Fall Back Again

Sailing Scottish Waters

[Verse]
From Skye to Harris the journey unfolds
Arran to Mull the stories retold
Salt on the breeze and the gulls in the air
A moment of freedom beyond all compare

[Verse 2]
Waves crash wild on the rugged shore
Nature's symphony I can't ignore
The boat sways soft like a gentle tune
Under the glow of the silver moon

[Chorus]
Oh these Scottish waters they call my name
Through sun and storm they’re never tame
The horizon burns with a golden light
Sailing through day into endless night

[Verse 3]
Rocks stand tall like ancient guards
Marking the path with their battle scars
The ocean’s pulse it beats in time
With the rhythm of this heart of mine

[Bridge]
The sun sinks low in a fiery embrace
Painting the sky with a tender grace
Echoes of bagpipes in the evening breeze
This is where I’m meant to be

[Chorus]
Oh these Scottish waters they call my name
Through sun and storm they’re never tame
The horizon burns with a golden light
Sailing through day into endless night

► Lyrics ◄
The wind comes
I don't know the direction
Steps are taken
Random Numbers
With each play
The start is given 
Luck may be on my side
But I let it happen
Not how to cheat time
Life stops and he goes on
Friendly time, enemy time
But only he knows
Know the story
I leave it in your 
And I follow like the wind
#Wind #Comes #Vento

The Wind Comes

A very old song I came across.

Hope you like it.

Written and performed by David Cooper

Lyrics:

There’s a light in the forest – Let it shine
There’s a fire in the distance – Let it burn

There’s a songbird on my shoulder that sings so gracefully
And it sings of a place that used to be
Let it shine, let it shine

There’s a light on the ocean – Let it shine
There’s a ship that comes a sailing - Sail on by

And it sails from a place that holds sweet memories
And it sails to a place that used to be
Let it shine, let it shine

Bridge

To all the memories that I hold
To all the stories left untold
Let them shine

Solo

There’s a light in the desert – Let it shine
And the sands they are a burning – Let them burn

And the full moon shines above us, and it shows for all to see
And it tells of the tales that used to be
Let it shine, let it shine

Let it shine to the end

Let it shine

I like to create songs in differents styles, sometimes ephemeral songs to express a passing feeling, and at other times definitive songs.
I'm listening to work with other artists to share and enjoy creations !
Peace !
