Midnight Coffee

Le Gach Bogadh ar Aghaidh,Éirímid (With Each Step Forward ,We Rise )

These vocals nearly killed me, more of a songwriter than a singer. Next song I write might only have a 3 step range!...Dementia, Alzheimer's is a terrible reality for so many. I wrote the first verse from the perspective of the afflicted one and the second verse from the caregiver’s . The cover art is being created before I release on the streamers in early 2025, but here it is for meySoundClouders. I promise, the next song will be a more joyful tune...I hope!

Falling

Quality Acoustic guitar borrowed off a freind, and vocals. 
About long days of work in the fields. 

Got to keep going.

'good to know'

Babe, my brain keeps storming ways
that you could be lying to me once again.
Why do I feel like such a fool?
Am I merely your tool for use? 
And, if so, how could you be so cruel?
And, what exactly is it that's your fuel
that you possessed to motivate you
to do all the fucked up shit that you do?
Well, it's true. 

Babe, I can't help 
but to be spiraling down
into all of the things that go on around.
I can't just simply ignore the sound.
I feel I can not go pound for pound
with all your bullshit that's laying around.
So, why bother making a sound?
Because, amidst this, maybe I will be found,
and come around. 

Nothing you've done shows that you loved me
after the lies that I have come now to know.
You claimed that no one else was above me
but when I was with my kids or off working, you'd go off and cheat on me, yo. Good to know.

CHANGING SCALE

Changing scale

Waiting figures,
Dark outfits in the dim light,
Silence holds their plea.


Waiting figures in dark outfits

Moonlight Sonata Reimagined

Thanks to  the music-makers ,theirs is the universe of bass and treble ,space and time ,creators of new energies ,free to imagine a world of harmonic structure and dissonant entropy.
I love listening to all the music posted and thanks for listening to mine.
