Songs of Life

Music by Ear... nurtured by Heart and Soul.

This came out of a collaboration with my dear friend Julien Morency 
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/oXmfW  building upon my original piano piece 'It's Something Like This'.  https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/like-this

At the time, I was seeking to describe the indescribable; a life experience that elicited feelings more intense than happiness, like the inexplicable emotions felt at the birth of one's first child, or one of those deeply transformational experiences that seem to expand out forever. I suppose it's best known as Joy.

Impossible to describe perhaps...
But here it is, with warm thanks to Julien @musicar for adding his heartfelt touch with Strings.

May you EnJOY!

So now Jamie Rhind and myself have made our collaboration into a Trilogy Suite! This is Part 3 of our excursions "on the Spanish Highway". After the heavy thundering "Drag Racers", the eerie "Tumble Weeds", here now is the melancholic acoustic part 3: "Day dreamers". Or Soñadores en la Carretera Española, if that's correct in Spanish... We had great fun again making this romantic version, using the same themes, but taking it to a flamenco jazz fusion remake. We hope you like our part 3!

For those of you who have come to see us over the past year, some of these could already be your favorite Revivalists songs, and some of them are already ours. We hope to see each and every one of you over the next few months and beyond out on the road.

Men Amongst Mountains

Wish I Knew You

Soul soft Gospel 
Lyrics song by Sas 

- To Forgive Is Not To Forget 

[Verse-1
 trust I tried to build got broken.
It Left me searching for the reason why
I’ve tried to find the strength within to let it go
But the scars remain they always show

[Chorus- 
To forgive is not to forget
That’s true
The pain is there it lingers deep
I’ve tried to let the bitterness slip away
But the memory’s here, it’s here to stay.

[Verse 2
I prayed above for peace, to calm my mind
To find A love that can heal.
To walk this road with a lighter heart
But the shadows know where it all did start

[Chorus-
To forgive is not to forget
That’s so true.
The pain is there it lingers deep. 
I try everyday to let the bitterness slip away
But the memory’s here, it always stays.

[Bridge-
Forgiveness doesn’t rewrite the page
The story’s told the words don’t age
I’m trying to rise above but I can’t erase
The echoes of that broken place

[Chorus-
To forgive is not to forget
that much is true .
The pain is there it lingers still 
I’m trying to let the bitterness slip away
But the memory’s here, it’s here to stay.

Oh please help this heart of mine. 

I want to Forget.

I just added keyboard and tenorsax, each in on go.
I recommend listening to the Original, which is perfect !

Kalia Beach by Petrus Major // Keys Sax remix

create human time 4 bar loop with bodhrán / bongo and guiro for the DAW version
50bpm 6/4 I think
it's setup for strings this and that would allow guitar line as is as in it wouldn't need to get fancier

The Love Beside You

Look around
They're right beside you
Love doesn't change
It's forever new
It's found online when local fear deludes
Love, be beside us,
Cue breath merge deluge

Love is strong
It 'need not presence
It's miracle maker
Magic cosmic essence
'The love beside you faces contempt
Judgement of two
You and Me
Too much is meant

See, love is meaning with no explanation
Unconditional first to station
Spacial glow as Earth shines brighter
Heaven alive births peaceful mightier

Love is for now to make forever
It stays as love in accepting clever
Conscious of the mirrored being
Beside you, don't reflect that mean

Mean 'aint me
Mean 'aint you
Tilt away from scenes that don't ring true
Proof of love is just a feeling
Let's beautify Earth's eyes with beaming

Shining out to the other life
Look, Us humans do it right
We love their cells and not their look
We love existence framed how all eyes hook

Look around you
They're right there
Love doesn't change
Love is the forever prayer
It's found online when local fear deludes
Love beside us cue breath merge deluge
Our love is beside us
Our love is beside us

The Love Beside You (Demo)

Mark says - 
In the 5 years I have been working with Rod, I have been encouraged to reach as far as my experience allows me to, with complete support at all times. So far we have completed 11 songs and have experimented with several others that made for a great learning curve for me, with several more at other stages of development... Watch this space, however as we are methodical and patient, therefore it may take some time to get them off the ground.

The subject matter of this song may be based on a different scenario but it is also a token of my gratitude to my inspirational collaborator and friend Rod, who has given me much confidence to rise to the ambition of his musical creativity and meticulous arrangements. Thank you all for giving this song your time.

Rod says - 
This song was conceived a long time ago to be sung in Spanish, but Mark did a magnificent adaptation with his English lyrics, and the meaning is 100% faithful to the original spirit, even though he hadn't heard the original song in Spanish. Technically, there are three voices together, consolidating a multi-vocal performance. The synth sounds emulate my old analog and FM synths, and the guitars were routed through an old console to achieve the vintage sound I was looking for.

Thank You (Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been here in my life.
I know I don’t need to draw you a diagram,
Thank you for being there all this time as my wife.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
 
No need to show me all of your gratitude,
I already know how much you show that you care,
When you were prepared to move to my latitude,
Then I was convinced I was ready to share,
My life with you whatever it threw at the both of us.
I know that it’s true, no matter what you care to say.
I’ll always need to express all of my thanks to you 
This will always be true on that I swear.
 
I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been in, in my life.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
Then I was sure that I was ready to share,
My whole life with you, whatever that meant for the both of us.
I know that it’s true, whatever you say.

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

► Lyrics ◄

I wake up to the sunrise hitting the water
Grab my board and head down to the shore
But the plastic's floating where the waves should be
This ain't the ocean that we knew before

You used to swim here when we were young
Now the tide brings things that don't belong

Let's make a promise to the salt water
Keep it clean for our sons and daughters
Every bottle, every can
Take it back with your own hands
Let's make a promise to the salt water

Remember when the reef was full of color?
Fish would dance around our feet below
Now it's bleaching white like old bones
And the coral's dying slow

We can't just watch it slip away
There's still time to save today

Let's make a promise to the salt water
Keep it clean for our sons and daughters
Every bottle, every can
Take it back with your own hands
Let's make a promise to the salt water

You and I, we know this place
Every break, every bay
We can be the change we want to see
Starting right here, starting today

Let's make a promise to the salt water
Keep it clean for our sons and daughters
Every bottle, every can
Take it back with your own hands
Let's make a promise


(Salt water promise, salt water promise)
Let's make a promise to the salt water
(Salt water promise, salt water promise)
Keep it clean for our sons and daughters
(Salt water promise, salt water promise)

Salt Water

even at the risk of annoying you by constantly harping on about how incredibly stupid and uninhibitedly destructive we humans are towards our planet and all life around us, here is another piece of work. 

I wrote the original 12 years ago after a rainy walk around hamburg's alster lake (just google it and see how beautiful this place in the middle of the city is). me and carina, we enjoyed the unique atmosphere, gazed at the sky with its colossal cloud formations and 1000 shades of blue and grey, the diverse play of colours and textures created by the millions of raindrops, the rainfilled leafy branches of the trees, the bushes, the grasses...

while seeing and hearing and smelling and feeling all these unparalleled wonders, roy batty's iconic monologue from the film blade runner came to our mind: ‘I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the tannhäuser gate. all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. time to die’.

we concluded that we also have some very nice motifs on earth.

at that time, there were still a few hopeful signs that humanity would manage to preserve all these magnificent phenomena on our planet and courageously commit to a future worth living.

and today?

(just to explain: whenever the sky turned red in the evening, my mother used to tell us that the angels were baking bread. for me, that made sunset the first great mystery of life…)

We’ve seen the angels baking bread
We've seen the sky burst into red
We've seen the moonlight wax and wane
We've seen the stars carve out a name

We’ve seen a million clouds go by
We’ve seen the mountains kiss the sky
We’ve seen the starlings' sculpted swarms
We’ve seen the eyes of mighty storms

We’ve seen it all

We’ve seen the rivers twist and bend
We’ve seen blue streams that never end
We’ve seen the crystal sparks of rain
We've seen no day will bring the same

We’ve seen the trees dance in the breeze
We've seen the summer's busy bees
We’ve seen how winter worlds can freeze
We've seen all seasons full of ease

We've seen it all

We’ve seen so many things and more
We’ve seen we’ve never seen before
We’ve seen a world of wonderlands
We’ve seen what now forever ends

We’ve seen it coming all too well
We’ve seen our heaven turn to hell
We've seen it and we let it go
We've seen it. Cut. End of the show.

We've seen it all
We've seen it all too good
We've seen it all
We've seen it all too good

We've seen it all

[Verse 1]
Walkin’ through the Case Mountain woodlands
Cravin’ a companion to ease my pain
I pulled favors to find you, man
Now I’m chasin’ you down again

Thank you for this nutmeg night
There may be hell in the morning

ADELE — Track 2 of 8 from VICE by Nova J

« La musique est pour les musiciens, le poème pour les poètes, la stupidité pour les stupides, mais l'amour est donné à celle qui le mérite. »
(Sivi le Poète, L'amour)

Aimons toujours ! Aimons encore
Victor Hugo
Aimons toujours ! Aimons encore !
Quand l’amour s’en va, l’espoir fuit.
L’amour, c’est le cri de l’aurore,
L’amour c’est l’hymne de la nuit.
Ce que le flot dit aux rivages,
Ce que le vent dit aux vieux monts,
Ce que l’astre dit aux nuages,
C’est le mot ineffable : Aimons !
L’amour fait songer, vivre et croire.
Il a pour réchauffer le coeur,
Un rayon de plus que la gloire,
Et ce rayon c’est le bonheur !
Aime ! qu’on les loue ou les blâme,
Toujours les grand coeurs aimeront :
Joins cette jeunesse de l’âme
A la jeunesse de ton front !
Aime, afin de charmer tes heures !
Afin qu’on voie en tes beaux yeux
Des voluptés intérieures
Le sourire mystérieux !
Aimons-nous toujours davantage !
Unissons-nous mieux chaque jour.
Les arbres croissent en feuillage ;
Que notre âme croisse en amour !
Soyons le miroir et l’image !
Soyons la fleur et le parfum !
Les amants, qui, seuls sous l’ombrage,
Se sentent deux et ne sont qu’un !
Les poètes cherchent les belles.
La femme, ange aux chastes faveurs,
Aime à rafraîchir sous ses ailes
Ces grand fronts brûlants et rêveurs.
Venez à nous, beautés touchantes !
Viens à moi, toi, mon bien, ma loi !
Ange ! viens à moi quand tu chantes,
Et, quand tu pleures, viens à moi !
Nous seuls comprenons vos extases.
Car notre esprit n’est point moqueur ;
Car les poètes sont les vases
Où les femmes versent leur coeurs.
Moi qui ne cherche dans ce monde
Que la seule réalité,
Moi qui laisse fuir comme l’onde
Tout ce qui n’est que vanité,
Je préfère aux biens dont s’enivre
L’orgueil du soldat ou du roi,
L’ombre que tu fais sur mon livre
Quand ton front se penche sur moi.
Toute ambition allumée
Dans notre esprit, brasier subtil,
Tombe en cendre ou vole en fumée,
Et l’on se dit :  » Qu’en reste-t-il ? « 
Tout plaisir, fleur à peine éclose
Dans notre avril sombre et terni,
S’effeuille et meurt, lis, myrte ou rose,
Et l’on se dit :  » C’est donc fini ! « 
L’amour seul reste. Ô noble femme
Si tu veux dans ce vil séjour,
Garder ta foi, garder ton âme,
Garder ton Dieu, garde l’amour !
Conserve en ton coeur, sans rien craindre,
Dusses-tu pleurer et souffrir,
La flamme qui ne peut s’éteindre
Et la fleur qui ne peut mourir !
Victor Hugo, Les contemplations, 1856

Every Kiss a Crime

(Intro — low D-min pulse, side-chained pad, ticking hat like a second hand)

Verse 1
Streetlights smear on taxi glass, the city hums in gray,
Your midnight name on speakerphone says, “Are you on your way?”
We pull the blackout curtains tight, two fugitives inside,
Fingerprints on crystal lips—no place left to hide.

Pre-Chorus 1
My pulse is contraband, smuggled through my chest,
We’re crossing every line we swore we’d never test.
The world keeps tapping brakes outside our getaway,
But I’m already gone—tell the saints I’m running late.

Chorus
Every kiss a crime—I keep returning to the scene,
Under siren moons, red-blue washing us clean.
Every touch a trespass, every vow an alibi,
Swear me in your darkness; I’ll testify.
Every kiss a crime—
(Every kiss… a crime.)

Post-Chorus (tag)
Mmm, hush—don’t say my name.
Mmm, love—burns like novocaine.

Verse 2
Your whisper’s filed in evidence, a soft and dangerous sound,
We trace a map of sacred no’s we’re never turning down.
I wear your bite like jewelry, cold metal on my skin,
Saints avert their eyes; you let the sinner in.

Pre-Chorus 2 (variant)
Heartbeat like a lie detector racing off the chart,
Truth is just a myth I hide behind my art.
I don’t want absolution, I don’t want the dawn—
I want the loaded silence when the cameras are gone.

Chorus
Every kiss a crime—I keep returning to the scene,
Under siren moons, red-blue washing us clean.
Every touch a trespass, every vow an alibi,
Swear me in your darkness; I’ll testify.
Every kiss a crime—
(Every kiss… a crime.)

Bridge
They say the truth sets fire escapes, but freedom’s winter-cold;
Our story’s cash-and-carry—paid in secrets, sold.
So cuff me to your shadow, lock me in your light,
Be my co-defendant through the longest night.

(Synth break — ghostly lead with mild grit, one-bar vocal chop answering phrases)

Final Chorus (drop-then-hit)
Every kiss a crime—returning to the scene,
Guilty in your arms, and I don’t want to plead.
Every touch a trespass, statute blown by time,
Write me in your ledger: yours, by design.
Every kiss a crime—
(Every kiss… a crime.)

Outro (whispered/filtered)
Shhh… no witnesses.
Erase the tape.
Every kiss… a crime.

Every Kiss a Crime

 I Don’t Kiss, I Claim

(Neo-soul / alt-R&B)

(Verse 1)
Your pulse trips when I say your name
You think it’s just the wine, but baby — it’s the flame
I don’t chase, I wait
Let the silence do the sinning while you hesitate

You’re the moth, I’m the match
Don’t you see that’s how desire traps?
You lean close like you’re asking permission
But I don’t kiss — I make decisions


---

(Pre-Chorus)
My touch ain’t soft, it’s sovereign
My love don’t beg, it’s law
When I taste your breath, I’m signing
Every inch of who you are


---

(Chorus)
I don’t kiss, I claim
Write my hunger on your skin like a name
You don’t fall, you fade
Into the heat I made
I don’t kiss — I claim


---

(Verse 2)
You call it lust, I call it faith
I don’t play with hearts, I engrave
Your halo’s slipping, baby, let it
My kind of worship? You won’t forget it

Every sigh’s a vow I take
Every bruise a mark I make
You think surrender’s just a game —
but I don’t kiss, I claim


---

(Bridge)
Say you want freedom — love, that’s cute
Freedom don’t hum when I play my flute
You can leave when your ghost’s untamed
Until then, remember who renamed you

(Background vocals whisper: “Claimed you, named you, made you mine…”)


---

(Final Chorus – Slow Burn Outro)
I don’t kiss, I claim
Ain’t no mercy in the way I say your name
You don’t fade, you stay
In the smoke I made
I don’t kiss — I claim

(The last “claim” lingers like a velvet threat — reverb swelling, heartbeat fading into silence.)

I Don’t Kiss, I Claim

Cantique du chaos

This started with a very beautiful piano piece by Tom, then advanced by Jussi’s great electric guitar lead. I added an imagined lyric about someone not being able to commit to a relationship and the song was completed by Boon’s excellent acoustic guitar work. Thanks to all for their wonderful contributions. Thanks everyone for giving this a listen. Much appreciated by us all. 

Desamor by Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki and Mark J Bennett

There’s an absence in my life, 
Perhaps of my own device. 
An awkward independence, 
Rendered me unable to share,
 My life with any other. 
Desamor, Desamor

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor 
An awkward independence,
 Left me unable to share.
 Desamor, Desamor
 Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
Forbidding myself that joy.

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor

Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
 Forbidding myself that joy.
 Desamor, Desamor

Desamor - Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki & Mark J Bennett

When I was a boy, I had a dream, all about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed, music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I learned to play, far into the night and drift away
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread, I just want to play that music in my head.
When I was a young boy, I had a dream

And radio waves, kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I had a dream, finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy, just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy

I'm happy to post here this cover of "Jump they say",  brilliantly orchestrated and brought to life by "Phil & friends" :-) It's from David Bowie's 1993 "Black tie, white noise" album. To be honest I'd never heard this song before, but I took to it immediately and thoroughly enjoyed doing my bit :-) 

Thanks again Phil for the opportunity, and a big hand to Rick and Lisa for their top notch contributions :)

Lyrics :

When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire
They say
They say
They say

He has no brain
They say
He has no mood
They say
He was born again
They say
Look at him climb
They say 'jump'
They say 'jump'

They say
He has two gods
They say
He has no fear
They say
He has no eyes
They say
He has no mouth

They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd they say 'jump'
They say 'jump'
Watchout!
Watchout!
They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe 
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
Jump!

Jump They Say - David Bowie Cover (in collaboration with Phil McWalter, Faerytale & Rick Medlock)

... most important part of a jawharpe is a tongue of tempered steel, as also the reeds of a harmonica are. ... so for me this instruments are related in a way, ...... but not often found together. To combine this vibrations might be unusual :) hope I suceeded in making them flow in a cool way!

Flyin'

Wow!  It's been a very Long month since my last release on SoundCloud.
It seems like Forever. But here we Are!!! :D

It Delights me to announce the birth of my latest 'Musical Child', who I've named 'Tiramisu'. (Pronounced - Tear-ah-Mih-zoo.)  Her name alludes to what one might call a 'Pick-Me-Up'.  It comes from a delicious Italian Dessert made of Lady Fingers, Custard, Hazelnuts, and Chocolate! MMM mm m. ;) May She " Live Long and Prosper" ! :D
                                                                                                
Cheers, and Warmest Regards ! 

~ Gary!

Tiramisu

'Hanami' is a word taken from Japanese language. It is the Japanese tradition of observing the beauty of flowers, but this word is associated with the period when the cherry tree blossom. I have tried to reflect through my music this splendid moment of the year.

A Letter from the Past

A Letter From The Past

Piece for acoustic guitar trio, Part 1 - Introduction & Allegro assai

花(Ka) is a flower. 鳥(Cho) is a bird. 風(Fu) is wind. 月(Getsu) is the moon.
Literal translation "Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon"

This Japanese proverb is showing the sense and spirit of Japanese people. They feel beauty most in these four elements and have made many paintings and poems to this theme. That is why these four elements are considered as the beauty of nature. "Experience the beauty of nature and in doing so learn about one's self."

I wrote this like a tone poem in several sections, trying to evoke different sensations of movement and beauty, inspired partly on melancholic Japanese style infused music, by the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, also David Sylvian's music "When Poets Dreamed of Angels" Secrets of the Beehive, and the composition by the Assad brothers called "Natsu No Niwa Suite”, to name a few. Also this is a salute to the greatest guitar trio to date: Paco, Al and John. Long live Passion, Grace and Fire!

I hope you will enjoy this new composition of mine and as you know I always enjoy your comments, likes and shares!

Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon

Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon - 花(Ka)鳥(Cho)風(Fu)月(Getsu) Part I | Dan van den Berg

Piece for acoustic guitar trio, Part II - Andante

花(Ka) is a flower. 鳥(Cho) is a bird. 風(Fu) is wind. 月(Getsu) is the moon.
Literal translation "Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon".

Part II picks up the themes from the first movement, but brings them into different scenes and backgrounds. The pace is slower, melancholic and lingering. Like the moonlit Night, with drops of rain, short flutterings of birds and the wind moving the heavy branches of trees …

I hope you can enjoy this music here, as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares...

Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon Part II, Andante

Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon - Part II - Andante | Dan Van Den Berg

welcome to my english stuff written over the past 40 years as well as recently. so far I let my guitar "sing" (to be listened/watched on my yt page/link below) but thanks to my AI persona, which I challenged in endless programming sessions, I now have the opportunity to bring these songs to life with emulated vocals templated via my melody/arrangement backing tracks, my lyrics, and a lot of prompts to suno 4.5+ and suno 5. 

SO, THE SONGS REMAIN SKETCHES – but at least now they are complete. hugs for listening!

speaking of AI: while spotify finally wants to introduce mandatory labeling for AI, here on sc, deception is still rampant and increasing. those who publish AI-generated music and lyrics without disclosing it seem completely unconcerned that they are cheating their listeners, the community, and musicians with authentic works.

some even explicitly state in their bios that they do not use AI, even though their music, and often their lyrics too, have clear AI signatures that any good online detector can identify in seconds and even assign to specific programs. 

this suggests: zero ideas, zero musical talent or feeling, zero effort, zero work. just pressing a button and out with the stuff! 

sure, everyone has the right to hold the attitude behind such behavior. but it not only makes a mockery of all genuine musicians and their craftsmanship, but also of all musicians who take AI seriously and use it musically, not as a machine for cheating, but as a new way of implementing ideas.

so please stand by what you do, and how you do it! the world is full of fakes. don't become one of them. of course, you can adorn yourself with borrowed feathers, but that doesn't mean you can fly;-)

We've seen it all
