THE DAY OF THE GREEN EARTH - IMPROMPTU

As the title suggests, I made this piece to commemorate World Earth Day. And this piece is largely improvised, so I found Impromptu a fitting description. The accompanying guitar is playing parts that have been in my head for some time now, the lead guitar responds to them spontaneously. 

I filmed myself live while recording this track, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/eK4Z6XMy2xs

As always I really enjoy your likes, shares and comments!

Lyrics:

I saw the clock but lost the time
Chasing shadows
Skipping lines
Every road
It bends and sways
I’m caught in a maze
I’m caught in a haze

Eyes like static
Heart on hold
Every thought is a story untold
I drift
I spin
I lose my way
Eyes like static
Fading away

A bird outside
It sings my name
I try to focus but it’s all the same
A thousand sparks
They light my brain
But none will burn
None will remain

The wind hums low
The air feels tight
My mind's a kite

Eyes like static
Heart on hold
Every thought is a story untold
I drift
I spin
I lose my way
Eyes like static
Fading away

Eyes Like Static

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!

Henrik is just a 30-year-young-regular-everyday-normal decent amateur guy who lives in Norway and spends most of his free time making all kinds of craptacular music. He's even talking in third person right now just to tell you this. 

As you may have noticed from my selection of creation so far, I'm very versatile when it comes to music. I'm a musician scientist; I like to experiment and discover new things. I also have a dog. And I like chicken noodle soup.
