I thought it was time to start writing and recording some new songs, with a view to putting together a new solo album over the winter. For this song I have returned to my nylon string Morris guitar. Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Sitting…. In my rocking chair
Rollin…….. with the beat
Pickin …..out a tune
Keeping time… tapping my feet

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know 

Sitting….. in my rocking chair 
Close my eyes and see
All the places I have been
Just rollin … with the beat

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know

Moi, je vais devant moi, 
tant que je vois le ciel.
Que je pense et que j'aime,
 l'air, les fleurs, le sel.
Un brin d'herbe tressaille, 
au sommet des collines.
Et dans le ciel vaste,
c'est mon coeur qui défaille.
Quand nous étions amants, 
quand nous étions aimants, 
sous le ciel lourd d'octobre, 
quand la nature se change.
Et je vois, dans les prés, 
la splendide fraîcheur. 
Et flotte dans le vent, 
les images délivrées.
Moi, je vais devant moi, tant que je vois le ciel. Je fais un pas de plus, l'air, les fleurs, le sel.
Solo
Les brins d'herbe qui tressaillent, 
la céleste harmonie.
Quand la nature se change, 
quand je pense et que j'aime.
Quand nous étions amants, 
au sommet des collines.
Que dans le ciel vaste,
nous voyions des merveilles.

Wonders

I go ahead, 
as long as I can see the sky.
That I think and love,
 the air, the flowers, the salt.
A blade of grass twitches, 
on the hilltops.
And in the vast sky,
it's my heart that falters.
When we were lovers, 
when we were loving, 
under the heavy October sky, 
when nature changes.
And I see, in the meadows, 
the splendid freshness. 
And floating in the wind, 
delivered images.
I go ahead, 
as long as I can see the sky.
 I take one more step, 
the air, the flowers, the salt.
Solo
The twitching blades of grass,
 celestial harmony.
When nature changes, 
when I think and love.
When we were lovers, on hilltops.
 When in the vast sky
 we saw wonders.

Merveilles avec Orelya

All my secrets, all my dirty secrets
Can I tell you, can I really tell you?
Can I trust you, can I really trust you?
Will you hide them?
Will you really keep them for yourself?
Without telling anybody else?

All your secrets, all your dirty secrets
You can tell us, You can really tell us
You can trust us, you can really trust us
We will hide them
We will really keep them for ourselves
Without telling anybody else

I will tell you, I will really tell you
All my secrets, all my dirty secrets
I will trust you
Can I really trust you?
Will you hide them?
Will you really keep them for yourself?
Without telling anybody else?

You can tell us, you can really tell us
All your secrets, all your dirty secrets
You can trust us, you can really trust us
We will hide them
We will really keep them for ourselves
Without telling anybody else

All my secrets, all my dirty secrets
I won't tell you, I'm not gonna tell you
I don't trust you, I don't really trust you
I will hide them
I am gonna keep them for myself
Without telling anybody else..

All my dirty secrets
All my dirty secrets
All my dirty secrets

First Snow

This is an old instrumental piece I composed back in 2016 after my dad had passed away and I thought the dream was over. I loved him dearly and this music just came to me a few months later when I woke up from a dream in which he was in. It's just an instrumental improvisation, no lyrics but I did make a video for it, I turned it into one of my spacey videos. It will be dropping soon hopefully. Listen to it on headsets if you can because there is a lot of stereo effects going on. I'm not a skilled piano player so please forgive my fumbling around on the keyboard! It's an emotional piece for me! Never forget your loved ones! Thanks for listening & take care.

"INCIDENTAL MUSIC FOR A DYING DREAM" (Video -https://youtu.be/Tkv9_uW-ZUs)

Welcome to 2024 and thank you for visiting my Soundcloud page. 
It's great to connect with so many talented musicians here on Soundcloud! On this page you'll find my original songs (including 4 albums) and acoustic guitar instrumentals (including 2 EP's), together with various notes about guitars played, tunings, recording etc.

I am in the process of writing my fifth album which I hope to record at some stage during the year..

Musical influences for me have been many and varied including for example Bert Jansch, John Martyn, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Mark Knopfler, BB King, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Fairport Convention, Paul Simon,  JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, Colin Hay and John Mayer.

Hope you enjoy listening to my music.
