LYRICS:
Oh this life under the stars
I am weathered, I am worn
But these trade winds blow
And guide me home
Breathe in breathe out
No complications
I take my chances
When the dice are thrown

I’m thankful for the turning of the tide
Watch the waters flow and cast my fears aside
But there’s a time ………to take the strain
And the sun ……………….will rise again

I have no answers
To my questions
Though I wonder 
At the magic of it all
The hourglass
Tells its story
As these grains of sand 
Gently fall

I’m thankful for the turning of the tide
Watch the waters flow and cast my fears aside
But there’s a time ………to take the strain
And the sun ……………….will rise again

Oh this life under the stars
I am weathered, I am worn
But these trade winds blow
And guide me home

I am the Butterfly
Lyrics: Maria Bourgeois
Guitar music: Bryan McDaniel

In my silk cocoon
I’m on the moon
beautifully bracing 
for the storm

Slow unseen 
destruction of things
these things that we 
cherish in our lives

CHORUS
I can’t wait to get outta here
I can’t wait to get outta here
I can’t wait to get outta here
I can’t wait to get outta here 

I’m like a moth 
attracted to a screen of light
I use the light 
To navigate in the night

Though I’m small
I’ve got wings to fly away
Can’t capture me in your glass
I live another day

CHORUS

Can’t keep me in the darkness
Or incandescent light
I’m always heading for
The lighter side of life

I can’t wait to get outta here
I can’t wait to get outta here

I am not a moth
I am the butterfly 

Live life on the wing
And sing and sing 

In my silk cocoon
I’m on the moon
Beautifully embracing
its silver light 

Light
Light 
Light

I Am The Butterfly

Written, played and recorded by Mathias De Cauwer at Dead space maze studio, 07/12/2022.

Pondering on my cold, cold bed,
Reminds me of all the things that's been said.
There's something wrong within my heart.
How could i ever learn
From a story with missing parts 

It's beautifull when the stars fall on me
Darkness is my friend, don't you agree?
I only give you all my light
Everytime you die
Don't you agree?
I know what you want
My gift pleases few. 
Blinding claimants of a critical world
Can i give you something new?
Colourfull cloud creatures, high in the sky?
Deep dark tranquility.
You seek to kill my mind
All thoughts die, whatever i claim.
Prophecies fulfilled, it stays the same 

Give me a desolation that floats on peacefull waters. Save my dying for a night among the stars 

It's beautifull when the stars fall on me
Darkness is my friend, don't you agree?
I only give you all my light
Everytime you die
Don't you agree? 

Stars fall on me


'And I looked as he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, the whole moon became as blood
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.´

Revelation 6: 12, 13

Cold glow

Cold Glow

as usual

A song I wrote two years ago or more about my wife and her mother. Reflecting on the loss of a mother and how it affects the daughter so much and continues to hurt everyday five years later.
I gave Noobly the original demo and said imagine this.
We are on stage at the Albert Hall. You with an acoustic guitar and me on vocals with a full orchestra behind us. He said no pressure then and laughed.
It’s the only way I could express how big this sound needed to be.
Noobly loves a challenge and always delivers. I was blown away at what he had created it’s a home  studio masterclass of orchestration and production.
He also pulled out the original vocal part from the middle 8 and re-used it again as he thought it was more authentic than the new vocal.
A nice touch for me and nostalgic.
The anniversary draws near so now is a good time for the song to be released as a tribute. 
Just Not Today………….

::  STOWAWAY  ::

A winter take off 
A summer touch down
Leave it all behind 
Oh! A new world
With old dreams
A new time ... so it seems

Stowaway 
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! Its only in the mind...in the mind

It's simple to understand - when eyes get a clearer view
Your soul can heal in time...

Brave adventure 
Broad horizons
Everything should change - by now it should change...
A winter touch down - the clouds not lifting
One day it may fade from grey...

Stowaway
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! She's only in your mind...In your mind 

MOIR 2006

Stowaway

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

----------------
C’est ce chemin que l’on prend à deux
La fraîcheur d’un matin blanc et bleu
Tu as mis ta robe rouge et grise
Rouge cerise

C’est ton pas devant mon pas léger
Ta main que je ne prends pas oui mais
Ta nuque devant moi me grise
Je fixe, dessous les cerises

C’est ce temps qui nous épargne un peu
La nature semble se prendre à nos jeux
Léger comme ta robe rouge et grise
Rouge cerise

Vers un chemin que l’on prend à deux
Chaleur de ta main dans un gant soyeux
Epousant ta robe blanche d’église
Alliance promise

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 over these winter months.

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.
