Chigasaki city (Japan) where I live is a sister city of Honolulu, Hawaii (United States).
Under the influence of that, we often see hula dancers in town and to hear of ukulele sounds.
I composed this number in hope that it would act as a bridge between the sister cities,
Furthermore, I sincerely hope that everyone in the world will understand each other like we all understand music.
From Southern Beach Chigasaki with love.

Trace until the sister city conclusion.

In completing this number, I got a lot of advice and I was encouraged from some friends of SoundCloud.
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to you all.

After almost a year without any music due to severe tinnitus I finally did go into the studio. Now I take it step by step, so no drums yet. This piece "After the War" is a melancholy slow one written in the wake of that kind of every day drama that happens in a ordinary relation from time to time. Its the silence after a war, after a devastating confrontation where the consequences are yet to be seen. But it doesn't feel good, does it?
Many of the hours went into the lyrics, but doing the vocals also took some time. But then again, its good to be back:)
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated as always!

After the War

This is the last sunday morning recording of the year. I have loved George Harrison since I was about 5 years old, and his music and also the Beatles were played all the time in our house by my older brother. George was a beautiful man in so many ways, and another taken from us too soon. My heart is full when I listen to his songs.
Hoping that this brings you a little warmth, and much love and peace for the new year to come.
Take care out there!

Here Comes The Sun ( George Harrison )

I want you to know, how I feel about your face
Floating in and out of my mind
Like a universe in outer space
Chill coated smile that can never be erased.

The breathing of this time and space
Will melt into a vision quest
And we will walk with hands held high
To mark the stem of all creation
Lazarus lamenting lows 
Ghosts who press their haunted engagements
Host a planetary match with scruples towards their preservation
I can see you dining with a ghost or two

El corazón del universo vive dentro de nosotros
(The heart of the universe lives inside us). 

I can see you dining with a ghost or two

El corazón del universo vive dentro de nosotros
(The heart of the universe lives inside us.) 

Son coming up now
Rising like the 
Sun coming up now
Rising for the flowers:

The breathing of this time and space
Will melt into a vision quest
And we will walk with hands held high
To mark the stem of all creation
Lazarus lamenting lows 
Ghosts who press their haunted engagements
Host a planetary match with scruples towards their preservation
Like a son 
Coming up now
Rising up like the sun
Coming up now
Rising up for the flowers:
I can see you dancing with a ghost or two
El corazón del universo vive dentro de nosotros
(The heart of the universe is inside all of us.) 
I can see you dancing with a ghost or two
El corazón del universo vive dentro de nosotros
(The heart of the universe is inside all of us.) 
Like a son 
Rising up like the sun

Coming up now
Coming up now
Rising up for the flowers:

Dangling toes on the edge of a rock
Mangling foes for the sake of a shock
History proves us wrong by a clock
My book's right and your book should be mocked
Dangling toes on the edge of a rock
Mangling foes for the sake of a shock
History proves us wrong by a clock
My book's right and your book should be mocked
My book's right and your book should be mocked
I can see you dancing with a ghost or two.

Voices rise from the sea, unalone on the steep 
Walk through ruins to the uncontained abyss
Lay across the starry fields and knowingness
Surrender to the hidden evergreen, as we return as trees 

Wear the colour of the night, haul the ashes to the mire
To the edge of the kingdom we will stand
Lament not ascensions to the light 

Take this flesh and turn it into wood 
Cast these limbs unto the hallowed earth 
And wood to stone, so I can return, as trees

Silver light, shimmer through watch for dawn 
In these woods of twilight hymns 
A silent void.....

Huge thanks to Syggefigurrer  https://soundcloud.com/skyggefigurrer

A massive thanks to my beautiful Soundcloud friends for your support and kindness. I treasure all of your comments and am eternally grateful to you. May the next year bring you all that your heart desires.

Merry Christmas to everyone on SC

Generic Love Song

So down the rabbit hole we'll always fall again
And bless our magic souls we're in the wars again
so take what you need

I only ever wanted to be loved by you
but it seems our love is not enough to pull us through
I only ever wanted to be in love with you
Maybe our luck can pull us through

So once again we fix our smiling faces on
And look into the crowd and sing our sweet love songs
but we're crying inside

I only ever wanted, only the best for you
but it seems my best was never good enough for you
I only ever wanted, for you to feel it too
maybe our luck will will see us through 

Do you think you can forgive me
For all the things I try to hide
Do you think you can forgive me
For these feelings inside

So bless our magic souls we fall apart again
And bless our tragic souls we try and start again
again and again

I only ever wanted to be loved by you
but it seems our love is not enough to pull us through
I only ever wanted to be in love with you
Maybe our luck can pull us through

I get a thrill from your coy fragility
I could show you a real good time
Stay afloat on my rare abilities
In an ocean of scary rhymes

Cast your eyes on this mass destruction
Shine a light on this fearful thing
You see something, you’ve been instructed 
You want me, you will have to sing   

Storm on the water you better take cover
Cause I’ll paint your sisters and marry your brothers
I won’t be a friend and I’ll bury your lovers
And what will you be when this party is over?

I get a thrill from your coy fragility
I could show you a real good time
Stay afloat on my rare abilities
In an ocean of scary rhyme

Storm on the water you better take cover
Cause I’ll paint your sisters and marry your brothers
I won’t be a friend and I’ll bury your lovers
And what will you be when this party is over?

listen
the hiss of silence
that remains after the scream
of that ghost that no longer shows his face

walking
through the desert
of pleasant indifference
no pain no grudge

Now I feel the ice of my winter on my skin
the fire of my summer
Now I can feel the tremor in my veins

Timeline has lost its endings, no tails to choke on
line is dot, and is my ground
walking the tightrope

The mountain
we had to climb
now gives me beautiful landscapes
to fly over with you

sometimes
your hand, close, I don´t grab it
other times
The ground you step on
isn´t underneath me

Walking The Tightrope ( No Colours Final Mix).

A Great Big Thank You for the talented Tainted Icarus for the bass track. The first working version of this song that I sent to him was quite different than the one playing here. The inspiring bass track challenged me to work on this some big steps forward. Tip of the hat sir!

Enter the Wolves

Open the Door, Enter the Wolf
...

They can't see us
They can't hear us
They can't find us
They can't beat us

They are out there
They are in here

Hide under bed, cover your head
Lay still and don't breathe
All will be well, like they told you

Hide under bed, cover your head
Lay still and don't breathe
All will be well, like they told you

Raise your head, get up from the bed
Stand proud and take the hits
All will be well, like they wanted

All for them
All for them

Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there
Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there
Hide under bed, cover your head
They are out there

They can't see us
They can't hear us
They can't find us
They can't beat us

'Perfect Ten' by Acoustic Growl (Richard Barry)

'Perfect Ten'

I WAS LOST I WAS GONE I WAS DRUNK AS A SKUNK
AS I AM SINCE YOU’RE GONE JUST AN OLD PIECE OF JUNK
WHEN I SAW SOMETHING THERE THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE

I HAD TO CLOSE MY EYES TO MAKE SURE I WAS RIGHT
BUT WAS LEFT WITH NO DOUBT THERE WAS SOMEONE IN SIGHT
SOMETHING BRIGHT IN THE DARK THAT I HAD SEEN BEFORE

COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE YOU
COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE

I HAD NEVER BEFORE THOUGHT IT’D HAPPEN AGAIN
YOU WERE GONE I WAS DONE THERE WAS NO ONE TO BLAME
WAS I DREAMING MY LIFE OR DID MY DREAM COME TRUE

COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE YOU
COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE

BROTHER ARE YOU AWAKE DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIES
IN SPACE IN A CAKE AND SHIPS IN THE SKIES
OR DID YOU DROP A HOLE THAT YOU SUCKED AS A WHOLE

COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE YOU
COULD IT BE COULD IT BE COULD IT BE  
YOU
