Nice picture, nice intro  epic tune. loved it. must repost.

I need some happiness in my life, thank you JJ

You were already talented at the age of 14!! Amazing piano piece! 😉

So good JJ. really lovely piece. Brilliant 👏

Wow you really did the Bob Ross thing? I love watching the episodes, but couldn‘t imagine that anybody would actually *do* it :-)

And that’s a very nice and elaborated tune with some tricky harmonic things which perfectly work. And it’s so freely flowing... like a rêverie for people who cannot sleep but are happy about it :-)

This is the most beautiful piece of music. Just wonderful :-)

Mighty purdy with wonderful shifts in mood

January Is So Simple

According to the story of Buzz Aldrin during his trip to the moon his vision of "fireflies" through his cockpit.....! Thanks for your listen ! : )                                              Sounds of perfect landing : https://soundcloud.com/blink-twice-archival/sets/ark-dambient-open-collab

The first song I ever wrote (memorized) when I was about 14.

I recorded a new version on April 3, 2023.

A Moment of Happiness

Lyrics:
This little town seems sadder
Since we lost Old Jack
Knew this day was coming
Holding the tears back
-----------------------------
Old Jack was kind and simple
No better friend to find
Knew he cared sincerely
How we loved him dearly
-----------------------------
He treated all the same
Knew everyone's name
Listened with great interest
Always glad you came
-----------------------------
We sing this song for Old Jack
Best man we ever knew
Who taught us pearls of wisdom
And wise things to pursue

Old Jack (with Vocals)

Traduit plus bas
----
Lost in the wild, like the other souls, I've endlessly searched for you.
Are we born to be alone or is happiness only made for two

Like two sides of a coin, we belong
To each other we'll be strong
Somewhere in the crowd 
we finally found each other through the storm

From birth to death, everyone in this world, shares a cruel fate 
We feel incomplete, until we find out, somewhere there's our soul mate

So we belong
To each other to be strong
Somewhere in the crowd 
we finally found each other through the storm

You're my miracle  
One chance, one chance, one in a million
You're my miracle  
One chance, one chance, one in a million
You're the one 

So we belong 
To each other to be strong
Where have you been?
When i was searching all the  years
Alone, in between
My melancholy and my fears

You're a miracle  
You're my miracle 

----

Perdu dans la nature, comme les autres âmes, je t'ai cherché sans cesse
Sommes-nous nés pour être seuls ou le bonheur est-il seulement fait pour deux ?

Comme les deux faces d'une pièce, nous nous appartenons
L'un pour l'autre, nous serons forts
Quelque part dans la foule 
nous nous sommes finalement trouvés à travers la tempête

De la naissance à la mort, tout le monde dans ce monde partage un destin cruel
Nous nous sentons incomplets, jusqu'à ce que nous découvrions, quelque part, l'âme soeur

Ainsi nous appartenons l'un à l'autre pour être fort
Quelque part dans la foule nous nous sommes finalement trouvés à travers la tempête

Tu es mon miracle  
Une chance, une chance, une sur un million
Tu es mon miracle 
Une chance, une chance, une sur un million
Tu es la seule

Ainsi nous appartenons l'un à l'autre pour être fort
Où étais-tu quand je cherchais toutes ces années
Seul, entre ma mélancolie et mes peurs

Tu es un miracle  
Tu es mon miracle

Now Or Never

John Stone: Music, lyrics, piano, lead vocals

She was born on an isle off an island
In the midst of the Emerald Sea
Her daddy spied a light in her eye
That showed what she was born to be

And they called the girl Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learned
Should be learned again

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia knew that she was loved
But she knew that she was poor
One morning when out gathering
Between the strand and the old sea shore
A pirate blown by cruel fate
Slipped his anchor close to land
When he spied the girl his pirate mind
Thought he’d take the girl in hand

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

He took our fair Virginia
Set course for the Isle of Man
He hoped that on the island
There he could complete his plan
But the ocean storms were brewing
And they blew them out to sea
Till the ship was was smashed on the distant shore
That we now call Cape Henry

And the land was called Virginia..

Now Virginia swam towards the shore
Though the company was drowned
But she gathered strength and she walked the way
that leads to James’ town
Now Virginia saw Virginia
And knew that the land was good
And that she could build a better life
than ever she’d have thought she could

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia came with nothing
But nothing was enough
To build herself a better life
Though the going would be very tough
She had an eye for business
And she had an eye for style
And she became the richest soul
In the county by a country mile

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Then one fateful morning
A stranger came to town
She saw at once the hated face
Of the man who’d tried to drag her down
A gun was on the table
She held it to his head
And as he begged for mercy
This is what the lady clearly said

“You brought me to Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learnt should be learned again
Its true that life’s been good to me
Since you took me from my home
But leaving all that I held dear
That choice was mine and mine alone”

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Virginia  (John Stone + Del Wags)

Original song and lyrics by Linda Straub

Let Me Go 
(In memory of my little girl Daisy I just lost)

Lyrics

Mommy it's time to let me go,
I know you heart is breakin'.
You see me everywhere,
in my basket of toys, soft bed I slept in.


I had to rise above this earthly world
and leave all my suffering behind.
Although I hated leaving you,
please know, we'll meet again in time. 

Let me go where I can run free,
my  body healthy and anew.
Picture me the way I used to be,
the way I'll be when next I see you

You gave me such a wonderful life,
and I always felt loved and adored.
I know I made you happy too,
you were my person, and I was yours. 

I know you are crying now,
and don't want to give me up.
The years we spent together
were so precious to this pup.

But now, you need to dry your tears,
and find the strength to let me go.
We'll meet again one day you'll see.
We'll be together forever then.. you and me. 

We'll be together forever then..you and me.


Let Me Go (Original)

I feel so lucky that Dave Orestes 1 allowed me to record a rendition of his wonderful song " What Is Rich" ! 

Written by Dave Orestes 1 
https://on.soundcloud.com/JG7gH

Recorded/Mixed: Audacity
Guitar: Cort MR710 LH NS
Mic: Rhode USB Mini
Tam Jennifer: Interpretation, Vocals, Guitar, Mix & Master

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.
