Influenced by recent events in my life. March 8th, 2021.

One of my Apple loop mixes/compositions. I'm really happy with this one...captured my thoughts exactly.

My Superpower Is The Ability To Fuck Up My Life...and yet keep going

On Time and Under Budget

Soul love by BeechwoodUK

The Netherland's incredible Rients Draissma tears up our blues rock original Change It Up.   He's simply one of the finest guitar players we've heard, pushing sound, rhythm and harmony.   Check out Rients' superb jazz-rock fusion guitar and arrangements:  http://www.rientsdraaisma.com - his latest album Guitales is simply burning http://www.rientsdraaisma.com/shop-guitales/, and follows up on so many Tribal Tech and Weather Report influenced compositions:  https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma.  Also check out his iJam album, of heavy fusion burners.
I've been fortunate to have recorded a number of tunes with Rients, among some of my favorites here on SoundCloud. 

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Sometimes

sometimes sad
sometimes happy
sometimes gray
sometimes blue
sometimes night
sometimes day
sometimes good
sometimes bad

It is the life
That we all live
There's no difference
Between us
The stars to show
The ways of sailing
The ways of flying
The ways of living

Sometimes

Leo Tolstoy Autumn

Verse 1:
So Many nominations 
Nobel Peace Prize
Nobel Prize in Literature
Such great books


Chorus 1:
Dizzy, whirling yellow leaves fill the windswept air

Verse 2:
Such excellent poetry
Everyone is unhappy in their own unique way
Art is good but incomprehensible


Chorus 2:
Dizzy, whirling yellow leaves fill the windswept air
rapture and with pain Throbbing in my breast,


Verse 3:
My guitar invites, come out my dear
Such an influence on Gandhi
He did so very calmly
Such an unhappy marriage
carriage

Chorus 3:
Our garden stands Flowerless and bare,
Dizzy, whirling yellow leaves fill the windswept air
rapture and with pain Throbbing in my breast,


Unused Lyric Ideas:
Such is the life of this great
So deeply spiritual
Nonresistance to evil
War and Peace
Anna Karenina

Autumn:
Autumn 'tis! Our garden stands
  Flowerless and bare,
Dizzy whirling yellow leaves
  Fill the wind swept air.
Yet the distant mountain ash
  In the vale below,
With our favorite berries red
  Now begins to glow.
While with rapture and with pain
  Throbbing in my breast,
Pressing hot thy hands in mine,
  Silent, unexpressed--
Fondly gazing in thine eyes,
  Through my tears I see--
That I can never tell thee
  How dear thou art to me!

I sing and play PRS LE Tremonti electric guitar on this song.  All other instruments are those available in Cubase or from East-West.

🎵 Fun & Funky 🎵

Most of this piece was recorded in 2016 but I abandoned it until I decided to clean my computer files up recently. I added the vocals and a few horn samples to "finish" it off.
It's "sister" piece which takes the same bass loops, speeds them up and takes it all to a very different place can be listened to here:
