Truly original take on a love song, both music and lyrics melding into one wonderfully satisfying whole.

I guess looking back there was a time when I felt how shallow and short this life can be and what our existence can amount to are we lost in time what was it all for when we all slip back into the ground....

My Bones all thats left

Ghosts Of Venice


Laughing at the Riverside is a nostalgic indie rock ballad that captures the emotional texture of a summer evening reunion among old friends. Set by the riverbank at dusk, the song explores themes of memory, time, and quiet connection. Through poetic verses and a melancholic male baritone voice, the lyrics reflect on shared stories, lost moments, and the bittersweet beauty of aging friendships. The chorus, anchored by the line “Laughing at the Riverside,” evokes a sense of timeless joy and emotional release. Instrumental sections—ranging from ambient intros to orchestral crescendos—mirror the emotional arc of the night, making the song feel cinematic and deeply personal.

🎵 Laughing at the Riverside
Lyrics by Martin Oliver Beinersdorf

[Intro – Twilight Pulse (0:00–0:45)  
Soft piano arpeggios in low register.  
Muted bass pulses gently.  
Ambient pads with tremolo shimmer.  
Delay-washed electric guitar textures.  
No drums yet, slow emotional build.  
Mood: dusky summer evening, anticipation, warmth.]

Verse 1  
We parked the cars by the willow bend  
Sun bleeding out like a quiet friend  
You brought the cheap wine, I brought the old jokes  
Someone lit a fire, someone almost choked  

The river moved like it knew our names  
Skipping stones, trading old mistakes  
You said, “Remember that night in June?”  
I said, “I barely remember you”  

Pre-Chorus  
But the laughter came easy, like it used to  
And the silence felt softer than truth  

Chorus  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Where the past comes back but never bites  
We were ghosts in denim and light  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Like nothing ever changed  
Like everything was right  

[Instrumental Bridge – Echoes in the Current (2:10–2:40)  
Drums enter with off-kilter rhythm (5/4).  
Muted trumpet and trombone add melancholic accents.  
Dissonant guitar chords slowly resolve.  
Synth sweeps mimic water movement.  
Mood: flickering memories, emotional tension.]

Verse 2  
You played that song from senior year  
It cracked like vinyl, but we all cheered  
The moon hung low like a borrowed time  
And someone cried without a sign  

We talked of jobs, of kids, of loss  
Of how we all got a little lost  
But no one judged, and no one lied  
We just let the river decide  

Chorus  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Where the past comes back but never bites  
We were ghosts in denim and light  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Like nothing ever changed  
Like everything was right  

[Instrumental Interlude – Denim Ghosts (3:30–4:10)  
Strings (violin, cello) play a nostalgic theme.  
Piano repeats intro motif, higher and fragile.  
Slide guitar adds emotional texture.  
No drums, ambient bass carries the mood.  
Mood: time suspended, quiet reflection.]

Bridge  
The fire burned down to a whisper  
And I wished I’d said more to her  
But maybe that’s the point of nights like these  
You feel too much, and speak too little  

[Build-Up – Firelight Crescendo (4:40–5:10)  
Drums return with driving rhythm.  
Brass and strings swell into crescendo.  
Open guitar chords with tremolo.  
Warm synth pad underneath.  
Mood: emotional climax, shared joy and sorrow.]

Final Chorus  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Where the echoes feel like lullabies  
We were young, we were terrified  
Laughing at the Riverside  
Like nothing ever changed  
Like everything was right  

[Outro – Riverside Fade (5:40–6:20)  
Sparse piano notes like water drops.  
Reverse guitar effects echo memories.  
Slow bass pulse like a heartbeat.  
Field recording: river sounds, distant laughter, crickets.  
Mood: closure, memory lingering, peace.]

As I mentioned, last month I broke my leg!  6 weeks in to this I am realizing its going to take a while to get back to normal.  

This track, well more of beat is open for anyone to take and finish.  Originally Jay and I had discussed it being a Beastie Boy type of piece.  Time has gotten away from me...as well as a leg. 

The Welcome Parade has 6 tracks in production and I am behind schedule on everything.  

So hey if you want to take this and do something cool to it.. you have my blessing and just be sure to give me a credit!  

Peace and love my friends and see/hear you soon!

A Million Miles Away (Lyrics)

I've Seen So Much In This World
Been A Changing Of The Weather
There's Been So Much I Have Learned
Now I'm Floating Like A Feather

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I Guess It's Always The Same
Nothing Lasts Forever
There'll Always Be A New Day
Let's Shine A Light Together

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I've Seen So Much In This World
Been A Changing Of The Weather
There's Been So Much I Have Learned
Now I'm Floating Like A Feather

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I Know You Know
There's A Place For Us
I Know You Know
There's A Place For Us

A Million Miles Away

I sent a very rough recording of this tune to Darren and asked him to make an instrumental for me to sing to. He produced two lovely tracks for me to choose from, and I liked them so much I sang to both. Here's the first one, the dreamy version. Thank you as always for listening and thank you, Darren.

No One Understands You Like I Do          

Song, vocals: Janine Levinson 2020
Instruments, mix:  Darren Sullivan @darren-sullivan

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble, and we’ll always be confused
Sometimes it will be ‘cause of me and sometimes ‘cause of you

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
No one understands you like I do

Sometimes you need a lover and sometimes you need a friend
I’m one or I’m the other, and today I’m both of them
But sometimes I am neither  -- and for that I am ashamed

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect
no one understands you like I do

Foggy, floating in a compromise
Coalesce and then diffuse
My purple prose just leaves you mystified
And radar pierces through the gloom

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the useless from the good
Sometimes it’s only possible to be misunderstood
There always will be trouble and we’ll always be confused

But don’t you worry, although I am not perfect, lover
no one understands you like I do

No One Understands You Like I do  -  With Darren Sullivan

I wanted to wish the departure of a person... ... ...  
I made this little piece of music with my Moog, of course, sorry... I stuck various samples on it :-) It's true that it's faster.
Very Happy listening

Verse 1
There’s another fork in the road
Wish I could decide....
Feels like a wolf is tearing at my side

Sometimes you hit the wall
You can’t bridge the divide
Feels like the heat will never subside

Feels like I’m walking alone at night
Feels like a wolf tearing at my side

A full moon is begging to rise
Wish I could fly....
Feels like a wolf is tearing at my side

Feels like I’m walking alone at night
Feels like a wolf tearing at my side
