Thanks for this bright, sweet, positive collab J BeAt. Floating on good vibes : )

Great collab…wonderful vocals and performance, fantastic production!!!

Having received a wonderful selection of inspired takes on two simple guitar pieces which I posted for open collaboration, I figured I should collect them like a little bouquet of musical flowers. Here they are for you to enjoy : ) The original pieces -- out there . . somewhere & writ in air -- are free to download and to tinker with and re-interpret, should you feel so inclined. 
(Please let me know if you do : )

out there . . somewhere ~ writ in air :

Still working on developing a jazz vibe – this one is in A flat Major and has a bit of a soul-jazz flavor.

Intro
You can cross that bridge tonight
See what’s 
On the other side


Verse 1
I can help you down
To get your feet back on the ground
It’s your life

Refrain
a bridge to something new
Feel the life inside of you
It’s a bridge to something new
It’s your life

Verse 2
Don’t let the sun go down
Before you turn this thing around
It’s your life

Refrain
It’s a bridge to somewhere new
Feel the life inside of you
It’s your life
it's your life
it's your life

it's a bridge to something to new
it's all waiting for you
it's your life


outro
see you out on seventh street
you’re the one they want to see 
so good to see you on your feet

it's so good to see your face
hanging out around this place

it’s your life….
It’s your life….
It’s your life…

The bridges

With a tip of the hat to Woody...

Hit the ground crawling, seems a thousand years ago,
Ever since been falling down, no place I called home.
Now the tides of time are rising, waters lapping high,
No sense in compromising when you’ve no need for goodbyes.

Would have made peace with the Lord, if only I could find him,
Never did return my calls, guess he’s time a-bidin’.
So I figured as I’m all alone, and ever so shall be,
Grind my boots down to the bone, walking to my destiny.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

At my silhouetted bridge of sighs, pause to catch the river air,
Reflecting on a life slipped by, meet my solitary stare.
So I’ll lay me ‘neath the willows at the babbled brook-side edge,
Mossy rock eternal pillow, sand my final bed.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

………

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Where I’m headed the freight train knows,
Distant crying whistle calling softly to me now.
Drenched eyes fall ‘neath setting sun, 
Final call for moving on,
After all, even one can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

Light tomorrow

Bad weather in my life,
one more ordeal to live,
the light will pierce these dark clouds,
the sun rays will illuminate my soul,

black yesterday, gray today, 
black yesterday, gray today,
light tomorrow, 

only hope survives,
that glow in the back of my mind,
this joy finally rediscovered,
this peaceful spirit forever,
this lightness of thinking, of dreaming, of living simply,

day and night, I want the light,

every day, 
I need your light,
every day, 
I need your light,
every day, 
I need your light,

Light Tomorrow

I had lots of fun writing this upbeat latin vibe song! Big thanks to my lovely Sander for mastering and making it sound so fabulous. 😊❤️🎶🎵🎼🎧🎹🎤

I'm very happy that Terry was inspired to lay down some improvised, free-style, clear-eyed observations on where the ? we're going : )to the tune of 'out there . . somewhere'. https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/out-there-somewhere

guitar by learningtoplay // beats, bass, free-style poetry & vocals by Terry Wigmore (improv transcript below)

I have half a mind to write something profound: something that would not easily be forgotten.
And then my thoughts run away with my logic 
Running to the extremes of existence, thoughts of the cosmological meaning of
a grain of sand, on a polluted beach, soon to be underwater, from global warming.
Temperatures rise, people's feeling's rise, dough rises, yeast...
Flat bread, Flat earth... how can we connect all these tings?
Line ups on the top of Mount Everest! Who would have thought that this would be a thing that you could see in a movie clip on the evening news? Breaking News! Mountaineers fall to their deaths waiting in line, through lack of oxygen. Maybe we should give a few politicians some lack of oxygen and see how they fall?! Too much air on the airwaves, not enough content. A million channels, high -speed delivery system...no one listening...no one cares.
Shoe-box size satellites, 60 of them released. Supposed to be putting the internet to every space available on the surface of the earth. Internet? How about food? How about clean water? How about a place to feel safe? How about a place of refuge for a refugee? A place of comfort for those who traveled and struggled all their lives, escaping one form of persecution only to fall to a legal entanglement that keeps them dying in cages. So much to ponder, so little time.
Life is full of these enigmas. Or is it that life is full of mystery wrapped in an enema?
A whole lot of house cleaning to be done.
What does it take? What would it take for us to to work together for once, just once? Solve the problem of , “I don't like you, but I'm willing to work with you?” “ I don't like your...thoughts, your clothes, the colour of your skin, the books you read, the celebrations you have,...but I'm willing to work with you...”
Because I don't need to be right, I just need to be free...free from HATE.

We all came from somewhere. We're all migrants from a place that we called home. Whatever that place looks like now, home is where the heart IS...where you feel connected! You might have been unplugged, perhaps forcefully unplugged, but you're here NOW. THIS is home! This is where we have to work together, to love, to live, and to build together, to Be Free...

(T Wigmore, in the flow with learningtoplay's 'Out There . . Somewhere')

out there . . somewhere (ltp + Terry Wigmore)

I stumbled upon this track yesterday, an open collab: https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/out-there-somewhere and produced this remix - flute addition in a very spontanously first go. Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/ ... hope he will like my idea, and of course all inclined listeners too ! enJoy !

out there ... somewhere // by learning to play - remix = flute added

I was really stoked to hear from letterfounder that he'd finished his song 'back at the cave', based around my instrumental 'writ in air'. 
I love his fascinating, exploratory music, great lyrics and vocals. For more of his excellent work visit: https://letterfounder.bandcamp.com
