Bamboo Wedding Bells

"I shut my eyes too hard, saw shapes and colors
I'm hoping the next time I close my eyes, I'll see another

World where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage dear

I stared too long at a picture of you, saw you when I looked away
Now I won't blink not for a second, know you're here to stay
In this

World where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage dear

In this world where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage"

Six Foot Blonde - Afterimage

wallflower

Easy, Going

Verse]
In the desert's hush where shadows creep
A cactus stands tall no need to weep
With spines like armor it guards its soul
Underneath the stars it feels whole

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Verse 2]
A lizard darts by to steal some shade
Beneath your arms a haven made
Your roots run deep in the sandy sea
A lesson in strength for you and me

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Bridge]
When rain does fall your flowers bloom
A splash of color in endless gloom
Your thorns they speak of trials endured
A silent story raw and pure

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

Chapter 239 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Taffeta 239

TAFFETA | 239

In the smoky air
The strings collide
A blues guitar weeps
It’s my guide
Spanish whispers in the night
Bagpipes call from a distant height

A whistle cuts the heavy sky
It sings
It soars
It won't comply

Winds of the world
They scream and hum
From the highland hills to where oceans drum
Take my soul
Let it run
Winds of the world
I’m undone

Wandering wanderlust .mp3

Chorus]
Nohe
It's time to gather all your animals
Take a seat
Let me tell you what I mean

[Verse]
We've been walking through the forest
Hunting witches
All our friends are
Coming over for the weekend
And I know that
The neighbors think we're crazy
And maybe we are
Maybe we are

[Chorus]
Nohe
It's time to gather all your animals
Take a seat
Let me tell you what I mean

[Verse]
There's a siren on the lawn
And all our friends are gone
And I know
You can tell me what it means
And it's coming back to me
Like a memory
Maybe I'm wrong

[Bridge]
You're afraid of the dark
And afraid of the cold
It's okay
You don't have to go alone

[Chorus]
Nohe
It's time to gather all your animals
Take a seat
Let me tell you what I mean
Nohe
It's time to gather all your animals
Take a seat
Let me tell you what I mean

Nohe,It's Time to Gather All your Animals

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
