IT AIN’T EASY
(DWS - 2022)  

It ain’t easy when we hit the ground
realize there’s no soft spot around
sooner or later we all fall down
that don’t make it easier  anyway
that don’t make it easier for me to say

All the things that we had to say
all the times that I turned you away
all the songs that we wanted to play
it’s easy to get picked up and swept away
 
easy to get picked up and swept away

IT AIN'T EASY

UPDATED VERSION as of Nov 28 2022
MIX/MASTER - WOODS STUDIO

Master of dumb and expert at stupid
I took the boy’s bow and put an arrow in Cupid
Now who’d ever be my valentine?
We had a good run then both decided to pack it in
I’ve been thinking about unpacking us again

Yeah if it’s a bad idea
A silly or even sad idea
A psychic might know but I am not a seer
If I have had another bad idea

Well yes I have blundered once or twice
And that is probably putting it nice
Think flower memorials along the road to love
Should you drive by one of the places where once we'd meet
Would you pull over if you saw me on the street? 

So if it’s ok with you
Maybe we start anew
I can’t always be ruled by my greatest fear
That I have had another bad idea

Who’s keeping score?
‘cuz I’ve got more

Knowing my luck I'll get myself stuck in life's quicksand
Could you wade in and give a guy a hand?

Even if it’s a bad idea
The worst that I’ve had idea
I’ll pick up anytime that you might call
It wont be a bad idea after all

Make me glad
Say it's not a bad idea

Sexagenarian Vol III

Bad Idea

Once again I had the pleasure to write a new song with these very talented guys : Jimmy Rivas and Dairv Dubbleyew.
It started some months ago. I had an idea with a guitar riff and I asked Dairv if he would like to play it.  He did and delivered these mindblowing riffs and guitar solos
Then we suddenly had the foundation for the vocals.
Jimmy wrote these awesome powerful vocals and lyrics to complete the song. What a great singer he is!
Thanks to you Jimmy and Dave for this great collaboration!

The Siren's Call

Gatto Negro

Found an old acapella with Madame Snowflake in my folder, which means as much today as when it was written, and I thought it was time to try to give it a nice setting.
When the foundation was ready, I sent it to David Dunham and asked if he could possibly help with some of his beautiful finger-style playing. And being the gentleman that he is, he immediately plunged into the mysterious room of creation.
A couple of days later I got a couple of lovely tracks with two guitar parts. 
And now you too can share this little journey with us.

We wish you a pleasant journey. ;)

I humbly thank you David for your invaluable help and cooperation in this sweet journey. ;)

Miracles

There is too much talking
And there is nothing left to say
They say faith can move mountains
On my knees I start to pray

Too close for comfort
And too blind to see
It’s black and white, there’s no color
Something coming over me

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

It’s a road less traveled
On a path to better times
All that glitters isn’t gold
Gotta read between the lines

Used to getting what we want
Still don’t realize what we need
We keep burning the midnight oil
Just to satisfy our greed

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

The weight is getting heavy
Nothing ever stays the same
Evolution is the cross we bare
And the price we have to pay

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change, we can’t remain the same
Miracles happen every day
What was impossible fades away

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Nothing Stand In Our Way -  M Snowflake - David D - Seagull

Got a bad back 
from staring at a screen 
Think I’m on the wrong track
I’m feelin’ mean
Forgot how to talk
To other human beings
Forgot how to walk 
Don't fit in my jeans

Take it outside
Take a joyride
Find a new scene
A hit of dopamine

Take it outside 
Take it worldwide
Get it out there
Find some fresh air 

Blinds pulled down
Since 2002
I’m all outta tears
I cried ‘em for you 
Creating beauty
It’s up on the shelf
Lotta pretty things just to myself 
Got a lot to say...it’s a quiet shout 
But I think I wanna let it out

So I take it outside
Make a broadside
Got a strong case
Put on a good face 
Take it outside 
Open it wide
Let the world know
Let yourself go 

Can’t argue with some time on the sofa
Heaven knows, it’s heaven all right
But I think I've gone way over my quota
Time to taste a little sunlight, yeah
Time to taste a little sunlight 

So I take it outside
Open it wide
Get it out there
Find some fresh air
Take it outside
Open it wide
Let the world know
Let your ass show

Thanks again to Amanda for agreeing to sing on this track.  Please listen to her other tracks on @phoebeelena. 

Danny's got the daydream eyes
Looking for a little light

Oh her heart
invades my soul
tonight

Jackie's go the diamond white
Looking just to be alright

Oh your heart
invade my soul
underlined 
like maps of old
still I can't let go

And all the words we never talk
hang like Dylan by the docks
they go 
on and on and on and on.....
in time

Look at me 
I stand in the cheap shoes
Look out at eyes
I see a different point of view

And oh my heart betrays my soul
And oh I can't let go

And all the words we never talk
hang like Dylan by the docks
They go 
on and on and on and on...
in time

and oh
I can't
let go....

Jeffrey Diggins is a singer songwriter from New England. Either writing songs for The Kona Brothers Band or Solo. Come along for a listen...

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
