fantastic adaptation and skilful playing 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The fingers dance upon the strings and give the gift of light🌞

I have created this track 5 years ago with GarageBand on my iPad. I was at that time massively impressed, what could be achieved with this small device. So no guitars this time, but instead some vocals and very many synths 😀

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

'Electric guitar' on this track was played by Ivan Azzetti on keyboards.

[lyrics]:

Look on the bright side
Someone reads the letters that you send
Honin' your profile
You want that plastic eye to be your friend

Look on the bright side
Every little thing you say is being heard
Feeding the file
Recording every bit of every word

In your very home
Ain't it good to know you're not alone


When you waste an hour
Flippin' through the channels on TV
Singin' in the shower
Then a beer or else a cup of tea

Do they know, can they tell
Can they hear, can they smell


There's a crumb for every step of every trail
You've been notified your life is up for sale

But look on the bright side
Now you know you'll never be alone


Cruisin' on the highway
Your wheels know just where you want to go
Ridin' in the subway
With the other extras on the show

Do they know, can they tell
What you think, how you smell


There's a tag for every name and every face
Until every little soldier is in place

There's a crumb for every step of every trail
You've been notified your life is up for sale

But look on the bright side
Now you know you'll never be alone

Bright Side

Feeling kinda eighties - yet also more modern; remixed version with renewed freshness, giving the drums a more lively character and cleaned up the synths a bit.

lyrics:

She embraces life as if it is a dream.
She believes in that what she knows at least is real.
She takes no risk, and takes it slow, all the time, weighing all these signals,
the calls, the touch of understanding.
A sweet and subtle shrugging off - the old rebellion;
she has scars enough.
She draws her own path - this expression of that passion held inside.

Vocal: Jan Schonander

Thanks very much to Wypernet https://soundcloud.com/wypernet for allowing me to add a vocal to his wonderful instrumental.

"Chan Chan" is a 1984 son composition by Cuban trovador Compay Segundo. It was first recorded in 1985 by Compay Segundo's own group. In 1987, he approached Eliades Ochoa, who agreed to record a version with the Cuarteto Patria. However, EGREM did not release these recordings until the second half of the 1990s. In November 1995, Compay recorded a new version in Madrid for his Antología, released on CD the following year. In March 1996, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and other veteran Cuban musicians recorded a new version of the song as part of the Buena Vista Social Club project. The song became the opening track of their eponymous album and the group's signature song, thereby achieving international fame.

Lyrically, the song is set on the beach and revolves around two central characters called Juanica and Chan Chan. The most complete explanation says: 'The song relates the story of a man and a woman (Chan Chan and Juanica) who are building a house, and go to the beach to get some sand. Chan Chan collects the sand and puts it on the jibe (a sieve for sand). Juanica shakes it, and to do so she shakes herself, making Chan Chan embarrassed. [...] The origin of this tale is a farmer song learnt by Compay Segundo when he was twelve years old.

The most recognizable part of the song is its chorus, whose lyrics are as follows:

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I get to Cueto, then head for Mayarí

(will be better when i put the bass on)

...these may be brok-en thoughts
but these are all the thoughts i've got.....
(i think these words will be the refrain and the song title will be 'all the thoughts i've got')


maybe a hymn to some of belfast's street/city centre characters from my youth (memories of a guy raving at the traffic lights...now what does that remind me of :-)))....scat placeholding voice while i write the words somewhere quiet and do the usual star-studded, multi-thousand pound production number :-)
a strange improv phrase came out so i thought i'd use it as the temporary title...i think i rhymed it with 'hospital white' ..hmmm or hymn ??:-)

Too clever to seize
You'll never believe
Forever you'll freeze
Broken Bridges

Don't try to stake 
Wise guy, you take 
goodbye, forsake 
BB

You may point to fractured beams
Disjointed manufactured schemes
Those that belong declare their plans
Can anyone repair the span of BB

Just don't police
they'll break the peace
You, won't release
BB
