LYRICS: 
See the lightning on the skyline
Hear that thunder roll
Feel the storm rising in the midnight air
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

See the snow capped mountain in a big blue sky
Hear that mountain stream begin to flow
And that stream becomes a mighty river
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

So many questions
Where are the answers to be found?
Is my head way up in the clouds?
Are my feet on solid ground?
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

From this headland looking out to sea
As the ocean breeze begins to blow
Wave after wave washes over me 
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

Hear That Thunder Roll

Only You

Dear friends, 
A lot of aid workers have now travelled to Turkey for to help the poor people there.
I admire all Aid Workers. They travel to distant areas in the world to help people in need. It can be countries affected by wars, earthquakes or epidemics. I lift my hat for them!

Aid Workers

We say wellcome home to all those folks
who travelled for to help those in need
in countries very far from the place where they live
where they feel safe
They have risked their lives among dangerous people and 
animals as well

There are doctors and nurses who want to save
the people who suffer from serious wounds
caused by bullets or bombs on the house where they live
it is so hard
They have risked their lives among dangerous people and 
animals as well

During periods of plague, they want to help
all those who are affected by deadly infections
They care for them and they give them all support that they need
for to survive
They have risked their lives among dangerous people and 
animals as well

Approximate translation to Swedish
Biståndsarbetare
Vi säger välkomna hem till alla dessa människor
som reste för att hjälpa behövande
i länder mycket långt från den plats där de bor
där de känner sig trygga
De har riskerat sina liv bland farliga människor och
djur likaså

Det finns läkare och sjuksköterskor som vill rädda
de människor som lider av allvarliga sår
orsakade av kulor eller bomber på huset där de bor
det är så svårt
De har riskerat sina liv bland farliga människor och
djur också

Under pestperioder vill de hjälpa 
alla som är drabbade av dödliga infektioner
De vårdar dem och de ger dem allt stöd de behöver
för att överleva
De har riskerat sina liv bland farliga människor och
djur också

Approximate translation to French
Travailleurs humanitaires
Nous disons bienvenue à tous ces gens
qui a voyagé pour aider les personnes dans le besoin
dans des pays très éloignés de l'endroit où ils vivent
où ils se sentent en sécurité
Ils ont risqué leur vie parmi des gens dangereux et
les animaux aussi

Il y a des médecins et des infirmières qui veulent économiser
les personnes qui souffrent de blessures graves
causés par des balles ou des bombes sur la maison où ils vivent
C'est tellement dur
Ils ont risqué leur vie parmi des gens dangereux et
les animaux aussi

Pendant les périodes de peste, ils veulent aider
tous ceux qui sont touchés par des infections mortelles
Ils prennent soin d'eux et ils leur donnent tout le soutien dont ils ont besoin
pour survivre
Ils ont risqué leur vie parmi des gens dangereux et
les animaux aussi

Heaven Is Of Honey

I started with an image of my grand daughter on her roller skates and thought about the feeling of freedom on those skates.  Then I drew on some memories from childhood, a class mate who went AWOL with a rock n roll band, which at the time I though was really exciting.  I've mixed reality and fantasy and created a song about looking back at life, the things we did and didn't do.  I've layered up the sound using Audacity and a Roland Duo-Capture Ex interface, my Yamaha P - 121 digital piano and SM 58 mic.  Sorry about the gap at the start, this is the first time I've used a metronome to try and keep to time and the first track had a couple of intro notes, but I deleted it as I didn't like the sound.  Unfortunately I don't know how to edit the first few seconds out.  The painting is an old one of mine,  I think it reflects the song to an extent.  Thank you for listening and I welcome your feedback as always.  I've tried to use techniques that came from this lovely SC community and I'm very grateful.

I Wish That Girl Was Me

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I made a deal with her.
she is the universe.
give me just this one thing.
I'll crawl out of my hole.
And let you in my soul. 
Forget I am nothing. 
So please.
Let me see.
well beyond me.
into thy naked eye.
Please
let me feel.
something unreal.
before I up and die. 

You are song and light.
You are an endless night.
It all seems so magic. 
But everything you touch.
returns to you in dust.
It all seems so tragic. 

Thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein for the excellent advice.

A Perfect World

bad habits (chaos)

at the intersection of melancholy and cute... a song about tentative beginnings.

Starfish Lips (translated from Korean) 

Looking at the sea 
to see the sky 
Our hands, like two starfish 
How cute they are, you said 
That these pink stars try so hard to live 
"Starfish Lips" 

My lips are also clumsy 
But in a different way than a child 
The same things we understand… 
The things that we teach, we also learn 
"Starfish Lips" 

The reason I'm so quiet 
Is not because I have no words 
It's like English to a fish… 
My heart is too full 

You said they looked 
Like little pink children 
and you too are a star... 
"Starfish Lips" 

-----------------------
Starfish Lips (Korean lyrics) 

하늘별보고 바다 보면서 
두마리 불가사리 우리손 
열심히 살려고 하니까 
분홍색 별 귀엽다고 
"Starfish lips" 

내입술도 서툴러 
어린애완 다르지만 
이해하는 똑같은 
가르침 배운다 
"Starfish lips" 

조용한 이유 말없다아니라 
영어 붕어 가슴 가득차니까 
분홍색 아이 것 같다고 
너도 별이다 
"Starfish lips"
