Name: Lonely Holiday (Original Composition) by Joel Koster
Duration: 3 min 35 s
Description: This is a experimental composition of mine that I wrote a little while ago and recently finished mixing. It is essentially a bit of soundscape going through various different movements. I attempted to capture the feelings of a Holiday, filled with joy and emptiness longing to return to where you once were.

Spectacular.  So many moods in one piece.

Excellent! Took me back to great memories.

The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie)

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described[by whom?] as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".

In 1999, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Peter, Paul and Mary:

Peter, Paul and Mary were an American folk-singing trio whose nearly 50-year career began with their rise to become a paradigm for 1960s folk music. The trio was composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. After the death of Mary Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.

Mary Travers has said she was influenced by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. In the documentary Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On — A Musical Legacy members of the Weavers discuss how Peter, Paul and Mary took over the torch of the social commentary of folk music in the 1960s.

Blowing In The Wind 
ภาษาไทย โดย ภาณุ ปิ่นทอง

How many roads must a man walk down 
มีถนน สักกี่สาย ชายต้องผ่าน

Before they call him a man
ก่อนใครขาน ลูกผู้ชาย ให้โลกเห็น

How many seas must a white dove sail 
กี่ทะเล พิราบขาว เจ้าลำเค็ญ

Before she sleeps in the sand
ก่อนจะเห็น หาดทรายใหญ่ ให้ได้นอน

How many times must the cannonballs fly 
อีกนานไหม ลูกปืนใหญ่ ยังปลิวว่อน

Before they are forever banned
ก่อนซุกซ่อน เอาไว้ ไร้พิษสง

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
คำตอบนั้น พลิกพริ้วไป ไม่มั่นคง

The answer is blowing in the wind
ดุจสายลม พัดกระแส แปรเปลี่ยนไป

How many times must a man look up 
นานเท่าไหร ใครสักคน ทนแหงนหน้า

Before he can see the sky
ก่อนพบว่า ฟ้าสีคราม งามสดใส

How many ears must one man have
คนหนึ่งคน ต้องมีหู สักกี่ใบ

Before he can hear people cry
ก่อนเขาได้ ยินเสียงไห้ จากปวงชน

How many deaths will it take till he knows 
จะต้องตาย อีกเท่าไหร ให้เขารู้ 

That too many people have died
จำนวนผู้ วอดวาย กายสิ้นสูญ

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
คำตอบนั้น แกว่งไกวไป ให้อาดูร

The answer is blowing in the wind
เหมือนลมหมุน วุ่นวาย แล้วคลายเกลียว

How many years must a mountain exist 
นานกี่ปี ที่เขาขุน หนุนตระหง่าน

Before it is washed to the sea
ก่อนเซาะผ่าน กลืนหาย ในกระแส 

How many years can some people exist
กี่ปีเล่า ประชาชน ทนขื่อแป

Before they're allowed to be free
ก่อนเปลี่ยนแก้ จากทาสไพร่ เป็นไทชน

How many times can a man turn his head 
กี่ครั้งที่ มีผู้คน เบือนหน้าหนี

And pretend that he just doesn't see
แสร้งทำที ไม่มองมา น่าฉงน

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
คำตอบนั้น พริ้วแผ่วไหว ให้พิกล

The answer is blowing in the wind
เลห์ลมวน คือคำตอบ มอบผู้คน

Lonely Holiday (Original Composition)

This is a cover of David Bowie's 1983 hit "China Girl" that Paul did a great instrumental version of and asked me a couple of weeks ago  if I'd be interested in singing along to ... I was :-)

Lyrics :

I could escape this feeling 
with my China girl
I feel a wreck 
without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating
loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing 

I'm a mess
without my little China girl 
Wake up in the morning where's my little China girl
I hear her heart beating 
loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing down

I feel a-tragic 
like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China girl says
"Oh baby just you shut your mouth"
She says : "sh-sh-shhh"
