This is one of my 'lounge series' acoustic thingies.  A simple one-take song/story for voice and piano.

Listen

Listen, I want to tell you, I respect you, I admire you
Listen, I want to open up, enfold you with my heart
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m talking in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I want to tell you, what’s the point in carrying on?
Listen, I’m giving up now, just can’t take this pain of losing
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m crying in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I need to tell you, how I love you deep inside
Listen, goddamn you listen, it’s no use, you run and hide
Been building walls up so long now, you’ve walled yourself away
If I come too close, you’re cornered and you toss my love away

Then I notice that you’re crying, in a small and subtle way
But there’s no way in to hold you, so I have to walk away
And I realise your pain now, the parts of me you heard
had to drown me out, had to knock me down, you couldn’t bear my words

And it’s all over now, the phone keeps ringing
and there’s really nothing left for us to say
it’s all over now, I watch you as you turn and walk away

Listen...

Thank You very much for 1000 plays! ❤️

This is little experiment for me - a revamp of an other persons track.
About 4 months ago I came across a song by Donak RV "Duo Melodica" https://soundcloud.com/donakrv/duo-melodica. I really liked it, and since I was working on the song "You Can Count on Us", I had a free nylon guitar from @heavyocitymedia Foundations on hand. I started improvising to it... and this remix/revamp was born ;) I sent Donak RV a sample and he agreed to let me perform this "devastation" of his track ;) This version is made on the basis of an MP3 file downloaded from the author's profile. A stem version is still in development.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit :)

LYRICS

I started off underwater,
Way deep in the Sea. (X2)

Though the Sea of Life, 
Tried to hold me down,
I broke free from the depths,
Now It's time to get my Crown.

Cuz I'm King,
Rockin this track,
Tryna get my Bada-Bling.
Ain't no holding back,
I... I'm in for the WIN.

From East to the West,
Raise your hands if you've been Blessed.

From the North to the South,
Spread the Love thru Word of Mouth.

I started off Under Water,
Way Deep in the Sea.  (X2)

Metamorphosis

Thank you, ZÍO for the collab and implementation of this concept. It was really enjoyable.

This song I wrote in 2022 during the pandemic and it's about how little time we have on this earth, we're gone at a drop of a hat. I made the middle 8 into a waltz to show a time shift of about 200 years, how we were then and how we are now. I gave the verses a prog feel, like YES a little, and I had a time clock ticking away in the background. Everything can't be a love ballad or a Wildcat Bounce, you know! I also produced a video that's really cool, it will be on YouTube next month or so. https://youtu.be/o2BNNb7EgQU
So get out and play people now before it's too late! Cheers!🍻

“SO LITTLE TIME”

OUT OF THE BLUE, SUDDENLY YOU ARE BORN,
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, YOU'RE WITHERED, TATTERED, AND TORN,
IT ALL GOES BY SO QUICKLY,  
LIFE JUST PASSES YOU BY,             
ONE DAY YOU'RE YOUTHFUL AND STRONG, 
THE NEXT DAY YOU DIE, BYE-BYE, BABY, BYE-BYE,

JUST YESTERDAY, ALL WAS SHINY AND NEW,
WITH A FLICK OF THE WRIST, IT'S NOW TAKEN FROM YOU,
PLEASE TELL ME THE REASON? 
TELL ME WHAT WAS MY CRIME?
TO BE BORN IN A WORLD WITH SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,

A DANCE IN THE MOONLIGHT,
WHERE LOVERS ARE FOUND,
TYING THE KNOT, SETTLING DOWN,  
FROM YOUR WIFE'S WARM EMBRACE,
INTO THE COLD GROUND,
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ALL BOUND,
(CAN YOU DIG IT?)
     
NOT LONG AGO, A KID KICKING THE CAN,
AT A DROP OF A HAT, NOW A WORN-OUT OLD MAN,  
IT WAS GONE IN AN INSTANT,
SOMEHOW LESS SUBLIME,
SO MUCH LEFT TO DO WITH SO LITTLE TIME, 
SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME, SO LITTLE TIME,
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME.

"SO LITTLE TIME" (VIDEO -https://youtu.be/o2BNNb7EgQU)

To What Extent is the first single to be released on Scratch Kelly's forthcoming album, of the same title.
A reflective outpouring of sound, inspired by the search for some kind of limitation. An emotive soundtrack, set to a shifting seasonal atmosphere, anchored by a heavy synth bassline and mixed downtempo beats.
