Magical playing JoJo...You make me dream every time !!

Ahh man, this is so delicious. you've taken this in so many different directions but all arrive at the same gorgeous destination. One of my personal favourite interpretation of this other than yours now! is Chet Bakers and Van Morrison's live at Ronnie Scott's in 1987. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoHBUtGMxFs

Such a beautifully layered and rich version of this classic.  I am in awe of your mastery of the piano.  

Incredible work Jo_Jo !!! I've listened to a few of your tracks and I have to say I love them! Great playing and ideas !! :)

Send In The Clowns

My first track of the year in 2020; I had no idea how prophetic it would be.  We all lost loved ones or know someone whose loved ones perished in the pandemic (still ongoing) and the heart's cry was to have "one more day" to say what needed to be said, to give them a hug or a kiss, share a laugh or a tear; to give them a fond and fitting farewell.  Annie @annie-smart-1 added a lovely vocal and piano part to this song that lifts it to another level.

For One More Day (instrumental version)

Here`s a track from my latest album which I released november 2019. One can download it on services like Itunes or Spotify

mijn idee toen van een hitje , ik was toen wat in de fantasie taal , best leuk vond ik toen en nu nog wel , de bas riff is een heel laag gestemde elektrische gitaar  

WAHAHIHAHOE 2 met geha   64

Fear is just another word
For hide behind the mask
All this things that sould be done
But we afraid to ask
Looking back I realize
There some more that meets the eyes
Looking back I realized lies

Here we are, playing game
Madness is the name
Remember times when we were stronger
And all this fortune and fame
Knocking on the empty door
Search for truth, nothing more
Haven't found what was looking for

This is not the path we choose
No revert, No excuse
It happens when you blindly follow
All these dreams of tomorrow
Is it true, is it real?
Cannot tell, cannot feel
This is not the path we choose
No revert, No excuse

See it, feel it
Holding in arms
Never let go
Forget fears and harms

This is not the path we choose
No revert, No excuse
It happens when you blindly follow
All these dreams of tomorrow
Is it true, is it real?
Cannot tell, cannot feel
This is not the path we choose
No revert, No excuse

This Is Not The Path We Choose

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

-------------------------
I don't want to sleep
when there's a ton of things I wanna do
I don't need my bed
when there's a rhythm that makes me move

But my tired body
is attracted by gravity
and I will fall asleep

I feel like sleep is a waste
when I'm crazy about the moment
I feel like there's something else to do
going to sleep now will make me blue

But my tired old shell
can't stop rining the warning bell
and I will fall asleep

I want it to last, this moment, always the same
I try to be wise, but I can't, I just want it again

I will fall asleep
oh no, gravitiy is appealing me, is attracting me
I feel like I'm in cotton, bottomless wadding
never reaching the bottom, till I found myself
laying down

Now I deeply sleep
and my body can get the rest it needs
I don't want to wake up
cauze I don't know what things I'll deal today

But my tired body
just want to stay casually
in my happy dreams
yeah my tired body
want to stay comfortably
in my lazy dreams

and the cycle repeats itself
I never want to sleep, I never want to wake up
