Adieu 2017

Improv En El Avila

Desert Dweller

This song came about while I was helping with one of my older brothers during his last days. He passed away in Dec last year after a battle with cancer. He lived up on the mountain where we grew up. The song actually came from thoughts about one of my other brothers because he was unable to come and visit in time due to his own failing health. It is hard when you are sitting and watching someone on their death bed and there is nothing you can do. 


Running Out of Time
John Delk 2017

I went up...on the mountain
In the cold …winter snow
I looked down ...at the valley
Where the wild flowers grow

Now where... does the time go
I can't say that ..... I don't know
I called on.... an old friend
Just to say... how you been
I was too late... to see him again
His days.... had ...come to end
damn
(chorus)
There's old souls an us younger fools
We're all running out of time
Tomorrow might be...your last chance
Tonight it feels like mine

I'm gonna sit here ...with a bottle
An remember …my old friend
Think about…..the good times
An forget about…how they end

When it's too late....It can't be again

GC music composer

Running Out of Time

Dear friends and listeners,
here's a collaboration that Alphio ( @alpha-roots ) kindly offered to me; as usual, I lazily took the easy part, just singing and mixing, while Alphio wrote the whole song and lyrics and gave me the whole instrumental.

You may have noticed that I've never tried to publish anything in time for some occasion, and in fact it's a little late for Xmas...
But if you want you can consider this our gift for this year's end, with our best wishes for a bright and serene new year, in the face of anything you may be facing. :)

-- Lyrics

Watching our little planet - tell me what you see?
Watching our little planet - tell me what you feel?

If we could fly ... so high
If we could reach ... the sky
You would change

Watching our little planet - so small and blue
Watching our little planet - so sweet... like you

If we could fly ... so high
If we could reach ... the sky
Life would change

Watching our little planet ...
Watching our little planet ...
Watching our little planet ...

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
