I heard a politician say he wants to bring us back to 1952.
But I'd rather living here living in the present with you.
1952 I'd rather be living here in the present with you.

Father comes home every evening. Looking so debonair. He puts I Love Lucy on the TV set and lies around in his underwear. Empty beer cans strewn about. It’s the antithesis of Better Homes and Gardens. He lights up another cigarette and inhales the hydrocarbons. And he scratches his belly and he says to himself life is good I should feel blessed. But there’s a twinge of pain in his stomach and lately work has got him stressed.

I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952. I’d rather living here in the present with you. The old people reminisce about all the things they miss.  I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952.  
Mother has her hair up in curlers. As she cleans up the household mess. And when her husband comes home tonight she’ll greet him in a pretty dress. She reads good housekeeping diligently looking for the latest advice. But sometimes she feels like a character who’s living in a fool’s paradise. And  she’s striving for an ideal that is impossible to achieve. And there’s an itch that she keeps on scratching but there’s no way to relieve.

Nice houses in the suburbs.  Bomb shelters in every backyard.  People driving their American built gas guzzlers down the boulevard.

Junior wears his coonskin cap and he likes to shoot his BB gun. He used to play cowboys and Indians but now fighting communists is more fun. At school the kids practice duck and cover so they can survive the H bomb. In ten more years if he survives he’ll be fighting off in Vietnam. And sometimes he has nightmares where he dreams about the start of world war three. Cause lately it feels like he might be living through the end of history.

I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952. I’d rather living here in the present with you. It may have been good for some. But not for everyone. I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952.

1952

Music isn't just a melody -it's much more .
For me, it means strength, hope, reliance, comfort, joy, and happiness.
Musik is the key to my soul!
My name is Lilli A. I know i am young. However, music means the world to me. It helps me to understand and express my feelings and thoughts.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my songs or even leaving a comment! 
Love Lilli A💝

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2025.

Please don't 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It's no kind of compliment and you will be BLOCKED, as will all scammy pitchers.

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.

I am human, with loops and a DAW, and days in the world lived  - with joys and loss.....my music may show some of this to you

...someday, I'll take a music lesson. 

Until then, I invite you into my different visions of what music is. I apologize in advance for not having picked a path, as I sometimes find it suffocating to stay to a particular sound.

Like life, I stumble through songs until I find my way. I truly hope you enjoy these "small journeys" I have posted. They are just a short glimpse into my absurd mind and sometimes fragile emotions. I hope that this music takes you somewhere as it did for me.

-T.
 

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

I like to compose in different styles, deeply influenced by classical music, especially Baroque. I love soul, funk, jazzy rock and pop.
