This is a track I wrote back in 2017 using IOS GarageBand. I must confess that it's one of my favourite and that's the reason I reworked it on Logic Pro and mastered in Ozone. I only refined it here and there adding or replacing sounds in order just to sound better but to preserve the vibes and the inspiration I had at that time.
Thank ups for listening.

My dear hometown has everything
A place where I can smile and be happy
Friendly people, cozy streets
A local pub with all I need
But now I live in a noisy town
Busy people, I'm on my own
I think a lot about where I am
what am I doing? Why am I here?

I'm gonna pack my bags and leave
Back to the place where my heart is
To find peace and smile again
Friendly people, make a friend

Birdsong, laughter
No more heavy noise
Back to my hometown
I have made my choice

Birdsong, laughter
No more heavy noise
Back to my hometown
I have made my choice

So dear hometown here I come
Leave all the noise behind me
Walk down the cozy street
To the local pub with all I need
I am not a city girl
Its to much noise
That's for sure
The bags are packed
I'm ready to go
To the place my heart already know

I'm gonna pack my bags and leave
Back to the place where my heart is
To find peace and smile again
Friendly people, make a friend

Birdsong, laughter
No more heavy noise
Back to my hometown
I have made my choice

I'm gonna pack my bags and leave
Back to the place where my heart is
To find peace and smile again
Friendly people, make a friend

Birdsong, laughter
No more heavy noise
Back to my hometown
I have made a choice..

Back To My Hometown

How do you measure someone's "worth"? Is there even such a metric?
I think there is. It is something beyond wealth or posesions because these things are at best of make believe value: temporary,fickle,transient. How much is a dutch tulip bulb worth today??
What one does to build a better,more secure,more equitable world with less stress and conflict..that is something worth measuring

lyrics

If all you want is more
then you'll never have enough
you won't know where you are
you won't know when to stop

flying blind with no controls
you grab at shadows in the dark
things you want not things you need
you fill your boat till it won't float

leaving all you love behind
because you didn't realize what you've got
you don't take time to think or listen or to talk

your path's the same as all the rest
It starts with birth and ends with death
what you do along the way
defines your legacy

not what you own
or what you stole
or who you conned with falsehoods told

bridges built not bridges burnt
is what will define your life
who you helped not who you hurt
will tell us what you were worth

what are you worth?

This composition presents you with a musical plateform that represents you calling out to your  past family, friends or people you have felt a bond with,or who are experiencing hardship.
The Sad Souls are captured in the -Celo, flute and piano.
The Happy responses are felt in the guitar and piano
I hope you can relate to this composition as it allows you to  create your vision.

My Soul cries out for you

LANDS OF FOOLS 2024.

We all have hopes and dreams and items on our bucket list
And sometimes we go to bat and we swing and we miss
It’s easy to get discouraged and find an excuse to quit
It’s easy to walk away and decide not to commit

If every day you wake up and you rinse and you repeat
And you play the same old song with the same old tired beat
It’s time to shake things up
It’s time to stir the pot
It’s time to dust off your dreams and give it your best shot

Sometimes it feels like the world is spinning out of control
You try to make the world a better place but you keep digging a deeper hole
Sometimes it feels like the game is rigged and the odds are stacked against you
And you’re not sure you want to take a bite cause it’s more than you can chew

You can try to be an ant, or you can try to be a grasshopper 
But maybe it’s better to be somewhere in between

Food clothing and shelter
Once those needs are satisfied
Some people just like to kick back and enjoy the ride

Some people don’t know when to stop
They just want more and more

Sometimes you just gotta keep on slogging through the mud
And think happy thoughts as you try to ignore the crud
Hold your breath and try your best not to notice the bad smell
Pretend that you’re in heaven when it feels like you’re in hell

If every day you wake up and you rinse and you repeat
And you play the same old song with the same old tired beat
It’s time to shake things up
It’s time to stir the pot
It’s time to dust off your dreams and give it your best shot

You gotta stir the pot, you gotta stir the pot, sometimes you gotta stir the pot.

Stir The Pot

A few people have contacted me about the original track "Talking to myself",   and asked if they could hear an acoustic version, so here it is. appreciate your likes/comments/plays etc etc

Hope you like

Talking To Myself (Acoustic)

Pipers was supposed to be part of a 'triptych' but now has ended up being a 'polyptych'...

Dall-E SUCKS as there are no explosions going on in the image, as the prompts were blocked due to "unsafe image content detected" (explosion)

Explosions were part of the track...as artists we should be able to express what we want without regard to some algorithm dictated by our 'betters"...

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.
