Some girls can only be dated on gloomy days :-) totally great vocals style, love it

inspired texts, superb music, I really like your songs

I am assuming you played everything because I love the tone of the piano! Great track!

Entertaining paean to your own Elvira or Morticia. I've written similar (other than Spell) so we may share a muse...

Extracts from The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St Vincent Millay 1892-1950
Recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu

“Son,” said my mother,
   When I was knee-high,
“You’ve need of clothes to cover you,
   And not a rag have I”.
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   To make a boy breeches,
Nor shears to cut a cloth with
   Nor thread to take stitches.”
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   But a loaf-end of rye,
And a harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody will buy,”  
   And she began to cry.
 
…

Men say the winter
   Was bad that year;
Fuel was scarce,
   And food was dear.
 
A wind with a wolf’s head
   Howled about our door,
And we burned up the chairs
   And sat on the floor.
 
All that was left us
   Was a chair we couldn’t break,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody would take,
   For song or pity’s sake.
 
…

Looking nineteen,
   And not a day older,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Leaned against her shoulder.
 
Her thin fingers, moving
   In the thin, tall strings,
Were weav-weav-weaving
   Wonderful things.
 
Many bright threads,
   From where I couldn’t see,
Were running through the harp-strings
  Rapidly,
 
…

There sat my mother
   With the harp against her shoulder
Looking nineteen
   And not a day older,
 
A smile about her lips,
   And a light about her head,
And her hands in the harp-strings
   Frozen dead.
 
And piled up beside her
   And toppling to the skies,
Were the clothes of a king’s son,
   Just my size.

[LYRICS]
She comes like the rain					
She comes like a Sunday morning					
She comes like the breeze					
Fresh(es) out a song in my mind					
					
I know it's a dream					
A dream that will soon be awaken					
Like a haunting memory					
I see her face in everything I do					
 					
CHORUS 1					
Nevertheless, with no regrets					
Falling for her deep inside					
Feelings I try to hide, keep on overflowing					
Ha… However, 					
Though something holds us back					
It's hard for me to forget	the tender moments that we have had					

Pastel shades of light					
Turn the page and it's all empty					
Torn between pleasure & pain					
Inside the passions we refrained					
 					
CHORUS 2					
Lingering aimlessly, fate is playing tricks on me					
If that's the way God plans to be					
No one knows where it's leading					
However,  can't get you out of my mind					
Don't you know that every time I close my eyes					
You're back again……..					
					
Instrumental & repeat Chorus 1

Nevertheless

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et tes fossiles, sont bitumés.

Cheveux au vent, sur ta Harley, lunettes noires, blouson clouté,
Easy rider en liberté…
Route 66 vers Santa Fé, rock&roll, in L.A.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, et dans le ciel, t’es éthérée.

Dans ta combinaison anti-G, main sur le manche, regard d’acier,
Looping Top-Gun en liberté…
Une escadrille de têtes brulées, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, tellement tonique,
Toxique, extrêmement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton énergie, est carbonée.

Porsche 550, Spyder, à l’est d’Eden, et d’ailleurs,
Fureur de vivre en liberté…
Route 4.6.6 Californie, rock&roll, in L.A.

Tonique, extrêmement tonique,
Toxique, tellement toxique.

Hé, Mrs Gasoline, arrête ta frime, t’es démodée.
Hé, Mrs Gasoline, ton corps de rêve, est gazouté.

A toute allure sur la chaussée, Ford Mustang, débridée
Un homme une femme en liberté…
Un dérapage contrôlè, rock&roll, in L.A.

Vampire Dressed In Lace

Halfway to Heaven
(John Stone)

I’ll never get to heaven
After all the things I’ve done
When offered up temptation
Temptation always won

But when I’m with you baby
I really couldn’t care
For all the stars in heaven
As you take me half way there

Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven then
This is what I’ll say
Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven
Then I'll know I’ve been half way

I saw you on the dance floor
Invited you to dance
Our bodies met in time and space
And there we took our chance
Though I’d like go to heaven  I really couldn’t claim 
If I had my time all over that
Things wouldn’t  be the same

Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven then
This is what I’ll say Hey Hey
Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven
Then I'll know I’ve been half way

We write a story
The story of our lives
We hold the pen so tightly
It comes as a surprise
When words we’ve written
Are not the words we say
The part we would have wished for
Cannot be the part we play

But when I’m with you baby
I really couldn’t care
For all the stars in heaven
As you take me half way there

Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven
Then this is what I’ll say
Half way to heaven
If on judgement day
They won’t let me into heaven
Then I'll know I’ve been half way

Halfway To Heaven

I would imagine the life of a Werewolf must be tough, relying on a full moon to have the strength to go out and get a good meal. I had no idea what this song was about until I finished it. Second tune with a vocal. I hope you enjoy it.

No Moon

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious). After a long break from music, it feels good to be doing it again. I consider myself more of a singer /songwriter than a musician with strong instrumental skills. I can strum a guitar and play chords on the piano but, in regards to my songs, I am using a variety of software tools to try to make my songs sound as good I can - chipping away at them using Logic Pro X 
 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
