just love your feel. this sounds so natural. so good

listening again ...because ... you do it so well

Fine cover Josh, never knew the original was by Lead Belly. Never to old to learn something new every day.

Love how Josh covers a classic giving it his special touch on the string instruments and his deep, resonant vocal. A lovely listen.

great job with  this song Josh, i love it.

the song is still a classic i like it..!! great

Sweet acoustic sounds and vocal harmonies.

Chandelier Light

She lives up on the third floor,
Comes down after hours,
And though she speaks to no one,
You sense her charm and powers.
She smiles across the flickering light,
Sorrow in her face,
No one knows the lady in lace.

Chandelier light goes back forever
In the mirror down the hall,
Sometimes she waltzes with her lover,
Though no one’s there at all.

You hear the floorboards creaking
Up and down the stair,
A doorknob turns, the lights go dim,
You look and no one’s there.
She might be in the balcony,
Leaning toward the stage,
As the curtains open on another age.

Chandelier light . . .

Tell me the truth my friend,
Did someone break your heart?
Tell me where the ghost tales end
And where the true ones start.
The past is filled with such fine things
It makes this life seem thin,
But that mirror cannot let us in.

Chandelier light . . .

<<a breakup song>>

You can read me like a book
You can play me like a song
the one that you turned to 
When things went wrong

The angel on your shoulder
The hero looking over
I’m feeling so much older
And the world seems colder 

your words are a circle
Drawn in the sand
There is no beginning
There is no end

Like wandering the desert
40 days and nights together
I don’t work well under pressure
Can’t find the answer

You can take it like how you want it but I still want to be your friend
Your savior ain’t beside you so unless you look inside you
We’re out here alone
We’ve got to save our own skin

We get up when we’re down
Now were lost, we’ll be found
We go out on the town until the morning comes

We’re a little bit older, you’re a little more sober, I’m a little hungover
When the daylight comes 


life is beautiful
Life is a scream
But here comes the heartache 
that dashes your dream
 
there’s a devil on your shoulder
a shadow falling over
your feel so much colder
The world seems so older

When The Daylight Comes

The Aftermath---just Being
Chorus

We’re chain-linked ——like wired fence
Wrapped together—so intense
Life unfolds —in full segments
Worrying —makes no god damn sense
No matter what we do—there’s no difference

Time is all we have —-and that’s a blessing
taking in —-life’s precious moments —-and not forgetting 
Keeping things simple ——let’s avoid ———the hate and stressing
When I’m living my best life ——-that’s called progressing
Sharing and spreading the gift of love ——-that’s life’s main lesson

I’mer keep this one official —-let’s get it —-in our skulls
We only live once ——and it’s really critical
Finding real happiness ——-is atypical 
But we ——can give our love freely ——it’s almost biblical

We can’t change our past ——and that’s a fact—- indeed
But we’ve gotta come together—in order to —-succeed
nothing is written in the stone ————and —-nothing’s guaranteed
So every second counts —on this point we—agree

We pay the price for freedom —-cause freedom isn’t free
Let’s put ourselves out there—-for love ——-cautiously
Stay healthy and enjoy life—cause we are worthy
Let’s focus on the here and now—and how great life can be

Chorus
We’re chain-linked ——like wired fence
Wrapped together—so intense
Life unfolds —in full segments
Worrying just —makes no damn sense
No matter what we do—there’s no difference

This is a song off of Volume 2 of That Old Time Americana which you can listen to in its entirety on Spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/170Dmo9QlaMn62XbwR7Q5s?si=jrKd5mR8QWOU8_aiY-o9lg

This song is about people that hold extreme biases against the lifestyles of other groups of people. The lyrics delve into the isolation and hypocrisy that breeds these biases generationally. There are detrimental costs associated with this thinking.

Lyrics:
Reasoned away the prodigy lying about responsibility breathing down my sweaty neck loading aces in the deck
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Don't you know the prairie life breeds fear and loathing and lack of spice
scared of your shadow some ghostly matter
voting to deny others human rights
Daddy's a liar but Grandpa's dead
They hated each other for the anger they fed
Breaking away is what the young all do
But eventually they will come back to you.
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Should we rise or sit back and wait
while the dumbass teacher demonstrates
Moving off to another state
never able to self-deprecate
seriously though you have to stop
before we have to call the cops
Many have said you aren't our kind
staying up late and mixing wine
Been all day wasn't kind
Waiting for the call to say it's fine.

The Prarie Life

Questa è la versione originale del brano Fade Away (Dissolvenza) da me composto e riarrangiata da EnricoSonOro che pubblicai verso la fine di giugno. L'ho voluta pubblicare per mostrare come un artista riesce a sconvolgere completamente un brano senza tradire però la natura stessa del brano.

This is the original version of the song Fade Away (Dissolvenza) composed by me and rearranged by EnricoSonOro which I published towards the end of June. I wanted to publish it to show how an artist can completely upset a song without betraying the very nature of the song.

Dissolvenza (Fade Away)

I've written several songs on the theme of lost love. Some on this cloud are: 'Open Heart', 'The Space Between Us', and 'If Love...' 
Here are another couple of songs on that theme.

Night Room (Brian Peters) 

Oh the night has a room for me 
Between the dream and the memory 
I was in the sun 
But I lost someone 
Now the moon is my company 

Book of Books (Brian Peters) 

We walked together 
We became one 
Roses and heather
Flowers in the sun 
Flowing with no backward looks 
We wrote our first words 
In the Book of Books 

Looking for changes 
And opening doors 
Following strangers 
To some foreign shores 
Nesting in our northern nook
We were writing out lines 
In the Book of Books 

But God is righteous 
And God is just 
My spirit rises 
But yield I must 
With one hand He gave 
With the other He took 
We turned another page 
In the Book of Books 

Now I'm alone 
In the middle of the night 
We'll meet in heaven 
Where there is no man and wife 
Before the Living Brook
Writing our final chapter 
In the Book of Books

A collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.

I sent a demo of the song with the basic chord sequence to Torbjørn  and Jimmy in the hope they would consider joining me for another collaboration, Torbjørn to add his exceptional keyboards, Jimmy to write lyrics and provide his powerful and distinctive vocal, luckily for me they both agreed.

Torbjørn  and Jimmy’s contributions have lifted the song to a level way beyond my original demo, thanks very much for your outstanding work guys.

Triumph over adversity is the theme here, I think we can all relate.

BONFIRE
_______________
in this cold world
changing too fast

oh oh oh
hold fast
oh oh oh
hold fast

its been a long long time
we didn’t get 
we didn’t get 
together
together

ah ah

we didn’t get together
had i known
it was gonna be this long
i wouldn’t have - in the first place
in the first - i wouldn’t have
i wouldn’t have held back
held back
had time in the first place
i wouldn’t have held back
i thought i had time
i thought i had time

its not too late
i thought i had time
its not too late 

its not too
its not too late
not too

long embraces and hoping
sharing in something
warm embraces and open
sharing in something
sharing in something

could have been then
slips out in the comfort
could it be now?
if we made it
warm
again?

cause they’re ready now
if we made it
warm
cause they’re ready now

they’re ready now
sharing in something
slips out in the comfort
do it again
do it again, make it again!

make it again!

oh! oh! oh!


Bonfire
Build it up!
oh!
pass the passion
build it up
pass the passion
pass the calm!
oh!
multiply
multiply!
multiply!
oh!oh!oh!
multiply!
hard to die
multiply!
multiply!
hey!

if we make it warm!
warm…. again.

if we make it… warm again.
