Pensées

Can you tell that I love this time of year?

Autumn Brings Sorrow, Winter Brings Suffering

If you even exist
You’re trapped here in this melody
I confess:  I long to be kissed
I long to be gathered up to your breast & caressed
There’s so many that things that I long
But you’re nothing without this song
It seems I’m cursed
I hope I die first
For this song can’t go on
& you’re nothing without this song

Here, I grant you a cheek
Like a high soft meadow
Neath a quiet blanket of snow
Your beauty beggars belief
But there’s nothing more beautiful
To me than your grief
& your wretched religion gone wrong
Now you’re nothing without this song

Like a lost psalm
Or the soft sobs
Of a nymph without a faun
You’re nothing without this song

Hark, whose voice is this now?
Who’s the art, & who’s the artisan?
This song is nothing without
Your fine melodeon
You’re a horseman, a bowman,
A fairy musician
You’re sad, & you’re sweet, & you’re strong
But you’re nothing without this song

All your high hopes
All these sublime tropes
O come on, sing along
You’re nothing without this song

All the violence
& all of these Sirens
& the horn & the gong
All nothing without this song.

You're Nothing Without This Song

An old country blues written by Kansas Joe & Minnie McCoy way back in 1930.
My friend Keith Nicholson makes cigar box guitars...so here's a fun lo-fi track with  both the cigar box picking (via piezo & Krivo pickups) and  Canjo rhythm.

Winter's Snows

I'd like to thank so much  Cosmic Ratzzz for sharing one of his amazing jazzy tracks, I had an immense fun imagining clarinet improvisations on this one !!

So In Love W/ UK Man

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Oh I’m easy come, I’m easy go
And I want all the world to know 
That I love you
That I love you

Count me in, don’t count me out
I’m telling you there’s no doubt
That I love you
That I love you

Chorus

I would walk through fire and rain
Across the hot desert sands
Just to show you baby, that I’m your man

We’ve got time if you got the mind
And I hope, maybe you’ll find 
That I love you
That I love you

Every time I look at you 
Just give me a chance, let me show
That I love you
That I love you

Solo

Oh I’m easy come, I’m easy go
And I want all the world to know 
That I love you
That I love you

Chorus x 2

That I Love You
