really like the slow blues/folk melody...nice message as well..

Feelin' good, soundin' good.  Love that guitar slidin' from one chord to the next, little tremelo adds a bit of mystery.

Loving this retro vibe!!! Beautiful guitar! The vocals are gorgeously soft flowing...reminds me of The Animals style.

Teacher:
What have we here, laddie? Mysterious scribblings? A secret code? No! Poems, no less! Poems, everybody!

Teacher:
The laddie reckons himself a poet!

Teacher:
"Money get back
 I'm all right, Jack 
Keep your hands off my stack 
New car 
Caviar 
Four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team." 
Absolute rubbish, laddie !

Teacher:
Get on with your work...

[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

Common music industry questions asked to JTSunrise with responses:

Question: How do you feel about authenticity in music?

Response (JTSunrise): “Community matters. As a licensed busker, i connect with people on the streets. Music isn’t about stages; it’s about moments”

Question: What’s your approach to affordability for fans?
Response (JTSunrise): “i keep my rates reasonable. Music should be accessible. A live show of real deal acoustic tunes shouldn’t break anyone’s bank” I mostly give it away

Response (JTSunrise): “Simple, tell the truth:
1. What is your creative process like when writing and recording music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “A cosmic dance of creation! When i write, i sit under moonlit trees, strum my guitar to owls, let stardust melodies flow. Recording? Well, i channel wave energy into my microphone. It’s all about capturing radiation.”
2. How do you stay inspired and motivated to create music?
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Meteor showers, the way leaves rustle, owls. Motivation comes from the background hum of the universe. i listen to it with a cup of chai”
3. Describe a time when you had to collaborate with other musicians on a project.
    * JTSunrise’s Response: “Had a jam session on Saturn’s rings. We traded riffs like shooting stars. Collaboration? It’s like harmonizing with comets—unexpected mysteries and white celestial light majik magic”

Zhao Gao（?〜207B.C.）

Zhao Gao was a eunuch from the Qin state. From a young age, he served Ying Zheng, the future First Emperor, but his origins are unknown.

He was highly trusted by Ying Zheng and even served as the tutor for his youngest son, Hu Hai.

However, when Ying Zheng died, he changed his will and made Hu Hai the emperor, plotting to usurp the country.

He used Hu Hai as his puppet and wiped out all resistance. Even Li Si was no exception to him.

The Qin Dynasty unified China at the cost of many lives, but due to the misrule of Zhao Gao, it continued to fall into ruin.

　　　　　　　　　赵高

赵高是秦国的一个宦官。他从小就侍奉未来的始皇帝嬴政，但他的来历不明。

他深受嬴政的信任，甚至担任他的小儿子胡亥的家庭教师。

然而嬴政死后，却改变遗嘱，立胡亥为皇帝，密谋篡位。

他以胡亥为傀儡，消灭了一切反抗。就连李斯对他来说也不例外。

秦朝以牺牲许多人的生命为代价统一了中国，但由于赵高的暴政，秦朝不断走向灭亡。

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

The Mare

1
Guernica, the holy city of the Basques, 
Is located east of Bilbao in northern Spain.
It became known worldwide when it was
Attacked by German and Italian fighter planes 
More than 85 ys ago
During the Spanish Civil War 
Bombed the city into rubbles and ashes
And everyone else who lived there before
Guernica, one of the first airborne bombardments 
Aiming to eradicate civilians and other innocents

2
There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
It’s monochrome and cubistic,
It makes your stomach tighten up,
When you think about everything that's happened ever since then and, 
Above all,
What is yet to come ?
What’s next upon the sleeve ?

3
There is a long and 
Pointed, deadly spear 
Piercing right through the chest
That’s like a manifest 
Just look into the frantic eyes of the dying horse
And you know and feel immediately, what’s goin’ on
It makes one wonder who the hell is comitting thus 
And for fucks sake what's basically wrong with us 
There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
No matter what point you may choose
Will the victors again 
be writing down the history ?
It was the victors backthen,
Who wrote down history long ago...

The Mare

I've been away from SoundCloud for a while working on my new album and several writing projects, but the album's nearly done, so I thought I'd emerge from my cocoon and post this song, which means a lot to me. It features my good friend Akmaral Zykayeva on violin. For the past ten years, I've been doing a lot of consulting work in Kazakhstan. I met Akmaral in Almaty, Kazakhstan about six years ago. She is a hugely gifted composer, singer, and violinist who records as "Akmaral Mergen" and also as "Mergen" (Mergen means "woman warrior" in Kazakh).
For this song, Akmaral wrote a beautiful six-violin arrangement, playing all the parts herself.
The photo on the cover is the view from my hotel room in Almaty on one of my trips. In the foreground is Almaty Opera House and in the distance are the snowcapped Tien Shan Mountains (the "Celestial Mountains"). Beyond the mountains is Kyrgyzstan. 
Main guitars on this song are my Taylor GC-5 acoustic and my 1966 Guild Starfire XII (electric twelve-string).
The cricket and bird sounds at the beginning and end were recorded by me with a field recorder in a wild area of southern Wisconsin.
(This song can be found on my "Twilight on Tunnel Road" album, which I'm happy to say won the Alternative Album of the Year award from the Madison Area Music Association.)
LYRICS:
"Let Me Go”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say to you makes it untrue.
Let me go—I can’t say how much I love you.

Taking it all away, I can’t bear the day.
In the night I just see your face staring at me.
Let me go.

Seeing I don’t know why, why you must try
to go far away now, climb mountains so high.

Every single day, I’m making my way.
I can’t deal with you gone and I’m not okay.
Let me go.

I don’t say you should not go—closing off the future before you can know.
I just can’t get loose from your strings,
they’re wrapped around my heart entangling all things.

I remember how we used to play, how we used to dance, how we used to run,
dissolving in the moonlight as if we were one.
And all those days, all those times, all those nights we held to each other,
held so tight as if we might lose the one thing we love.

And I think that I can’t go on now,
without you I’m lost, I just don’t know how.
Now the light has gone out of my life,
nothing ahead but torment and strife.

Twilight on Tunnel Road

I don’t buy anything, process anything, or sell anything- i don’t process anything sold or bought or processed, or sell anything to be bought or processed or sold

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Perhaps they’re a riddle wrapped in stardust, A cosmic wanderer, both mortal and just. JTSunrise, elusive as the morning mist, Their music lingers, leaving hearts gently kissed

**In the gentle strumming of strings and the raw authenticity of JTSunrise’s compositions, you’ll find echoes of love, nostalgia, and the human experience**

Feelin' Good
