Lyrics : Walker
Music, Vocals & Production : Sarah Paradise-Brown

This is a very personal song to Walker, written entirely by him. The lyrics are his, and his original vocal and music idea helped shape the overall feel. I reworked the melody slightly and produced the music, aiming to stay true to the emotion behind his beautiful words. It was a real privilege to be part of bringing this to life.

Be sure to check out Walker’s other work. He’s a fantastic person and a truly talented songwriter.  https://soundcloud.com/user-329901696

Saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

Got a feeling you could be 
all i'll ever need to see
the sun on the waters 
chasing the screams 
that taint my dreams

got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend .. 

instrumental ..

i saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can steal
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all i need right now  
is a hand to hold 
all i need now  
is a friend 
is a friend 
all i need now is a friend

Friend

Sand flows down the dunes of time
Land that grows is immune to crime
Hand to those in tune with the design
As sand flows down the dunes of time

Fine
I'll climb
Time after time
Shine
And climb
Time after time

I've only pain left
On the plane I left
I'd hate to reign in death
And remain blessed

Be damned your woes, from noon 'til five 
Lend your bones to a wounded desire
Spend your goals to consume some more life
And rent imposed, soon the land will be mine

Sand flows down the dunes of time
Land that grows is immune to crime
Hand to those in tune with the design
As sand flows down the dunes of time

I've only pain left
On the plane I left
I'd hate to reign in death
And remain blessed

Quiero ir a Alaska

Era un día después de puente
y se oía gritar a Vicente:
venga chavales, menos hablar
que ya es lunes y hay que trabajar.

En una mesa Chupito a Juan
le comentaba la gran novedad:
hay que ir a Alaska a reglar un rodillo 
y quieren que vaya con el abuelito.
Ilusionado el joven Chupito 
cantaba así.

Estribillo

Quiero ir a Alaska con Abraham
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Herrera
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Aznar
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.

Quiero ir a Alaska con el Ramón
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Fortea
Quiero ir a Alaska con Pasamón 
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.


-----------   

Chupito soñaba con ese viaje
y le pedía el permiso a su padre
que extrañado, antes de dar
el visto bueno, se fue a comprobar.

Ya en la empresa osó preguntar
¿es fantasía o realidad?
no había viaje ni había rodillo
sólo la broma de un listillo.
Desilusionado el pobre Chupito
clamaba así.

Estribillo 

I Want to Go to Alaska

It was the day after a long weekend
and Vicente could be heard shouting:
Come on, kids, stop talking
because it's Monday and we have to work.

At a table, Chupito was telling Juan
the big news:
we have to go to Alaska to fix a rolling pin
and they want me to go with Grandpa.
Excited, young Chupito
sang like this.

Chorus

I want to go to Alaska with Abraham
I want to go to Alaska with Herrera
I want to go to Alaska with Aznar
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

I want to go to Alaska with Ramón
I want to go to Alaska with Fortea
I want to go to Alaska with Pasamón
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

-----------

Chupito dreamed of that trip
and asked his father for permission
who, surprised, went to check before giving
the go-ahead.

Once at the company, he dared to ask
Is it fantasy or reality?
There was no trip, nor was there a rolling pin,
just a clever kid's joke.
Disillusioned, poor Chupito
cried out like this.

Chorus

Quiero ir a Alaska

There to here  Pt. 3

Rivers flow by

Imagine a rainy autumn evening. People are walking with umbrellas while a light rain is pouring down and cars are slowly driving nearby. I made this piano improvisation and found a match with the description of the scenery...not the most "happy" scene, but more like a typical moody moment. 😊

Rainy Streets

Something a little different. Hope you all enjoy it. Thank you all for the feedback💯👊🏾🫵🏾 

It's a Vibe

Gone is the anger.
Gone is the fight.
Gone is your passage into the light.
Gone are the left
Gone are the right.
Gone is your wiggle room.
When things get tight.

Gone is the doctor.
Gone is your hope.
Gone is the ladder. 
Here's some rope.
Gone is the daydream.
Frittered away.
Gone is the saving up.
For rainy days.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone are the holy.
Out for a drink.
Gone for a cigarette. 
Having a think.
Gone through the window.
Gone through the door.
Gone is the condemnation.
All for more.

Gone is the outrage.
Gone is the time.
Gone are the young men.
Sinking their wine.
Gone is the passion.
Blowing away.
Gone, paranoia.
Gone are the brave.
Away.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone/Glass

When the night falls, and the bassline rises… you don’t just listen — you remain.

AMANECER

Empieza a amanecer
y el sol se asoma lentamente
por entre las montañas,
dando paso a la mañana.

Perdido en las tinieblas
contemplo mi pueblo y a sus tierras
que conforme viene el día
se van llenando de vida.

Estribillo

Me gusta ver cómo amanece
y con calma esperar que venga el día
el canto del grillo se muere
en cambio el del gallo se anima

Me gusta ver nacer el alba
y sentir el frescor de la mañana
los rayos del sol en mi cara
la tranquilidad en mi alma.

------------------
El día comenzó
y se ven las aves junto al cielo
expresan con sus trinos 
la alegría de vivirlo.

Contento y satisfecho
emprendo el camino de regreso
y cuando despierta el pueblo 
es cuando yo cojo el sueño.

Estribillo

DAWN

Dawn begins
and the sun slowly peeks
over the mountains,
giving way to morning.

Lost in the darkness
I contemplate my town and its lands
which, as the day comes,
are filled with life.

Chorus

I like to watch the dawn
and calmly wait for the day to come
the cricket's song dies
but the rooster's comes alive

I like to see the dawn break
and feel the freshness of the morning
the sun's rays on my face
the tranquility in my soul.

------------------
The day has begun
and the birds can be seen against the sky
expressing with their songs
the joy of living it.

Happy and satisfied
I start my way back
and when the town wakes
that's when I fall asleep.

Chorus

Amanecer AC

VIVENCIAS

Hoy volví a escuchar un cuento
y un montón de recuerdos
a mi mente vinieron;
hoy volví a través del tiempo
a esos primeros años
donde no hay desengaños.

Hoy volví en sueños a vivir
mis primeros años de escuela
aprendiendo a leer y a escribir
y jugando a la bandera. 

Estribillo

¡Qué bonito es soñar despierto!
viviendo todo un ayer
que siempre está en el pensamiento
pues son los años de la niñez.

-------------- 

Hoy volví en sueños a vivir
y jugaba al bueno y al malo
con pistola, cuchillo y fusil
y una caña para caballo.

Estribillo

Hoy volví en sueños a vivir:
me bañaba en los pozos del río
y comía moras y regaliz
que abundaban en el estío.
 
Estribillo

	
Hoy volví a escuchar un cuento
y un montón de recuerdos
a mi mente vinieron;
hoy volví a través del tiempo
a esos primeros años
donde no hay desengaños.

Hoy volví en sueños a vivir
esos años de monaguillo:
mosén Pedro y las “picias” sin fin
pues éramos a cual más pillo.

Y los días que sentí en mi pecho
la fuerza del primer amor
cuando dije el primer te quiero
y di el primer beso de corazón.

Estribillo

EXPERIENCES

Today I heard a story again
and a lot of memories
they came to my mind;
today I went back through time
to those early years
where there are no disappointments.

Today I came back to live in dreams
my first years of school
learning to read and write
and playing flag.

Chorus

How beautiful it is to daydream!
living a whole yesterday
that is always in the thought
for they are the years of childhood.

--------------

Today I came back to live in dreams
and played good and bad
with pistol, knife and rifle
and a cane for horse.

Chorus

Today I returned in dreams to live:
I bathed in the river wells
and ate blackberries and licorice
that abounded in the summer.
 
Chorus


Today I heard a story again
and a lot of memories
they came to my mind;
today I went back through time
to those early years
where there are no disappointments.

Today I came back to live in dreams
those years as an altar boy:
mosén Pedro and the endless "picias"
Well, we were the most rogue.

And the days that I felt in my chest
the strength of first love
when i said the first i love you
and gave the first heart kiss.

Chorus
