Thank you! I'm checking out your stuff right and enjoying it so far.

Nice man.  You keep the verses quiet & simple, so just the addition of banjo & tambourine give it a nice pick-up on the chorus.

really like the folk feel to the melody..banjo really pushes it there as well...lyrics have lots of wonderful images and tell a thoughtful story

Sounds great. Not hearing anything sub par on this song. Reallly like it.

～ Lyrics ～

One day when I was waiting for the bus ,there was a boy.
The little boy was looking down ,looking down at the ground ,sitting down.
At first I didn't notice him at all. Why didn't I notice the cute boy?
Maybe my mind was too busy ,too busy with many problems.

So I realized him sitting down next to me.
"What is given his gaze?"
There was a blue flower ,a very blue ,small and beautiful flower.
Suddenly the boy stood up and smiled at me and disappeared from my sight.
On a hedge ,there was a white little kitten purring cutely.

A gentle breeze blew ,fluffy white clouds were floating across the blue sky.
My mind was too busy to not notice how peaceful the world around me.
"What is the reason for my waiting for the bus and for getting to my destination?"
When I said to myself ,the little boy was running with a gust of wind ,in front of me.

"Why are you ,why are you so serious?"
The boy told me as if his voice made me awake from my daydream about our problems.
In broad daylight at the rural busstop ,that was a little occurrence.
It was the time I was waiting for the bus to somewhere ,alone.

"There're many problems around the world" ,I heard it from my cell phone.
The young man with glasses was talking to somebody quietly and seriously.
...Many wars ,poor crops ,children's starvations ,observation under governments...
My mind was too busy and daydreaming about all the problems.

"It's all right for your mind to be so busy 
as far as you cannot forget loving ,loving the wonderful world."
The cute boy whispered and smiled at me waiting for something. 

Then I realized I lost Love ,wasn't conscious of that
and my heart could not sing songs joyfully.
I couldn't notice the flower because I was daydreaming 
,my eyes were closed in front of the world.  

The trees were covered with green leaves ,white birds were flying...
I couldn't notice ,couldn't see all the sights.
At that moment a little old ,rusty bus arrived at the rural busstop where I stood.

"The world is far ,far beyond your imaginations 
,although there're too many problems around the world ,but they're just bad illusions."
Leaving the words ,the little cute boy disappeared with a gust of wind 
,at the rural busstop in broad daylight. 

Why am I ,why am I so serious?
I say to myself ,riding on the rusty ,old bus rattling noise along a rural area.
A gentle breeze blows ,fluffy white clouds are floating across the blue sky.
It's the time I return to the ordinary life from solitude...
...With a little Love...  

...Why are you ,why are you so serious...? 
...Don't forget ,don't forget loving ,loving the world...
...Although there're lots of miseries all over the world...

TESTO

Volevo festeggiare con te
Ma mi accontenterò del vino
Sono passato da noi e ho preso già quel che avevo
Ma non mi ricordavo di un posto cosi vuoto
Qua ci son fogli che non san di niente,
Contratti dell‘Iren
Ed il tuo calendario
Con le frasi fatte di 365 giorni di felicità
E qualche peluche che ho nascosto nell’armadio
Ma come sempre ti ho lasciato un’anta aperta
E di sette anni non c’è
Non c'è già più una traccia
Basta poco ad abituarsi
Ad amarsi
E a svegliarsi con tutta un'altra faccia
La faccia di chi è lontano
Con una maniglia nella mano
Con una maniglia nella mano
E devo far presto a non lasciare traccia
Devo lasciarti le chiavi nella posta
Devo riuscire a chiudermi la porta alle spalle
A pensare che non c’è niente
Di eternamente stabile
Nessuna colpa da distribuire
Nessun ritorno in gran stile
Bisogna ripartire
Al primo vero litigio siamo affondati
È uscito tutto in una sera
Perché i non detti son rimasti tali
Ah, dimenticavo la tua borsa nera
E questa vecchia casa ormai sa di galera

LYRICS

I wanted to celebrate with you
But I'll settle for the wine
I passed by our place, and I've already taken what I had
But I didn't remember a place so empty

Here, there are papers that don't smell of anything
Contracts from the water company
And your calendar
With the clichéd phrases of 365 days of happiness

And some stuffed animals that I've hidden in the closet
But as always, I've left a door ajar for you

And there are no traces left of seven years
There's already no trace
It doesn't take much to get used
To loving each other
And waking up with a completely different face
The face of someone far away
With a doorknob in their hand
With a doorknob in their hand

And I have to be quick not to leave a trace
I have to leave the keys in the mailbox for you
I have to manage to close the door behind me
To think that there's nothing
Eternally stable

No blame to distribute,
No grand return.
We have to start over

At the first real argument, we've sunk
Everything came out in one evening
Because the unsaid things remained that way

Oh, I forgot your black purse

And this old house now smells like prison

Borsa Nera

'Echos In The Wind' is a Fusion track inspired by the perpetual coming and goings, dramas and ceaseless movement of life in my garden. Plants, animals, fish, insects and trees all involved in this continual cycle of birth and death. It's no wonder I spend half of my day in my garden.

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

BACK DOOR DOUBLE DEALING ( You Don't Know The Blues )

I specialize in sub-par cell phone recordings with a mix of Americana, folk, blues, and... whatever else you want to call it. Typically recorded in my basement while trying very hard not to wake up the kids. 

I really love listening to everyones music. There are so many talented people on here. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening.
