Lyrics:
Escher
By David Husted 

I can't explain the unexplained
Seasons change but not this pain 
You took my heart I must confess
This empty space inside my chest

Could you perhaps bring it back?
I think it  would help me stand back up
From holding everything with all my might
From holding everything so god damn tight

They say Let it Go
They say Let It Go

Could you perhaps bring it back?
It would help me stand back up
From holding everything with all my might
From holding everything so god damn tight

Let it Go
I got to let this go

Set it Down
Burn the Ground
Let her go
I Know
Turn Around
Lost
You Can't Find Me
 
The sea swelling, swelling a quiet turquoise blue
The sky follows, follows but I can't follow you
It was a  perfect, perfect, impermanent
Lovely life

I can't explain the unexplained
Seasons change but not this pain 
You took my heart I must confess
This  empty space inside my chest
 
Could you perhaps bring it back?
I think it  would help me stand back up
From holding everything with all my might
From holding everything so god damn tight

Hello Dear Listener, 

It is interesting how I produce a song.  If you are listening to my new song Escher for the first time, or if you will be listening to it shortly (it will be released on 02 APR 21 as of this writing), please know that I myself have already listened to the song approximately 1 Million 700 fifty thousand and two times. I am joking, however, I have indeed listened to this song many, many times during both the crafting and mastering stages.  This is the same pattern for all my songs and I suspect it is the same pattern for any music song writer and producer.  My point is, since it is my song, I have a certain unconditional love for it, even if I think it will not necessarily be one of my best. In other words,  I never really get sick of it.  It is part of me somehow.  Yes, perhaps I may have some form of pervasive, neurotic obsessive compulsive need to endlessly loop and tweak a song into oblivion but that is another matter : ).  To wrap this Blog up: I just love creating music and appreciate that you are here joining me in my continued creation journey.  Much Gratitude. 

Cheers to You 

Dave

Why is it called Escher?  As with all my song's, it is usually a combination of the moment, the music arrangement and the sound particulars.  Finally, the lyrics exactly or by some subtle vibe the atmosphere of the lyrics creates.    

This song has a patch I found using my Omnisphere Synth called Escher's Staircase.  So, obviously, that patch had something to do with it.  However, the lyrics, though not actually having anything to do with Escher or his work, did contain a certain vibe that felt like someone wandering through an Escher like maze where one finds at every turn some Twilight Zone like mis-direction of where they actually thought they would end up. So that, in a nut shell, is how I landed on this song title.  It just felt right to me after I had time to simmer in the stew of the lyrics and song for a bit post production.  I often give my song's a "tracking" name as it develops but this often changes or morphs as production evolves and the song falls into its final tapestry.   

Thanks and if you have any questions or comments let me know. The song is scheduled to release on 02 APR 21!    Thank You for dropping by my Music Cave!

Dave

A Path To The Meadow - part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at Anthology Records.

Steve asked me if I would like to make some additions to his song and this is the result! It's got a nice laid back groove, and the extract from St Pauls letter to the Corinthians is a philosophy that we should all live by : )

It's so sad  that we can not have gigs.  Musicians all around the world still have hard times due to pandemic.
I composed this song for my band, but the next gig is cancelled because COVID-19 infection is increasing again. So I present this song in one-man band style here .

Lyrics:

is it possible?
make life better
take a step further

is it possible
to do something good
when I have nothing to give
but me
nothing but me

just me
the ugly me

fear and doubts are on the menu
my own skin becomes the venue of the fight

can you feel the stress
don't you feel opressed
no, I'm not obsessed
don't you be upset

can't you feel the stress
no, I'm not obsessed
I just feel opressed
and you make me upset
oh you make me upset
denying your strengths
ignoring your worth

why can't you see what I see
I wish you could see throught my eyes
that you are in the sunrise

is it possible
can I stop it?
to bash myself
can I trust it?
having faith in me
finally

cauze you're digging you're hole
and you're bashing your soul
by trusting your failures
is the fate you deserve
oh you're bashing your soul
and you're digging your hole
by trusing your failures
condemn you to the same behavior

I had this idea for an album of all my unfinished and incomplete tracks. This is an example of an experiment that just didn't go anywhere beyond what it is. There's something to it that I like, but I couldn't take it any further. Hope you find it enjoyable!

WHITE NOISE

'Strong' is a song I wrote after a policeman instructed me to leave a city’s shopping street while I was working as a street artist. I was so… can I say ‘pissed’? So I had to write a song about it. This was 1992. I played the streets a couple of years when I was a student.

The lyrics of the song (below) point to a broader and still current subject. Staying strong in dynamic times is important for every one of us I think. Today more than ever probably. Follow your personal believes in peace all :)

Lyrics, music, vocals, guitar and copyright Mike Spring
Guitar is a Crafter or a EKO steel string acoustic, I'm not sure
Recording: live, analogue (Tascam 4-track)

This is a recording of a song 'just written'. In this respect I should have uploaded it on my other page https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/tracks but I didn't :)

Mix: In Cubase I edited a small guitar part around 1:03 minutes because I played one chord a little too long which interrupted the meter of the song.
Master: The stereo WAV track I used had been mastered before so it was not clean when I mastered it again. 
Equipment: Steinberg UR824, Ozone 7 adv. (EQ, Imager and Vintage tape) plus Lexicon LXP Native Hall Reverb VST

Lyrics:

Hey what’s your name
I’m not a game to play
Hey we’re the same
You should feel ashamed to say
I don’t belong to this day

[chorus:]
If you think you’re strong
I’ve got something for you
Cause I feel strong
I think my way
Nothing’s gonna change that
I think my way
It makes me what I am
I feel strong
I feel strong

Day by day
Strongen my way   [note: I know this is not proper English 😉]
Leaded by the inner words I pray
Hey I’m not afraid
To feel the shade
Because I know who I am

[chorus]

砂上の楼閣（remix／rearrange）Building a castle on the sand

Red Dirt Diamond Lyrics

This is about how a kid can have the greatest memories even though the times were very hard.  We hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics;
The field was old , I was young
Just a red dirt diamond and more weeds
than grass

My friends and I, a ragtag crew
From the wrong side of the tracks

But hey, we were always there to play
And hey batter swing away

My old man worked at that old soup plant
Like most the dads of the other kids

The families from the factories
were only just one step
from sliding down to the skids

But hey, in the field we'd always play
Hey batter swing away

The color of the memories begin to thin
To black and white and of mice and men

Sometimes we'd all just up and fight
Because someone would lose their temper
But mostly we all got along
At least as best I can remember

The field is old and so am I
And no one plays out there no more

The final game had long been played
And no one kept the score

But crazy me, my thoughts go there each day
hey batter swing away.

Red Dirt Diamond

Since 2020, I have been producing music with DAW software. I can play the guitar and bass, but I only use it a little to compose. Regardless of the genre, I hope you can experience the music that shakes your heart and enjoy what you create freely.
