Great one. Just a bit too short. BTW the emphasis of jardim lies on the second  syllable. It's a long English e  so  djadeem 

transportive! brilliant, my friend. A beautiful journey to an idyllic place, perriwinkle toe nail polish for the win! :).

😭😭😭, Haven’t even reached the other tracks yet, Collab inspired, Spoken word. Solid work, Words weigh with ears of intent of enlightenment. 🌞🫰💯😇

digging back thru the archives here... lol. I probably mentioned it before, but your singing reminds me of Tori Amos. Thanks for the description of this song - what a wonderful place, and your lyrics do it justice! the music here also has an almost 'old Europe' feel to it, especially that acoustic guitar/harp instrument (keyboard). Really nice work here Kate!

Berklee Music Wellness Assignment #1: Create Your Song.
Written, Performed, and Produced by Kate Stanton 4-17-21

This song is about a beautiful place called Garden by the Sea in Madeira, Portugal. I learned about it on my work desktop's Windows 10 'Spotlight Image' login page (I included the exact image as the thumbnail). I was so inspired by the photo, that I wrote a Hallmark movie-style storyline of a writer leaving it all behind and starting over somewhere new. My intention is to leave listeners feeling inspired about their dreams. I added some ballet, acrobatics/gymnastics, and jazz-inspired dance moves for additional musical elements which I will later choreograph for a YouTube video. Lastly, I recorded this song using GarageBand and will share via SoundCloud for peer-review on the discussion board.

Lyrics:
In my mind's eye
In another life
I can see the waves crest 
at 8 meters high
I'll learn how to surf
You will spend your days
reading Leo Tolstoy
next to the fire
I'll learn the language
and sing in the circles
of people who care
we laugh and we cheer
You'll watch for whales
as I look to the sky
My toes painted periwinkle blue

I'm falling for you hard, Jardim do Mar.
I'm falling for you hard, Jardim do Mar.

Garden by the sea
I dream that we're free
I can smell the sea breeze
upon awakening
sunshine on my face
smiling for days
as we watch our grand babies dance
we bottle their laughter
and teach them to sing
no deficits here
we laugh and we cheer
you walked her down the aisle
I helped with her dreams
her doe eyes sparkling only for you...

We've fallen for you hard, Jardim do Mar
We've fallen for you hard, Jardim do Mar.

Jardim do Mar

LYRICS & VOCAL by J.J. Terrell

I am extremely proud of J.J. Terrell, who took a digital composition of acoustic and Dobro slide guitars that I wrote years ago, and fashioned it into a gem worthy of Nashville. He wrote beautiful lyrics to a new melody, sang the lead vocal, added stunning piano, violin, and percussion triangle — all performed by J.J. 

Please give him praise on this one — Rolling Home, a love song with the soul of Southern Rock and sound of Country about a traveler headed home to a beloved. To J.J. 👏👏👏

LYRICS by J.J.
Now the sun’s setting low, painting the sky
The closer I get, I can’t help but sigh
All the pain fades with every mile
Soon, I’ll be home to your loving smile

The porch light’s on, I see you there
Waiting with a heart, so full, so rare
You’re my song, my heartbeat’s tune
Rolling home, I’ll be there soon

Rolling home, through the thunder and rain
Each mile a memory, each turn brings the pain
I’m counting the hours, 
Til I hold you tight
Rolling home
Back to your light

Rolling Home

Bluesinha is a cheeky little blues that tells the story of a smooth-talking hustler who underestimated the girl — and ended up getting what he deserved. But in the end, they find common ground, and desire wins out. A tale of love for lust, or maybe lust for love.

Little Blues (Bluesinha)

Listen here, my girl,
Don’t mean to play you wrong,
Hope you’ll forgive me,
But tonight I can't come along.
I got no cash on me,
No ride, no fare,
And I know you don’t
Take buses anywhere.
My vibe is rock and roll,
But your scene’s pop and gold,
It’s money...

I’m a streetwise stray
In this crazy town,
Was a punk, Hare Krishna,
Now I sleep on the ground.
I got nowhere to go,
Got nothing to share,
No dog, no room or sofa,
No TV, not even air.
But if I steal your mint drop,
And sip your whisky on the rocks —
That's sweeter...

My vibe is rock and roll,
But your world’s pop control,
It’s money...

Now listen up, my dear,
Let me make it clear,
I don’t want your money,
Don’t care what you wear.
My folks pay my bills,
That much you should know,
Cash ain’t what I’m missing —
Just got nowhere to go.

My vibe is pure raw lust,
Your scene’s all junk and dust,
So hollow...

So come on now, my love,
Let’s not waste the night,
I’m finally gettin'
What’s been feelin' right.
You want me,
And I want you too —
Why worry 'bout the rest
When the world’s just passin' through?
Our beat is touch and heat,
Our world’s a Woodstock street —
So mellow...

And our life is tight,
Our kiss? A bolt of light —
Straight yellow.

Bluesinha é um blues canalha, que conta a história de um malandro que subestimou a garota e acabou levando o troco. Mas no final eles se entendem e o desejo prevalece. Uma história de amor ao tesão, ou tesão de amor.

Bluesinha

 
Escute aqui menina,
Eu não quero te enganar,
Vê se me desculpa, 
Mas hoje não vai dar...
Não tenho dinheiro, 
Tô sem condução,
Sei também que você 
Não é de pegar buzão.
Minha balada é rock,
Mas seu mundo é pop,
Dinheiro...
Eu sou bicho urbano, 
Dessa cidade louca,
Já fui punk, Hare Krishna
Hoje eu durmo numa moita
Não tenho pra onde ir
Nada à oferecer
Cachorro, quarto ou sala,
Nem banheiro nem tv.
Mas se eu te serro um drops,
Seu whisk on-the-rocks
Primeiro...
Minha balada é rock,
Mas seu mundo é pop,
Dinheiro...

Então preste atenção,
Vou te explicar meu bem,
Não quero sua grana,
Nem saber o que Tú tem,
Minha família é quem me banca,
Você deve saber
A mim não falta grana,
O que me falta é quem comer.
Minha balada é fuck
Mas seu mundo é junkie
Fuleiro...
Então venha meu amor,
Não vamos perder tempo
Agora eu to sacando,
O que está acontecendo
Você me quer, 
Eu te quero também,
Pra que saber do resto 
Se o mundo vai ou vem
Nossa balada é o toque
Nosso mundo Woodstok
Inteiro...
Mas nossa vida é top,
Nosso beijo e um choque!
E meio....

A Romance Torn By The Wind

I don't intend to preach to anyone. I don't usually talk about anything specific in my songs, but for once, and thanks to the positive influence of Carl, the creator of The Beautiful Dark, in this song I express an idea, a concrete feeling beyond my usual soliloquies or the usual non-committal pop lyrics. I am committed to peace. Greetings to everyone.
Lyrics:
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
Haters are murderers.
murderers are on both sides of every conflict
evil reaches haters hearts
and makes them its instrument
and manages to spread everywhere
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent.
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent
I can't hate
I really don't know how to do it
i can't hate
I really don't know how to hate
but if i knew, i would hate the murderers, i would hate the violence and terrorism. 
i would hate to hate.
I can't choose between the victims
they are poor and rich, men and women too
i can't choose between the victims
they are young and old, and they all are getting cold
i can't choose between the victims
they come in every skin color there is, even white
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
in the world
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserves respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I feel sorry for the victims who fell in gaza and for those who fell in yemen, in syria and sudan an in israel and ukraine and in new york city and madrid and in orem, utah
i know that your heart is noble and that it bleeds with the pain of the victims. don't choose, please don't choose
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims

I can't choose between the victims

My father (1964) and I...he, like me, loved music his entire life. He played bass in various bands. He started with the double bass, later switching to the electric bass. We shared a passion, and he was always a role model for me. He loved jazz, swing, and big band the most...and I will never forget you.

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

Manchmal schlaf ich ein

For many years, an amateur theatre group from my hometown, in which a friend of mine also performs, has been putting on a fairy tale every Christmas season.
This year’s play is “Hans im Glück” (Hans in Luck), and I was asked to compose and produce the title song for it.
Since this is a charity project, with all proceeds going to support children’s causes, it was an easy and heartfelt “yes” for me. ❤️
Together with MiLu Lotus, I created a danceable, clap-along song that’s feelgood, fun, and child-friendly, yet carries a meaningful message inspired by the story of Hans im Glück. I am very grateful that she sang this song with me. Thank you so much, MiLu! 💜
I hope you enjoy this slightly different song from me, sung in German.
You can find the English translation of the lyrics below. 🎶

Here is the video:

Es ist nicht alles Gold

Er ging mit Gold, doch ohne Lächeln,
der Weg war weit, der Schritt war schwer.
Was glänzt, blieb fremd in seinen Händen –
als ob da noch was andres wär.

Er tauschte Gold für etwas Ruhe,
für Schritte ohne Druck und Ziel.
Er nahm nur mit, was leicht geworden,
und ließ zurück, was ihm zu viel.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Kein Zögern, keine großen Fragen,
kein Rechnen, was ihm bleiben muss.
Er nahm das Leichte in den Tagen
und ließ das Schwere einfach los.

Er kam nach Haus mit leeren Händen,
doch niemand nahm, was er gewann.
Was andre suchten, ließ er liegen –
und ging mit leichtem Herzen dann.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Und du – was trägst du durch dein Leben?
Was hält dich fest, was macht dich klein?
Vielleicht ist Loslassen kein Fehlen,
vielleicht kann frei sein einfach sein.

Es ist nicht alles Gold, was glänzt,
nicht alles wahr, was du erkennst.
Was du verlierst, kann dich befreien,
der Weg wird leichter ohne Stein.

Not Everything That Glitters Is Gold


He walked with gold but without a smile,
the road was long, his steps were slow.
What shone felt foreign in his hands –
as if there was something more to know.

He traded gold for a bit of peace,
for steps without a goal or strain.
He only kept what had grown lighter,
and left behind what brought him pain.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

No hesitation, no great questions,
no counting what he had to keep.
He took the lightness of his days
and let the heavy things just sleep.

He came back home with empty hands,
but no one took what he had found.
What others sought, he left behind 
and walked with heart unbound.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

And you – what do you carry through your life?
What holds you down, what makes you small?
Perhaps letting go is not a loss –
perhaps to be free is all.

Not everything that glitters is gold,
not everything you see is true.
What you lose might set you free,
the road feels lighter without the stone you threw.

Es ist nicht alles Gold
