Sweet work here! Much enjoyed both the music and the narrative!

wonderful arrangement and love the ethnic vibe

This makes me think of the death of my mouse and you made me cry <3 beautiful

Sweet instrumental with an impressive array of textures. Love the recorder idea and classical guitar touches. Must have been quite a lovely rat. Poor fellow. Alas poor Yorat...Durge

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 065 Part 1

Nice keyboard-melody and harmonies plus funny rhythm of Sarah to my guitar riff starting last year to travel into the world - one first recordings done at the Only's Veranda in Toronto... Would need some lyrics... It's about being open for new paths going on and meeting musicians in similar situations :)

Desperadoes on the Run

She is an icon of folk music, she played her guitar upside down and backwards, and she served Don a fried chicken dinner when he got an opportunity to meet her in her home in Alexandria, Va.  In return he tried to teach her the Gary Davis tune "Candyman".  Don's roots run deep in folk music, not in just his knowledge of the genre, not just in the vintage instruments he owns and plays with deft skill, but in having encountered the artists themselves in live and personal settings.  His Cloud is full of his wonderful melodies and fine performances @https://soundcloud.com/user-399104119
We continue our "front porch jam" by covering "Libba" Cotten's cherished tune; I play the main melody on an Ibenez OM guitar, Don joins in with his Washburn parlor, Gibson mandolin, and a dulcimer tuned to C--a string band to be sure;)
Thanks also to Debra Buesking for her personal request that I attempt a cover of the song that got the ball rolling.

	Rat was the son of Rat, by Rat - one of a litter of 5 males and 6 females, whose names, respectively, were Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat, Rat and Rat.

	Rat was a truly remarkable rat, beyond doubt, the rat of his generation.
	As is the nature of rats, Rat grew up very rapidly, and was soon wondering about the nature of life.   Having become a master of the maze, he made it his life's purpose to inspect every facet of life and the universe.
	Rat is known mainly for developing the theory, and refining the practice, of the domestication of humans.   He was the first to observe that domesticated humans do have a limited number of primitive emotions, the most important being loyalty.    This seminal work was later further developed by his great-grand-daughter, Rat, who showed that, with training, humans could even display love at the most basic level.
	It is pertinent to point out that Rat was widely travelled – he explored, not only the entire building in which the lab is housed, but also a large part of the surrounding grounds, and even visited some sewers and other interesting constructions.
	He was a gifted intellectual, lived a long and fruitful life (almost three and a half years), was the progenitor of several hundred descendants, and will be remembered by ratkind until the end of the laboratory.

	Rest in Peace, Rat

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

THE PICTURE (see info for video link)

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

Lyrics

Verse 1
He's a mystery man
He's got the cure in his hands
For love, For Hate, and Disease...

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?

Verse 2
He's a mystery man
He's got the numbers in his hands
For Life, For you and me....

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?

Bridge
Bass riff...

Verse 3
He's a mystery man
He plays guitar in a rock band
For Love, For Life, For Peace

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?


outro

Should have died a thousand times
