Kirk, This one is quite beautiful as well.  Great work with Synthesizer V.  Love the music, but the lyrics are killer also.

 Tenderly
 Words by Martin Jones

You may try to hide
What you're really feeling deep inside
It's an instinct we all seem to share
Signs posted ..... limited access here

You may have your secrets
And that's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide
what you're holding back inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me

You can do it tenderly
Whisper in my ear
I won't tell anyone
Nobody has to hear
Do it tenderly

On occasions when you hold my hand
I begin to understand
Although your lips don't say it
Your heart won't let you fake it
I'm yours .... I wanna make you mine

Now you may have your secrets
and it's really quite alright
But your body language cannot hide 
What you're holding so deep inside

You might as well admit it
Cause we both know you did it
Tell me that you lied to me
That you're falling so in love
You've fallen in love with me
But you should do it tenderly

Tenderly you should let me know
Do I stay or should I go?
I don't know but I've been told 
Somewhere there's a heart of gold
And I found that heart in you
Tell me what it is you think I should do

Tenderly you should let me know
Cause I'm talking straight to you...  from my soul
I love you
Said I love you

I might as well admit it
Cause we both know I did it
Now I've got to tell the truth
Cause I'm  falling so in love
I've fallen in love with you
Let's love each other tenderly

Please have mercy!

Stressed

(John Stone)

Life is a bitch
I’ve heard it said  
Some people even say they’re  better off dead
You’re in a hole
Then take control
Take care of business could be good for your soul

If I were you I wouldn’t get so stressed about it
Don’t waste the moment going OhOhOh
Instead of thinking what might happen and when
If something going to happen you can deal with it then

Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
You should keep yourself together don’t get angry or depressed
Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
Just keep calm and keep collected when bad feelings are expressed  
Let’s not get stressed stressed ….   

It’s true the future, may not seem  bright
And there’s no answer to the problems in sight
Just down the line  things could be fine
You often find and answer if you just give it time

Stressed

Well, I finally finished working on one of my all time fave songs, In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel. This is a straight up cover that's as faithful to the original as I could get. It's definitely the most time and meticulous effort I've spent on a song trying to do it justice. All instruments are played by me on keyboard, as well as the live talking drum and spotty singing, besides some backing synth pads and additional backing vocals by @remnant60. Bill was also instrumental in giving feedback and offering suggestions, and providing the mastering duties. 
There's also a bit of a surprise remix version I did that highlights all the layers of sounds that go into this masterpiece of a song. See link below.

Here is a very different REMIX version to highlight all the sounds and instruments you may not notice in the original version:

In Your Eyes  (cover)

this is a demo of a couple of little tunes Netta and i glued together to finish this song..........many thanks for listening

i was feeling sad it's true
here searching round for you
for a second there i thought
that you all about me forgot

oh why why why, why did i go and fall in love with you
oh why why why, what have i done, what can i do

oh when feeling sad so low
when a smile becomes my foe
for a minute will you stay
or the next one drift away

oh why why why, why did i go and fall in love with you
oh why why why, what have i done, what can do

let me remind me of what you always show
let me remind me of how i already know

Oh Why

The corn outside my window grew an inch during a ten-minute rain. The field is slowly turning from brown to green, out to the horizon. A robin stares into my open window, seeming interested in the sound of piano.

I made a cover song of one of my favorite childhood songs. This is the signature music composed by Olli Ahvenlahti from the Finnish family TV series  called Susikoira Roi (1987), which is based on the book written by Jorma Kurvinen.

Lyrics:

 - Even If You Smiled -  

I left a flower by your door
I thought it might get your attention
even if you smiled
i could be a child, again

I saw you standing in the rain
and I wanted to be near you
Even if you smiled,
I could stay a while, with you

Flowers and rain
Outside my window
Flowers and raindrops fall
Flowers and raindrops fall

If every flower had a name
and every raindrop had a reason
I would still be here
I would still be near my home

I left a flower by your door
and walked into forever after
raindrops in my hand
would you understand?

Even If You Smiled

If I Could Go Back
