Wildflower is an uplifting song about love and freedom. Featuring acoustic guitars, harmony vocals, electric guitar, bass, and drums, the song will have you tapping your toes, clapping and singing along, even doing a little shuffle step in the best Americana tradition. The lyric is honestly in the moment, happy yet with a bit of a wistfulness. Its an Indie song done in a traditional style that is sometimes called Americana, but to me songs built around acoustic guitars and harmony vocals cross cultures and are found everywhere. When I was first coming up as a guitar player, I was helped out a bunch by some older cats who had played every style of music, and they generously and patiently showed me a lot of what I know. We would sit and play acoustic guitars and sing, and really get together on the songs and the music. Sometimes it was in someone's living room or on the porch, or on the beach, but wherever, putting your guitar part and harmonies right in the pocket to make a nice blend was always the goal. This song is kind of a tribute to those great players (long may they run!)and that style of playing and music making, its fun, I hope it never goes away!

I picked these wildflower
cuz they remind me of you
they’re beautiful wild and free
but they can never belong to me
cuz wildflowers have to grow free

But I can hold em in my hands
the way I hold you in my arms
I close my eyes and I pretend
that this feeling will never end
I pretend this love will never end

I’m giving you these wildflowers
Oooh prettiest thing I see
Whenever you see those wildflowers
I hope they remind you of me
cuz like you, I have to live free

Whenever I see you wildflower
like your sitting there just for me
If I try to keep you, it won’t last
so I’ll let you be wild and free
like our love, like you and me

Wildflower

La défunte lumière repose sous cette nuit sans fin
où sillonne en silence un imposant navire 
extirpant de l'écume les âmes qui chavirent
plus d'écran pour se protéger plus d'écran aux confins
d'un monde boudé de tous : assez à faire avec les affaires
bien assez que de ne pas cesser d'amasser des richesses éphémères.

Infâme
corruption d'âmes !..

Est-ce
ô
est-ce
le dernier signal ?
La glace fond par tonnes...
Sauvez nos âmes !

Est-ce
ô
est-ce
le signal final ?
Quid de la taxe carbone ?
Sauvez nos âmes !

Est-ce
ô
est-ce
le signal fatal ?
Le glas sonne...
Sauvez nos âmes !

Est-ce
le dernier signal ?

Dernier Signal (Last Sign)

Dernier Signal (Last Sign) [Levitan & Lukowig]

This is an old bass thing I wrote that I love playing but never did anything with...until now. Well it's still unfinished but it is going to be a little bit of time before I am ready to put more into it. 

So there is a list of things I want to do to this like replace the "solo" as well as write guitar parts for the other parts of the song. Also I may actually take a crack at lyrics and singing but still that would most likely be last. Other things I wanted I wanted to try out was some recording/mixing techniques like panning and layering. 

This is my first upload of me playing instruments (Bass and guitar...my drum skills are not even close to ready yet.)Sure there are some timing issues from one not practicing enough and two latency that I'm having trouble resolving.

Any way I hope everyone likes it and wants to hear the final product. Thanks for giving the time to listen and read this.

(edit 7/31/21: added a simple guitar part to 2 parts and a rough tapping part in the "solo". you can clearly hearing me have trouble getting a sound out of that last fret but right now its the best I can do.)

Voici le n° 4 des Feillets d'automne. Ici, le piano suit le voyage d'une feuille emportée par le léger tourbillon d'une  brise d'automne : on y suit ses envols, entrecoupés d' arrêts, jusqu'à sa descente finale au sol

I am a pro musician and multi-instrumentalist and singer. 
My main instrument is the tenor sax though. 
I was a member of a famous Dutch band, the Dizzy Man's Band. 
I played in big theatre shows and musicals and later on had a solo career as Nick McAlley.
 I still feel the urge to write and record my own music.  
 I thank you for taking the time to listen!  Especially if you're an old soul with a young heart.
