For me, getting older has certainly had some advantages, one of them being the ability to take on life's pressures without continually worrying about what is coming along next.

Being seen as the “Wise Old Man" in the family (you know, the one in the comfy chair closest to the TV in the living room), my sons, daughter, nieces and nephews will often plonk themselves down on the seat next to me and disclose their personal problems.  Much though I’d like to pretend otherwise, I rarely have any useful advice to volunteer, the reality being that I offer little more than a sympathetic ear.  That they trust me enough to take me into their confidence is nonetheless most flattering, the reason most likely being that I’m neither judgemental nor threatening and most importantly can be trusted to keep what I’m told entirely to myself.

This song was written after one of these tête-à-tête’s, one in which there was absolutely nothing I could do to change the situation and could only empathise, say that they need never feel they were on their own and affirm I’d always be there for them whenever the need arose.  All the same, I did find myself wishing I could have been of greater help.  I truly did feel blue for them.  

Life can be a sod of a thing sometimes.  When that happens, what else is there to do but write a song about it?   (Terry Reeves)    
 

A glass on the table, half full a distance away
Feeling thirsty and dry so unreachable today
Closer tomorrow but might drain to half empty
Distance unchanged my thirst remains plenty

Feeling so blue for you
Really blue for you

I’ve stood in the forest heard whispers of lies
Every leaf falling past, covers a layer of spies
Try hiding from truth, planet can never disguise
Face stays in the shadows screaming silent cries 

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

Look out of the window reflections inside my head
Reversing a vision giving sight to those who bled
The slaughter of life has reduced the time earned
Loving life not chewing death the option unfurled

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

I will answer questions if you ask with a smile
I may travel a distance over one million miles
Moving is never a picture puzzles of reasons
Hoping to find missing piece to help mental lesions

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

FEELING BLUE FOR YOU - Cripple Club & Hans Albers

Funny Kind of Sad

Many years ago, at one point I accidentally noticed the chorus of some of my songs were inter-changeable. From then onwards, I made serious efforts for my songs to sound not so alike. I know I am not a decent singer but as a songwriter, I would be very glad if listeners can differentiate between my songs.

This new entry here is another love song mainly inspired by a drama. The purple rose is the closest song pic I could find as I think the petals do look like lips. Just see what you think.

Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Feelings I never showed
Embedded in stories untold
Love sounds we built underground
Too much for this heart to hold

Songs that never rhymed
Revelry that once was mine
Tried so hard to be with each other
Always ran out of time

CHORUS
Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
You were there, beautiful & rare
Couldn't resist the purple kisses

Out of mind, out of reach, chances ditched but after all these years
You still appear in dreams

Memories of us seemed trite and pressure was never light
Drowned in an overworked affection
My thoughts remained with you

Instrumental

Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
Longings sealed, passions unfilled
Carried away in the magic of your touch
…..haunted me so much

Repeat Chorus

Purple Kisses

I absolutely love this remix by the enormously talented @Spiralizer! Rob was one of the first people here on Soundcloud to check out my tracks regularly and give encouraging feedback and that has definitely encouraged me and given me confidence. Go check him out! He has a big following here and for a good reason :).

Nature heals - Spiralizer Remix

Nature Heals (Spiralizer REMIX)

Un croissant aux leurres
Rendez-vous du déjà vu
Le violon blond des heures
D'une aube déjà bue

Mon amour mon bonheur
Dans la vérité toute crue
Comme un roi tout nu
Avec une flèche dans le cœur

Un croissant aux leurres
Sur tous les plateaux télé
Tant de têtes à débiter
Mon amour mon bonheur

Un Croissant Aux Leurres

As is usually the case after completing an album, I tend to return to my style of emotive piano melodics.  "Reflect" was completed in one evening, after sitting at my controller keyboard exploring different phrases, until finally coming up with something that resonated with me. There are countless evenings like this that I never end up with anything at all worth recording. Just meandering with fingers randomly playing unmemorable motifs. Something I'm trying to learn with these types of tracks is to stop when I have a sense that the feeling is conveyed. Even if it ends up only 2-3 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it and helps you reflect on good times. 

I want to thank all the wonderful people in this SC community that have supported and expressed their enjoyment of my music. It's a hobby(turned passion) that has so much more significance when I get to read the gracious feedback that I'm so fortunate to receive.

I look forward to sharing more material from my new album “Focus”. I also have a new Blink Twice single coming next week that should satisfy those electro heads out there. And much more to come in 2023 most definitely. Cheers!
