wonderful surreal and quite unsettling sound piece. brilliant sample use. exceptionally unique

Love the mix of instruments and mood!  Wonderful track!

it's like a contemporary Lennon piece... so good

Good reverse sounds. So nice mysterious atmosphere!

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps

I don’t think we’re in Kansas, anymore…but it’s very metal!😇… and the @ problem is “ the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes… and… the pride of life”…you can look that one up, in your spare time, surely!!!😎😇

Lyrics:
A warning, loud, now that it’s been made clear 
Just something, that I just got to say 
You speak up or get spoken for 
And steal what you have to pay 
Spent a fortune on the poverty you made
Looks like it’s here to stay

Got the world in your back pocket
Bought the spirits of the souls you sell
Life, so cheap, costs so much
Had you pushed me if I fell
Too little time, and not much money
Can’t you tell? Well, it’s just as well.

Chorus:
And right is wrong
Sing this song or sing-along
Cause I know, no, you don’t
Get your way for not too much longer

Dig?!

Anti-, anti-everything 
New truth for an equal lie 
When your honesty is the answer to 
The questions you cannot hide 
Make sure you get yours, baby, now 
And don’t ask why 
Don’t you even try?

Chorus 

And if I told you what the problem was 
Well, you’d probably only sit back and laugh 
Cause every day, and every night 
It’s hard to see when you’re always asleep in the light 
With your bright night lights on ￼￼

And right is wrong
Sing this song or sing-along
Cause I know, no, you don’t
Get your way for not too much longer

Dig!

In The Poppy Fields

Missed the sound of my beautiful harpsichord and wanted to get back to my  symphonic meets  beats  phase  lately. As I put this together I am just reminiscent of the winter wonderland outside...

SULTRY - Cyclone Mix [Event 49]

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

Chasing Space

Dark forest circling
shadows approaching
This papers all I need 
Madness, in focus
3rd eye is opening 
Friends seem like strangers
Time has gone missing 
..sink down in the tall grass 

The sky has turned to glass
Shards of reflection 
I’m frozen to the grass
Purpose, intention 
This papers all I need 
Instant confusion 
Twisted reality 
Sink down in the tall grass..


I wish it was different 
I wish I had opinions 
I wish I could remember 
Times of ancient spender 
I am only breathing for you now 
When will times get brighter 
When will bricks get lighter 
When can I stop breathing 
When will you deceive me
I am only breathing for you now
