A wise and timely observation, my friend.  Hope all is well!

I must’ve missed this one… Really nice song

super catchy vocals and melodic music, love the swinging groove and that melodic piano!

Interesting musical arrangement and vocal, great Kyo!

No matter where you are….the grass is always greener on the other side. Think that’s what you captured here - well done

ああ、そうだ、振り子は1つ、地球は1つ。

Your Mix 6

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Regret

Silver dust

New York City 
And the Hudson wind
Like a hurricane breeze
Blowing over me again
The damage and goodbyes
Of all those years ago
Should’ve said hold on baby
But I let you slip and go

Now Vienna at dawn
Into the morning grey
Walking past all the moments
That remain along the way
Every cold street and square
Old pictures cling
But the city is a hunter
Chasing down everything

From the U-Bahn’s roar
To the High Line’s gleam
Two cities breathe at night
Pressed together in a dream
Driving brings me peace
Heavy traffic and convoys
And the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise

Yeah the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise
Yeah the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise

Trapped within You

I believe the world is swinging from the start of history. It goes left and right. Today's winner may become a looser tomorrow. 

Written and performed by Kyo.

To the left, to the right,
the pendulum is swinging.
From a past that's so bright,
to a future slinging.

We don't know the reason why,
echoes of voices in fight.
Innovations push us up,
and they pull us down.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

One says live, another says die,
conflicts in their eyes.
One day laugh, next day sigh,
under the same skies.

We don't know the reason why,
voices echo but distracting.
Like distant stars ignoring 
and attracting.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

For the dance of butterflies, embracing liberal vibes,
The lion roars in guardian ways,
to keep the order of old tribes.

We don't know the reason why,
they hate each other.
But look at gravity a constant force,
an eternal orbital course.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

(Verse 1)
Well, I’ve seen men try to wrestle with the bottle,
Thinking they can beat it with a fight.
And I’ve watched hearts break beneath the shadow,
Of dreams they couldn’t make right.
You can’t lasso pain, can’t tie it to a post,
It’ll buck you till you fall.
So face your fears like a man in the mirror,
Before you come at it all.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy alone,
He’s riding through his troubles on a path of his own.
It’s a wild, wild world, where the storms never cease,
Tame the war in your heart if you’re searchin’ for peace.

(Verse 2)
There’s a fight in every man who’s ever wandered,
A ghost that he carries deep inside.
And a cowboy’s just a drifter in the saddle,
Running hard from the truth he’s denied.
But your demons, they’ll haunt you, won’t let you sleep,
Till you stand tall and lay ‘em down.
You can’t outgun what’s under your skin,
It’ll chase you to the edge of town.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy alone,
He’s got his own battles riding through the unknown.
It’s a dusty trail, and the fight’s never fair,
But you can’t break the wind with your fist in the air.

(Bridge)
You can’t ride forever without facing the fall,
The harder you run, the louder they’ll call.
And when you’re down in the dirt, and you’ve nowhere to go,
The only fight left is the one in your soul.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy to roam,
He’s chasing his shadows, out there on his own.
Fix the cracks in your heart, find the strength in your name,
Before you saddle up blame and play the same game.

(Outro)
So grab that rope, and wrestle your pain,
Don’t be the fool who points out the rain.
The cowboy’s a mirror, and the truth is this:
The hardest battle’s one you can’t resist.

Tackle Your Demons, Not a Cowboy

EXPERIMENTAL CHOIR

For this the Moog Spectravox had my attention, I was having problems in my studio and something wasn't quite right with this unit. Fearing I had a faulty machine I removed from the rack and tested from my desk. The problem was discovered to be the cable from the synth to the mixer. A much less expensive fix. It can be heard very clear at the end of this piece.

Valentine Menagerie

Single swing of the hammer drive the nail
Single wag of the tongue drive the jackknife

Drag me out by my feet, hands bound
Drag the poor man down, drop in quicksand

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Call for help but no sound, I still scream
Fires rise around pile of bones

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Lyrics : 
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

You got jump-scared so bad in your waking hours
You thought you were seeing stars
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you

Gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it
Gonna hear it, hear it
Only when you’re not listening

Gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it
Gonna see it, see it
Only when you’re not looking

It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing your intuition in the corner
It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing our intuition in the corner

The clue stuck to the bottom of a shoe
The mud trail she tracked through the living room
Told you what you already knew

The truth
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

THE TRUTH. 🎧. Feat  Ashes and Dreams

THEN YOU APPEAR

Sorcerer (2005) Paul Dukas Cover

This is an original song I recorded some years ago that describes the transition when seeing your son come of age as you (the parent) has to let go and adjust to a changed role in his life. Some regrets occur, thinking that the time to do certain things with your child has come and gone, perhaps you could/should have done more.
This was recorded back when I wrote it, so my recording techniques were not very advanced and I lost the master, left with just an MP3. I want to thank Nat Daniels and her production skills for helping make the most of improving the sound, although there was only limited opportunity to undo all its flaws. She also added some lovely piano parts to help replace many of my original xylophone parts which had faded considerably. Despite the rough quality, I hope the sentiment conveys. (note: Neddu was a nickname my son was given during his infancy which should help explain the lyrics)

Lyrics:  Written by Craig Durgy
You won’t need me as you walk out that door
These eighteen years were what a father’s for
But change is not an ending
You know that I’ll be sending my love

Can’t help but feel regrets, a childhood's gone
Lost chances sometimes hit as you move on
I guess that it’s just me though, 
It was just meant to be, so go
And I’ll watch Neddu grow

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

That day you ran out in the pouring rain
And dashed head first to surf those flooded drains
The raging storm soon hid you
I wondered Ned where did you go

And still a glimpse of all our backyard games
Now all your friends converge, just not the same
I stand here washing dishes, a man here watching wishes blow
Away as Neddu grows

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

Watching My Son Grow

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues
