love that ending too...quite a journey in a short space of time!

Just spotted on a playlist and realised I hadn't heard this one, so I'm putting this right. Lovely background and lead vocals, super flute and a thrilling arrangement altogether. Thanks as always Mark

Great soundscape! Very heady 1960s stuff. Love the Robert Plant-like vocalization at the end

Played the trumpet, composed and produced by Val Akey.
Thank you for listening!

Quiet Days

This original ode to the desert night highway brings two lovers together in the splendor of the stars. The silent expanse inspires their moment of passion.

Lyrics:  Whispers and Wishes  (a.k.a "Was I Insane")

Black desert night... 
Dotted lines flashing white
Straight is the road 
The mountains like ghosts
And you're ever by my side…

The highway just wails
The stars form a veil
That shimmers and calls
‘till we give it pause 
And break a silent sky

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.

(instrumental solo)

Chorus:  
Your hands in mine..
Hearts that entwine..
Soft moans and kisses..
Whispers and Wishes.
That shatters the deep… 
That shatters the deep of the night.
That Shatters the deep of the night..

Whispers and Wishes

This track written in the dance style of New Jack Swing, Funk, R&B and hip-hop from the 1980s & 1990s. Incorporating a lively rhythm bed with sultry female vocal harmonies with a complementing lively brass and string section.

Go Beyond

Struggling to extricate yourself from some awful mess of life and circumstance (relationship?)Free? Feels like it, sometimes, until freedom starts to feel an awful lot like falling down. Still, whatever we choose, the choice to be free, to soar, to coast, or to fall down, is in your hands.

* I always loved Tom Petty and his Free Fallin'. Maybe that was in the back swirling around.?

                                                Free, Falling Down

I’m free… falling down…I’m free…falling down
Never felt this good to be living my life…
Never felt this way,  good to be giving it up…
Left it all behind, I’m going on my own…
I’m spreading my wings

As autumn falls and the leaves do curl
Throw this drowning man… a heavy stone…
A heavy stone
Ah summoning the North winds, a hard brick in soft felt
The world has lungs…that are fit to burst
The world is a mighty fist…in your hands
The world is a fragile fist …in your hands…in your hands!

In your hands… Whoa! 
(Im free…falling down)
It’s in your hands … Whoa!
Never felt this good to be living my life…
Never felt this way, good to be giving this up…
Left it all behind, I’m going on my own…
I’m spreading my wings.

Well who made the world mad?
Was it us? That twisted the five fingers of continents?
Fingers of continents
Hold the world for what it’s worth, 
Don’t let your spoon stir the pot…in reverse

In your hands…In your hands   (I’m free)
It’s in your hands…

Test It To Destruction

Free, Falling Down

Hey, really do hope you’re doing OK out there in the world as there is almost nothing funny about life now. Except maybe everything in my life. A dystopian comedy, as I try in jest to keep the plants from drying up and dying, and end up parched myself. Like today, for a moment there I found myself unconsciously heading for some shade, as stepping into the sun was intense. Now I know how Drăculea felt. Well maybe not. Although growing up we would always head to this strange woman’s house on Halloween night, to get a cup of ‘cat’s blood’. The old woman was dressed as a witch, and had a punchbowl filled with her concoction on the dining room table. Later that night, my mom freaked out when I told her I drank some cat’s blood at some old woman’s house. After a few frantic phone calls, she found out it was a blend of Hawaiian Punch (red) and cherry juice. My mom later befriended that old woman, who had a lifetime of performing in the theater. Anyway, so there I was standing in the shade and the idea for this song came to me. Why not try some recorder harmonies using 2 recorders? In all truth, about the only thing I know about the recorder is that finger placement over the holes is vital to avoid the tragedy of sounding like a frantic goose running away from the butcher. As is having calm breath, or wind, if you will. (Woodwind) So keeping it simple, I used one recorder for a single sustained note, and the other recorder for soloing. Eventually I would like to be able to create harmonized melodies using both recorders… ha. We’ll see about that. Lyrically, not much to say… but I am working on a harmonized backing vocal in a slightly higher vocal register. I also added some mandolin shmozz at the end of grins. OK, enough of that. Hope you enjoy the song, Mark

Here's to you my comrades
Who've been and passed
Here's to you my friends
I raise my glass.

The times we shared
Those times are gone
Our lives are joined forever
We share a bond

We had our fun
And now it's time to pay
All the things we've said and done
Are washed away

Ah,the young will live forever
All of a single mind
Always rushing forward
Never need to look behind

We had our fun
And now it's time to pay
All the things we've said and done
Are washed away

혹시 그거 아나요?

Hey. I am a late bloomer musically. Initially I started on acoustic guitar, then within the last 4 years: Banjo, slide guitar, dobro, recorder, harmonica and singing.  Most of my songs are rough, unpolished, unpracticed, recordings made on an old laptop. Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship, Lammbone
