I know that in these troubled times, the loss of a pet can seem a bit derisory.
But those who have already lived it will understand me, because this so difficult moment is added to the ambient state.
I dedicate this title to my cat "Seti" as well as to all our pets who have joined the paradise of cats, dogs and the whole of the animal world.

In cat paradise, Choupi, Kif-kif, Podecol, Pitta, Seti.

Je sais qu'en ces temps si tourmentés, la perte d'un animal de compagnie peut paraître un peu dérisoire.
Mais ceux qui l'ont déjà vécu me comprendront, car ce moment si difficile s'ajoute à l'état ambiant.
Je dédie ce titre à mon chat "Seti" ainsi qu'à tous nos animaux de compagnie qui ont rejoints le paradis des chats, des chiens et l'ensemble du monde animal.

I'm just telling you,
that i miss you,
without derision,
without obsession,

just i love you,
just i love you,
with fondly,

my companion every day,
my sunrise every day,
my sunset every day,

just i love you,
just i love you,
with fondly,

You don't smile
you don't speak,
in your eyes,
it's your langage,

you are secret,
you are wild,
you give so much love,
so much happiness,
so much affection,
so much affection,

just i love you,
just i love you,
with fondly,

My heart is bleeding,
when I think about you,
you left me so suddenly,
I will never forget you,
never forget you,

just i love you,
just i love you,

just i love you...

Just I Love You

The guitar will say everything.
Or maybe not.
But the guitar remembers..

Little moody guitar

Introduction in English:
After five years of abstinence, my son fell back into drugs. All attempts to help him bounced off the increasingly overpowering drug cocktails. All my feelings during this time, the anger about the destructive power of the drugs, the powerlessness in the face of the quicksand in which my son sank further and further, the despair and sadness about the loss of loving contact with him, I have tried to process in this song.  

Introduction in German:
Nach fünf Jahren der Abstinenz ist mein Sohn wieder den Drogen verfallen. Alle Versuche, ihm zu helfen, prallten an den immer übermächtiger werdenden Drogencocktails ab. Alle meine Gefühle in dieser Zeit, die Wut über die zerstörerische Kraft der Drogen, die Ohnmacht angesichts des Treibsandes, in den mein Sohn immer weiter versank, die Verzweiflung und Trauer über den Verlust des liebevollen Kontaktes zu ihm, habe ich versucht, in diesem Song zu verarbeiten.  

Lyrics

I am cryin` for you, my son

Can only watch you, 
How you slip down
How you lose your point of view

Can only watch you, 
As you slowly sink
Drowning in the mire of your soul

You have become such a stranger to me
Where south was is now cold north
The familiarity is gone 
The dignity lies in the dirt

Ooh please don't throw away your last shirt

I am crying for you, my son
I`m not in peace with myselg, my son

We were playing music
We were jamming together
In an incredible harmony

Threw the balls to each other
We were in tune
Like a magical symphony

But now the strings are torn
All my knowledge is of no use 
I no longer know you
Strange astral wind

I am crying for you, my son
I`m not in peace with myself, my son

I am crying for you, my son
I am crying for you, my son
I am crying for you, my son

I`m crying for you, my son

I Am Crying For You, My Son

I Can´t Stand

3 a.m. in the morning
 My sleep is breaking and I'm stranded here until you ride
You came for that feeling.
You came for that feeling.
You came for that feeling again.

Now I feel like I'm waisting my time
You've got me Nullified
You've probably done this many times.
Feel like I'm falling
Being pushed by the wind
but your were going to feel my courage baby
When you come back for that feeling again.

Repeat and don't muck about...

You Came for that Feeling Again (Rivas & Conover)

I discovered an intriguing string octet piece by Bartosz Kozłowski: https://soundcloud.com/bkozlowski/vicious-circle.  Drawn in by its complexity I began hearing ideas for additional parts. I commented, he replied, then shared the wav & encouraged me to follow my vision! Thanks, Bartek! :-D

LYRICS BELOW
Here's a song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic (but it's upbeat and hopeful). Big thanks to Ben Lokuta, who recorded the drums remotely. Ben is an amazing young drummer currently studying at Berklee College of Music and the drummer for Distant Cuzins. I played gigs with Ben all last year, including at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Ben plays a huge drum set with two kicks, so mixing was a bit of a challenge! I told Ben to let loose in the last verse, and he really came through.
All four guitars I play in this song are Gretsches--hollowbody or semi-hollow--all with different pickups:
Gretsch 5422T with Filtertrons
Gretsch 5622T with Super HiLo trons
Gretsch 2622TG with P90s
Gretsch 2420 with Broadtrons
...so this is definitely a Gretsch song!

        Take a Minute
............Words & Music by Timothy Walsh
You say you can’t go the distance, put up too much resistance,
even though I’m telling you that I’ll be there for you.

No, I don’t even want to hear it.   No time to check out though we fear it.
The sea’s about to swallow up this human world we know.

Chorus

You’re watching all your screens.  Never get outside.
Stand among the trees.
You’re always stuck inside like a person who’s confined
never walking in the breeze.

You say the clock is ticking—watch as the whole world is sickening.
I just say that you have got to think beyond us two.

So roll up your sleeves and pitch in—no use just always bitching.
You have got to use your life and stand up for what’s true.
