And all done on Boss BR 800 ( I started on that excellent machine)

The sound of this takes me warmly back to the AM radio era 👏👏👏👏

One of the best melody and lyric i ever heard.  

A beautiful slow burner and such a fine lyric t'boot!

Sweet ballad. Lovely melody for the excellent lyrics. Great vocal, emotive with more than a splash of tenderness. Like the change up into the solo.

You are faithful to your theme in all your arrangements-this is so good on your BR 800- I might go back to mine and forsake the DAW!! LOL!!

Wow - this is a well written and performed song, LOTL! You have a lovely voice and phrasing, great lyrics too. I enjoyed listening to this very much :)

And now
Where do I go from here?
Empty-handed

Love is a rose that no-one sees
Love dissapears in the cold night breeze
Love hides in the style of that old man's dress
Love is asleep waiting for your caress

And now
Where do I go from here?
Empty-handed

Love is a bird that dies in flight
Love is a falling star on a moonless night
Love is a moment in someone's dream
Love is a song about what could have been

And now
Where do I go from here?
Empty-handed

Love will always lose the fight
Love is what I miss tonight

And now
Where do I go from here?
Empty-handed

Give it Up (Badass) - with REKHA and Jeff Roberts

This is a companion piece to the Xenomorph track but with much darker take on the concept of having an ancient, alien sentient weapon integrating with your body. Paolini's novel would make a great graphic comic or film.
The graphic is a detail from Pablo Dominguez's great rendition of the soft blade and more can seen at https://fractalverse.net/
The guitar is a Fender Tele through a British J800 amp, classic distortion, flanger, ping pong delay and a plate reverb...

Lyrics, vocal & guitar by Tony
A very raw two chord recording of 
Time Just Eats You Up.

IT'S EVERY BOY'S DREAM
TO GET HIS DRIVERS LISCENSE
THE DAY HE TURNS SIXTEEN
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

FINISHING GRADE SCHOOL
IS A LONG TIME COMIN'
WE ALL NEED THOSE TOOLS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

SOME ATTEND COLLEGE
SOME JOIN THE WORK FORCE
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(CHORUS)
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT
IT'LL ALWAYS WIN
NOBODY IS THAT FAST

CAN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED
WHEN YOU MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
LEAVING PARENTS WORRIED
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE KIDS
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES
CAN'T WAIT FOR GRANDKIDS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

TIME KEEPS SLIPPIN' AWAY
LIVING IN THE FAST LANE
TURNS YOUR HAIR GREY
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WE NEVER TAKE THE TIME 
TO SMELL THE ROSES
STOP AND UNWIND
CAUSE, TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Time Just Eats You Up - (Raw Original by Tony Harris)

Ricordi della Caffetteria

Down Where The Sage Winds Blow
Words and Music by Pravinand Maharaj

You took a long drink from the cup of truth
Squeezed fresh from your favourite fruit
Picked ripe in the misty woods
Down where the sage winds blow

People live and people die
You made a point of staying alive
Can’t always see it with the naked eye
All you got to show

Easy smiled the face you met
Who knew what’s beneath the flesh
Laying low behind its breath            
The things you never saw

It’s a rat race out there I hear you say
 A leaky roof for a rainy day
Nothing more could make her stay
You knew she had to go

You can’t freeze ice on a burning flame
You can’t be called by another’s name
Can’t build a wall without a frame
On which to hang the door

Easy smiled the face you met
Who knew what’s beneath the flesh
Laying low behind its breath            
The things you never saw

Night falls and shadows play
Beneath a mocking moon
You can’t help thinking the mark of Cain
Was but a lover’s wound

You took a long drink from the cup of truth
Nocturne birdsongs play like flutes
From the tree of the forbidden root
Down where the sage winds blow

Where the boughs of promise stood
Down where the sage winds blow

Down Where The Sage Winds Blow

....There's a story in there somewhere....
