Cool song - Great vocal and instrumentational performance.

Appealing slow blues treatment, great keys and muted horn!

Oh, this is a Strange Fruit sort of blues with some amazing piano riffs. Lovely, shadowy lyrics and your usual wonderful vocal delivery. Trumpet kills as well!! Durge

#39 like. Good work. JAZZ & BLUES I grew up around with Jim Odom. Sunset Blvd. Whiskey a Gog Go we'd sneak in to at age 14. Fake I.D. lol Malibu Beach Boys. 1960s. Are you an entertainment attorney? Have questions about Copyright with Partner . THanks.

I really like the instrumental arrangements and vocals with it.

This song is so cool! Great vocals and musianship!

Just fabulous as always. Like I said before, I could just sit and listen to your sound all night.

I opened one of my poetry anthologies randomly and stumbled on this short, heartfelt verse by Anne Brontë. I kept the singing quite simplistic as it seemed more important to sing/read it accurately than with any stylistic flare, and Andy accompanied me, and did all the technical stuff. We hope you enjoy our rendition of it.

“My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves, beneath them, are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky.
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today!”

Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day (Anne Brontë)

Some ideas about Clarity of Intent and word Fun.

It's not how i would choose to live, the love you took from me was not mine to give
I suppose you think you know the truth.
Extrapolation and the lack Thereof, Precursor to the gods above.
and the failure to correlate within the present circumstance the results of actions taken in the past.
This never ceases to amaze and complicate the connecting of the dots
in the purple Haze.
While intellect is Boiling off like steam, A stream of single thoughts that joins the clouds around their heads
Walking in the desert late at night
far from their Bed
on a quest.
though perception of the consequence is not precise
Some scenarios can at least be precieved 
and in doing so, can mitigate the original intention.
Is the fairy dust curated by the prisoner in the Mortal Coil?


Life's a Joke 
and if you're not laughing
well, the jokes on you
sometimes it Happens
cosmic comedy
 won't you set me free
i just want to go Ramblin around, just want to go ramblin around

I just release tracks y'all. I record em and hit print and don't think twice about it. Someone out there gotta dig it, right? 

If anything, I hope my process inspires you to make better music than me. I only offer my flavors to the world soup in hopes of making it tasty.

As a result of this process, I have made it to 90 tracks on Soundcloud. Therefore, I dub this track:

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I Sat Down By The River [an original song]

A little jam i made with the korg gadget app on ipad. All the notes are painted into the matrix with my fingers so to say:)

2022 is almost over. Time flies. COVID-19 has distorted many aspects of our lives and confusion still continues in Japan. A lot of talented young musicians lost their chances because of strict limitations in venues. Japan is left behind while other countries have got their daily lives back.
Meanwhile war began. I hope people in Ukraine live in peace next year.
It began to snow and the seasons go around anyhow. In any situations we can share music. Thank you for listening to my songs. Have a great new year!
