Cool... Sweet and haunting atmosphere. Excellent vocal delivery!

This is great! I could never come up with something like this... IT reminds of https://soundcloud.com/christoffersen-weber, which I like a lot, too!

great collaborative product. very nicely done. 

Having received a wonderful selection of inspired takes on two simple guitar pieces which I posted for open collaboration, I figured I should collect them like a little bouquet of musical flowers. Here they are for you to enjoy : ) The original pieces -- out there . . somewhere & writ in air -- are free to download and to tinker with and re-interpret, should you feel so inclined. 
(Please let me know if you do : )

A love letter for you pt.2

PAINKILLER

A cinematic western-folk requiem told in twelve parables — from desolation to communion, from dusk to dawn.
Harlan Crowe’s baritone carries the grit of the desert; Sora’s soprano carries its light.
The Spanish classical guitar is the road itself: steady, unbroken, eternal.

Dust in the Air

guitar by learningtoplay // beats, bass, free-style poetry & vocals by Terry Wigmore (improv transcript below)

I have half a mind to write something profound: something that would not easily be forgotten.
And then my thoughts run away with my logic 
Running to the extremes of existence, thoughts of the cosmological meaning of
a grain of sand, on a polluted beach, soon to be underwater, from global warming.
Temperatures rise, people's feeling's rise, dough rises, yeast...
Flat bread, Flat earth... how can we connect all these tings?
Line ups on the top of Mount Everest! Who would have thought that this would be a thing that you could see in a movie clip on the evening news? Breaking News! Mountaineers fall to their deaths waiting in line, through lack of oxygen. Maybe we should give a few politicians some lack of oxygen and see how they fall?! Too much air on the airwaves, not enough content. A million channels, high -speed delivery system...no one listening...no one cares.
Shoe-box size satellites, 60 of them released. Supposed to be putting the internet to every space available on the surface of the earth. Internet? How about food? How about clean water? How about a place to feel safe? How about a place of refuge for a refugee? A place of comfort for those who traveled and struggled all their lives, escaping one form of persecution only to fall to a legal entanglement that keeps them dying in cages. So much to ponder, so little time.
Life is full of these enigmas. Or is it that life is full of mystery wrapped in an enema?
A whole lot of house cleaning to be done.
What does it take? What would it take for us to to work together for once, just once? Solve the problem of , “I don't like you, but I'm willing to work with you?” “ I don't like your...thoughts, your clothes, the colour of your skin, the books you read, the celebrations you have,...but I'm willing to work with you...”
Because I don't need to be right, I just need to be free...free from HATE.

We all came from somewhere. We're all migrants from a place that we called home. Whatever that place looks like now, home is where the heart IS...where you feel connected! You might have been unplugged, perhaps forcefully unplugged, but you're here NOW. THIS is home! This is where we have to work together, to love, to live, and to build together, to Be Free...

(T Wigmore, in the flow with learningtoplay's 'Out There . . Somewhere')

out there . . somewhere (ltp + Terry Wigmore)

I stumbled upon this track yesterday, an open collab: https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/out-there-somewhere and produced this remix - flute addition in a very spontanously first go. Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/ ... hope he will like my idea, and of course all inclined listeners too ! enJoy !

I was really stoked to hear from letterfounder that he'd finished his song 'back at the cave', based around my instrumental 'writ in air'. 
I love his fascinating, exploratory music, great lyrics and vocals. For more of his excellent work visit: https://letterfounder.bandcamp.com

Update:

I just learned that James Horbett, whose music inspired this song, passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer. 

His wonderful music, song craft and incredible talent will always remain an inspiration to me, but the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP James Horbett, 1987-2019

Based on a chord sequence from the song 'There's No Constant' by James Horbett, this was the first rhythm guitar song I wrote using my 12-string guitar.

Lyrically inspired by the song 'Wharf Rat' by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and (somewhat obviously) by the movie 'On The Waterfront'.

Lyrics:
When I was young and I was strong
Back when I worked the Waterfront
I know I could have been someone
So long ago....

Once I was loving, I was loved
I never thought I'd have no-one
I know I could have been someone
Now I don't know...
And now I walk the Waterfront
What have you done?...

Some memories I can't forget
I know I'm not defeated yet...
I know I could have been someone
What have you done?
But now I'm on the Waterfront
What have you done to me?

On The Waterfront (Jim's Song)

Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

I Saw Jesus (Brian Peters)

I saw Jesus in a man who didn’t have a home
He was left to wander alone
Nowhere to go, no place to rest
And nothing secure
Jesus, won’t you be the door
Jesus, won’t you be the door

I saw Jesus in a woman holding empty hands
Living out of empty cans
Her children starve, it’s been a while 
Since they were fed
Jesus, won’t you be the bread
Jesus, won’t you be the bread

I saw Jesus in a boy within a prison cell
What he’s done he cannot tell
Accusers lie, and so his life
Will end at youth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth

[I saw Jesus in a little girl of eight
In her hands she held her fate
Away from home the city’s cold
But she must stay
Jesus, won’t you be the way
Jesus, won’t you be the way]*

I saw Jesus in a baby who has not a prayer
Death and illness ever near
May last the night,
Tomorrow baby won’t survive
Jesus, won’t you be the life
Jesus, won't you be the life

[I saw Jesus in a people living under siege
Never having what they need
Their lives have been a horror
Of eternal night
Jesus, won’t you be the light
Jesus, won’t you be the light]*

Made for one another
Don't you know-Ho

It's true

Don't you know

I wanna be lovin' you everyday
In every way-Hey-Hey
Cuz' you, you deserve it
You've only made my life so good
In every way

You are givin' me Oh-Oh
Could never imagine to be 
With any other man but you-Oo

Babe you fulfill me
So warm and tenderly

Babe I just wanna spend my days 
Lovin' you so true, so good
There can never be anyone greater 
Than you for me

Overwhelmed By the Blues

Au revoir M Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Vous n'avez pas la notre sympathie

Au revoir,  Nous sommes désolés 
Le puissant babouin, il a trompé
Overwhelmed by the Blues

You can't bring yourself to hear the bad news
No one taught you how to lose
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Not enough crosses - You didn't win
Far too comfortable  in your skin

Without your clothes now - We all see
You're a nought, a nothing  - History is what you are
The lame duck,  President Provisoire

Hero to zero in the blink of an eye
Not a tear to be shed as we wave you goodbye
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Au revoir, M  Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Allez Maintenant!   Go find a wiper
One of your goons will change your diaper
You don't get no sympathy

Au revoir,  M Le President

Overwhelmed By the Blues (Schadenfreude Edition)

It's a song about warm weather and a cold, broken heart. And cheap souvenir merchandise. (Tchotchkes: A cheap souvenir or trinket)
From the Album
"A Suburban Dadaist With Some Store Bought Beats" (2020)
 
Lyrics:
Hey, where did you go?
Don't you know that the trade winds blow?
You left me here
With a sunburn
In the 3rd degree
Holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
Did you take my American Express?
Oh yes, good lord, you did!
I've got my puka shells
Only time will tell
If you'll come back to me
Waikiki tchotchkes
Sunburn in the 3rd degree
You left me holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
That really stinks for me
The Hawaiian Luau Buffet was buy one and get one free

Waikiki Tchotchkes
