very beautiful song...peaceful and meditative...was on my way to the dentist  when it came on my feed ( a place I really dont like visiting) so I played this on repeat....just am feeling calmer..just arrived there...heading in now ..Be Still is my mantra for the next hour...thx Len

Beautiful song Len. Calming words and music. Voice is meditative. I need to take this advice.🙏🏼

I wish I played this song when I couldn't sleep last night! With which I mean that I find it calming, not that I find it boring :) You have a nice sound!

makes me slow down ..for a minute.. a hectic life in a hectic world.. this song is just what I needed today.. thanks for sharing this wonderful tune, Len!

Every wee boy wants to be James Bond. lol 

Suit made of plaid , tuxedo man
Looking oh so grand
Got that crooked smile
Walkin' down the aisle

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

He sips his sparkling wine
Pretends everything is fine
But his eyes they tell a tale
A lonely windy wail

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

Maybe he's a spy a secret agent man
Maybe he's just shy part of a bigger plan
We may never know the truth beneath the seams
Just a man in tartan living out his dreams

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

A new song........

Lyrics:

Turn down the noise, put your mind on mute
Listen to nature singing softly in the distance
Look out the window where the light hits the truth
And a pocket of hush where your wild thoughts go

Be still — just for a moment
Be still — just be present
Be still — just for a minute
Be still, be still, be still

 The clock keeps stealing time
 Slow the seconds minute by minute 
Listen as you breathe slowly in and out
Let the world spin its stories as you vacation in your mind

The earth keeps spinning
Spend some quiet time in the open air
The burdens of the day can wait
There’s grace in the ordinary time and space

Take off your shoes and walk slowly
Feel the steady rhythm of your footsteps
There’s mercy in the silence
When you trade the rush of doing for the sacred of plain

I'm  floating on a wave...
Flying in the wind...
I'm dancing to the light...
Breathng the air of life....

Floating

This piece was inspired by a particular Shakespeare sonnet.

                      Sonnet 106
          
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:

For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

Descriptions Of The Fairest Wights

Funny how hard it is to recall details of what seemed at the time the most important permanent parts of your life..like a first love or relationship. Seems flashes of images remain but not the whole package

lyrics:
I can remember the day it all came together
and the minute it all fell apart
I don't recall the reasons for either
but they both left a big black mark on my heart

try to recall the places and faces
try to remember the pleasure and pain
little things we did scattered through time
a few words we said sometimes come to mind

but my memory has failed me 
it's a big black hole
with a few points of light that flicker and vanish
but don't form a pattern try as I might

yes I remember the start and the finish
but not much of the middle I 'm afraid my friend
looks like i'm missing some pieces of the puzzle
but I can't go back
I can't start over again

can't go back

Hi Everyone!
This is another joint track by our duo and the first one after a slightly longer break. 
We invite everyone to take a ride on the cosmic highway through the Milky Way. For now, it's all happening in our imagination, but one day... in the future... who knows?
We refer here to our previous songs (especially “Winter Trip”) and surf-ambient sounds, but we also try to add new elements and textures. 
We hope you enjoy our new project! 
Have a nice trip! 🌔

Milky Hi-Way (w/Well)

Well I remember....

My new track. came up with some vocals.

Lyrics

I never remember
the little things we did
until
the time I found out 
its just the little things 
I found out 
its just the little things  
that made me love you
but I don't remember
how it felt 
oh I don't remember 
how it really felt
 all I have is memories 
                   (oh you)     (oh you)
that seem to drift into the void
             (oh you)    (oh you)       
all I have are memories
                  (oh you) (oh you)
that drift into the void  
               (oh you) (oh you) 
oh how i loved you 
for the little things you did
how I miss you
how I miss you
how I miss you
oh i miss you
oh i forget you  
oh i miss you 
and i forget the way you smile 
and looked at me
oh i miss you
as i said something stupid  
those were the days 
i will never forget how it counts 
i will never forget 
i will remember 
the little things 
the little things

Hope you enjoy it

Wealth Costs The Wellness Of Saints

A new track from me and my son  EffAy  (Fredrik)
He  played the guitar and made the mix
I made lyrics and vocal
Thank you once again, Fredrik. So glad you will make music with your mum ❤️

Thank you so much for listening 🫶

Lyrics:

The morning dew is here
Old memories come through..
The taste of coffee, makes me think
I used to drink it with you...
I see your face in the morning dew..

The morning dew is here
But slowly the sky turns blue
I drink my coffee, look around and smile
The sunbeams dance around you
And chase away the morning dew...

Morning Dew

Warm Windows

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
