Midnight Coffee

they eat your legs first

She sought love from the same woman over and over again and was rejected each time. Her answer is always the same whether she proposes the first time, the second time, or the third time. No!
"Then why did we always enjoy chatting so well?" And why does the feeling of my long-gone love never fade away?

No matter how many times I propose, her answer is no! (263)

To the Heavens

Ik Laat Je Gaan

Ik hoor bij jou
Jij hoort bij mij
Dat spookt in mijn gedachten
Ik voel je hier
Heel dicht bij mij
Ik wil eeuwig op je wachten
Maar ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen, mijn toekomstplannen
De liefde zal blijven voortbestaan
Dat kunnen wij toch niet verbannen

Ja ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen, mijn toekomstplannen
De liefde zal blijven voortbestaan
Dat kunnen wij toch niet verbannen

Maar k denk aan jou
Denk jij aan mij?
Ik laat je gaan
Ik ben klaar met wachten
Jij bent niet hier
Ik ben niet bij jou
Het zijn maar mijn gedachten
Ja ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen en mijn dromen
Mijn visies en mijn plannen
Het zal er vast wel nooit van komen

Maar ik hoor bij jou
Jij hoort bij mij
Dat spookt in mijn gedachten
Ik voel je hier
Heel dicht bij mij
Kijk mij nu maar jou smachten
Maar ik laat jou gaan

Ik Laat Je Gaan

A new composition
Lyrics:

In the silence of the night, I've laid my heart bare,
Words like whispers drifting, tangled in the air.
I spoke of the shadows, the weight of a smile,
Trying to lift the darkness, if just for a while.

I’ve seen the faces, their eyes locked tight,
Chasing the phantoms of a flickering light.
Lost in the chatter, of voices all wrong,
Searching for truth in a deafening song.

But the last song is playing, and it’s bittersweet,
A melody fading, beneath restless feet.
Where do we wander when the lights start to fade?
In this masquerade, has hope ever stayed?

 Lost in the shuffle, as we dance in the dark,
Clinging to echoes, but where’s the spark?
This world is a canvas smeared with despair,
Maybe the colors were never quite there.

So, what will be left when we roll up the scroll?
A tale of a wanderer, lost in the control.
I question the fabric of this strange design,
Is it fate or just folly that draws us the line?
                                               
So, I sing one last time, in the still of the night,
As the curtain is falling, I hold on to the light.
We fight for a place where the heart can be free,
In this aching reflection, it's just you and me.

The Last Song is Playing

Crime Of Passion,== Gene Jumper, ( cover ) Ricky Van Shelton

Oh marshmallow donkey with a sting in your tail 
You’re the king of confections on a frightening trail 
Not a treat to meet in the midnight breeze 
A chewy nightmare that brings you to your knees

This lovely person inspired this. Thanks for making me think

It's rough the idea at the mo. In fact it was on the fly so happy with it given that.

I'm being very sincere when I say you stopped me in my tracks on how I think about AI music. I was very naive to the positives it gives.

I will continue to have the right conversations about it where I can but thanks for improving those going forward.

Well done, your Grandkids are lucky to have you.
 
Cheers,

Carl

Is Love So Simple, Then?

“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.
