A few chords and deft storytelling. If he did steal his words , as Joni Mitchell has suggested, I really can’t blame him. I don’t know the song.. I was never a listener of Fulan mostly because my hearing does not allow me to make out the words. I can say this is another great delivery of a song  by someone. I dig your style dude.

🎵 My dear musical friend Len, what a haunting interpretation of this mysterious Dylan classic! ✨ Your voice and guitar work capture the dark allure of this demon lover tale perfectly 🎸 A mesmerizing rendition that honors Dylan's vision beautifully ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wonderful Dylan cover Len. Happy New Year :)

The Last Thing on my Mind

electric guitars...hot bass...swing rock drums...warm and slightly lost voice...blues solos...thrilling riffs...I really don't know how he managed to do it...and yet it's my new job... it's called sparkle... inspiration... divine breath...

OLD PATTERN

2024 Remix and Remaster version to bring it up to the standard of the later album tracks for full album release in 2025.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The surviving medieval priory Lindisfarne is the focus for this track. The priory was re-established in Norman times in 1093 as a Benedictine house and continued until its suppression in 1536 under Henry VIII. The original priory of St Cuthbert's time was long gone by then following the location of the relics of the saint as a result of the Viking scourge.

Inspired by "The Rainbow Arch", the track takes it's name from this surviving rib of the crossing vault that survived when the tower above it collapsed. The photo of this arch was taken on one of my visits to Lindisfarne.

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

The Rainbow Arch instrumental features strings, violin, flute, a choir backing, synthesizer pad (quite Floyd -like) and uilleann pipes. There was no historical reason to use the pipes as the Irish monks were long gone. It was more to do with the mixture of sounds in this piece. It felt right to my ears. It also features my best approximation of multitracked chanting.

Background

"The bell is rung for mass and the monks assemble. Whilst singing the chant they gaze up at the rainbow arch and their spirits soar."

I wanted to get inside the feeling of the monks in this holy place and was inspired by the surviving rainbow arch to do multiple parts singing the 'Kyrie Eleison' with different vocal timbres and link that into a rapture type section.

'I don't care'

I don't care what you think anymore.

i don't care

An atheists prayer for this beautiful, troubled world

I believe in love
Not love from a god above
It's in us all
even before we crawl
It's in our hearts
It's in our brains
It's in our arms
It's in our veins
I believe in love

I Believe In Love

I extracted only her vocals from the original recording, arranged, recorded, and reconstructed the track. 
The arrangement is quite different from the original, so please enjoy her original song from the link below.

’Camera’

If I could always remember
The world reflected in these eyes,
I feel like we’d meet again someday.

A mysterious feeling, a sudden intuition,
I can't quite explain it,
But maybe it's a signal
From my future self.

Finding dreams, giving birth to hope,
And then this sky
Grows vivid with color.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes
That awaken my soul
Will someday turn into my reality.
If I meet that world again,
This time, I’ll be the subject, too.
Say cheese!

Why do good and bad things
Always coexist?
I’ll embrace them
As life’s essence for me.

A smiling face, a troubled face—
If I line them up side by side,
I realize I love them both.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes
That awaken my soul
Will guide me when I lose my way.
I’ll look back at the photos I’ve saved.
The ones that make my heart race,
They’ll be my signal to move forward.

Though there are times of hardship,
We can focus on what we want to see.
The lens of our focus
Is ours to control.

Hold a camera in your heart
And let’s capture this feeling forever.
The colors and shapes—
They’re all allies of mine.
They’ll someday turn into my reality.
If I meet that world again,
This time, I’ll be the subject, too.
Say cheese!

Let’s keep filming with the camera of our hearts.

『カメラ』

この瞳に映る世界を
ずっと覚えていたなら
きっとまた会える
そんな気がする

摩訶不思議だピンときたこと
上手く言えないんだけど
未来の僕からの
合図かもしれない

夢を見つけて　希望が生まれて
そしてこの空は　鮮やかに
色付いてゆく

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
こころを刺激する
いつか僕のリアルに変わって
あの世界とまた　出会えたら
次は被写体に　僕もなって
ハイっ！ポーズ✌︎✌︎

なぜいい事とわるい事は
いつも存在するのかな？
僕へのエッセンスと
受け止めてみよう

笑ってる顔　悩んでる顔
ふたつ並べたら　どちらとも
大好きだな

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
こころを刺激する
もしも迷ってしまった時は
撮りためた写真　見返そう
こころがときめく　それが合図
行ってみよう

嫌なことも時にあるけど
見たいものだけ見れば良い
フォーカスは　自分で定められる

こころの中にcameraを持って
この気持ちを覚えていよう
色も形も
みんな味方にして
いつか僕のリアルに変わって
あの世界とまた　出会えたら
次は被写体に　僕もなって
ハイっ！ポーズ✌︎✌︎

こころのcameraを回していこう

Imagine

I tried an experiment to see if adding a little scale to noise would work as a replacement for hard chords in a song. I envied the creators of rock music. I realized that incorporating a genre that I envy is a valuable motif.

I want to feel the elephant's anger (315)

"Man in the Long Black Coat" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in 1989 as the fifth track on his album Oh Mercy. It is a minor-key folk ballad, often described as "haunting" and frequently cited as a highlight of the album. The song was produced by Daniel Lanois.
The song's lyric tells the story of a woman who leaves her partner to run away with the mysterious title character. It is often interpreted as a reworking of the ancient "daemon lover" motif, in which a woman leaves her husband for the devil."          Wikipedia

This ep is about beauty standards... Thank you.

Dynamic dialog between voice and guitar (one-shot recorded), over a very syncopated rhythm. Epic words and guitar solos, showing some rock background.

Dinámico diálogo entre voz y guitarra (todavía grabado del tirón) sobre un ritmo muy sincopado. Toques épicos en letra y solos de guitarra, dejando entrever entrañas de rock.

Lyrics/Letra:

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Una historia que contar,
un secuestro a voluntad,
una meta que cumplir,
el orgullo de mamá.

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Cuántas horas sin dormir,
sin salir y sin soñar
¿Qué ha venido a hacer aquí
el orgullo de mamá?

Ya queda poco (El orgullo de mamá)

“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.
