My impressions of when long ago I visited a frozen lake in which I found skaters, a pine forest, the snowy path, a flock of birds and a lot of peace.

The frozen lake. (Landscape - Skaters 1 - The path - Skaters 2 - The Pine Forest - Farewell.)

Her Storm

Drums: David Lopez
All other instruments: Sam Reaver

Stock crash middle class 
Counterfeit crime of a century
Cutthroat don’t choke
Better him than you on the brink

Cool breeze charismatic
Grave robbing scam of a century
Drill baby thrill baby
Burning up an Anthropocene

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Pill-poppin priest talkin trash 
Through the crash of a century
Blind luck dumb fuck 
Jamming up the waves on my scene

Flip top shock jock 
Certified creep of a century
I see you don’t know how to read
But you write like you know what it means

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me. I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Lost in a Symphony

I've never thought that I ever write a tango... And here it is, after playing with Valhalla Supermassive plugin it emerged out of nowhere. I hope You'll enjoy listening to it or even try to dance to it, even if it sounds a little apocalyptic ;)

Watch Me

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Lyrics:

Wandering through the wilderness
Since that fateful choice was made
Shiny apple in a tree
Wanting to know everything
But oh how we’ve fallen like
Lightning from the sky
Forgetting everything we use to be
Truth mixed with lie

The darkness makes you stay asleep
These things around you start to creep

I don’t wanna be a sleepwalker 
Blindly searching in the dark
Help me to wake up and to see Father
The Truth of what You are

We’re told our lives are meaningless 
A flash in the universe
Do what thou whilst
No future and no purpose
But oh how Youu seek us like
The dawn breaks through the night
Shining down on our hiding place
What You did on the cross

The darkness trembles at Your feet
My eyes have opened I can see

I don’t wanna be a sleepwalker
Blindly searching in the dark
Help me to wake up and to see Father
The Truth of what You are
I don’t want to be a sleepwalker
Blindly searching through the darkness 
Help me to wake up and to see Father
The Truth of what You’ve done for us

I don’t want to be asleep
I don’t want to be asleep
I don’t want to be a sleepwalker 

You brought me out to save me Father
The Truth of what You’ve done

Our Father who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. 
Thy will be done 
On earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread, 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
As we forgive those who trespass against us, 
And lead us not into temptation, 
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, 
Forever and ever.
