Warm sun shining throughout this glorious piece. Such country blues inspired improvisation just lifts the spirits!

such wonderful passing tones between chords

Magical sound. Fantastic work with Piano. Great production, Pablo.

I might make some minor edits later, but here's "Counting Down"

LYRICS:
 
Lately I've been saying the wrong things
Thinking the bad thoughts, going the wrong way
Playing the dumb games, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been feeling like nothing
Feeling like no one, heading to nowhere
Letting the days pass, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been running the wrong roads
Wasting a new day, going a bad way
Hurting my own faith, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Lately I've been sinking to nothing
Losing my patience, losing my conscience
Letting the days pass, watching my time fade
Counting down to the day that I die

Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting
Don't want to be, don't want to be
Don't want to be stuck counting

Counting Down

蜘蛛の母待つ部屋へ行く
手に撥を持ち　太鼓を叩き

I go to the room where the mother of spiders is waiting for me, as I hold a stick in my hand and beating a drum.

蜘蛛の脚 (The spider's haste and stealthy steps)

This is a song written about my childhood friend Paul Bailey. Between the ages of about 8 till 12 he was my best friend and we were inseparable. Then his family moved away and I never saw him again. That was almost 60 years ago. I still remember him and the times that we had, though I am sometimes amazed that we survived, they were very different times......

I am joined by two Soundcloud friends
On stupendous saxophones - wonderful Georg Böhme https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
On gorgeous guitar - brilliant Dairv Dubbleyew https://soundcloud.com/dairv-dubbleyew
I am grateful to them both for sharing their time and talent and they really illuminate the song. I recommend going to listen to them, if you have not already : )

Me and Paul 

Me and Paul , down at the waters edge
Throwing clodges* to block up the stream 
We'll make a pond to swim in all summer long
Making a pond the size of a dream
Me and Paul, cowboys and indians
Up on the mountain all day long
Building shanties** and lighting fires
10 years old and going headlong

and ohh, we were wild and free
we did what we wanted
just him and me
Oh we did what we wanted
we were kings of our country

Me and Paul , building gambos*** from old pram wheels
rolling stones at the gates like a hammer blow
climbing the rocks in the quarry behind our homes
and breaking into busses in the park below
Me and Paul, collecting bottles for the money back
spending the pennies on bangers**** and cigarettes
making cannons out of old lead pipes
10 years old and we were going headlong

and ohh, we were dangerous
and most of all we were wild and free
10 years old and going headlong
the wildest desperados, in the Rhondda Valley


I have used Rhondda Valleys terminology
*clodges - a rough turf pulled by hand
**shanties – little hideaways or huts built with anything to hand, stones, earth, branches, rubbish
*** gambos – box carts, built with any old wood or wheels that could be found
****bangers - fireworks

Me And Paul (with Georg Böhme and Dairv Dubbleyew)
