I lost myself in time and got back to 90s, for sure. Love it, great words. 🖖🏼

Enjoying this retro vibe. Thanks for sharing Mark

Hi find immense joy in exploring new sounds and discovering emerging artists. Music has a unique way of connecting with us, and every now and then, I stumble upon a track that resonates deeply with my soul. Recently, I came across an incredible song that not only captivated my ears but also struck a chord within me. The melodies, the lyrics, and the overall vibe of the track are simply amazing, and I can't help but feel a strong connection to it. As I immerse myself in this musical journey, I often think about the artists behind the music. Their creativity and passion are what bring these beautiful sounds to life. What inspired you to create this song, and what message do you hope listeners take away from it?

Bamboo Wedding Bells

Original song by Leonard Cohen. As performed by Jeff Buckley.

Lyrics:
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Well, baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah (live acoustic cover, orig. song by Leonard Cohen)

The Blindman Knows

Give me just one night,

Let's dance until the morning wakes up.

Your eyes carry the light,

That the darkness breaks.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

Your closeness sounds like a sound,

Like a whisper deep in the horizon.

Everything is silent, but I only hear you,

My soul sings for you.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

And when the morning comes,

You stay in every word.

Love and pain united,

You paint my heart so much.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

Schenke mir nur eine Nacht.m4a

As i lie here soaking up the sun, the sand outlines the way the river runs.

Soaking up the Sun

Descending Points

I decided to take another stab at this song (went down a rabbit hole for about 10 hours and completely re-played and re-sang the song).  I struggled with the vocals on my original version so I changed the key to E which made it easier to sing.

Lyrics
In the planet of the ape’s movie in 1968
Astronauts crash landed on a planet that was in a sorry state
They stumbled across a society intelligent of apes who could speak
And there were humans, but they were mute and weak
They’d been asleep in their hibernation pods and 2006 years had elapsed
And somewhere during that time humanity had collapsed
And the astronauts didn’t realize they were on the planet where they’d been born as the apes hunted them and they hid in a field of corn
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that monkey fate, hope we smarten up
I wonder what those apes are thinking as they’re sitting in their cages at the zoo
Are they biding their time, making plans for what they’re goanna do
Are they dreaming of the day when they’re on the other side of that glass wall
Are they patiently counting the minutes, waiting for humanities downfall
The apes killed one of the astronauts and they stuffed him and put him on display j
Just like trophy hunters do with animals today
The Astronaut named Taylor, he got shot in the throat
He was unable to talk, so he got a pen and showed the apes what he wrote
The apes realized he was intelligent, and it shook them to their core
And the forbidden zone was a place they weren’t supposed to explore
Taylor met a girl he named Nova, she couldn’t talk but she was pretty.
A couple of apes helped them escape to what used to be New York city
And they rode together on a horse on a beach that looked like the west coast
Until they found that statue and realized humanity was toast
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that Monkey Fate, hope we smarten up
The planet of the ape’s is supposed to be science fiction
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an accurate depiction

Planet Of The Apes V 2.0

Evergreen

Cruising through the retro village 
So lit up so lit up 
We took it up a level
Making outfits by sewing them up

Waves of evergreen through stormy field
We chase around in the meadows
Watching all the deer 

Reflection says it all
Excitement waves all over
Summer, spring or fall
They all can see the appeal

We stop to check out the gingerbread scene
It’s so lit up 
Candy store awaits and
Carrot cake is standing by 
 
We’re lost in the dream
As the storm moves over the field 
I send all the clouds away and 
Watch the golden fireflies

Reflection says it all
Excitement waves all over
Summer, spring or fall
It radiates the field 

I don’t know where I am 
Waves of evergreen through stormy field
We chase around in the meadows
Capture all the fireflies

It radiates the field 
Lightning streaks all over 
In no time at all
The buzzing starts to rumble

Kickstart eruption
Gotta move gotta move   
Take hold of the ocean
Save it all save it all
