Overfell

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

The future may not have been realized yet, but I seem to be realizing my retro wave desert rock ambitions with this latest new mix. I reminisce about old TV shows and books we read in the 80s and 90s that depicted what the future would be like. None of them seemed to accurately predict what it turned into. However, I believe it’s more of a delayed phenomenon, where there are unforeseen technological advancements and other developments that are still far beyond our current timeline.

Unrealized Future 

The future we thought was the 80s dream 
in 2025 was not the same thing
Visions of where we hoped to be 
Was a stranger reality 
 
Some might say I’m stuck in my ways 
That I like living in the past  
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize 

We said at the time in 30 years 
we’ll have flying cars 
with jetpacks hovering skates 
Ended up with small tv screens 
plastic everywhere in our oceans 
and lakes

Some might say I’m stuck in my ways 
That I like living in the past  
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize 

The temperatures warm and the climates changed
and there some who believe we live in an ice age 
You will know when life it  has improved 
Spend some time outdoors without burning away

Some might say I’m stuck in my ways 
That I like living in the past  
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize

Phosphorus Remix -THE PANTHEON PROJECT/delangio

Yesterday morning I went for a walk with my dog Lia on a small path in the forest to a small village in the Umeå archipelago. It had been -5 degress all night so the grass was covered by rime frost and the differances of tempetures from the ground and air created small fog banks that made an incredible nice texture. I recorded some small parts of the long walk and decided to make a track of it.

Welcome to join my walk with Lia.
