Just a really nice laid-back vibe in both the instrumental track and lyrical vocals. Add to that a helping of good humor.

Wow what a lovely hip swaying melody amazing

Lovely laid back vibe, beach sounds. Sounds great Mark.

really great lyrics I think,,"this isn't lethargy, it's my kind of energy" perfect..nice easy beat/rhythm goes with the theme

An easy, lovable groove and it washes over me like the waves on a tropical shore. I like your lyrics too Mark, sort of whimsical, happy and free stuff. A pleasurable little trip! Durge

i do like this , its very sweet and enjoy the tongue in cheek lyric

Really nice vocals so much smooth sailing in the strumming and great vibes:)

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 071 Part 2

🎭 THERME, TRÄUME, TAUSEND FRAGEN 🛁✨
Ein Kurort träumt vom großen Wurf: Eine Therme mit Hotel, Dampf und Gastronomie – gebaut aus Modulen, bezahlt mit Vertrauen und beschlossen im Eiltempo. Klingt zu gut, um wahr zu sein? Genau das ist der Stoff für meinen neuen Song:
🎶 „Goldene Blasen“ – ein Lied über heiße Luft, kühle Recherchen und warme Versprechungen.
Ein bisschen Albtraum, ein bisschen Realsatire – und leider viel zu nah an der Wirklichkeit.
Wem gehört der Traum? Wer zahlt die Rechnung? Und was bleibt am Ende – außer Chlorgeruch von gestern?
👉 Jetzt anhören / ansehen und gern weiterträumen – oder weiterdenken.

„Goldene Blasen“ - Ein Lied in vier Akten und einem Versprechen
________________________________________
[1. Akt – Die Erscheinung]
Ich träumte im Schatten leerer Bahnen,
wo einst Kinder und Senioren schwammen.
Da tauchte auf – mit warmem Lächeln –
ein Mann, der Zukunft in die Luft versprühte.
Er trug Visionen, schön verpackt,
aus Broschüren und Modellen –
und sprach vom Schatz aus heißem Wasser,
als wär’s ein Quell für unser Seelenheil.
„Ich bau euch eine Wunderwelt,
aus Holz, aus Dampf, aus Gastronomie!
Ihr zahlt, ich lenke – und wenn’s nicht klappt,
dann war’s nur Fantasie.“
________________________________________
[Refrain 1]
Und alle nicken, selig stumm,
wenn’s nur nach Aufbruch riecht und Sauna.
Wer braucht schon Sinn, real ein Bad?
wenn man auf schöne Bilder starrt?
Die Rechnung kommt – ganz ohne Glanz.
Doch zahlt am Ende… der, der nie gefragt.
________________________________________
[2. Akt – Das Schweigen]
Im Rathaus funkeln neue Träume,
die Zahlen tanzen powerpointschön.
„Das hat doch irgendwo geklappt!“
Keiner fragt dann: Wo?, und lässt’s geschehen.
Man streicht Kultur, man spart am Leben,
doch für Visionen ist noch Platz.
Denn wer will denken, wer will fragen,
wenn er Hoffnung hat im Übermaß?
________________________________________
[Refrain 2]
Und alle jubeln, voller Eile:
„Bis 2027 muss es stehen!“
Die Blumenschau, die wird’s schon richten,
obwohl sie nur sieben Monde geht.
Wer braucht schon Sinn, real ein Bad?
Wenn man auf schöne Bilder starrt.
Doch zahlt am Ende… der, der nie gefragt.
________________________________________
[3. Akt – Die Hotel-Illusion]
Ein Haus mit hundert Zimmern wächst
aus Thermengrund – in der Kurallee.
Im Ort stehn schon drei Häuser leer –
doch dieses wird mit Glanz bedacht.
Ein Mantelgang zum Kurhotel,
das klingt nach Luxus und Genie.
Schulkinder plantschen nirgendwo -
ohne Lobby – Investitionsstrategie.
________________________________________
[Refrain 3]
Und alle träumen von Touristen,
die den Kurort überfluten.
Vielleicht kommt einer mal im Juni,
verirrt sich zwischen Wellnessrouten.
Doch bis dahin baut man Träume –
mit Schulden – ohne Fundament.
Denn wer das schönste Schloss erfindet,
plant ohne Keller konsequent.
________________________________________
[4. Akt – Der Abgesang]
Dann ist er weg, der Mann mit Glanz,
die Messe ist gelesen, rumms.
Ein Schild verspricht: „Hier wächst was Großes“,
doch keiner weiß mehr was.
Die Fenster blind, das Wasser fehlt,
das Unkraut sprießt, der Traum verblasst.
Man hört noch leise Stimmen sagen:
„Das war doch alles nur ein Spaß.“
________________________________________
[Schlussrefrain]
Und alle träumen von Touristen,
die den Wandel sicher bringen.
Doch was in bunten Plänen glänzt,
wird selten Wirklichkeit durchs Singen.
Denn wo man Schlösser baut auf Sand,
und Zweifel still im Schrank versteckt –
da bleiben am Ende viele Fragen
zu dem, was keiner je verstand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
When Mirjam sung on my playback 'On my knees' -->  "https://soundcloud.com/mirjam-keijnemans/rock-flexible-and-mirjam-keijnemans" we agreed that it could be a nice idea to start with an collab-song together. Mirjam sent me a guitar track and one vocal track. Soon I laid out the background vocals by shifting parts of the original vocals. The song has no BPM because Mirjam played it free flowin' without click track. A job for a real drummer, so I asked Peter (the drummer of https://soundcloud.com/oesj) and he was so kind to play his excellent drums for this track. Then I added bass guitar and some guitar adlibs here and there ... that's it. We hope you like it and enjoy listening so much as we do :)
I have to say it was an absolute pleasure to work with Mirjam on this track and I thank her for the draft track and her patience. I also thank Peter for accepting and mastering the challenge! Thank you all, I am blessed!

My very good friend Régulo (AKA https://soundcloud.com/kings-of-manguareo) in Venezuela asked me to write a lyric about 'El Manguareo', which means prevarication. I am very happy that he liked it as I was a bit nervous writing and singing in a very different genre.

El Manguareo

Why would you do today, 
When you can put off ’til tomorrow?
You think that I’m being lazy, 
I’ve got all day, You’re just crazy
So why all the hurry,
Why do you scurry 
Around all the time?
This ain’t lethargy,
It’s my kind of energy

They call me 
‘El Manguareo’,
A sight to see
‘El Manguareo’

So what if I look rough?
My beard ain’t hurting anybody.  
Where is my need to put on a show,
When I’ve got nowhere at all to go?
Give me the incentive
I’ll be inventive,
Bang right on time.
Some motivation,
I’ll race to the station    

‘El Manguareo’

Why would you do today, 
When you can put off ’til tomorrow?
You think that I’m being lazy, 
I’ve got all day, You’re just crazy
So why all the hurry,
Why do you scurry 
Around all the time?
This ain’t lethargy,
It’s my kind of energy

Vocalese outro...

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

A Million Miles Away (Lyrics)

I've Seen So Much In This World
Been A Changing Of The Weather
There's Been So Much I Have Learned
Now I'm Floating Like A Feather

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I Guess It's Always The Same
Nothing Lasts Forever
There'll Always Be A New Day
Let's Shine A Light Together

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I've Seen So Much In This World
Been A Changing Of The Weather
There's Been So Much I Have Learned
Now I'm Floating Like A Feather

I've Found A Way To Your Heart
Let's Drift Away To The Stars
A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away

I Know You Know
There's A Place For Us
I Know You Know
There's A Place For Us

Gaining Altitude - Gary Rees | WBE

A simple song/jam that got me out of a rut during a difficult time... not one of my best, but a personal favourite

Recorded 4th December 2020

You're out of time, baby
You're out of time
You're out of line, baby
You're out of line

And if you don't care,
I'm going to find you out
And if you don't know me by now...

You're out of time, baby,
You're out of time
You're out of line, baby
You're out of line

And if you don't care
I'd rather find out now
And if you're not fair
I won't be hanging 'round
And if you don't know
You're going to find out now
And if you don't know me by now...

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
