Vedran - The Selfie       d

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Mike.
Vocals, instrumentation and mix by Mike Fox.

HE GREW UP BACK IN THE DAY
WITH TWO GUITARS IN THE HOUSE
ONE WAS SPECIAL TO HIS MOM
NOBODY KNEW HOW TO PLAY

IT BELONGED TO HIS UNCLE
THEY CALLED THE GUITAR MAN
THAT WAS KILLED IN THE BIG WAR
NEVER GOT TO PLAY IN A BAND

(CHORUS)
HE WROTE THIS SONG
ABOUT THE GUITAR MAN
HE NEVER GOT TO MEET HIM
OR WRITE A SONG WITH HIM
PRAY HE'S UP IN HEAVEN
PLAYING IN A BAND

HE CARRIED HIS GUITAR 
EVERYWHERE HE WENT
ALWAYS HAPPY TO PLAY
HIS PLAYING WAS HEAVEN SENT

(GUITAR SOLO)

THEY ALWAYS SAID HIS UNCLE A. J.
WOULD BE A STAR SOMEDAY
BUT LIKE SO MANY OTHERS
HE HAD A BIGER PRICE TO PAY

HIS MAMA GAVE THE GUITAR AWAY
CAUSE NOBODY KNEW HOW TO PLAY
IT WAS JUST COLLECTING DUST
WISHES HE HAD THAT FLAT TOP TODAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

'shit at and hit'
Thanks to grandma Billie for the phrase. A wonderful woman. I've yet to hear of this phrase existing prior, nor of it from anyone else since.
Scotty: Two yamaha storia II takes through a fender mustang III amp with differing fx, channeled accordingly, maybe, hopefully, and a handful of vocal takes layered. 

I can't get up today.
I've got no words to say.
Everything always replays,
and causes me dismay. 

I feel like I've been shot at and missed, and shit at and fucking hit. 

If there is a god,
why the fuck would they
make us in the mould
to have to feel this way?
Everyday.

shit at and hit

Mike Spring posted a wonderful acoustic guitar piece about a month ago and offered it up to Soundcloud as an Open Collaboration - https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/open-collaboration - Thanks to Mike for sharing such a fine platform.
When I first heard it, I hoped it could make a powerfully poignant song. Let me know if you think it works.

Believing,
You’re leaving,
Souls cleaving
Apart.

Bereaving
I’m grieving
Like breathing
By heart.

Relieving
And releasing
A healing 
To start.
  
Pre-ordained,
Parting of the ways.
Maligned in,
Terminal decline.
Where’s the ‘good’ in
Saying goodbye?
Au revoir, Adiós, Ciao…
A different word,
In a different way 
Won’t make it OK.
Goodbye darling,
Darling, it’s goodbye…

Goodbye darling,
Souls cleaving
Apart.
Goodbye darling,
Like breathing
By heart.
Goodbye darling,
A healing 
To start.
Goodbye

Mike Spring posted a great open collab some time ago, which I'd heard on Jim (telefan)'s page. Today I decided to add a little eBow guitar which I hope compliments his lovely melodic playing.
Thank you Mike.

Many Years - MIKE SPRING And Spade♤

Thank you, Mike Spring, for this collaboration! We hope you all enjoy the wonderful sounds! https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring
Music and lovely guitar: Mike Spring
Lyrics and vocals: Lisa West/Faerytale

Many Years
A song was heard from afar upon the mountains to the sea
Kings and princes were lost in pursuit
Of a whispered melody
Some gave up the search calling it legend
Some grew to fear the sound
Until a mighty man, lost in deep sleep was awakened
His heart was unbound
[Chorus]
He said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine
Many years is not enough time
You were calling, I couldn't see
I was lost in a dark reverie.'
[ ]
He searched known realms, but when the song faded
Turned to a foreign place
Arriving where many roads meet, he saw a lovely face
She did not know he watched her there
As love overcame him, sweet
For the melody long sought for sprang from her dancing feet
[Chorus]
She said, 'I'm going to dance and you'll follow me
If you can dance along, there may be a kiss, we'll see.'
He followed her every move, didn't miss a step
She said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine. Many years is not enough time.'

Many Years by Mike Spring and Faerytale aka Lisa West

Netherlands based singer-songwriter/guitarist/composer/sound engineer.

My music is very instinctive. I like all kinds 
of music even if I attend most assiduously 
 Pop, Classical and Jazz.
I compose mostly with the piano but 
I'm experimenting  with the composition
 with acoustic guitar. I enjoy playing Sax 
and Trumpet (keys) in my tracks and in 
collaboration with other soundclouders.
I write and sing in Italian lyric and I am
 improving my singing in English. I hope
 my passion for music can give
 you some nice feeling.
