The Busker (Piano Improv)

A new composition..... 

Lyrics

In a dark time, the eye begins to see
Everything is like empty space
Sometimes you may be lost
The voice of others can be your voice
Just push yourself to let them in

Do things on your own terms
Be seen and understood
Your voice can be loud, even when not speaking a word
Enjoy the feeling of freedom
Sometimes it’s just a safe space to explore

We are all simple souls
Like gravity swallowing space
Telling stories which may or not be true
Decisions just may change your life

Seek the joy of an inner laugh
Follow what brings you joy
Manifest things that matter to you
The best art can reflect light
Being perfect is just not that interesting


We are all simple souls
We are all simple souls
We are all simple souls

We Are All Simple Souls (Remaster)

Presenting Orchestral Version of:

"Crimson Horizon"

I have creatively transformed my original version of Crimson Horizon - Orchestral Version to create an atmosphere of corrupted people in the otherworld, there are some that choose to stay till nearly the end of the composition, leaving the harp to enter into the crimson horizon, night sky alone.

I have played each of the following instruments:
Piano
Cello Legato
Cello Staccato
Cello Tremolo
Violin Section 2 Legato
Violin Tremolo
Harp melody 
Alchemy pads & structures

Composed & Produced
in the
ARAPA Music Studio

Crimson Horizon - Orchestral

I'm holding on to snapshots...
moments caught in time
the joy forever smiling
...on every face I find
but I've gone missing...my smile has disappeared - and now
I'm holding on to tendrils of half a century
...in my mind
O they climb and climb...to places out of reach
and I find myself falling - inside that breach
can I bare my teeth...now
can I square my feet - now
and sometimes I'm just tired
gotta hold myself 
gotta hold myself
cause I've gone missing
from all those snapshots on my shelf
yea
and I hang on to old memories
clipped to a firefly string
an electric candle burning...
where my memories cling
and dear god
I still feel the sunshine and the sand...the gulls flying up above
...but holding squares of moments...
seems an echo of that love
yea
I hang on to old memories
clipped to a firefly string
and when my smile finds me...
those fireflies'll take wing

Snapshots On My Shelf

Raptor Enjoying The Clouds

There’s a story I’d like to share with you tonight
It’s a story about Casey and it’s a story that’s half sad
The half that is sad is Casey, cause Casey is sad
But I have little love for Casey, you should make up your own mind


Casey pushed his beer over the counter 
He  stood up and rested his hands on the cool  copper
Sled a quarter over to the barman 
And waved a silent goodbye to nobody 

He walked to his old car across the corner, Got inside 
and let the smell of worn damp leather take over 
His thoughts 
And make him forget  how his life 
Took  the wrong turn
 
Casey is sad
Casey you’re driving
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying
 
Casey got back home  to his tired couch
Dropped his coat on the floor uncapped a warm beer /
on the table And every silence told him 
aboute a  love that disowned
 
Buy  Casey knows he’s never  done nothing wrong
In fact he ’s always been doing the same thing all along
And sometimes yes sometimes 
he cared and listened

Poor Casey knows that he’ll die alone on this dirty couch
Between the remnants of empty bottles and pizza boxes
And the fading memories of his normal life
Like old photographs pinned on the wall


Casey you’re crying
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying


Casey is sad  
Casey is crying
Casey is sad

Casey is sad (demo)

The final track from the amazing EP "Yes, No, Maybe, So" By Anastasiya, full credit to the artist. 

Enjoy :)

"So" - Anastasiya Ihnatovich - Guitar Arrangement by Joel Senior

She-me-slaver is a love song that foster from paradox. The sound is quite Celtic but the use of different modes can make us talk bout medieval at the same time it maintains a feeling to gothic pop music. The rhythm is wild, the sound is dark and strong. It was recorded with a flamenco guitar and we added the bodhrán, the shekere and violins.

I started playing drums at 9 years of age and played professionally most of my life.  Over the years I added additional instruments to my skills as you will see in the songs I have posted here.  I do all of the vocals and play all of the instruments and do my own recording and mixing.  Many of the songs I've posted are my orignals.  I hope you enjoy them.  Peace and love.  Mike
