LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

We March On

Ice blue eyes is a love song with a twist. 
A fictional tale of someone falling in love, but there’s this iciness about the girl. You’re falling in love, but you can’t get a reaction. She is so beautiful, and you’ve totally fallen for her but at the same time, you know nothing about her, there’s so much mystery and intrigue; she is in fact playing a game, portraying herself as a dancer but is in reality a secret agent.

Nothing lasts forever...

Here are the lyrics:

Well, it has come the time
i was craving all my life
Now i just have to choose the
last song that i'll sing

It doesn't have to rhyme
after all it's only mine
There's nothing more to lose
long gone the days when i was king

I was waiting for so long
everything i did was wrong
Oh God how much it takes 
learning from your mistakes?

No need to say goodbye
don't share another lie
Just go your own way
it's not the right place to stay

That was all, nothing new
this song will be my last
i'm not tall that's the truth
so you can bury me fast

Well, it's that time of year
when everything is clear
The wind is blowing cold
inside is colder than outside

Noone will have to die
noone will ever cry
don't wait in vain my dear, from me
there's nothing else to hear

I fall, step aside
this song will be the last
don't call, i don't mind
please girl, bury me fast

The Last

"Spring Chicken" (Edit: Mastered with Ozone on September 28, 2023) 

I can't help it, I just have to keep playing these songs. 

We had a minor "setback" with the spring here in the north in that after a good start we've had a kind of cold spell for quite some time (minus degrees at nights, +5 Celsius in the day time). But as of today May 9th 2023 the spring finally is of more permanent nature:)! So in order to properly celebrate the development I tried to make a little song partly in late 70's and early 80s' style. I used Rhodes sound and the Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer (the drum beat is mine and some of the fills are from the 70s Drummer) and also some synth sounds that were used in the late 70's (especially the CS-80 sound), and I layered the synth sounds with e.g. the DX7 and MKS-20 soundscapes. The awesome bass is the Scarbee Jay-Bass (late 70's Jazz Bass) software instrument.

The keyboard part consists of a layer of the Scarbee EP-88S (Rhodes), the new Rhodes V8 Pro (Rhodes Mk8) and "The Twenty" from the UVI Key Suite Digital (cf. MKS-20). In addition I used a DX7 lead sound played with Yamaha Montage and also the somewhat newer UVI Six-12 from the "Ob Legacy" software instrument collection ("Ob-12 Brass" sound) and layered them with the lead sound I made with the Arturia CS-80 V. The strings come from the UVI Orchestral Suite.

This track is in a way a humble tribute to the great composer and the best bassist off all times Mr. Jaco Pastorius, who's signature song was the tune "Chicken" by Mr. Pee Wee Ellis.

This track is also a kind of tribute to the wonderful Casio PT-50 which was my first ever keyboard and which I will always remember. The Casio had some lovely demo songs which had "the breeze" in them, meaning e.g. that they felt like the warm summer wind on a beautiful summer day.
