Lyrics :
Off we go
into the unknown
(just sit back and)

Watch the show
hold your own

The place's we'll go
the seeds that we sew

Oh the places we'll go
the faces we'll know

Time rolls on
we are the song
(come on let's have)

Have some fun
while you're young
(comes on let's go)

Oh the places we'll go
the seeds that we sew

Oh the places we'll go
the faces we'll know
(come on let's go)

Oh, The Places We'll Go ☀️  (Keri Johnson . Prod pb)

Something more traditional/folksy I've been chipping away at for a bit, struggling to flesh it out with more instrumentation. However, the more I listen to its currently bare-cupboard, acoustic vocals+piano arrangement, maybe it's simply *meant* to remain rough and rudimentary?

So please pay no attention to the little finger flubs here and there, and just let yourself get washed over by the orange waves of the Northumberland Strait, where I grew up and where my childish heart still beats.

***

Orange waves crash then go
Stealing sand with its ebb and flow
Holes dotting cliffsides' red clay
Where the swallows sleeping lay

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

Island smiles from across the way
Thin dark line splits Strait and sky
It flickers ghostly, hovers fey
Once Ile Saint-Jean, now PEI

Each flat stone we throw from the beach
With dreams to skip, perhaps to fly
All doomed to sink, the island never reached
Drowning jealous of the driftwood swimming by

As full moon flirts with blushing tide
Salt waters sink and sandbars swell
Before they change their minds and hide
I take their path to Mount Carmel

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
Trois-Ruisseaux

Orange Waves (acoustic rough)

All My Yesterdays (Lyrics)

My mind ain't what it used to be
Now playing tricks on me
Places and faces I don't recall

Is this my bed, is this my home
Why these thoughts please Leave me alone
Who am I what's it all coming to

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

When I wake I think I don't know
Looking for those who passed long ago
Oh why is this happening to me

Its such a strange such a lonely place
Thoughts leave you without a trace 
All my memories are slipping away

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

I see something warm in your eyes
Struggle with your name I try and recognize
I'm sorry but this isn't me

Hold my hand comfort me
I know you now momentarily
How I wish this moment would last

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading 

As song I wrote and recorded for an Alzheimer's charity! A subject very dear to me. Apart from funds raised it was also to highlight awareness to this heartbreaking condition.

All My Yesterdays - Original Song

I have always loved the Em key, it is one of my favourite keys,  it is open to the Chord structures all over the fretboard, and open strings that gives this chord a fullness of sound, this one I recorded using the Sound Libraries make up that gives it lift and creates the atmosphere that I really love the fullness and rich passages that make up this piece.

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
