When Russia invaded Ukraine, the first photo I saw was that of a pregnant woman who was killed by shelling.  The photo haunted me. Here was a woman ready to give birth, probably excited to have another baby or maybe even her first, and free to deliver the day before, but now, that freedom mercilessly taken away.  I wrote these lyrics to work through how I would have felt if my wife had died, and how the fight to obtain the lost freedom would feel without her no longer by my side.

Lyrics

You know, I didn’t say goodbye,
I didn’t think you’d be gone,
I didn’t think you’d die,
Before bringing our baby home.
Your building was in shambles,
And I couldn’t make it through,
But I knew I was already too late,
When I saw you on the news.

Since then it’s been hard
to keep freedom in my view.

Freedom comes, Freedom goes,
In my grief, it’s tough you know,
I feel I’m losing the battle to make it so,
Freedom comes, freedom goes
In every generation, it seems so,
But why was it in ours I had to let you go?

I’ve seen a march to victory
by a courageous few,
Courageous to die,
for what is true,
Holding their banner above their heads,
High in vivid hues,
To bring back our freedom,
To bring it back anew.

But I don’t care,
Not with you in my view.

Freedom comes, Freedom goes,
In my grief, it’s tough you know,
I feel I’m losing the battle to make it so,
Freedom comes, freedom goes
In every generation, it seems so,
But why was it in ours I had to let you go?

Why Was It in Ours?

a few words about it

Ricky Ricardo grew up in Almelo, where as a teenager he first came into contact with what would later turn out to be his passion. As an MC at house parties in the 90s, young Ricky not only developed his sense of rhythm, it was the experience of a house party that had the most influence.
Now create your own tracks and mix tracks
it is my passion and my dream is to be a good DJ I have been making tracks for a long time, mixing them so that people like my tracks, it is my passion and I am creative making tracks it is fun to do
I hope to break through with my tracks in the future, I try to make different styles









Ricky Ricardo groeide op in Almelo, waar hij als tiener voor het eerst in aanraking kwam met wat later zijn passie zou blijken te zijn. Als MC op houseparty's in de jaren 90 ontwikkelde de jonge Ricky niet alleen zijn gevoel voor ritme, het was de ervaring van een houseparty die de meeste invloed had.

A passionate DJ and producer who says:
 








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.
