wonderful composition. fine vocals as well. 

real nice latin groove, great guitar and orchestration!

Great sense of longing in the lyric, and sweet music..!

Great style and sound!High quality performances!

Gorgeous song and guitar work. Haunting vocals throughout the Latin textures.

This is super good, nicely sparse.  It pulls me in the further I go.

Many years – the collaborations -

At the end of the year we all have something to look back upon. I looked back at the many years behind me and made my personal musical reflection in this piece of music: a instrumental, latin pop kind of track with a special Spanish ‘fire’ in the middle.

This is a list of collaborations that came to stand with the original instrumental (down the list) with likely more to follow..

The original is open for collaboration and I still look forward to hear your beautiful vocals, trumpet, sax, percussion, lead guitar or whatever you think will fit best to the track. Make it a hip-hop rap, add your vocal angels, give it a different style or whatever you like :) and upload it to you profile. No need to ask me about it. I would very much like to hear your end version of course! :))

If you need a different mix for your production please let me know. I can send you a version without drums or with a lower guitar level. A non-mastered mix is available as well. BPM = 75.434(Spanish break is less tight).

Guys, enjoy the listens and/or make your own version and have fun with it :)

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 - 2016  - Mike Spring On Guitar (Feat. Heidi - Marie Arapa on Piano Accordion & Violin

A poignant and melancholy melody, an amazing Spanish guitar by Mike Spring (@mike-spring) inspired me to add two saxophones and a double bass (key). It was been pure fun. I hope some emotion will come to you by this track.
I want to thank Mike for giving me this opportunity.
Thank you for taking  time to listen

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade
By David Husted

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade Sun Drops    
Melting on an ocean's horizon   

I Wipe the mud from my knees
over madness
The windows are weeping as I lay dreaming 
Of stranded Islands
Empty and stripped clean


Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages 
Bubble gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

V2
Einstein and Heisenberg in parliament
Embers proliferating magic
Thriving through the time fields sucking information from the cosmos
Our very constitutions dust and water; 
Gold and oil on the alter now;  be a ghost to this chatter
Plot our lives in advance,……….     Of the rising sands

Ch
Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages now
Bubble  gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

Bridge

We will not Run
We will not run   

Ch 

The Chorus has a psychedelic vibe to it but with its own unique twists and turns.  I tried not to box myself into corners with my lyrics and used a very open ended process to my word smithing.  I felt know need to present you anything too "air-tight" in terms of story or arrangement.  This is what I love about song writing. I toss up ideas (the crazier the better) and see what happens.  Once I have a kaleidoscope of working pieces I gently mold them into forms that contain loose tendrils of cohesiveness and meaning but only just barely.  This is one of those song's I created with no preconceptions or creative borders and I just let my mind go where it wanted to.  Sometimes this works and sometimes it is a disaster.  In this case I arrived at something I liked enough to share with you.  

Never mind that Dave, what is the song about?  

It has something to do with the excruciating beauty of a sunrise.  It has something to do with love.  It has something to do with how quickly time moves forward.  It has something to do with how impermanent everything really is (including us).  It has something to do with how lucky we are to be the tiniest spark of a flame witnessing this miracle before us for the most minuscule parenthesis in time.  It has something to do with stepping out of my self imposed cage, and yet not running away and hiding.  It has something to do with staring this beautiful, wild catastrophe of existence right in the face and enjoying the ride.   Far Out Dude. Now go put your favorite tie dye shirt on, grab a cup a coffee and listen to my song : )!   Groovy Man…..Will Do!  

May your corners curve like lemonade.

Many Years

Many years - with Jacqueline Upperman

Here is a first pass on a riff that emerged on a newly built nylon-stringed acoustic guitar. More to come - but if it helps you create something - all the power to you!

An at-home recording of You’ll Never Walk Alone from the classic musical Carousel; this song has been on my heart this year. 

Dedicated to first responders in 2020 who have come to the aid of those suffering from Covid-19 and those affected by Hurricanes Laura & Sally. Thank you for being heroes among us; may you and your families be safe and well in these uncertain times. We are stronger together because of you. 

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

💙🎼🌟“Walk on, Walk on — With Hope in your Heart  — And You’ll Never Walk Alone.” 

*Sung by Stacie Eirich, soprano.
