Very nice! Love how the melody blends with the harmony.

your pinky must be on fire after that one

This is beautiful. I think I'll have at crack at adding some vocals to it. Hope I don't ruin it!

OK here's my attempt at adding some vocals: https://soundcloud.com/juxtamusic/goodbye-collaboration-with-mike-spring

I missed this....wonderful melody and playing Mike.

While on the NASA website I found an image of Olympus Mons from the Viking 1 Orbiter which gave me the idea for this song.  Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in our solar system, over 25 miles high from it's base to it's summit. The base is as large an area as the state of Arizona. 

I have included into this number recordings from Mars by the Perseverance rover. These recordings include the Ingenuity helicopter on April 30, 2021 as it flew on Mars for the fourth time, sounds of the Perseverance rover driving on Mars, the Perseverance rover as it laser zaps a Mars rock and wind sounds on Mars.

Special thanks to Kate Nord for the wonderful vocals on the track.

The Ugliest Unicorn (Prediciendo Ayer)

It’s about becoming  the person you wanna be .

The artwork was a photo taken by Noobly in October 1982 on the 20th anniversary of the release of “Love Me Do”. The original Cavern Club being demolished to build a ventilation shaft (that was never actually needed/built).

The new Cavern has stepped out the Ashes on the same site and a visit is highly recommended.

Step Out The Ashes ~ Conscience of Kings featuring Gaz & Noobly

This is an edited version of a 5 year old song of mine. The region I live in once grew through coal and steel. The workers in the steel mills have a tough and sweaty job. Blacksmiths have completed the material. This powerful rock track is dedicated to them. The hammer blow on the anvil sets the rhythm.

Dairv took this song to new heights...he made it his own.

Do You Love Me
I wrote this song back in early December.  I have sat on it since then trying to decide if I liked it enough to publish it.  I am still not sure if it deserves the light of day.  I like the chorus.  But the verse doesn't have the quality feel I desire.  Let me know.  Should I have tossed this song?

Lyrics:  Do You Love Me

Intro:
Do You Love Me

Verse 1:
You loved me once
I was not a dunce
And I still love you
And I am not blue

Sometimes I have my doubts
Days with ins and out
But maybe it’s all me
Trying not to flee

Chorus:
I am a small man
And I have my clan

Verse 2:
I am not a leader
But I am a good breeder
Just a regular guy
Who will look you in the eye

Living a normal life
With you I hope my wife
Full of insecurity
Nothing is a surety

Verse 3:
I have some confidence 
I can hold a conference
All mixed together
Sometimes light like a feather

Not sure where I stand
But when called, I can command
I can lead those in need
and help those who need freed

Outro:
Do You Love Me

Do You Love Me

Goodbye

My first track of the year in 2020; I had no idea how prophetic it would be.  We all lost loved ones or know someone whose loved ones perished in the pandemic (still ongoing) and the heart's cry was to have "one more day" to say what needed to be said, to give them a hug or a kiss, share a laugh or a tear; to give them a fond and fitting farewell.  Annie @annie-smart-1 added a lovely vocal and piano part to this song that lifts it to another level.

For One More Day (instrumental version)

Netherlands based singer-songwriter/guitarist/composer/sound engineer.
headphones recommended

Goodbye
