Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics:

Love me like I'm leavin'
Because we both know I am
And I will love you back
With all the love that you can stand
Hold me like I'm screamin'
Even though there is no sound
For fear is sometimes silent
And often quite unfound

But I, I need you anyway
And I cry, when you can't stay
That's when I, need you so close
To tell me, it'll all be okay

See me as if I'm here
Although my figure's faint
But Baby please don't stare
When all my blood spills out like paint
The art we could've made
If we weren't so afraid to be
The parts we could've played
If we weren't hung up on bein' free

Still I, need you every day
And I lie, every time I run away
That's when I, I need you the most
To tell me, it'll all be okay

Even though
We both know
I must be on
My way

You're my inspiration
The one I love the most
Don't bother waitin' for explanation
I'm already headed for the coast

Musician, Songwriter, Recording, Mixing, Mastering, Producer and general noise maker.   If you don't get that..that's on you!  

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!

"GOD SPEED" out NOW
https://jaywalkerblack.bandcamp.com/album/god-speed

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Sometimes this life feels like a movie...so I guess the music I make is my personal soundtrack to it...Hope you enjoy...
