Beautiful, gentle etude. The chord progressions are reminiscent of Bach :)

Better Smile 

Well I've doom scrolled enough 
I'm heading out into the sun 
Gonna smile along with the world 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 

Did the best I could 
With the headwinds cutting me off 
And though I know I should 
I'm still not giving it up 
I'm still not giving it up 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile 

Time to wear the crown 
I forgot I even had 
Got to re-stoke the fire 
Start it all over again 
Start it all over again 

Done some sketchy things 
I know I'm gonna pay 
But I've done some good 
A little more every day 
A little more every day 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile

A message from Lyrical Smirk:

“I’d really love to shine some positive light and fresh air in this lil’ community of friendships. So here's the concept. It is, basically, ‘One Big Collaboration’. Anyone who’d like to join in just needs to send Gary a message to the Mountain Songs page and include one downloadable track. He'll do the rest. 
Would prefer original material, ideally not stuff that's already been remixed.
Each and everyone who joins gets credited for their work / efforts.
Newbies / Amateurs / Pro's, it doesn't matter, ALL can join. This really does include everyone…non-musicians & ‘listeners’ very welcome. 
Every Soundclouder can pick one track of their own which they want remixed. Don't be intimidated by other Soundclouders work. Remember, this is designed to be a fun project and the positive vibe is what counts.
What styles? It doesn't really matter as long as it's easy on the ears!"

ABSTRACT SUNRISE

This acoustic guitar duo piece I wrote a while back just after visiting the Canary Islands. Now with the really warm days of the year arriving I felt the same mood coming over me as in those days on the island. So, I finished the mix and master to release it now! I hope it brings you the same summer vibe as it does for me.

The track is loosely based on a Rumba Flamenca, a palo or style of flamenco from Andalusia, Spain, however influenced by the Cuban music's version traveling back to the origin of Spain, after it's popularity in Havana's musical theatre. During the late 20th century, Paco de Lucía, together with percussionist Rubem Dantas, incorporated Afro-Peruvian musical elements such as the cajón (wooden box) and certain rhythms. That's where I came to know the style.

As always I really enjoy your comments, likes and shares! -Dan

Lyrics by Liz Petty
Music by Kate Stanton

V1 
a tender heart 
under thin skin 
allows 
fragile love 
to unfold 
to begin 

like before 
it could 
falter 
and end 

it could 
hurt deep… 
hurt deep 
within 

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe… 

that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend? 

V2 
a growing flame 
between friends 
allows 
deeper love 
to evolve 
to sink in 

like before 
it could 
happen 
again 

it could 
blossom… 
blossom 
within 

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe… 

that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend? 

B 
I’m timid 
I’m afraid 
sometimes 
I want to 
run away 

I want to 
feel safe 

I’m wishful 
I’m enthralled 
sometimes 
I want to 
love strong 

I want to 
have it all 

how can 
I know? 
oh … 
how can 
I know?

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe 
that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend?

How Can I Know? (Feat. lyrics by Liz Petty)

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Wonderful poetry and arrangements by Wivresse on one of my tracks !

Lyrics:
Far from the great snake
The sighs compete with the Zephir
In the honeyed heart of feminine flames
This intimate mead
summon ecstasy
And flowering fertility among the dunes
in obscene dances
in creative cries
in flesh water
sassy libations
for explosion of life
in honor of Derketo
We are all on our knees,
on all fours,
Her sacred milk to our lips
in obscene dances
Canticle of canticles
for Derketo

In the enchanting scene of a moonlit night, a young girl immerses herself in the pages of a mystical book, weaving her vivid imagination into a whimsical tale that conjures up playful, skeletal apparitions.

Set to a lighthearted triple-time signature, the piano guides the melody, lending a delightful charm to the composition. Complementing this whimsical journey, the glockenspiel and synthesizer mallet harmoniously dance together, evoking the amusing and endearing image of comical skeletons.

Out of Words

UK Composer Alex Rimes wrote Etude in F Major in August 2020.  This is Premiere!
Etude in E Flat Major - the first in a set of 24 Neoclassical Etudes for the intermediate player - is a modern take on Bach. 
Alex about her work: "The subtitle of the piece is "Into the Rose-Garden"- a reference to T.S. Elliot's poem 'Burnt Norton'; I wrote this piece during a time of profound heartache, with Elliot's enigmatic words continually running through my mind: "footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage which we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose-garden". This piece is a contemplation of what might have been, if things had worked out differently. "


We are so pleased to announce that after several requests the sheet music for the Etude in E Flat is now available to buy as a PDF download from the website : https://www.alexrimes.com/
