Nice songwriting! Your voice is dynamic and beautiful! I love it!

Wow! Love this, your voice fits perfectly in so many styles. This vibe is awesome.

lovely country song with great lyrics and vocal delivery

Such a powerful work. As always, your performance is absolutely great, Nadia!

This is very good, the mix is spot on and it sounds different enough from the mainstream to be interesting. Wonderful voice. :)

Lyrics :

Walk down the road tonight with me 
I swear all my love that I won’t hold you back, next to me honey 
‘Cause I love you 
Please lie with me again tonight 
Please, lie with me again
Please stay 
One minute more with me  my love 
Watch the stars your naked body next to mine
Yeah I swear all my lovin’ 
That I won’t hold you back 
Please stay 
One minute more

Ahah
Ahah

Please stay 
Please stay a little bit more
one hour , one day, just please stay

Lie with me again 

Stay just one minute more 

I swear , all my love that I won’t hold you back 
But please……….. 
stay one minute more 

Give me one minute more
It’s becoming annoying 
I would like just to know that to do And what to say 
Come on please  tell me just stay 

What have I gotta do 
What have I gotta do
For you to stay one minute more next to me 
I ‘m 'bout to bend on my knees and cry your name OH 
That’s not for me you know me 
I won’t 
I won’t you’re not ok I get it don’t stay just go away

I published a vocal version of this a while back, but originally I had intended this to be instrumental only. Turns out I listen to this a bit so I thought maybe there are some listeners out there that might enjoy it too.

TwentyFirstCenturyMedievalWorld

Yea I know it’s  better
Than it’s ever been before
With all the technobabble things
That we all vie for 
Like wi-fi and internet
Uber this and google that
And here’s one thing you can’t forget      
We’re still
Yes we’re still 
In a twenty first century medieval world
A twenty first century medieval world

Annexation 
The red pill or the blue pill
God save the King
Oh Buck Rogers

Apathy is a catastrophe
That plagues our society
Acceptance and obedience
Feeds the endless greed
Like billionaires with rocket ships
Carrots hanging from a stick
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
Yes we’re still 
In a twenty first century medieval world
A twenty first century medieval world

Solo

Ahh…

Genuflection
Masters of the Universe
By the grace of God
Does my head in

One generation to the next
Ad nauseam
begone you old bad habits
So we carry on
To live a life without the threat
Of crazy wars or massive debt
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
Yes we’re still 
In a twenty first century medieval world
A twenty first century medieval world
A twenty first century med-ie-val-world

LYRICS:
The king said to the pauper 
How I wish I was like you 
Then I would not have to worry about 
The things a king must do

The pauper smiled and said well
I suppose that must be so
But some would say that being a king
Beats begging in the snow

The king looked to the distance
Said I see your point of view
But you must know that being a king 
Can be a burden too

The pauper nodded gently 
Said, I’m sorry for your pain
But some would rather bear that burden
Than be homeless in the rain

The king said to the pauper
Tell me what are we to do
It seems to me that I could learn
A thing or two from you

The pauper thought a while and said 
It might seem I've nothing to lose
But we might hear a different story 
From a man who has no shoes

The two men bid farewell 
To their different lives returned
And some will ask what happens 
When the page gets turned 

When the stars all realign
What will tomorrow bring
Is the king become a pauper
Or the pauper now a king?

The anticipation - the standoff - the requiem 

A favorite movie of mine from my younger days is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" famously ending in a Mexican Standoff between Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Directed by Sergio Leone with music by Ennio Morricone I recommend this spaghetti western to anybody who hasn't seen it.  On a whim I thought I would perform a musical reenactment, although in my version there are no survivors.

The experimental part of this has to do with the reverb on the drums in the "shootout" to simulate gunshots.

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger everyone's demise. At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. [Wikipedia]

Mexican Standoff

I was a bike messenger. It never leaves you.
