Began as an exercise but I think it's worked out reasonably OK (represents progress for me anyway). It's quite long (sorry) - I tried to shorten it but couldn't really. Also tagging as classical may be pushing it a bit but is probably closest - or maybe should be soundtrack? Don't know.

Many thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein for his encouragement with this track.

IPG1 - Let It Sink In (AudioBake Mix)

Dear friends - a little song about life:

Joy

You must believe me when I tell You that childrens breasts
are filled with joy - in the morning
when they see their mom and probably when they see their dad
it’s remarkable that children always love their folks
whatever they have done - their love is huge

Have You seen when a newborn little child
open their eyes  -  to meet their mom
and their lips start to move in the direction to a little smile 
it’s remarkable that children always love their folks
whatever they have done - their love is huge

And what about the father who stands besides
he is so dazed by this great event
and he nearly faints when the child also smiles to him
it’s remarkable that children always love their folks
whatever they have done - their love is huge

Approximate translation into Swedish

Glädje

Du måste tro mig när jag berättar att barns bröst
är fyllda av glädje - på morgonen
när de ser sin mamma och förmodligen när de ser sin pappa
det är anmärkningsvärt att barn alltid älskar sina föräldrar
vad de än har gjort - deras kärlek är enorm

Har du sett när ett nyfött litet barn
öppna ögonen - för att träffa sin mamma
och deras läppar börjar röra sig i riktning mot ett litet leende
det är anmärkningsvärt att barn alltid älskar sina föräldrar
vad de än har gjort - deras kärlek är enorm

Och hur är det med pappan som står vid sidan av
han är så omtumlad av denna stora händelse
och han svimmar nästan när barnet också ler mot honom
det är anmärkningsvärt att barn alltid älskar sina föräldrar
vad de än har gjort - deras kärlek är enorm

The Needle And The Damage Done

S-Ash Wednesday

The discreet ceremony of life changes and growth, a quiet conversation 

She's leaning forward absently
searching like she's drifting 
so she can speak to me
why spread my blossom neath a cloudy sky
(petals wet and dripping)
in places where my hips grow wide
where the earth is cleaved and ripped aside
the solid rush as such...
she whispers of her first bed hush
the secret of her bloom 
the unveiling of new moons
with her breath against my ear
she quivers in her fear
searching like she's drifting as she speaks to me
when the moon subsides
I will shake these petals dry
while my curves enjoy new spaces
in the places they grow wide
a faded blush as such 
echoes of her first bed hush
yea
I can feel her touch
lips parted near
warm and soft across the years
the perfume of her speech drifting absently
so she could speak to me
the unveiling of new moons
the secret hush of blooms

Secret Hush

Based on the beautiful song written by Jim McGill @user-253908889 - cover

Interlude M0844

God is moving the furniture upstairs.

Eclectic Collective:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
Surfers like Us - Artur - songwriting, rhythm guitar

This is a song that I passed on to my friend Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series. Cowabunga!

The One (w/Eclectic Collective)

searching, dreaming, hoping, longing... our human emotional repertoire provides the most wonderful content for music – which might be the collective term for stories written by our hearts and whose narration always follows a special heartbeat. 

so, there's a song I wrote years ago with lyrics already in 'my english', when our sons became teenagers, and I remembered my own emotional world at that age. full of magnificent melancholy and powerful heartbreak. what a privilege it is to be able to focus on such problems and pains in your youth, instead of being crushed by a futureless reality. 

as always, there was only one version of this song for years, with the vocal melody played on the guitar. and as always too, it wasn't that easy to drill the template into my AI persona in such a way that the feelings still came across.

Trance-like walking 
Faint lullaby
Naming the stars 
From an endless sky

But I can't find 
The one in my mind

I just imagined 
You would be here 
Ghostly companion
As far as near

Although I know 
It won't be so

I will always wait 
For you 
Always dreaming you’ll 
Come true 
One night
One night

Dreams to an unknown
Somewhere beyond
Breathing your air’s
All that I want

I will always wait 
For you 
Always dreaming you’ll 
Come true 
One night
One night
It might be right

I will
Wait
My fate
Wait
No Fade
Wait
For who?
