Four Line Poem

Written and Performed by Nicholas DaSilva 2017

Dust Bowl Blues

New Song, demo recording. Chack back for the full-band version from Peace Beneath the City

All I see are the erd spotted leaves
The red spotted leaves

All I know is that I wanted to go
I wanted to go

All I see is the bright blue sea
The bright blue sea

Smoking guns but they ain't on the run
They ain't on the run

Hear the band play to those in the park
It makes me wonder why I'm in the dark
Are you here for me?
Are you here for me?

All I see is the bright blue sea
The bright blue sea

Smoking guns but they ain't on the run
They ain't on the run

Here the band plays to those in the park
It makes me wonder why I'm in the dark
Are you here for me?
Are you here for me?

Talk About That Weather

2019
Written, performed, mixed by Nick DaSilva

Note: Wrote this after watching the Dark Crystal for the first time in a long time. Great movie. Recorded on a Tascam DP008 - used the Juno DI keyboard for some of the background layers and also the bells. Focus was to create a working 5-part harmony piece.

Lyrics:
Time has passed now I'm the last one waiting for my time
Try to find my way, I don't know where to go
Tried to find my way, I don't know where to go

Passing Time

2019
Written, performed, mixed by Nick DaSilva

Note:  Recorded on a Tascam DP008. Although this model recorded is only 8 tracks, I bounced some multiple tracks to a single track to get a total of 12 working tracks. It was my first time attempting this technique and I think I just fell in love. Specifically, the arrangement except for the left channel guitar trio in the middle, was bounced down from 6 tracks to 2 - a split into 3's to get a unique left and right channel. The remaining 6 tracks were used for vocals and the guitar trio.

Lyrics:
Down the red hall I found you
With a coat in your hand
Wash away all of the colors
Can we stop the path and Dream without a care

On the side of a mountain
The snow it covers your hand
Paint in all of the colors
Can we stop the path and Dream without a care

Beneath the ocean I found you
With the rain in your hand
Dark and blue all around us
Can we stop the path and Dream without a care

Dreaming Without a Care
