Great ambient vocals & sounds. Just what I needed

Beating wing, through the ash
Trying hard, like it wont last

Why does this You-n-I-verse allow the Best of Us to Age and Crumble when they have given us so much and asked for so little in return?

True Superheroes should live forever, g-dammit.

LYRICS

After the first, Scared shadow of a man
stares at me 
and says “I see myself, son’s eyes scream everything”

Then he says,

“Not so long ago, I’m in your place, 
glare at own dad’s face
and hear myself, Confused and questioning”

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light
and pray to fade through to the black?

He struggles to explain, 
but thought and memory soar free 
from a plaintive self
the strain so deafening

In this fluorescent silence 
a gap of decades 
and five feet separate our selves
why can’t I say anything?

Awkward moments, statements slur together, 
can’t even sense if he is still himself
where is the one who for years kept us glued together?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
Where is that strength when he needs it to live
Why does world take from one who only knows how to give?

***

Second time worse, three days and nights in straps and drips, 
full-intubated self
scared, darting eyes that don’t see anything

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light 
and pray to fade through to the black?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
where is that strength when he needs it the most
how do I stop a soul from leaving its fraying host?

Automatic Karma Situation

The Old Water Wheel

Here's a very tentative new thing. 
This piano version is more stately and atmospheric while the alternate demo version is more fun and probably catchier. Both versions have their charms - we'd be really interested to hear which version people prefer!

You can hear the very different demo version here ---->> https://soundcloud.com/cat-came-back/clay-boombox-demo-version

You won’t hear me ask you if it’s right
I know what it’s like the other side
You won’t see me kiss the day goodnight
I will meet you only in the light

No more losing ground
Not for us
Not this time around
Take in everyone
That we can

She was trying to guide it to her dream
The clay was unaccustomed to her hands
She had yet to find the surest way
To make perfection from the falling clay

She was just trying to make good things come true
With parts and pieces bending upside down
He just knew he’s found the surest way
To keep from getting caught in falling clay

Clay (Piano Version)

Recombinant version of a tune from happier days......

Have I Told You Lately

Lyrics:
They say smiling hides pain
But what really hides the pain
Is going through the motions 
With no expression
I'm standing here  in limbo
One day it’s acceptance then it’s back to depression
But I don’t need anyone to worry
As long as I have some time left
How could I be in any kind of hurry?

A little forward motion never hurt anyone
I have my days when my heart's not breaking
I know I have more to come
A little forward motion never hurt anyone
We can make it out of this
We’re staying ‘cause we’re far from done

Do I really want to come in here?
There is a song I just can’t sing
‘Cause it’s too much about the last year.
It’s a good crowd on a Wednesday
The place is clean and vented
I really shouldn't be feeling the fear

But I have to lay low again
But I've been working on some fresh tunes
That I finally get to share with my friends

A little forward motion never hurt anyone
Baby stepping through the setbacks
Relearning how to have fun
A little forward motion never hurt anyone
We can make it out of this
We’re staying ‘cause we’re far from done

A Little Forward Motion

LYRIC

In happier days
I can’t remember when
But happier days
Than those we’re living in
You could enjoy the delusion 
Progress would bless our lives

Now here we are
Bitten by the bytes
And all of this awfulness thrives
 
A man of my years' seen things
He knows what tomorrow brings
Is another today
To piddle away
And though disillusion stings
A man of my years still sings his heart out

My last birthday wish
I asked to be ignored
But granting me this
The world could not afford
It had to be firing off rockets
Singing a children’s song off key
You see
A man of my years is done
Pretending he’s having fun 
If he feels it he laughs
If not he asks
Would it bother anyone 
If a man of my years should run and hide
While a shred of pride remains 

A slice of cake I’ll handle
Please don’t light that candle
My age in the icing
Is that meant to be a nice thing?
You tell me to blow now
But I will not
I have got to go now

I promise you this
I’ll make no promises
You’ll say I just did
But that’s not what this is
I’m merely aware of my standing
I’ve got to get off my feet

There’s kids on the lawn
I could shout at them
Instead I just yawn and repeat

A man of my years sits back
with a cold drink and salty snack
His work is long done
He’s had enough fun
Now he wants to relax
After laughter and tears
All the hurrahs and jeers
I’m a man of my years!

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
