Ambience (2004, 2025) – Listen to the sound of the waves
Drift away into another world by listening to soothing melodies and tranquil rhythms. Ambience is a peaceful escape or a soundtrack for introspection. Can you hear the sound of the waves?

"Fire and Rain" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter James Taylor, released in August 1970 by Warner Bros. Records as the second single from Taylor's second studio album, Sweet Baby James. The song follows Taylor's reaction to the suicide of Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend, and his experiences with drug addiction and fame. After its release, "Fire and Rain" peaked at number two on RPM's Canada Top Singles chart and at number three on the Billboard Hot 100."                    Wikipedia

"Paul McCartney mentored Taylor's early career; The story behind his second album, Sweet Baby James, which contained the song "Fire and Rain" about the hopelessness of mental illness and suicide; As Taylor's fame increased, so did his problems with heroin, alcohol, and mental illness."  Fire and Rain The James Taylor Story
As an Occupational Therapist I worked in the field of mental health for about 40 years. I have also lives with anxiety my entire life which poorly led me in that career path. I have seen the devastation of mental illness and addiction in terms of what it does to the individual and family. Good for James that he found a path to recovery.

Fire and Rain-James Taylor(Cover)

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care. 
James
Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)
