Water running down my skin
Gentle, soft, a fuzzy joy within
Neon lights in synch with the beat of my feet
Smiling at my face in a puddle beneath me

The world looks so bright
I feel safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright

Walking down the windy streets
Say good-bye to all my defeats
What a crazy life this has been so far
Threw away the safety-pins but kept the jar

The world feels so brght, yeah
I am safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight
I won’t expedite this life, yeah

I can see it
I can see it in your eyes
Love, love, love
I can feel it
I can feel it in your smile
Feel it in your smile
The love, the love, the

The love

So glad
I feel safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight
I won’t expedite this life, yeah 

The world feels so bright
I am safe and whole tonight
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright
No reason to fight So glad you’re alright

This was my third collaborative song with Rodolfo, which we started in 2020. The original instrumental piece he gave me sounded like determined optimism and at that particular moment the pandemic made its way into anything I wrote although the beauty of the song is that anyone can bring their own interpretation to its meaning. Its original title was ‘Camino a Mañana’, that I translated as ‘The Route To Tomorrow’ - I guess I liked the alliteration - even though it was a bit of a tongue twister to sing.

I instantly loved the rhythmic punch of this track and recognised early on that it would require a punchy lyric and vocal. Initially I sung the harmony vocals that Rodolfo devised, but as we later developed into the band ‘Continental Collision’ it made sense to draw on all of the talent available in Ce and Gonza, and here introducing Cintia Galeano. Huge thanks to my wonderfully gifted collaborators, you helped make this song shine. I was stunned (as always) by Rodolfo’s attention to detail, his glorious guitar solos and particularly the drumming throughout. Although I might not add to the instrumentation personally, Rodolfo always encourages me to give him feedback. I am particularly fond of this collaboration and each time we work together I learn so much more. Hope you enjoy it too and many thanks for listening. 

Finding the way,
To get through night and day,
Is just too much.
Making your way
Once more through the fray,
Without losing touch,
Is too much,
For me, yeah.

Waiting in line, 
With no hint of a sign,
Is just too much.
Pretending I’m fine 
Knowing that you’re not mine,
It’s too, it’s just too much,
For me,
All of the time.

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

I’ll be OK, 
Whatever they say,
I can take it.
Know I can’t stay,
Gotta get me away
From here.
Before it gets too much for me, here.

I can survive,    
I might even just thrive.
If I make it.
I’m still alive,
Watch me as I arrive,
At the other side of all this pain and sorrow  

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

DRIFT-WOOD written and produced by Jim Manser 2021

lyrics
when you were here i didnt feel no fear
just a calm before the storm and an un-relenting tear
like the sleeping dogs who lie on the farm
or the people who wear the masks to ward away the harm
so unaware of the anger thats carried from with-in
its hard to find directions when your world is in a spin
you got to follow your heart and find the magic eye
you got to keep direction look up to the skys

way back when the world was a different place
we had the time and we had space
but now the pieces are washed up on a shore
we are the drifters fighting lonely wars

moments in life can still feel unreal
when i left the uk and headed to seville
wanna feel the sunlight on my face
sick and tired of drifting in an empty place
theres people and theres actions that never make much sense
they are frightened by the media just sitting on the fence
you got to remember this life is all you get
and everything around you is hanging on an edge

driftwood though a string of days
i left my childhood in a maze 
driftwood washed up on a shore 
all the things i cant ignore
driftwood took hold of my dreams in a field of fire ...but now it seems so far away

dedicated to all the free-thinkers and the people who really want to live free

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Lyrics: 

Pt.1
It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
I play no more the frontman
I’m better off serving you
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Went up to Mystic Mountain
Picked berries from the bush
So many I couldn’t count them 
Each one unveiled a truth
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the face that makes good everything

What rained upon the prophets
Same rain that drench me now
The old mantle I’ve not lost it
It’s on me like a vow
O let the water wash me clean
you’re the vision of a million magic dreams

Well there’s music in the alley
And sweet smoke in the air
No need for tinpot rallies
It’s safer here than there
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the sweetest note in every song I sing

It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
If I was the doorman
You would walk straight through
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Pt. 2
It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
steadfast I do not stray
Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
Faithful are the flock
The week spirited don’t obey 
Here me now
Accused of serving for your protection
Here me now  
and then you take it all away in objection
Here me now 
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

I know my redeemer liveth 
Dem take away and then dem giveth 
Lo! how dem adversity afflicteth 
Thou art most merciful of all and forgiveth 
Naked from the mother's womb
Naked shall I return there
Naked from the mother's womb
Faithful without demand I shall return there
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
Even though you took it all away
The devil covered up your tracks
Tempting to lead me astray 
Him covered up your tracks
But faith guides me back onto your way
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me to corruption
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me with deception
Here me now
Behold, the will of the Lord, that is wisdom
And to depart from evil is understanding
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Pt. 3
Babylon done a gonna flood now
Flooding down here in Babylon
Gonna sing jah jah praises
Dem praises gonna carry us home

Letra  /  Lyrics (Adaptation from a poem I wrote around my 15thBD)

SIEMPRE QUE TE VEO  /  WHENEVER I SEE YOU

Pasma al mirar tu serena  /  Astounds looking at your serene
faz y tu largo cabello,  /  face and your long hair,
y observar rostro tan bello,  /  and observe such a beautiful complexion,
más que asombrar, me enajena.  /  more than astonishing, it alienates me.
Cuando en mi oído resuena  /  When in my ear resonates
tu cálida voz, espero  /  your warm voice, I hope
girarme y verte, pues quiero  /  to turn around and see you, because I want
hacerte saber, mi amor  /  to let you know, my love
que te amo, y mi calor  /  that I love you, and my warmth
ofrecerte por entero.  /  offer to you completely.

Siempre que te veo, intento,  /  Whenever I see you, I try,
con mi mirada, expresarte  /  with my gaze, to express to you
que te quiero. Mi sustento  /  that I love you. My livelihood
es tu sonrisa, son tus ojos  /  is your smile, are your eyes
y tu cara de indecisa.  /  and your indecisive grin.
Si te miro, sonriendo,  /  If I look at you, smiling,
si te sigo, pues queriendo  /  if I follow you, as wanting
poseerte, tengo prisa.  /  to possess you, I’m in a hurry.

Quisiera mirarte, grácil,  /  I’d like to look at you, graceful,
bella y extraña cual hada.  /  beautiful and strange like a fairy.
Cual si no pasara nada,  /  As if nothing was happening,
mirarte, pero no es fácil.  /  to look at you, but it’s not easy.
Quisiera hacerlo con casi,  /  I’d like to do it with almost,
casi inhumano ardor,  /  almost inhuman ardour,
y contemplar con fervor  /  and watch with fervour
tus excitantes y sabios  /  your exciting and wise
pasos, y encender tus labios  /  steps, and turn on your lips
con tiernos besos de amor.  /  with tender kisses of love.

Siempre que te veo…  /  Whenever I see you...

I Get Found Out

With Soundcloud, music is so often created across the oceans, with musicians from around the world who have never met or spoken directly other than through this platform joining together.  Our new jazz fusion composition Across The Oceans pays tribute to these connections across oceans which have fostered such high quality of music, the sharing of regional influences, and true friendships.   
Joining me again are players from Germany, England, Spain and the US, who contribute their individual sounds, elevate and shape the music.  Our horn section was provided by two versatile instrumentalists - Georg Boehme on Baritone saxophone and Andy McLean on Tenor and Soprano saxes and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument).  Love the full sound they get together and also the interplay between the two musicians.  Our featured guitarist is Stephan Lipinski, who weaves his fine solo to connect the oceans between Europe and North America.  Spanish percussionist Sergio Parraga provides the underlying churning rhythm complement to further bridge our two continents.
Follow these fine musicians if you are not already doing so:  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

Beautiful People

VERSE 1
Your all I need right now, come on give it to me,
watch me shake it on the floor for ya sexually, 
pull me close, touch my body, press your lips on mine,
Kiss me soft, Close your eyes, let the planets align,  
Feel the energy between us as we dance in the dark
You got me burning up,  igniting a spark                               
Temperatures rising, take me up to the top
I’m so hot, I can’t breath, I don’t want you to stop,           
Run your hand right up my thigh, kiss me on the neck,
Grab me by the waist,  keep making me sweat,
You got me so hot, come on boy make a move
give me what I need, you got nothing to lose,             
Let me show you how to do it, move around to the beat,
Keep grindin’ all night, I wanna feel the heat,
Tease me with your touch, so gentle and smooth…. 
And do it to me right now, that little thing that you do…

HOOK:
Shake your body for me, let me see you get down,
Bounce your  booty to the beat, move to the sound,
Don’t you know what you do to me, You Make me so hot that I can’t breathe 
Come on baby your all I need , right now…..

VERSE 2
Turn the music up yeah were setting the mood
wrap me up in your arms, make me feel good,
I like the way you do it, get closer to me,
I need someone like you, baby come set me free,
You raise me up when I’m with you, I feel like I can fly,
you swept me of my feet, now I'm touching the sky,
You Got me so hot, can't find the words to describe,
The sensations, The vibrations, I get deep down inside,
When I'm alone in my bed, I dream of you in night,
can't get enough of what you do cause you do it just right,
The way you put it on me, looking me in the eyes,
grinding up against me, grabbing me by the thighs,
Your my obsession, got me sweating, when you turn up the heat,
It's crazy, I can’t take it, when your not here with me,
so come on boy don't be shy, I've been waiting for you,
to do it to me right now, that little thing that you do.

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away
