This is a beautiful tune. Very easy on the ears. Great job!

Really enjoyed the guitar work on this; great song too!

Nice melody on the acoustic and the vocal delivers a uncertain tone which makes the lyrics moving . Good job 👍

i just discovered this title.. great song .  thanx for your support. i really like your sound my friend

Beautiful arpeggios and a lovely vocal melody!

Always a pleasure to listen to your songs, my friend. 💙🤍💖

Silence … like freedom in a cage 
mind wanders a gypsy, but you don’t know what to say. 
so, you cry (cry)… 
words just stay inside.
silence … in a quiet state of rage 
a civil war of feelings in a battle that you wage.
(where) no one wins.
no matter how you try.

GOD KNOW …you’d love to leave this world.
FLY AWAY and never to return.
BUT YOU KNOW …you’re not ready to be free.
You’re silent in a freedom …you can’t leave. 
Silent, like freedom in a cage

Silence Like Freedom In A Cage by Doug Roossien

With Pat's passing, I wanted to post this version of Ode with us doing a little brainstorming on the creation of the song. 
I witnessed a miracle--at least I would call it that.  A beloved rose that was a regular bloomer(pictured) fell victim to the incredibly harsh cold spell we had in February of 2021.  By April when the rest of the roses were waking up, this one had not a sign of life in it, just a brown stump.  I watered, and fed, and waited, and waited.  Nothing.  I dug out the stump.   For Mothers' Day my daughter had bought a rose to replace the one that had perished...or so I thought.  Within a week of planting the new one, the old one put out a shoot just a foot away.  I guess the digging, watering, etc for the new rose stimulated some remaining root of the old.  It has since received lots of love and care, and has at least a half-dozen buds ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.  So this is an ode; to a beloved rose and all things miraculous.  
Special thanks to Pat Howell for the initial inspiration and his fine musicianship and sweet additions with mandolin and octave.  Please check out his page for more fine music @patrick-howell-786748109

Ode To A Rose (with new intro and outro 7/23/23)

Chained And Bound

Once upon a time a little man
alone  and with no age
by dint of living at minimum.
He sold tobacco and chewing gums
always behind his counter , transparent, almost no one.
Then , when night comes, 
 in the land of chimeras
he re-writes his own story
then , in the softness of his sheets , he leaves real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

Once upon a time a beautiful lady 
who crossed her life with a certain melancholy
she had achieved her woman life 
but when children leave, sometimes, tears only remain 
Then , when night comes, 
 in the land of chimeras
she re-writes her own story
then , in the softness of her sheets , she leaves real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

This is eventually the very banal story 
of all those people living on their own
to whom we don't even give a look 

Then , when night comes, 
they want to believe that life is beautiful
that they can change the end of the story
eyes wide open , in the dark, they leave real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

Happy End

The Beginning of a project Im working on . https://youtu.be/IUbkgpMqXts
