THE MORE II HEAR THIS SONG THE MORE I REALLY LIKE IT GREAT SINGING AND MUSIC PAT

Many of us have friends that been passing away too early. This one is dedicated to one of my old mates.

If I could have just one wish
l tell you what it would be
I'd bring back an old friend of mine
to spend the day with me
He passed away, way to soon
and it's hard to understand
I've asked the Lord but I still wonder why
the angels had to bring him home 
so suddenly

Tell me why... the good die young?
Tell me why... the good die young?
I wanna know

Together we had so much fun
We were always on the run
I remember the way he'd comfort me
when I was feeling down
I just can't help I sometimes cry
when I'm thinking of the days gone by
But life goes on and I just got to be strong
'cause there ain't no other way
no other way

Tell me why... the good die young?
Tell me why... the good die young?
I wanna know

I had a track called "Drops" by then, I kept going back to it and was never satisfied with the changes I did to improve certain parts in it I took the scissor and CUT.., So yes, not a true metamorphosis but close enough ...,  :) ! Hope you enjoy anyway

Metamorphosis, Birth Of A Butterfly

I have the pleasure of sharing with you a beautiful piece composed by Enrico Russo for his granddaughter.... he asked me to play this piece and re-arrange whatever I thought would be better....I did change notes in the beginning of the piece, but left most of the middle bit nearly as it was, as I thought he had done a beautiful work.....
I hope you will enjoy listening, as much as I have playing it....
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone here on SC a blessed and Merry Christmas, and my warmest wishes for the New Year....

Canto d'amore per Amélie

This is the first ambient song I do with the exceptional guitarist Maneli Jamal; a project that emerged many months ago and that has been simmering; Maneli has distilled his art with several guitars over my base of strings, pads and pianos in a track that I can't get enough of listening to. Mixed by the musician and sound engineer Pouya Hamidi in Canada, and distributed with Soothe Sounds

Solo Piano - Chris Bright

i am here now - 1:20:24, 9.00 PM

On this stage, I tread with silent dread,
Words like shadows, fall from a script so dead.
A play of dark lies, my well-rehearsed sorrow,
Masking the emptiness, I'm forced to borrow.

This shell is just an advertisement
For a soul that I don't have.
A façade so brittle, so frail,
Under your gaze, I cannot unveil.

Fear grips my voice, as truths dare to breach,
Hiding behind smiles I was never meant to reach.
An act so weary, yet diligently played,
Fearing your judgment, I stay dismayed.

This shell is just an advertisement
For a soul that I don't have.
A façade so brittle, so frail,
Under your gaze, I cannot unveil.

In the mirror, the tears I script,
Seek your pity as their perfect crypt.
Yet each droplet, a thief in disguise,
Stealing glances, wearing my lies.

Each step, each word, meticulously traced,
In the drama of falsehoods, my truth encased.
Listening for laughter, listening for tears,
An audience of one, confirming my fears.

This shell is just an advertisement
For a soul that I don't have.
A façade so brittle, so frail,
Under your gaze, I cannot unveil.

A Thief in Disguise

A Thief In Disguise

This fun little song was commissioned by Mary Grimm for her husband Ernie. For those of you who don't know Ernie, he is a fun loving tenor who I have had the privilege of accompanying on many occasions. He does a mean Besa Me Mucho! I tried to capture him in musical form to the best of my ability. It will appear on my upcoming Flamencolele album, for more info check out Flamencolele.com. Hope you like it:-)

Embrace the Silence

For We Are All Now

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
