I like where it goes and stays. lots of potential. guitar wise had me thinking of John Martyn. slightly menacing and always interesting

Recorded by the sunday jam
On 11-3-24
At Gman Studios and Rhode Island Red Hatchery 
Photo:  Pale Blue Dot taken by Voyager space probe.  That pale blue dot is Earth. Carl Sagan wrote a great observation about this photo.

roller coaster 

We will all stop 
At the top
Of our roller coaster 
We all wonder what
The tipping will be like 
Like raw fear
Off the ledge plunging 
Into a whisper 
We all wonder what
Forever will be like

So
Please don’t waste another tear
Mourning each day’s passing 
Don’t let fear rule your life
Get back on that horse
And ride it even faster

And give thanks and praise 
In your own ways
For the promise of another 
New borne day

We will all stop
At the top
Of our roller coaster 
We all wonder what
The tipping will be like
A memory long forgotten 
Lies in an old photograph 
We all wonder what
Forever will be like

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Regret

This is my final instrumental mix but I think I will develop it into a full song.

LYRICS
I dreamed someone was waiting
On the platform when I got there
I rubbed some dirt from off my shoes
Put a comb through my hair

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

I looked around but nothing had changed
It was the same
No cheering crowds no shaken hands
No hero's back again

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Instrumental

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Outro

The Hero's Return

"A Quiet Room" is played on a Jeff Bamburg FSC guitar. Carpathian Spruce/Macassar Ebony, DADGAD tuning. A short tune which gradually "earned" its title as I made my way through composing this piece. Recorded Feb/2025. Thanks to all who might have a listen to this new track!

Lyrics:
Some people say these are the best of times, Other people say times are bad.  But don’t you know it’s always a good time when you’re around.
You always have something good to say, even on the most miserable day.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud


Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

Some people say this town has seen better days
 but everything looks good to me
Cause don’t you know that when you’re by my side, that’s the only place I want to be.  
Every time I see your beautiful face, I know I’m living in the right place

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud

Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud
You make me turn up the music, Turn up the music, Turn up the music play it loud.

Guitar (Taylor 114ce) 2 tracks (1 strumming and 1 picking) (played by me)

The Work

Magie der Einfachheit
… hat sich innerhalb einer Stunde am Morgen des 29.04.25 entwickelt.
Eine sehr einfache Struktur, die gespielt relativ komplex wirkt.
Nun fast fehlerfrei im gewünschten Tempo aufgenommen. 

Vielleicht gefällt es euch …
