This song is about losing my wonderful big brother when I was a young man. He bought me 'The White Fender Strat' and said quietly through his smile "No excuses now...". Thanks forever bro, this is for you as always.

SMOKE

Growing up, looking up
I have never had my toast buttered on both sides
I started crying the day 
I watched my father clearing the overgrown weeds at the top of the garden and realised 
And realised
That wasn’t what he was doing
Ooh no

It was a still day 
So still
It was a still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
And another
Five years

There was a silence 
Where my beautiful dead brother still lived between us 
And that quietness wasn’t burned with the weeds

It was a still day
It was a still life 
So still
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
Another
Five years

Digging the sod in Donegal 
Praying for muscle, bunched like a ball 
Sweat and pride loved standing tall 
Anticipating 
Eye-watering 
Peat-stove fire 
That would 
Warm 
Cook 
And flavour our bones

It was a still day 
Still day
It was a still life 
Still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes

Another
Five years
And another
Five years...

Five years
Tick tock
Five years
My father lost his sense of smell and his pulse in cenotaph central heating
Five years
And my orphaned senses 
Five years
Still feel that fire

And smell that smoke...

Not sure where these song ideas often come from? Music, Lyrics or both?Sometimes hard to create and other times they just run over me like a Steam Roller. Anyway, musings of someone just 'Letting Go'. Who knows? Vocals, guitars, all instruments and production by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records - 3B Productions.

Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2022
I’m basking in Nothingness
I’m pushing through time and space
Not sure where I’m going
Not sure of my place
Such self importance
It’s merely contrived
One day we‘ll wake up
Wondering how we survived
With love in my heart
And a most confused mind
It tears me apart
To feel so unkind
So steady my path, Lord
Tame all my dreams
Show me the way 
To untwist my schemes
May I become better
In all I pursue
For I mean no harm
I simply love you

I’d like to dedicate this song to Aida Kaly from Kazakhstan. I’ve met a lot of talented singers, musicians and composers on Soundcloud and she is certainly one of them. She sings in 3 different languages - English, French and Russian. Check out her sounds.



Rock ‘n Roll Queen

She said she wanted to be part of the band
she said she wanted to be part of the band
I said “okay babes are you any good with your hands.”

She said she wanted to be a Rock ‘n Roll Queen
she said she wanted to be a part of the scene
I said “ I know what you mean they’re far ‘n few between.

Rock - Rock - Rock - Rock ‘n Roll.

She said “there’s a bee in my bonnet would you like to pluck it?”
She said “there’s a bee in my bonnet Daddy would you
like to pluck it?”
I said “ Thanks Babes for letting me get my kicks.”

She said she wanted to be a Rock ‘n Roll Queen
she said she wanted to be a part of the scene
I said “I know what you mean they’re far ‘n few between.”
Rock - Rock - Rock - Rock ‘n Roll
Rock - Rock - Rock - Rock ‘n Roll.

Lyle Lovette- four Grammy awards.  It is kinda hard to put him in any particular category  Such a great singer, songwriter and performer.  I got to see him a few years ago.  I love his music along with his pals John Hiatt and Guy Clark.

In My Own Mind

No one can Challenge Sir Pauls voice but love the song. A tribute to my idols . These days I record mostly originals but found this in my library and thought I'd share .

'So Long'
written and performed by Kym Turnbull aka Bluebird
produced by Richard Brown

Lyrics:

I know your sad cause i'm sad too
We all get sad it's what we do

Time spent wasted the whole way through
Time spent chasing what we lose

If you become a better man I'll be beside you
If you make up a better plan we'll see it through

So long to yesterday and all the plans we made
Now that you've been away so long                       x2

I know your mad cause I'm mad too
we all get mad It's what we do

Time spent wasted the whole way through
Time spent chasing what we lose

So long to yesterday...

Would you take it if you thought that you could make it?    x4

So Long

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics

Bio
In 2007 at age 63 Montrealer Peter Wheeler bought his first guitar. He then went to amazon.com and purchased a book called “How To Play The Guitar for Dummies”. Since then he hasn’t looked back. 

Sometimes serious - sometimes humorous Wheeler’s music seeks to re-capture the Classic Vibes  from the 70’s & 80’s. To best describe his music imagine Bob Dylan & The Doors meet The Clash & Leonard Cohen at the Hotel California & share a bottle of wine with Tarantino. Peter Wheeler is a poet - focusing all his energies into creating musical canvases to express his personal vision of the world surrounding him. 

For several years Peter was part of the local bar scene in the Greater Montreal area.  He performed as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Rock Roulette Band. His experiences giving live performances and continually improving his guitar playing has truly shown that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

In 2020 Peter teamed up with Johnny Vienneau, a multi- talented musician and Producer from Montreal and recorded his first album of cover songs called "Self Portrait".  https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/sets/self-portrait-1

Prior to embarking on his musical odyssey Peter's main passion was painting having had several major exhibitions and loyal patrons. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=a.46081025804&type=3    

Today Peter continues to pursue his passion for The Arts by doing portraits of friends, family and people he greatly admires. In 2021 he became a re-born again environmentalist and his songwriting is now focused on increasing awareness of the climatic challenge facing the planet.
