Paying attention to the lyrics... quite complicated, Phil  :)

This is a superb song. Not only that - it's art.

Most amazing vocal flying harmonies...wow, great song scape-ing and splashes of really cool sounds that plunge forward...excellent shape-shiftin'-swingin' song XOXOXO

lyrics:

she says - don’t think, don’t move
what are you tryin' to prove?
just be you
she says - let it out, let it breathe
let it crawl out of the sleeve
and i know - all the colors, step by step
are blending with her spiderweb

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

i'm a kind of a dorian gray
and i am faustian, by the way
as long as i feel you 
i am everything you want me to be

my muse 
i pledge my soul to you

My Muse

DREAM WITH ME Yodel Mix | Music by Karin-Maria Brunner | Music & Lyrics by REKHA IYERN FE | YT

A one chord song about striking out on your own before full adulthood yet well after childhood.   Maybe a bit lightweight, but no less real for all that.

Lyrics:
o-oh hey, what is meant to be
does anyone know what will happen to me
o-oh hey, my will may be free
but I am compelled by the vision I see

why wonder what is at the end of the road
perhaps nothing more than a myth to explode
so much to do, so much to know
the journey is long but I’ve still got to go

this might be a game of chance that we play
it might be a goal we will capture one day
but if you think it is better to stay
then open the door and get out of the way

I remixed this old track which I really like. Without any pretension,
I think there is a special strength that emanates from this song. 
And in these difficult times, she is like a vitamin of hope, 
and gives off positives vibes.
Thank you for listening and above all keep yourself in good health.

J'ai remixé cet ancien titre que j'aime beaucoup. Sans aucune prétention, je pense qu'il y a une force particulière qui émane de cette chanson. Et en ces temps tellement difficiles, elle est comme une vitamine d'espoir, et dégage des ondes positives. 
Merci pour votre écoute et surtout gardez-vous en bonne santé.

"To live finally"

I don't care of past, 
I don't care of future, 
I live in present, free as the blue bird
I remember myself that good memories
I am simply a man who wishes to  live in  the peace
I am simply a man who prefers to  remain  alone

I never want to hear of black stories
All these news which eat away at us from the inside. 

I don't care of past, 
I don't care of future, 
I live in present, free as the blue bird
I remember myself that good memories
I am simply a man who wishes to  live in  the peace
I am simply a man who prefers to  remain  alone

I never want to hear of black stories
All these news which eat away at us from the inside

I don't care your grey in life, 
I don't care your grey in love,
I want to keep the last slice of  my life  to live 
finally

JUST FOR A MOMENT I WAS FLYING

At first I just bounced off the floor 
Stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Now I’ve fallen over
Never really got back up
Over and over
Down I go
‘Cos of you
‘Cos of wonderful you

If there's nobody listening (do they hear?)
If there's nobody there (do they see?)
Did I trip, did I really fall (did I fall?)
Or see wonderful you? (wonderful you!)
Wonderful you?

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Hands full of air
Lungs full of nothing
And I still see you everywhere
You still knock me over girl

[Sax Solo]

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

At first I just bounced 
And stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk...

Just For A Moment I Was Flying

Janine Levinson: lyrics, singing, vocal melodies, cover art. @janinelevinson

Jonathan Beckenstein: music, instruments, mixing.

I climbed to the top
thinking I would stop
and gaze upon the crystal view
but it turned out quite ordinary

I guess I think I thought
that everything would start
and I would find my heart
or something quite extraordinary

but there’s no here here
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
this room is full of ordinary men

I worked very hard
To be a member of
a high and mighty club
but it turned out quite ordinary

I guess that I supposed
when every door was closed
the thing that was behind
would be something extraordinary

there was no there there
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
the room is full of ordinary men

oh there there, dear
there are no answers here.
oh there, there dear
go forth and multiply

older now I know
the bill of goods I sold
the little boy when he was
something quite extraordinary

that there’s a special kind
of gem that he will find
that only special people get to see

there is no there there
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
there there dear

but maybe there’s a green
that I have never seen
the emerald kind of grass
that’s on the far side of the hill

there is no there there
the room is full of ordinary men

Ordinary Men (with Janine Levinson)

LYRICS BELOW
Here's a song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic (but it's upbeat and hopeful). Big thanks to Ben Lokuta, who recorded the drums remotely. Ben is an amazing young drummer currently studying at Berklee College of Music and the drummer for Distant Cuzins. I played gigs with Ben all last year, including at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Ben plays a huge drum set with two kicks, so mixing was a bit of a challenge! I told Ben to let loose in the last verse, and he really came through.
All four guitars I play in this song are Gretsches--hollowbody or semi-hollow--all with different pickups:
Gretsch 5422T with Filtertrons
Gretsch 5622T with Super HiLo trons
Gretsch 2622TG with P90s
Gretsch 2420 with Broadtrons
...so this is definitely a Gretsch song!

        Take a Minute
............Words & Music by Timothy Walsh
You say you can’t go the distance, put up too much resistance,
even though I’m telling you that I’ll be there for you.

No, I don’t even want to hear it.   No time to check out though we fear it.
The sea’s about to swallow up this human world we know.

Chorus

You’re watching all your screens.  Never get outside.
Stand among the trees.
You’re always stuck inside like a person who’s confined
never walking in the breeze.

You say the clock is ticking—watch as the whole world is sickening.
I just say that you have got to think beyond us two.

So roll up your sleeves and pitch in—no use just always bitching.
You have got to use your life and stand up for what’s true.

Vocals, guitars, bass: Timothy Walsh
Drums: Ben Lokuta
Recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees)

Take A Minute (with Ben Lokuta)

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROAMING OF THE SEA
IT SEEMS TO ME THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE
THERE IF YOU STAND FACING INFINITY 
IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING BUT THERE’S PLENTY TO SEE

ANY NEW BABY BORN A WHALER HE WIL BE
EXCEPT IF HE’S A GIRL SHE’LL BECOME A LASSIE A LASS
WITH THE GULLS HIGH ABOVE SHRIEKING THEIR OWN SHANTY
PRAISE THE WIND THAT CARRIES THEIR BODIES SO FREE

AND THE FOAM A SPLASHING ON THE BOULDERS DEBRIS
TELLS IN SHORT NO TELLING WHAT A  WONDROUS STORY
FROM THE START TO THE END LIFE’S TENACITY
BATTLEFIELD STORMY ROUNDS OF IMMENSE ENERGY

HERE I STAND WITH A FRIEND INVISIBLE TO SEE
I GOT TIME ON MY HANDS STRETCHING OUT AT SEA 
I DO FEEL IN COMMAND BOTH SAD AND HAPPY
EVEN A GRAIN OF SAND IT IS SO GOOD TO BE 

THERE’S ABUSE AND HARDSHIP THERE IS INSANITY
ALL ON BOARD OF OUR SHIP OUR KIND OF A BOUNTY
BUT WHATEVER THE DIPS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
ON AND ON HAND IN HAND WE’LL MAKE IT YOU’LL SEE

ON THE EDGE HERE I STAND WITH SOMEONE NEXT TO ME
IT’S THE MAN OF ARAN THE GHOST OF FLAHERTY
WE THREE ARE IN COMMAND FACING ETERNITY
AND IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WHICH IS SOMETHING TO SEE

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROARING OF THE SEA

MAN OF ARAN (Lyrics)

A little rant on what is happening to humanity these days. IMHO. 
Opted for a raw sort of sound for this one.

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Lots of friends on social media,  noone’s talking noone’s listening
Why is it more people,  feel alone and dejected
Common sense not so common,  talking about decency
Where’s the courage and resolve,  to stand up for what’s right

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Respect and kindness,  should come naturally
Instead self serving, lies and egos,  drive daily life
Leaders with no shame, no heart,  no sense of compassion
Oblivious to world needs,  and the plight of humanity
 
Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Don’t give in to fear,  intimidation and complacency
Rise up, be good and just,  to everyone you meet
Race, color and culture,  shouldn’t drive hate and violence
Time on earth is brief,  wake up for humanity

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Whatever Happened

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

Real music. Really played, really sung, really written by really musicians. No loops, collages of samples, any sampled sounds played by hand, no drum machines, well sometimes if needs must... (aint no rules after all!).

Some of my tracks are also available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, ClaroMusica, Saavn, MediaNet, Shazam, just search for Phil McWalter and stream or even buy. I need some income to get by and update my kit, but all the tracks are here to stream for free.

Wow!!  286K plays and over 3.8K valued followers and friends that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on a 27" iMac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), 'sing' if unavoidable, play vintage Tokai strats mainly, classical guitar, keyboards and sax. I use an iPad to control Logic Pro X and Omnisphere 2. I use Native Instrument's Komplete Ultimate 13 and also produce my own organic samples. I love Hollow Sun's unique synths and samples too - The late Steve Howell's www.hollowsun.com 

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open) when not making a bigger noise through Mackie studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, iSK condenser AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO (http://www.booinstruments.com) & BOSS stomps. Rack: Lexicon, Pod XT Pro, E-MU, Alesis, BBE.

I really enjoy collaborating with other musicians and love to write for, compose with, play guitar, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please just ask!

P.S. I use www.Distrokid.com and SC Repost to publish my work to Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon, Google Play, Tidal, iHeartRadio, YouTube, Deezer and 150+ other stores & streaming services.
