Great! - I've got every Hall & Oates album - you did an amazing version

This is a song inspired by a wonderful poem of the same title that I came across on the web recently.  It's written by a guy named Christopher without further information (not me though).   I eventually took the liberty & converted it into a song.  I gave it a bit of a country feel and hope you would enjoy listening.

[LYRICS]
She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.
Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?
Covering cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.
What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?
Is justice outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow,  painful fall-out?

Instrumental break

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?
She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.
Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

Into Every Life

I'm delighted to finally release a Solo Piano piece in which there is so much Beauty, so much space  to dance within it's symmetry.  

May it be a blessing, and contribute towards Peace and understanding on this yet warring planet.

May I sit myself
Right here
I’m feeling tired
Now
I have run out of breath
While trying to keep my vows 

We don’t have to say
A word
Just gaze
Blankly out
As the leaves drop to the ground
Feet up: what was the noise about?

So silent
Yet windy hair 
So peaceful
Yet full of life

Oh, thank you
For my chair
I feel so much
Better now
You’ve calmed down my breath
Oh let us, just stay here

Oh, let us, just stay here

Silent Here

The Voices of Nature - 2023 Collection

Midnight Sun (Remix)

Cast of characters:
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea  -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych  –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3,  @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Josh added his four string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part.  Stephen came up with the floating ambient guitar throughout and the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the fire or the fire flames out

Song Of The Solo Soul - Noxpox & Wivresse

Well me and the boys are goin' out on the town
We're meetin' the ladies and we're hangin' around
jump in the car and get to cruisin' it down
to wherever the party is we'll follow the sound

And she keeps me up till morning
just sittin' drinkin' on the floor
when the lights come on and we're leavin'
I'll be runnin' for the door

Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo
the night was callin' and the day was through
We all meet drinkin' to familar tunes

And she's with me in the evening
tryin' to pull me to the floor
when the day comes and I'm leaving
She gets up and locks the door

Chorus
So ratchet up to the same old sound
we're all drivin' through the same old town
You're comin' with us I want you around
Just don't forget me at the party we found

She calls me in the evening
trying to pull me off the floor
but when the boys pull up and I'm leavin'
leave her standin' at my door...

(Jump in the car and get to cruisin it down
we're meetin' the ladies and we're drivin' around
Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo)

Chorus

She finds me in the evening
wanderin' all around the floor 
when the nights done and we're leavin'
she gets me home and through my door
