Lyrics:
If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

There comes a time in every man's life
When the words won't flow and the melody slows
There comes a time when day turns to night 
And the flame once so bright is nowhere in sight

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

Please don't go
You'll never know
That every time I clear my mind
You're the only one I find

Disconnected and tone deaf
Emotionally worth less
Wondering what will be left
I fill my life with emptiness

Remembering your touch
I couldn't get enough
Now it doesn't even matter
No it doesn't matter

Cos if he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

Don't stop singing
Never stop 
Never stop

Don't Stop Singing

Don't Stop Singing (2023)

It's all about constant change, both in life and in music. As for the music, the original goal was to make use of panning to illustrate the "walking on by" at the beginning and end of the song. The second phase was creating a fuller sound without having various parts drowned out, or in some way, channel my inner Phil Spector.

The finale is the sound of footsteps walking by and then the shutting of the door as the song ends. End of a relationship. End of the song.

Maybe the best relationship advise I can give is: if you love someone, set them free ... don't quote me, quote Sting. :-) This is sort of my "resigned to my fate" version. I've been on both sides of that fence. I've walked away knowing it wasn't going to work out (long term). Sadly, I've been on the other side knowing the pain of love lost. But in the end, I didn't really lose anything that was mine to lose. I could go on and talk about how a true love is neither possessive nor jealous but hopefully, the song makes that point clear.

Just Walk On By
----------------------
Just walk -- walk on by
No need to tell me another lie
Keep it to yourself (I tell you)
Just walk on by ...

That's what I said -- keep on walking
You don't need to do any more talking
What you say just don't matter
Just walk on by ...

[Solo]

You say that you love me, ain't that right?
So where were you all last night?
He he! That really don't matter
Just walk on by ...

So many years, I've been holding on
Now you don't want to say: "So long."
Well, you know I hate long good byes, so
Just walk on by ...

[final solo]

[footsteps as she leaves and shuts the door
thus closure to the song and the relationship]

... you know I hate long good byes.

Just Walk On By

Just Walk On By (Original)

We may not have traveled far and wide,  but Keith has a way of transporting us all over the world through his curious mind and love of history. So, why are we in Italy? Simply put, Keith loves Vespas ;)  Actually, he loves the idea of the band touring Italy on Vespas, funky hipster wheels and recording tunes as we go.  The "Sock Puppets" was a theme Keith developed as he created some videos depicting travels with the WAG puppets.
Vesari Corridor is one adventure from the Album Keith wanted to develop, found here: https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons
Join Keith, Kevin, and I as we travel around Italy, taking in some famous landmarks and enjoying a lot of Kevin's favourite red wines.

Lyrics:
Vasari Corridor

Da,da,da,da,dah…… Da,da,da,da,dah……(nonchalantly strolling along, minding own business:)
Down the corridor …of Vasari.

I found a secret place…somewhere safe for us to go
No prying eyes in this narrow space…a hidden alley that I know
Down the corridor…of Vasari

Da, da, dah, da, da, dah …he’s waiting.  
Da, da, dah, da, da, dah …he’s waiting

We are not allowed in here… (Do-do-do-do) If we’re careful, we’ll be fine
Avoid the blade, avoid the fear… (Do- do-do-do) and we will live till next time
Down the corridor…of Vasari

If there was a way to avoid this…hiding and subterfuge
(Down the corridor…of Vasari)
I found a secret place, somewhere safe for us to go…
(Down the corridor…down the corridor…of Vasari)
Somewhere safe for us to go…go…go…go…

(The chase commences…)

Stab him in the back…He’s never going back!
He’s Medici…He’s Medici   (repeats)

알잖아 왜 그랬는지
모두가 다 그랬듯이
자연스럽게
멀어져 간 게
모순이 돼
다가가보려 해도
눈을 맞춰보려고 해도
무시하는 게
무서운데
그걸 알고 다가온 너에게 난
빠져버렸어
너의 행동 하나하나 전부 신경 쓰여
머리를 넘기며 귀를 보여주는
너에게 난 내 맘을 드러내서 보여주고 싶어

But I miss you now, why?

너의 겉모습
장점보단 단점들이 더
많아도 나는 절대 신경 안 써
멋대로 울지 말아 
너의 눈물보단 나의 눈물을 가져가 줘

But I miss you now, why?
But I miss you now, why?

어떻게 하면 우리 행복해질 거 같아
행복보단 눈물이 누구보다 많던 우리가

Why !

"They don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us."

Acoustic steel string, for two main guitars, with occasional single note line decoration from a third. (All parts played on my Maton M225.)

Songbird Boo

Wastin’ time is all we know
Let us lay down, let us lay low

We all chased a fallen ghost, far beneath the tide
Let us lay down

Let us lay down

A brilliant blues song by Tracy Chapman. This is my instrumental version.

Lyrics by Wildsilences 

“i'm you
and i'm the voice in your head
telling you, 'no'
i'm the addiction
but you can't stop
i'm the love and i'm the lie
i'm the dark and i'm the light
i'm you
i'm the shadow
i'm the dream, nightmare
i'm the life
i'm the hurt
i'm the loneliness
i'm the cold night, walking home
i am the scream
i'm your surrender
and i am the quiet
i am..."

Wildsilences on SolaceStreet - I am the

From the album ”Rain.” 

Lyrics:

Vie vie vie vie vie

Who's your go-to guy whenever
Your windows are open wide
Whenever your roof becomes the sky
Vie vie vie vie vie

Royal blue and gold becomes you 
Until that day it's just burnt umber
These crayons draw the line

Vie vie vie vie vie

Draw inside the lines
Don't tell me
Everything is fine
Don't tell me
You'll never be mine
Don't tell me

Have you seen the possibilities?
You close your eyes before you even see
What there is inside
Vie vie vie vie vie

I'm there for you without a question
Secret love I never mention
It's hidden deep inside
Vie vie vie vie vie


Draw inside the lines
Don't tell me
Everything is fine
Don't tell me
You'll never be mine
Don't tell me

Vie vie vie vie vie
