Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of love, here's an oldie but goldie I wrote this back in 1998, can you believe it, It's another song about my dream girl that I wouldn't meet for many year afterwards. I was divorced for about 2 years and pretty much feeling abandoned and lonely. I remember wanting to write a song in the same vein as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles. A very acoustic number with an accordion playing in the background, you know, very romantic like something you might hear in a Paris cafe! This was one of the first songs I did with Charlie, it wasn't recorded too well since I had an old Tascam 8-track analog recorder and it's distorted quite a bit but I think the melody and lyrics still hold up. (Mastering didn't help this song at all, sorry!) I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments. I've always liked the first line about wrapping myself inside her smile. I produced the video a few months ago for this Valentine's Day. I enjoyed putting it together and added like 10 quick snap shots of beautiful women taking selfies at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Ciao! 😎✌🏼

“HOW I LOVE HER”

IT’S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE WEARS A SMILE,   
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE IT,   
NO MATTER HOW HARD I MIGHT TRY TO HIDE IT,   
HOW I LOVE HER,             
     
SIMPLY A SUBTLE SHIFT OF HER BEAUTIFUL EYES, 
MELTS AWAY ALL THE BITTERNESS WITHIN ME,   
AND EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHES ME, SHE WINS ME,  
HOW I LOVE HER,

I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,       
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,       
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,   
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,          
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,   
HOW I LOVE HER,      
          
I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,        
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,         
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,    
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,           
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,  
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER.

"HOW I LOVE HER" (Video - https://youtu.be/QQzTN6uuehM)

This is a song about treading new paths, and the footwear required :-)

"New Ways" written by KL
Recorder (Blockflöte) by SL (my 8 year old daughter)
Guitar by MJW (a good friend of mine)
Vocals, Bass guitar, Drums and Synthesizer by KL

Feel free to turn up the volume :-)

Chorus:
Can´t find...can´t find new ways…
can´t find new ways in worn-out shoes…
Can´t break...can´t break new ground…
can´t break new ground in worn-out shoes...

New Ways

Another acoustic song taken on by Mighty Mike Fox for This Sound Society project.
Can’t thank him enough for his efforts,  skills & enthusiasm for the ideas. A double busy top bloke.
This song is about a personal experience a long time ago that still to this day can hurt when mentioned.
Then 20 years after the dust as settled the opportunity arises out of the blue to cut to the chase and talk truth & transparency about the situation.
Always two sides to a story and their version strangely favours the brave but they take no responsible for their actions and the feelings of others after they shit on you from a great height after you have been always helpful & decent to them. 
You may still love these people and forgive them but you never forget.
So it’s about people who are close to you wether it’s family or friends. 
We have probably all been there and feel betrayed but because of who they are you rise above to be a better person. 
They don’t change with time just turn inside out.
They will still be out for number one and would sell their Granny for personal gain .
To be deceitful, lie and play you like a fiddle leaving you in the dark.
This Sound Society gives you the second track of 2025.
20 years……..

V1
Time as a habit of bringing things to the surface
So if you want to get into this then it better be worth  it 
My versions different and your gonna deserve it 
20 years as passed since that day  in earnest 



There’s  a time to talk this through 
Now’s the time time for me & you
To talk……..  transparency & truth x2

V2
There’s always an excuse for why it shouldn’t of happened 
You only have reasons that  you just imagined 
And just because it’s 20 years doesn’t make it old fashioned 
So take a seat and let’s watch it all Unfasten

Lead break

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Lyrics

I can see I've said too much
I can tell by the look on your face
I can see I've said too much
I can see it on your face

Someone tell me when to quit
Someone put a hand on my mouth
Now I've broken a heart again
Now I've made it no way out

I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
Windbag
I'm a windbag
Help me
I'm a windbag
Help me

When it seems that I am weak
And that I want, want to speak
Shut me up, that I am weak
And that i want, want to speak
Shut me up

I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag

Shut me up, Shut me up
Shut me up, Shut me up

Someone tell me when to quit
Someone put a hand on my mouth
Now I've broken a heart again
Now I've made it no way out

Windbag

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.

This song is about knowing you can't mess up things that are meant for you. It's about not being afraid of the journey as it's 'funny how it all works out for good'

Copyright Mia Wilks 2025 PRS 

Lyrics 

Verse 1

You’ve been in a rut 
Running out of luck 
Can’t seem to find your purpose 
You’ve been feeling stuck
Doors keep closing shut 
Tell you how it’s worth it 

Hey
It’s ok 
Ya don’t say 
I’ve got a feeling 
Everything is gonna fall right in place 
One day 
One day 

Chorus 

Funny how it all works out 
Even through the ups and downs 
Funny how it all works out for good 

Breath in breath out
Let go of doubt 
Everything all works out for good
Funny how it all works out for good 


Verse 2

You don’t feel the love 
It’s never quite enough
Can’t seem to find your purpose 
You’ve been feeling rushed 
Life is kinda tough 
Tell you how it’s worth it

Thank you to David and Justin for collaborating on this track

For Good

Souvent nous revient cette curieuse envie de changer le monde parce que certaines choses ou pour certain beaucoup de choses nous dérangent ou déplaisent, mais c’est en fait un jugement qui nous appartient, c’est donc surement le monde à l’intérieur de nous qu’il faut changer, notre perception, car personne n’a le même ressenti pour les mêmes choses, la paix intérieure est en nous c’est ce que j’essaie tous les jours de comprendre et de suivre, la résilience, le contentement pour accéder à cette paix intérieure. Lâcher prise en faisant confiance à cette force invisible qu’est la vie et son équilibre, se laisser un peu porter lorsque c’est trop difficile.
 Gandhi disait : Personne ne peut te blesser sans ta permission, le bonheur c’est un état d’être, le bonheur c’est un choix que l’on fait le matin au réveil, ou pas. Nous sommes libres de notre état d’être

Voici 3 livres que j’aime particulièrement :
Le bonheur de Frederic Lenoir
Messager de lumière de Neale Donald Walsh
Danser le rêve de Jamie Sams

Image et cœur : https://soundcloud.com/user-262019520
Chant et musique : Steph Ouna

 Parole :
C’est un musicien
Toujours pressé d’aller plus loin
Qui s’enfuit dans le lointain
Avec son âme à la main
Comme il s’enfonçait
Au plus profond de la forêt
Le vent se mis à souffler
Pour l’empêcher de tomber

refrain :
Lever les mains, vers le haut
Profiter il fait beau, ça nous donne tellement chaud
Qu’on est si près des oiseaux, on se sent libre au bord de l’eau
Et on y trouve le repos, on garde le tempo,
mais où sont cachés les défauts

Et dis-moi le musicien, je crois que l’on se sert de toi
Quel contraste sur ton chemin, tu sais qu’il n’y a ni raison, ni lois
Et t’y perds un peu parfois, tu te crois à l’abris de ça
Et l’on ne donnerait pas cher de toi, si l’on ne te connaissait pas

A vouloir partir trop loin, aller jusqu’à se rendre fou
Puisque rien ne nous retient, alors regarde ce qu’ils ont fait de nous
Essaye toujours de rester debout, même quand la lumière s’éteint
Et que la douleur te cloue, comme l’ancre sur un parchemin

Et mon pauvre musicien, tu avais envie d’aller jusqu’au bout
Mais tu n’es pas magicien, tu es là pour nous faire rêver, c’est tout
C’est comme un nœud qui se dénoue, puis la vie reprend son chemin
Alors on sent ce vent si doux, qui semble venir de si loin

refrain :
Lever les mains, vers le haut
Profiter il fait beau, ça nous donne tellement chaud
Qu’on est si près des oiseaux, on se sent libre au bord de l’eau
Et on y trouve le repos, on garde le tempo,
mais où sont cachés les défauts

Le chemin du musicien

Fascinating day

Cover of Earl Klugh's "Living Inside Your Love"

can't get over the feeling
living inside your love
I never want to lose the feeling
living inside your love

and I never could say
what I'm feeling today for you

Living Inside Your Love (feat. Lex Bansil)

Oğuz Babür -Sınırın Güneyi 26022025

a great song written by Rick Danko and Bob Dylan..........miles of shit have been written about this band......... best to let their music do the talking...........this version is with the Alters...cheers for having a listen

This Wheel’s On Fire 
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN AND RICK DANKO
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 We were goin’ to meet again and wait
 So I’m goin’ to unpack all my things
 And sit before it gets too late
 No man alive will come to you
 With another tale to tell
 But you know that we shall meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 I was goin’ to confiscate your lace
 And wrap it up in a sailor’s knot
 And hide it in your case
 If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
 But it was oh so hard to tell
 But you knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!
 
 If your mem’ry serves you well
 You’ll remember you’re the one
 That called on me to call on them
 To get you your favors done
 And after ev’ry plan had failed
 And there was nothing more to tell
 You knew that we would meet again
 If your mem’ry served you well
 This wheel’s on fire
 Rolling down the road
 Best notify my next of kin
 This wheel shall explode!

springtime osaka - ten de vils

I am a frozen statue, watching seasons come and go, feeling changes, doing nothing, forever...
Last movement of the rock symphony, where I pay tribute to, and play, my mom's spanish guitar.
Main theme (bass E1-A1...E1-A1-E2...), appears all along the album, and also main themes of other 3 movements sound here as refrains (Vienen y van / Hora tras hora) which are thus sung over 4 different musics ;) E-Ruizzo project is finished, what's to come?... below translated lyrics.

SE NOTA (PRIMAVERA EN EL POLO)  /  ONE CAN FEEL IT (SPRING AT THE POLE)

Se nota… después de seis meses  /  One can feel it… after six months
el sol amanece y se nota…  /  the sun dawns and one can feel it …

En el despertar del zorro ártico,  /  In the awakening of the arctic fox,
en el fluir de los glaciares se nota.  /  in the flow of the glaciers one can feel it.
En el nacimiento de icebergs,  /  At the birth of icebergs,
en los acantilados poblados de aves.  /  on the cliffs populated by birds.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy sitio de paso.  /  I’m a transit point.
Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through,
un sitio de paso soy.  /  I’m a transit point.

Se nota… como cada mañana,  /  One can feel it… as every morning,
que la primavera ha llegado al Polo.  /  that spring has come to the Pole.

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

En la migración del narval,  /  In the migration of narwhal,
en el aliento del viento,  /  in the breath of the wind,
en las nubes que huyen de él, se nota.  /  in the clouds that run away from it, one can feel it.

En el canto de las sirenas,  /  In the singing of mermaids,
en las inflorescencias de hielo,  /  in the inflorescences of ice,
en el paso del noroeste se nota.  /  in the Northwest Passage one can feel it.

Vienen y van, no me hacen caso,  /  They come and go, they don’t listen to me,
soy para todos un sitio de paso,  /  I am a transit point for all of them,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy),  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am),
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

¡¡¡ La frecuencia diaria del proceso estacional  /  The daily frequency of the seasonal process
me permite hacer estudios estadísticos !!!  /  allows me to do statistical studies !!!
Ja ja ja ja ja ja jaaaa !!!  /  Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa !!!

Vienen y van…  /  They come and go…

Hora tras hora, los meses pasan,  /  Hour after hour, months pass through, 
nuevos migrantes, nunca se cansan,  /  new migrants, they never get tired,
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).
(soy) una estatua de hielo (soy).  /  (I am) an ice statue (I am).

Hora tras hora…  /  Hour after hour…

Se nota…  /  One can feel it…

Now all 44 songs I wrote with mom's guitar in my university years have been arranged and posted, 
after 8 years of E-Ruizzo project, which I'm about to finish. I plan to stay here, commenting as 
usual, and post future and still not scheduled songs from another profile. That's all, no alarm!

Maybe you played this version before? https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/se-nota-piano-version
