Old track of mine using electric piano sound.

White Garden

Theme for an Imaginary Western - Part 2

“the firewater dance into the footsteps of ghosts
is performed by colourful strangers…”

The Time It Never Rained

hard it is, so easy now to love you,
all the crazy things you do, the things you say,
hard it is so easy now to hold you in my heart

yes I will be leaving, but I won’t get in my car
and drive away…

how many layers can you peel from my heart?
and yet still, I am standing here, holding you tight
my arms enfolding you as promises of all
the everything you ever dreamed, that could come true

hard it is, so easy now to love you,
all the crazy things you do, the things you say,
hard it is so easy now to hold you in my heart

now, as the sun sinks down behind a winter sky
you are snarling as a wildling,  all the snares you have laid,
flowers lying broken, all the bottles overturned
all the ashes spilling over, all the bridges that you burned, you burned, you burned...

hard it is, so easy now to love you,
all the crazy things you do, the things you say,
hard it is so easy now to hold you in my heart
 (but something’s broken and I can’t bring it back)

yes I will be leaving, but I won’t get in my car
and drive away…
although it hurts so much, to stay

hard it is, so easy now to love you,
all the crazy things you do, the things you say,
hard it is so easy now to hold you in my heart

hard it is so easy now...

As it is the end of summer, perhaps this is a good time for a 'blockbuster' track. I originally wrote this more than a year ago. I got a better orchestra, so I replaced all the tracks with the new ones. It was not so easy to mix because of the large number of tracks (40) and I often would look away not wanting to sit down and figure out all the details. With orchestra, one needs to do a lot of MIDI manipulation and automation to make it sound alive. My friend, Pascal, (https://soundcloud.com/user-650933542) wrote the electronic ostinato part in the second half. Check out his cinematic, imaginative, orchestral offerings. I also made a slower first half with piano and strings but I will make it into another song instead.

A special tribute to all our furry friends who make our lives so wonderful! 
Here is a bio of each dog, based on the cover art, starting in the upper left corner, in clockwise order:

Ellie is our five year old shihpoo, who is an eight pound bundle of fluff and love.  She likes playing with her ball and her red hedgehog, as well as taking long walks/hikes, especially when it's not too hot and she knows she can "swim" in a stream. Ellie is quite the vocalist, especially when she's excited about something, or feels the need to inform us of impending danger. 

Callahan or Cal, our granddog, is a nine month old, very spirited Bernese Mountain Dog.  He loves sticks, and his toys, and it's very interesting watching him try to figure out the world such as when he decided to bark incessantly at the grill, or when he came to our house the first time and didn't want to come in the door.

Lucky, the one-eyed dachshund, belonging to our friends, was the life of the party and happily partook of anything appetizing within his reach, including a friend's rum and coke!  Lucky hated it when his pawrents (or us when they were out of town) would leave, and would howl mournfully and incessantly when left home alone in his kennel.

Angel, our dear, sweet, shihpoo passed the Rainbow Bridge 3 years ago.  In spite of having numerous health ailments, including diabetes that resulted in cataracts that had to be removed to restore her sight, as well as twice daily insulin shots, she maintained her wonderful disposition and love of taking long walks for her entire 16-plus years with us.

Jax, our pug who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last November, was one of the nicest dogs, but had a few odd habits.  Jax enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors, where he would sit staring at the sky for hours looking for airplanes, then madly "chasing" and barking at them when they appeared. The only thing Jax didn't like was the mailboxes; he would bark like crazy every time we drove over to get the mail.
