This is the last in the Cloudlines series (Just realised I've been putting this collection together for more than 6 years!) 
A dreamlike series of ambient instrumentals featuring warm melodies, acoustic guitars (both nylon and steel strung), heavily processed electric guitars and a shimmering wash of synths.
A mix of the familiar, the nostalgic and the experimental.
The whole series is also available on my Bandcamp page.
Thanks for listening .......
Richard :)
PS a new long term project is on it's way.

Fly Away (remastered)

Flowing Lights 2022

■概要(overview)
★バランス調整中
今日はうさ子さんとぴょん助さんのデートの日。
とても紳士的なぴょん助さん。
でも、うさ子さんは何だか不満がありそうです。
なぜなのでしょうか？
・・・・そんな感じの曲です。
うさ子さんの気持ちを想像して歌詞を書いてみました。う～ん、気難しい人！
※この歌詞はうさ子さんの感情です・・私ではありません！

soundcloudの波形が四角くなりました。ギターのせい？
無難なコード進行にしました。


★Balance adjustment in progress
Today is Usako and Pyonsuke's date.
Pyonsuke is a very gentleman.
However, Usako seems to be dissatisfied for some reason.
why is it?
・・・It's a song like that.
I wrote the lyrics imagining Usako's feelings. Hmm, grumpy person!
*These lyrics are Usako's feelings...not mine!

The soundcloud waveform is now square.Is it because of the guitar? 
I made a safe chord progression.

■歌詞
「スピードを上げて」
臆病な人じゃ　物足りないのよ
あなたさっきから安全なチョイスをしているわ
タ・イ・ク・ツ・ね！

優しい　言葉で　ごまかしている
紳士的な態度では　白々しいわ

車道側を歩いて見せたり
マニュアル通りのエスコートじゃ
タ・イ・ク・ツ

あなたのハートが見えないわ
もっと私　おどろかせてよ
むき出しのハート
ワイルドに踊って見せて
恋が始まるように
だけどあなたスピードが足りていないわ


制限速度　ぎりぎりを狙っている
あなたそれじゃ　まるで
結末が見えちゃう　ミステリー
タ・イ・ク・ツ・ね！

無難な言葉が　悲しくさせる
紳士的にされるほど
寂しくなるわ

ヘアスタイルにコメントくれたり
そういう事は　嬉しいけれど
ズ・レ・テ・ル

あなたの　ゲームを　終わらせて
もっと　私　困らせてみて
スペードのカード
ハートのクイーンが　救う
ような恋がしたいわ
だけどあなた　ダイヤに　執着してるわ
　
本当に大事なのは　スピードじゃなくて　行先だけど
待ちくたびれて　ほら　次の春がすぐ　そこに見えたから・・

あなたのハートが見えないわ
もっと私つかまえていて
四葉のクローバー
ワイルドにかじってみせて
恋が始まるように
だけど時間が無いわ　スピードを上げて


■ lyrics
"speed up"

A cowardly person is not enough
You've been making safe choices all along
Boring!

deceiving with kind words
Even your gentlemanly attitude feels artificial

Walking on the road side and showing
Your escort according to the manual is boring

i can't see your heart
Surprise me more
bare heart
I want you to dance wildly, so that love can begin
But you're not fast enough


I know you're aiming for the speed limit
But you, it's like a mystery with a known ending.
Boring!

Safe words make me sad
The more you treat me like a gentleman, the more I miss you

Comments on hairstyles, that kind of thing makes me happy
But that's not what I want

finish your own game
and bother me more
I want a love where the queen of hearts saves the card of spades
But you're obsessed with diamonds
　
What's really important is not the speed, but the destination
Tired of waiting, look, I could see the next spring right there...

i can't see your heart
hold me more
four leaf clover
let me bite wild
as love begins
But I don't have time Speed ​​up

Speed_Wo_Agete(speed up)

Tempting September

So this was going to be a nineties throwback petshop boys style piece. I could never get it right, it's such a nihilistic piece. This is a very rough version, two takes on the piano, and a few takes on the vocal.

Let’s go, just you and I, 
while the world still dreams below the starry sky
Down the lonely street into an empty town 
From our mindless sleep on to Hallowed ground

I always thought there would be time
but i watched it slip away before my eyes
Yet we had time for our goodbyes
Looking out, at the edge of the demise

Without you here, what would I be?
Within your arms, you comfort me
You keep me close, 
you set me free!

It doesn’t end with a whimper or a bang, 
We just slowly fade to black from where we came
It doesn’t end in flood or fire,
It all just simply falls to our desire

will there ever be another?

A Love Song From The End Of The World

IL TE MANQUE LA MER
OUI MAIS TU AS L’AMOUR
IL TE MANQUE TA TERRE
OUI MAIS REGARDE AUTOUR
TU AS L’HOMME QUI T’AIME ET LA MÉLANCOLIE
SE DISSOUT D’ELLE MÊME SI ON LA VOIT JOLIE
MOI AUSSI MON PAYS
ME MANQUE BIEN SOUVENT MAIS L’AMOUR MOI AUSSI EN EMPORTE LE VENT AUTANT
TU VOUDRAIS REPARTIR MAIS TU AIMES RESTER LE PRÉSENT L’AVENIR EMMÊLÉS AU PASSÉ
UNE LARME UN SOURIRE UNE VAGUE UN REGRET ET LE MOT POUR LES DIRE JE SAIS QUE TU LE SAIS MOI AUSSI NEGUINHA PARTAGÉ ENTRE ICI MAINTENANT ET LÀ-BAS HIER ET AUJOURD’HUI SAUDADE
IL TE MANQUE RIO
LE SOLEIL EN HIVER MAIS TU AS PETERZINHO
A BRAS ET CŒUR OUVERTS TU VOUDRAIS REPARTIR MAIS TU AIMES RESTER
LE PRÉSENT L’AVENIR EMMÊLÉS AU PASSÉ
IL TE MANQUE LA MER
OUI MAIS TU AS L’AMOUR
IL TE MANQUE TA TERRE
OUI MAIS REGARDE AUTOUR
