Nice song with great lyrics and production

This is a beautiful haunting song. I love it!!

A certain Australian flavour to the backing. Unlucky in love say the lyrics. Full of wonderful imagery. The vocal makes the most of the lyrics. A polished production, but I'd expect nothing less. The refrain has a pleasantly minor key flavour and the vocalist demonstrates his range. It's impressive.

Another great track love the harmolca very nice indeed 👍

The Voices of Nature - 2023 Collection

Morning Sun

16 - 2-2024

It reminds me of life before livin' - It's my truth but take away givin'
It's my hope for the dead not the livin' HO,HO,HO, HOpium

Like a firefly burning out in the night

HOpium - Like a man with his hand out
HOpium - Like a screamer that can't shout
HOpium - A dollar sign in a penny jar
HOpium - A rock that can't be thrown far

Like a light bulb burning out under the bleachers
Like a funky hand of god and just a bevy of preachers
Like a soul suckin' mutt but it's devoid of all features
HO, HO, HO, HOpium

Kind of like COpium it gives you a reason
Like swimmin' in the summer sun when you're really freezin'
Take another snort and you'll be sure to be sneezin'
HO.HO,HO, HOpium

HOpium

Thank you to all who stopped and listened to this track. Thank you for your time.
We are attached to the things we bathe in, and we are constantly haunted by them. What about the blessings from heaven? 
Is it what you want? Human joy is not only about things. Sometimes love and the warmth of an offered hand are also wonderful gifts. 
It all depends on how you think and how you hold your heart.

A Blessing Given

Song of the Sea (Remix 2024)

Haunting emotional pop ballad and solo write pro demo from way back with session vocals. Copyright 2008 Jay Rich. Lyrics below:

              No Man Is An Island

Intro:

No man is an island (x4)

V1:

Standing there on the silent sound (inlet)
Like a tidal wave you came crashing down
And swept away all my solid ground
Then you coldly cut me adrift:
Your cruel stroke so sure and swift
And the treasure I thought I'd found
Became one more shipwreck run aground

V2:

Although I tried to go with the flow
Got caught up in the dark undertow:
Out of my depth, oh how well I know
Those cross-currents and fast riptide
Left me wide open, nowhere to hide
Far better to have stayed landlocked
Than be dashed upon your barren rocks

Ch1:

No man is an island
And I'm all lost at sea
With surging breakers
Bearing down on me
I need to find passage back
Among the shifting sands
But sanctuary that I seek
Eludes me on dry land

V3:

Your Lorelei's seductive siren call
Lured me so far from safe landfall
I saw the trap but couldn't heed at all:
Blinded by heartfelt emotion
Needed to plunge right into your ocean
But as they say, the deepest depths
Are graveyard to most hapless wrecks

Ch2:

No man is an island
And I'm so lost at sea
Broken by the storm
No lifeline can save me
The causeway is now covered
I'm stranded all alone
The mists're coming down
As the waters claim their own

Outro:

No man is an island (rpt to fade)

L'Amour Courtois

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All 40 listed hugely varied songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2024. There are also a number of concept video links in the describe your track section, plus many more songs unposted due to SC's free page limitations. I also have a truly massive backlog of lyrics constantly being added to, with influences too many to list. This being so, feel free to hit me up for collaborations (I write both to and without music) but be aware I only write for fun and challenge; I'm no industry wannabe and never plan to be.

Finally, please do not 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It won't be reciprocated and I will block you. The prima donnas here are tedious and you know who you are. Ditto the bots that 'like' a track the instant it's uploaded. Soundcloud, you need to do a better clean-up job here, please take note... Overall though thanks for a very useful and generally friendly platform.👍
