Beautiful sound, beautiful song and beautiful voice! thanks for sharing

Love songs about the sea and fishermen. Very nice!

Big jangly guitar sounds, well constructed lyrics, well sung. Complete with refrains, which I tend to neglect. The refrain has a sweeping majesty about it. All very nicely done.

You will eventually populate folk music with an entirely new pantheon of traditional style songs, and people might be puzzled about how they all came to be so quickly.

A very poignant song Jay, sung and played very well indeed.

Another great track that comprises a nice performance. Quite impressed.

love the twelve string.....what song ....roll on man ...fantastic!

Gaslight

This is the sound of the future
This is the sound of the past

Where do we go when the world ends
What do we do if it lasts

Will you hold me in the darkness
Will you kiss me in the cold

So little time left for changes
So many stories untold

Only one train to tomorrow
Only one track in the night

Got no time got no ticket
Drifting slowly out sight

Will you hold me in the darkness
Will you kiss me in the cold

So little time left for changes
So many stories untold...

Night

loopy

Original song about bullying..
Music made in Garageband  

Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:

Can you hear them mocking you
They laugh and make fun of you
Every time you turn around
They point fingers at you

Can you feel how cold they are
How little empathy they have
They pay no attention
Only to themselves..

Nananana....

Can you see how small they are
They try to look big and smart
They all wear the same outfits
They all have on their masks

They're always on a bully race
They never show their real face
Trying to get bigger
By putting others down..

Nananana...

Can you stand up again
Turn your back to them
Don't give them the power
Don't listen to their words

Can you feel how strong you are
They couldn't brake you down
The next time you meet them
Laugh at them and say:

Nananana...

I was inspired to this lyric by a book on a Cornish fishing tragedy of Victorian times, full of evocative sepia-tinted photos. So the song just cried out to be written. It's from way back, with music and vox by a late American co-writer I did many good songs with. Copyright 2008 Jay Rich and Michael Frazier. Lyrics below:

                   The Cruel Sea

V1:

A fisherman's son of the port I was born
Nor for other trades had I thought to be torn
Our family's lifeblood so long maritime:
Spending our lives with the gulls and the brine

Ch1:

The sea, the cruel sea
Her bounty and majesty
Of her are many things most truly said
The sea, the cruel sea
Her shameless treachery
That fateful night it all came to a head

*****Mini-break*****

V2:

Roused from our sleep by a loud siren call
How I wished to God I had not seen it all:
Young widows bereft and prostrate on the ground
The cries of the children a heart-rending sound

Ch2:

The sea, the cruel sea
Changed everything for me:
Lambs to the slaughter, her victims she led
The sea, the cruel sea
Destroyed our community
On that dark day that she piled up our dead

*****Mini-break*****

V3:

And for my part I would know tragedy:
See five of my kinsmen claimed prematurely
I recall their coffins stacked high in the nave
And vowed to myself I'd fill no early grave

Ch3:

The sea, the cruel sea
Won't be my destiny
And though a child, I could still understand
The sea, the cruel sea:
A farmer I chose to be
And to this day my feet won't leave the land

Ch4:

The sea, the cruel sea
The anguish and misery
I can't forgive the destruction she wrought
The sea, the cruel sea
Ruined many a family
Who can't forget the sad lesson she taught

*****Mini-break*****

Ch5:

The sea, the cruel sea:
Merciless enemy
Don't take her on, not for anyone's sake
The sea, the cruel sea:
Curse her harsh tyranny
And all the heartbreak she leaves in her wake

Outro:

Yes, and all the heartbreak she leaves in her wake
And all the heartbreak she leaves in her wake
Bless all those poor souls she saw fit to take

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith
Or finally arrive

Echoes Of Tomorrow (Tam-Jennifer, K2 and the 3, J.J. Terrell)

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.👍
