@user-138663860: Good to hear from you Sandy!! Back atcha!!

one of my favorite Stones songs, this is a great version, really enjoyed it!

My first 45 record and a lifelong fav song. I did a cover of this one on my solo page as well. I like this lonely sound so well complemented by your harmonica and vocal approach. Well done Rick. Durge

Introduction in English:
Sometimes there are situations in life to which there are no solutions at all. You may have already done and tried everything. Nothing has helped. 
The "doer" and "controller" in me goes to its knees in such moments. And out comes the part that surrenders completely to hope. Then in a kind of prayer to his inner God and in his inner church at least asks for an alleviation of suffering for all those where all rational or scientific techniques and methods have reached their limits.
This song is about such a kind of "hope prayer"

Introduction in German:
Manchmal gibt es Situationen im Leben, zu denen es keinerlei Problemlösungen gibt. Man hat vielleicht alles schon unternommen und versucht. Nichts hat geholfen. 
Der "Macher" und "Kontrolleur" in mir geht in solchen Momenten in die Knie. Und hervorkommt der Teil, der sich ganz der Hoffnung hingibt. Dann in einer Art Gebet an seinen inneren Gott und in seiner inneren Kirche zumindest um eine Linderung des Leids für all jene bittet, bei denen alle rationalen oder wissenschaftlichen Techniken und Methoden an ihre Grenzen gestoßen. 
Von so einer Art "Hoffnungsgebet" handelt dieses Lied

Lyrics

Prayer of hope

I can only pray for you
For you to my inner God

for you I go to my own church 
sit down in the back pew

hear the organ man playing above me
floods the room with his smooth-painful sound

sometime humbly sit on my knees
go inwardly along your life

and I pray that you survive this all
that you will return to the world
I pray for your deep soul peace

I speak, cry, whisper, sing
For you 
a prayer of hope

I light a candle for you
The glow shows me, you are still there
Walk wistfully through many cloisters 
feel the cross that you have to wear

hear the murmur of the unhappy dead, 
the wailing of the damned from the dark underworld
how can I snatch you away from being cursed
my beloved, wounded, tragic hero

A Prayer of Hope

A Prayer Of Hope

My utmost thanks goes to my dear friend Dirk for lending me his Exquisite guitar skills and his voice on this song.
This song is about living out loud..  Don't waste time.. take the leap. 

Lyrics:

Wake to the Sound

Wake to the sound, Don’t drown it out..
Your voice will fade into the crowd.
live every day... you got a say!
It’s much too late, lying in your grave..

Oh, and so.. Everything lies
Sunk like a stone on the bedrock of time
We lose all our dreams
Torn at the seams, Say we’re fine, 
But it’s not what we mean…. Ohh…..

Oh Fly to the sun even if you burn, 
At least you lived at every turn 
Fight for love.. don’t let it go…
Its not too late to know for sure

Ooh... leap ...leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I
And when you’re lost, not sure where to go,
Leave sorrows behind you, come in from the cold
In rasping fire, leave behind all the pain, 
'till you find yourself again….

Ooh... Leap! Leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I.....

Yo… this is it
Without a soul
You're never whole
Mindless distractions in the hyperbole

Unknown beginning, we pay for our sinning
Is it the ego that's winning?
Not letting us be our best
We've literally been put in a test
Will it be good or evil that conquests?
We need to join together
We need to change things forever
Let differences aside and enjoy the weather
Take back control, like VAR, end their goal
As the spectators realize it's all a show
They band together and even flow

And we rise with the soul
Letting go of control
We will stand for what is right
We will work to be whole
And the darkness will fall
We will stand for what is right

I swear most people are soulless
It's like the demons control us
Sitting in the sky playing life with controllers
We need the angels to console us
Chase your dreams, don't be goalless
I ain’t living in the dream that they sold us
Weight of the world on our shoulders
Heavy like boulders
But til we're olders we'll be soldiers

And we rise with the soul
Letting go of control
We will stand for what is right
We will work to be whole
And the darkness will fall
We will stand for what is right

Yeah we’ll stand for what’s right
We’ll throw our hands up and fight
So to every woman, and man that’s alive
Don’t let the world dismantle your mind
Even though it’s challenging at times
We won’t quit, evolving
Til the doors of my thoughts have been opened 
If you’ve got a problem you can resolve it
Figure it out, and keep coping!

Stand for what is right

And we rise with the soul
Letting go of control
We will stand for what is right
We will work to be whole
And the darkness will fall
We will stand for what is right

Stand for what is right

We will stand for what is right

  This is a remix that Tez did of a song JJ wrote, and we released a couple weeks ago. He extracted the coda, expanded it, and mixed an ambient groove into it. Basically, he took the sweetest part of the fruit and made a salad with it. Everyone is doing the same thing they were a couple weeks ago, except this time what you're hearing has gone through the filter of Tez's brain. It sounds like almost a completely different song now, and a really fun ride at that. Tez is into ambient music, so this touches on that proclivity, too. When all heard it on Christmas day, we decided immediately that we wanted to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it, and Tez enjoyed crafting it into something new.

Red Sun Ambient Remix (Eclectic Collective)

Cover of One Way or Another by Blondie with Fox Chapel Band

Gail - One Way Or Another

"As Tears Go By" was one of the first original compositions by Jagger and Richards, writing credits also include Andrew Loog Oldham, their manager/producer.  The Rolling Stones had chiefly been performing American blues and R&B tunes, so this song was a little out of character for them. Although this song was written in 1964, it was released in late 1965 on the "December's Children" album which is when I first heard it. The Rolling Stones never actually performed this song live until November 2005 on their A Bigger Bang Tour. Mick said that they were "slightly embarrassed" by the song they had written and they gave it to Marianne Faithful who was the first person to record it.

I have listened to a few versions of this song and I honestly have never heard a version which nails it (other than the original mono version). I found something beautiful in this song which I hoped I could release ... in my mind, it is still rather a diamond in the rough. I'm still not absolutely happy with my version either. I still enjoy playing it live and it seems to go over well so I'll pass it along, as is.

As Tears Go By

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by.

[SOLO]

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
Thinking of you
I sit and watch
As tears go by.

[OUTRO]  Hmmm ... hmmm ... hmmm

As Tears Go By (Rolling Stones cover)

Somewhere I read that SoundCloud is the DIY of the music world.  Very true for most of us wannabe (famous) musicians.  For those who were lucky enough to spend years in an actual sound studio, maybe this is a slam dunk. For the rest of us, it's like being the Wright brothers before they fully understood science behind aerodynamics much less get a machine to fly.

I have learned a lot in 2018 thru 2019 while playing at small, local venues.  It's a lot easier to sit back in a "recording studio".  I do put that in quotes since, for me, this is just a couple of microphones connected to a DAW which is connected to a computer with some multi-track software and some free plugins to enhance the finished product.  I believe there are about 5 unique disciplines to learn which include: playing an instrument, singing, doing both together, using a microphone, connecting with the audience.  I have much more respect for stage performers now, especially solo artists. Now, if one adds the discipline of recording engineer, well then, you have a well rounded musical background. 

I do hope that you enjoy some of my tunes.  I'm always happy to hear from listeners who have something meaningful to share, even when it is not particularly flattering or in someway odd.  I'll even try to answer any questions you may have.  Remember that you are never too old nor too young to create and share your music and/or share your knowledge.
