Home recorded on July 2016, Voa Sar Cambodia

All the rivers, flow back to the sea
Since long before, you married me
Oh, how gracious you are
To be near me no matter, how far

Sometimes I hear you voice in my ear
Telling me no need  to fear
Oh, so many years
We've shared all joy and tears

Chorus
Now that you've gone away
While i have to stay
Feels like there's no more tomorrow
no night nor day
This old world turns on
till its over and done
Then we will be together as one

The truth still surrounds me,
it blinds me to see
Can't hold on to something,
that isn't near me
Oh, then your light shines on me
To guide me across the sea

Instrumental

Bridge
And when i feel, there's nothing left to loose,
I call your name
I reach for the heavens, the eternal candle flame
which  you became

Chorus
Now that you've gone away
While i have to stay
Feels like there's no more tomorrow
no night nor day
This old world turns on
till its over and done
Then we will be together, be together as one
Then we will be together as one eternal flame

Together As One

The music I compose has an influence of the Eagles, Eric Clapton, Bløf and a touch of the Beatles. I record these in my home studio with Macbook Pro, Taylor and Ibanez guitars and a Samson condenser large diaphragm microphone, two small large diaphragm microphones, sure sm58 and with a great DAW (Reaper). I don't like a too polish sound. The way i record is simply: One track = one take. All little 'Slip of the Finger' remains unpolished and audible.
