I sampled the beautiful sounds of this English Wren in London, and added it to a song I've been writing that is called " Escape It All " 🙌
Thanks, to @lawrencechatton for capturing the video and sounds.

Escape It All

Hear is an experimental remix ( done by me ) of an original song I wrote and recorded on a Tascam 4 track cassette recorder in the early 1990s. What a trip. I hope you listen to it, and enjoy it. Cheers.

🎼 Find Your Way  🎼 

By Rob Hasenwinkle

Find Your Way

Did you have a safe hiding space for when you needed if home became scary?

Do you still have that safe spot?

Are you safe now?

Laundry Basket ( lyrics )

First Verse:
When I was young and life was scary family abuse and the booze 
I needed to go hideaway to ease my angst and my blues 
I would find a safe spot where no one new
Underneath my laundry there was peace there too

I found my sanctuary in my laundry basket
Underneath my laundry I felt safe and sound
You should come and join me in my laundry basket
We can hideaway and feel safe and sound 

No one around, can’t hear a sound, nowhere to be found


Chorus:

Safe … and … Sound
Can’t ... be … found 
Safe … and … Sound
Won't ... be ... Found

I still wish I could calm them down 


2nd Verse:

When we were young and life was scary family abuse and the booze 
We needed to go hideaway to our angst and my blues 
We would find a safe spot where no one new
Underneath my laundry there was peace there too

We found my sanctuary in my laundry basket
Underneath my laundry we felt safe and sound
You should come and join us in my laundry basket
We can hideaway and feel safe and sound 

No one around, can’t hear a sound, nowhere to be found

Chorus:

Safe … and … Sound
Can’t ... be … found 
Safe … and … Sound
Won't ... be ... Found

I still wish I could calm them down

Laundry Basket

My all original track called " Convalescence " ( which means to regain strength ) 
I wrote it about my healing journey in my recovery.

Convalescence ( lyrics ) 

( intro ) 

Please Tell Me - Why have our lives become so ...
Superstitious and Suspicious
Life's become so hard and vicious
Hear I swim with all these fishes
They look at Me Like I'm Delicious!
In their eyes are evil wishes
Everything here feels so tough and malicious.

I need to breathe in the air ... but I don't know where it is
I'm gonna break through the surface, and stay where the bliss is yah yah yah

( 1st verse ) 

Now I know what this life's become
We're all so inside, too long inside ... ( but )
My heart keeps beating like a pounding drum
It says you wanna fly, you know you really should fly ( And so I'm gonna )
Heal from all of the pain that's within
It's gonna take some time... time's the best medicine
And when I'm free from this pain at last...
I'm gonna say goodbye ... to the painful past...

( chorus ) 

It's alright I'm alright alright alright
It's alright I'm alright ... I am the light
It's alright I'm alright ... I am the light.
It's alright you all are the light too

( 2nd verse )

Now I know Me I'm not so numb...
I've got a light inside, burning on and strong and
It's in the melody lines and the Chords that I Strum...
It's in each and every part ... or every SONG ... I Write.
Now I'm free from these chains and I'm undone
Each and every day... is like lying in the Sun yeah...
One more thing that I've got to say ...
I now realize ... it was someone else's war ... someone else's war ...
I know that I've already easily WON ... Yeah Yeah... :)

( bridge ) 

The Change is On - I've Convalesced yes I'm blessed I must confess mama
The Change is On - Convalescence is Hear...
The Change is On - I've Convalesced yes I'm blessed I must confess papa
The Change is On - I've Peace of Mind No Fear...
The Change is On - I've Convalesced yes I'm blessed I must confess sista
The Change is On - Benevolence not queer.
The Change is On - I've Convalesced yes I'm blessed I must confess brother
The Change is On - Convalescence is Hear... Convalescence is Hear...

( bridge outro? not sure ) 

I'm no bastard I was born My fathers Son Not so long ago and I'm Still the Shining One 
( background vocals harmonized ) " And every day I'm in the Sun "

I felt sorry for my father and his Wilted soul... Misery overtook his need for control
He made his choices to listen to his voices ... he stayed sick, and I Stay the Healthy One 
( background vocals harmonized ) " And it's his own War I've Easily WON - So I said... "

Take a Long Trip to the Open Sea ... You will find yourself there Just Like ME
( background vocals harmonized ) " Just like I DID ... Just Like I DID "

Lying in the sand with the Waves and the Stars Look Up to the Milky Way and There You ARE ... 
( background vocals harmonized ) " You're a Star ... Were all STARS... "

( 3rd verse - song outro ) 

Hear I lie ... on the ground ... feel the Earth below Me so Safe and Sound.
Basking in the Sun Warm Bright and Round
Feeling SO ALIVE ... And SO Unwound ... :)

Open High Skies ( instrumental )

What you hear in this original song I wrote is actually just the raw recordings of the bass and all of 4 guitar parts of the completed ( so far ) song I wrote and recorded called " The Tearing Apart " 

 ( I did make it brighter and then I mastered it. ) 

https://robhasenwinkle.bandcamp.com/track/the-tearing-apart-new-stuff-added

I found the files by accident, when I was searching for the finished session files ( and folder ) of the finished production of this song.

I could not find the folder for Tearing Apart ( as completed so far ) and began to feel a wave of anxiety and confusion, thinking I might have deleted them all by accident I began to feel panic. 

Soon, while searching for them, I found this folder ( with the name New Drop D thing ) and remembering The Tearing Apart  is in the key of D ( drop D ) I opened it to hear what was in it.

What you hear in this track is what I found in that folder. All of my original raw ( no fx ) bass and guitar recordings, and my heart lifted back up into my chest. 

I still cannot find the folder of the files of the completed song The Tearing Apart, but ... I love to hear this ... and will keep faith that the completed folder might just show up somewhere else on my PC or in my drives. 

One of those nights that seemed to strangely transition from that " twilight zone " effect to a sudden feeling of relief and gratitude and ... pride! 🙏

This Track recorded in the Early '90's on a cassette Tascam 4 Track is a reasonable example of what I write like on an Electric Guitar Currently! Style wise I'm I'm a Much different Player and Writer Nowadays as I'm Mostly writing on an Acoustic and Including Vocals and Lots of Melody, With a Very Progressive Chordal Changes, and Impelling Lyrics! - There are Lyrics and Vocals for this track now but not yet Currently Recorded!

Please Enjoy!
