You look a bit like a young Phil Keaggy a kid I grew up with in Pittsburgh and Ohio

This is extremely well written, arranged, and performed! Just love it!

Has a modern classic feel, in fine voice and performance Robert!

A fine lyric and performance Robert! Nicely done!

LYRICS:
Stones in my pockets, dragging me down.
Got to reach the riverbank before I drown
I'm wading through water, it's deep and it's brown.
I've got stones in my pockets
Dragging me down, down, down.

I'm spinning my wheels
Driving on sand
Don't seem to move forwards,
And I can't understand.
I had gold, I had silver but they slipped right through my hands.
I'm spinning my wheels
I'm driving on quicksand.

   Politics and preachers, dividends and deeds.
   I'm sickening slowly with the modern disease.
   I don't belong here, I'm down on my knees.
   Somebody help me, help me please.

I'm walking in circles, drifting around
Tell me where I come from, tell me where I'm bound
And the dreams I've been chasing have been run into the ground.
I'm walking in circles
Spinning around.
Stones in my pocket
Dragging me down.
Stones in my pocket
Dragging me down, down, down, down, down.

Metafor

123 Soleil

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

The end of the world (Cover-Skeeter Davis)

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth

Sick As A Dog - Aerosmith cover

“Bird song'' is a song from my first album''Follow in my Eyes''
Original song is written ,played, sang by Chihiro MATSUMOTO. 
This version is arranged  by JEEM @phoenixz-1-299253742 
The original version is a simple acoustic song ( just only my guitar and vocal),but this version is much more spiritual and powerful by his arrangement
( especially rhythmic and ambient element)
I feel his sound colour is very clear blue. 
I and JEEM will be happy if you would comment how you feel .
Thank you so much for listening from us two!

lyrics
(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now at the heaven's door all alone
( I )can't see....
No voices....
just another day in the dream

(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now ,feeling your love
Life is good
In my life, just another day in the dream

Everything for me
You can do to stay with
The rain is coming for now
Cos' every fire
we can do to try''end''
let me know it's gone
Everything for me
And I know to say''I do''
I let you go  ... I let you go

Birdsong (collab. with JEEM)

I'm a songwriter, guitarist and singer in that order. I play some bass, keys and drums too. I have been writing and recording songs for most of my life and what you hear on my profile is a selection of my work over the years. 

My songs are a mix of autobiographical and storytelling. I write about family, life and happenings in the wider world.  


COMMUNITY
I genuinely appreciate anybody taking the time to listen and comment. I really make an effort to listen, comment and repost back. 

Thanks for listening! Robert.
