This is a song on which I sing and play pedal steel guitar.  The song is based on a poem by my late aunt:  Pat Brandstetter.  Here is here original poem:

Riding Along
(1994)

Riding along in the car,
Beauty abounds
Wherever you are.
A kaleidoscope of trees 
Tall and green,
A patchwork of 
Lakes large and serene.
The animals look so strong 
And proud from afar.
All this beauty you take in
Riding along in a car.


Riding Along

Hope is in the air — a wind that is fierce enough to lift kites and rattle wind chimes, but gentle enough to free specks caught in a spider’s web. To become windswept is to go with the flow, keeping faith in a good future, and to do what you know to do to make hope come alive.

A neoclassical treatment with a little hip hop beat.

Are You Ok feat. Patricia Edwards

I call to talk but I have nothing to say
I just want to hear your voice
I act like I don’t have a care in the world
And that not being yours was my choice
I wanted to tell you that I can’t stop thinking
Of you, your face, and your ways
But words once spoken can’t be reclaimed
So I play the role of friend instead

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

Your touch is accidental
But it hits like an lightening bolt
My face is a mask, I’ll never show
The feelings you evoke
Are you really not aware
Of the chaos you create
When you’re not here, I’m clear of mind
But one look and I can't think straight

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

I rest my hand on your seat
When I travel alone
You’re a ghost in my days
Presence felt, never shown
Not a chill, but a warmth in my bones
Like a secret, comforting shawl

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

False Friend

Goodbye,BeCareful☠️


There's no sense to run anymore!!
Here in the New World!!
Get in line!! What you running from?!!
This is your life now!!

Hey, hey, hey my darling
I held your place in line
Don't you forget about it
I hope you learn in time

As time begins to pass
The walls begin to slowly blacken your heart🖤
The record spins
The needle drops
It's not the end
It's only the start

Goodbye,BeCareful

I experimented with combining ragtime and blues in this piece and created this hybrid. 

The blues/rag hybrid is in the form of Intro-AA-B-CC-B-A.

The strains A and B are written to be reminiscent of song singing and bridge B is more like an instrumental solo.

I can’t explain it, the way you paint it, you colour between the lines, you gotta love scene in your mind 

I had to see it, wanted to be it, the lover that you design, star in the love scene in your mind

Som en påminnelse. 1035 ( 1994 ) Margareta Theorin - Eddy Mango ( Margareta )

A sad song about Orpheus and Eurydice ...
Vocals: Isabelle
Lyrics: Tuile https://tuile.itch.io/ 

ἔρρωσο (Érrhōso)

Narrow Fields 92 BPM

The third album from Last Days Of Rome is about life, death, videogames and the state of the world in 2025. Sometimes uplifting, sometimes sad, sometimes gentle, sometimes noisy, always melodic and (I think) my finest set of songs to date. Please have listen and decide for yourself!
