CITY OF DREAMS
I met you on the Roof
of the Roosevelt Hotel.
I threw a coin
into your wishing well.

Took the elevator
to penthouse 
number ten,
saw you from the balcony,
wanted to be friends.

Swimming in the fountain
at Washington Square.
I didn't recognize you,
you had changed your hair.

The dealers deal,
the children skate,
living in the shadow 
of the Empire State.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

We said goodbye 
in Puertorican-Chinese.
I'm on Eighth Avenue
down on my knees.

The wail of the siren,
the roar of the train,
you said goodbye,
it'ill never be the same.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

City of Dreams (a NYC story)

Hold another matter
Make the hand reveal the sound of all
Destruction
Chock the wheels on the progress of the
Function 
Of fools 
And foils
Or the toils 
Of stupid men or
Reason
With the seasons of the
Will of mother nature

Make the light delight the gods
We’ve left discarded on the pile of 
History
Lift them of the burden of their
Misery
Replace the mystery 
Of their power
Over men that seek the knowledge
Of creation
That reach ever farther from their proper
Station
In the cupboard of the lord

Look up at the shinning sun 
Exploding for a time beyond all logic
We make believe we understand
The infinite
The shape
Of the world
Of the stars that we will never see
In person
An equation for the total of creation
This cupboard of the lord

Mumbling In The Cupboard Of The Lord

Castaway Love:
 
When everything seems far away,
We’ve been driving for miles
We need a place to stay,
I feel like I’ve lost my way
 
From everything
and all that I know
 
I feel your eyes getting heavy,
So I’ll take the wheel,
Let you rest easy,
See the sunrise and the beauty
Is all around,
Wait and see…
 
When you’re there,
and the smile
With the sun on your face
and the water,
Reflects us.
And the sea,
When it chases the sand,
Then you hold my hand
and you tell me 
It’s all for us
 
Castaway Love…
Castaway Love…
Love… 
Love…for us...
 
Waking up in the 
Paradise way,
With the sound of the waves
We watch the dolphins play,
Taking in the deep azure-blue bay
Forever in my heart, that’s where we’ll stay
 
When we’re there and you smile,
with the sun on your face
and the water reflects us,
And the sea, when it chases the sand
Then you hold my hand
Tell me it’s all for us.
 
Castaway Love,
Castaway love…
 
And then we see the sunset
Just around dusk
At night the stars 
They light up the 
World for us
and we belong,
We’ve found our home,
as we are castaway
 
Love…
Castaway Love 
Castaway….love
Love…love

Castaway Love- GMaks Feat. Ren Faye

BIRDS OF PARADISE - SHORT TALES PART III

In this third edition of short musical tales for three acoustic guitars, exploring furthermore on the possibilities of using multiple acoustic guitars , I am again letting the inspiration take me, free from fixed form or styles, but of course infused with music that has lived with me my entire life. You'll hear Latin, Jazz, Flamenco, Fusion, Blues, Classical and more.  Shout out to the free thinkers and the open minded...

I regularly get questions about my acoustic guitar technique, so I will elaborate here: In this track I play everything in fingerpicking style, plucking the strings with my right hand using my nails and part of the fleshy fingertips to create the sounds. I mute the stings sometimes by placing my handpalm on the strings and plucking with the fingertips, or I will rest my right hand pinky on the strings and play with thumb, index and second finger. No plectrum here, although I love that sound and way of playing too, as you will hear in other pieces of mine.

As always I really appreciate you listening and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares. ;)

Birds of Paradise | Short Tales Part III | Dan van den Berg

On November 11th Canadians take time to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today.  This hymn was composed with respect and gratitude to these men and women.

Hymn to the Fallen

This track starts ominously but soon lightens up with a slightly haunting  strings and horn theme. 

It's taken from Lockdown Jam 3, recorded on the 27th of April 2020, using the wonderful work of @idin-samimi-mofakham, @martyna-kosecka and Michael Vallone (@taraexperiment) as source material for our improvised manipulations!

I made a sound-driven animation (audio visualization) for this track, watch it here:

 and follow me on youtube if you like it!

This track is inspired by the blade runner universe, a deep and dark atmosphere with a touch of something ethnic going on. I used several layers of synths to convey a truly cinematic mood. Thanks for listening!
