Première chanson. Our first song

Translation:
CAFFEINE
You promised me a coffee,
An espresso close to you,
A lungo by your side,
And sleepless nights in your embrace.
And thanks to you, caffeine,
Adrenaline, and insomnia
Took on a paradise-like air,
Of happy days, of blessed times.
I'm more a fan of Chinese tea,
but I’d gladly be converted
To the pleasures of caffeine,
To all the charms of Italy.
You promised me a coffee,
And countless sugary delights,
So many treats to savor,
Your voice to keep me warm.
Because of you, caffeine,
With bold and intimate aromas,
Fills my heart with memories,
And every night now I sigh.
I'm more a fan of Chinese tea,
but I’d gladly be converted
To the pleasures of caffeine,
To all the charms of Italy.
You promised me a coffee,
An espresso close to you,
A lungo by your side,
And sleepless nights in your embrace.
Now my nights are nothing but
Synonyms for sadness and insomnia;
Those coffees, that caffeine –
Your invitation, I decline.
I'm more a fan of Chinese tea,
I no longer wish to be converted
To the pleasures of caffeine –
Gone are the charms of Italy.

01 - Cafeine (with translation)

(Verse 1)
In the land where the mountains rise
Underneath the stormy skies
With the winds that howl like ancient ghosts
We gather strong, we are the hosts
With our hearts entwined in loyalty
Brothers and sisters, wild and free
Through the frost and fierce, unyielding cold

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

(Verse 2)
From the fjords to the forests deep
Through the trials and secrets we keep
With the thunder rolling from our battle cries
We'll forge our destiny, we’ll touch the skies
With a sword in hand and pride in our stance
We’ll dance with the flames, we’ll take our chance

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

(Solo)

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

Warriors From The North

Another first-timer: We'd been working on this for a while, but didn't have proper lyrics yet. At this gig in Freiburg we gave it an improvised try for the first time in public. I was sort of mumbling and improvising lyrics on the spot and the overall arrangement was pretty loose... but hey, we had fun! Jeff on vibraphone and Hammond, Stuart on drums, Raymond on bass. The recording was done on cassette tape through one mike, hence the lack of sound quality... I also should add that this is from 1973 - more than half a century ago!

"Take Back The Days" is about reflecting on some of the choices we made in life. Some were good and some were bad.... If you had the chance again would you have done things differently?

Niebla y neón: distopía

Hoy la niebla no permite ver
el paseo por el cielo azul
que dará el sol y nos roba ese placer.
Sin embargo nos regalará
una estampa de secreta luz
singular en la inmensidad.

Estribillo

No existe la verdad ni la seguridad
la certeza ya no está y todo es dudar.
En esa desazón hay una excepción
que nos guiará en la inquietud: las luces de neón.
---------------
El sol se ve en la prisión
y sin cumplir con su misión
sigue con fe peleando
pero no está alumbrando.

Pues la noche pronto va a caer
y la bruma todo cubrirá
hasta que por fin surja un nuevo amanecer.
Mientras tanto hay que descubrir
lo que el ciclo nos deparará

Estribillo

Fog and Neon: Dystopia

Today, the fog prevents us from seeing
the sun's journey through the blue sky
and robs us of that pleasure.
However, it will give us
a glimpse of secret light
unique in the immensity.

Chorus

There is no truth or security
certainty is no longer there, and everything is doubt.
In this unease, there is one exception
that will guide us through our anxiety: the neon lights.
---------------
The sun sees itself in prison
and, without fulfilling its mission,
it continues to fight with faith
but it is not shining.

For night will soon fall
and the fog will cover everything
until a new dawn finally emerges.
In the meantime, we must discover
what the cycle will bring us

A song about the inevitable, we all face it.

My Mortality

This is a song I had to write . My wife of 30 years Gill has a rare condition which has made me her main carer , we used to be party people , but sadly that is no more . Going out is such an effort as she has lost the sense of balance , there is no cure , and it's getting worse !
So I do music when I can slot it in around caring for Gill , but I love her and I will continue to care for her , hence the song title ! But on the plus side we do laugh a lot , we always have .
Phew , that's the sad stuff out of the way ! Next up is me and Kim with a dark gothic rocker closely followed by me , Dave Cooper and Axel Menningen with a country classic , then me and Gaz Brownie with a belter , and loads more to follow !
Thank you so much for listening , it means the world to me !

[Verse] I see your eyes they hold the weight The storms you face the hours late But here I stand through thick and thin I'll hold you close let love begin

[Verse 2] Your hands are tired your heart is worn Through every trial we’ve been torn But I won't let the shadows stay I'll light your path I'll clear the way

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

[Verse 3] The days are long the nights are cold But every story’s worth being told I’ll carry you through every test You’re my heart and I’ll give my best

[Bridge] Even when the skies turn gray Even when hope feels far away I’ll stay steady I’ll stay true Every step I’ll walk with you

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

Care For You

Dragonfly

Ein Lied vom Weitergehen –
dorthin, wo keine Grenzen mehr sind.
Jenseits der Ufer erzählt vom Frieden,
der entsteht, wenn man aufhört, festzuhalten.
Tiger und Adler stehen nicht mehr gegenüber –
sie fließen ineinander,
werden Licht und Atem,
werden eins mit dir.
Kein Abschied.
Nur das stille Wissen,
dass alles verbunden bleibt.

Tiger und Adler – Part 26: Jenseits der Ufer

Secret Victory

Music is my therapy, its my release from past military trauma. Its never been about fame or fortune for me, just sharing some spark of hope in the world.  Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.
