Very atmospheric Rowena. With that picture it took me on an interesting stroll along your beach at dusk!

I love the cover art to this song, made me picture walking the beach at night with my own thoughts about life. Beautiful instrumental that took me on an emotional journey😌

A lovely piece Rowena, love your art picture too..

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

Lyrics
------

Ne t'approche pas trop près de moi
(les dramas c'est pas pour moi)
Je n'aime pas
Je n'aime pas être entourée
par tous ces gens bien intentionnés
qui cherchent à me corriger
me conformer à leurs normes
modifier ma vraie forme
(j'essaie de m'échapper, mais je me fais toujours rattrapper)
les vieux réflexes me laissent perplexe

La vérité c'est que j'aime être entourée
par des gens apaisés
sans combats de guerriers
non je peux plus digérer (gérer)
cette atmosphère de guerre
constante
idiote compétition
envahissante
incessante et persistante
Ne t'approche pas de moi
pour initier un combat
non je ne veux pas
que mon temps serve à ça
fatiguée de lutter
il y'en a si peu
il est si précieux
dépitée de gaspiller

rien ne sert de faire un drame
inutile est ce vacarme
l'expérience est faite
même si c'est une défaite
rien ne sert d'abimer le passé
inutile de vouloir l'effacer
juste avancer

------------------------

Don't get too close to me
(dramas are not for me)
I don't like
I don't like being surrounded
by all these well-meaning people
who try to correct me
to conform to their standards
change my true form
(I try to escape, but I always get caught)
the old reflexes leave me confused

The truth is that I like to be surrounded
by peaceful people
without warrior fights
no I can't digest (manage)
this atmosphere of war
constant
silly competition
invasive
incessant and persistent
Do not approach me
to initiate a fight
no I don't want
my time to be used for that
tired of fighting
there's so little of it
it is so precious
sorry to be wasteful

there's no point in making a mess
it's useless to make a fuss
the experiment is done
even if it is a defeat
there is no point in damaging the past
no point in trying to erase it
just move on

Ne t'approche pas

Ne T'approche Pas (Kaerian & Laar)

Once again, what I cannot properly express with word, I try to express with music.  

I have lost four friends in four months. Death is an inevitable part of life, but too often, those close to us are gone far too soon. I could not be there for any of you; the miles that separated us are too distant and your departure was too sudden.

This is for you, John, Scott, Richard, and Kathy. Go gentle into that good night.

My brother (piano player of many years) suggested to me (self taught piano player of a couple of years) that I should think about introducing a walking base into my left hand when playing.  This piece recorded on my propped up iPhone on the piano is a record of the noodling with the left hand doing more than pressing just the 1st and 5th notes.  Progress!! The photo is Alnmouth beach, Northumberland last night at dusk, also IPhone.

Truly an honor once again to feature Jorg Joerxworx on track.  He always seem to have the missing piece to the puzzle.  Recently sent him a request asking him to do his thing on this track, and man did he deliver. Jorg is a very talented musician who plays a variety of instruments, including the Tenor sax, which I was fortunate enough to have him grace this track with. Thank you Jorg!

Enjoy!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.  I write songs in reaction to life, quite often my own, or the lives of those around me.  Sometimes my song tells me what I'm thinking before I've even realised myself.  
I hope there is something here that resonates with you, I'd be really delighted to hear your comments.  
I started writing and playing again in March 2015 after a break of about 20 years having realised that life is short and I'd better crack on! I self released my 9 track CD 'Your Life' in 2017 and have since written many songs which will eventually end up on a 2nd 'album'!  I’ve had a couple of radio plays on BBC Introducing and played at a few local singers nights, but I’m really blown away by this Soundcloud community,  there’s a treasure trove of real music on here and the support is really appreciated.  
March 2021 update I've been teaching myself keyboard and have found it an inspiration for song writing and so my more recent tracks are written and performed with the piano keyboard.  
First memory of being captured by Songwriting was sitting behind a sofa aged 10 at a party and discovering Carol King’s Tapestry and a turntable. Teenage years dominated by an obsession with David Bowie, his word craft, imagery, story telling and his example of being able to constantly reinvent himself and not be pigeonholed. 
All tracks are my own compositions and performances except extra rhythm guitar and percussion on ‘Doing Time’ which was Carl Hetherington. 
Most of the images I have used are my own original artwork.  I now have an Instagram page where I’ll be posting my art at rowenaartandmusic

Thanks for stopping by, it’s much appreciated.
