Name: Take Me To The Riverside (Version 2) by Russell B. Anthony
Duration: 2 min 48 s
Description: Slow chill

Day is done and I’m coming home, – think happy thoughts to lessen my load, clench my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road, take a side street because I need some time, to create a smile that isn’t mine, I’m pulling up an hey I’m doing fine, aside from losing my shine. Did you notice that tear in my eye, was hoping that you’d ask me why,  so much to tell you about my day, well maybe it’s just better this way
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
I have seen the worst of everyone – and it’s made me positively numb – March to the beat of someone else’s drum – was always trying to be just someone – take a side street cause I need some time – to create a smile that isn’t mine – I’m pulling up and I’m doing fine Except I’ve lost that shine
Did you notice that this wasn’t me? do you think about who we used to be?  Do you have a heart or has it gone to hell? trust me woman this man can tell – I’ve hid away for far too long – Let me break it out here in this song – I was not the only one who was wrong, will I ever find a place where I belong 
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me  
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
Day is done and I’m coming home – think happy thoughts to lessen my load – clench ,my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road

To the Heavens

Ik Laat Je Gaan

Ik hoor bij jou
Jij hoort bij mij
Dat spookt in mijn gedachten
Ik voel je hier
Heel dicht bij mij
Ik wil eeuwig op je wachten
Maar ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen, mijn toekomstplannen
De liefde zal blijven voortbestaan
Dat kunnen wij toch niet verbannen

Ja ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen, mijn toekomstplannen
De liefde zal blijven voortbestaan
Dat kunnen wij toch niet verbannen

Maar k denk aan jou
Denk jij aan mij?
Ik laat je gaan
Ik ben klaar met wachten
Jij bent niet hier
Ik ben niet bij jou
Het zijn maar mijn gedachten
Ja ik weet
Ik moet je laten gaan
Mijn wensen en mijn dromen
Mijn visies en mijn plannen
Het zal er vast wel nooit van komen

Maar ik hoor bij jou
Jij hoort bij mij
Dat spookt in mijn gedachten
Ik voel je hier
Heel dicht bij mij
Kijk mij nu maar jou smachten
Maar ik laat jou gaan

Composed & produced by Mirjam Keijnemans

Ik Laat Je Gaan

These vocals nearly killed me, more of a songwriter than a singer. Next song I write might only have a 3 step range!...Dementia, Alzheimer's is a terrible reality for so many. I wrote the first verse from the perspective of the afflicted one and the second verse from the caregiver’s . The cover art is being created before I release on the streamers in early 2025, but here it is for meySoundClouders. I promise, the next song will be a more joyful tune...I hope!

Falling

Give in

Are you awake?
It doesn’t matter anyway
I pull the brake
It’s neither Monday nor the lord’s day

Pretty little thoughts
Surrounded by knots
Bombshells and fears 
Crowded people that cheers
Is it time to give in?
Watch the others spin?

I think you’re awake
Does it all make sense?
I think we release the brake
It’s for our own defence
I have no faith in the politics
Nevermind, it was a joke
But I’m afraid of the reaper
And I think we’re broke

Give in

I wanted to create something simple and special. This is not exactly a Christmas song, but since it became ready during Holiday season, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Holiday video as well. Hope you enjoy it!
