as always great vocals, wonderful production

How'd I miss this?  Fantastic guitar arrrangement and sound!! Great vocal climax on the bridge Sam. I've been asking this question a long time

Very unique style, love it! I'm singing along the "How do I change" part! :)

Nice work.  Strong production and arrangement.

Dick sent me this great instrumental long ago, full of details and different sections. I was too busy then, now I've enjoyed working on it at last !!

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

Slow Times by Killed Monk Music

Without patience without time
Can't sustain this can't unwind
One last time for old withdrawal 
Lash the mast it’s curtain call

How do I change?

Curse the failure curse the past
Curse the dirt that holds you back
It clings on tight the more you run
You are now your father’s son

How do I change?

Build my bridge of steal and stone
Childproof matches impulse prone
Antifreeze in something sweet
Pass the night in blissful sleep

How do I change?

How Do I Change?

DEEP DOWN (acoustic piano & vocals)

Scotty: guitar, lyrics, vocals
Tommy: bass

Why can't I get any peace of mind?
Something crushing happens each time
happiness comes my way.
It is never here to stay. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

I'm beat down, broken and terrified
yet I carry on somehow and take it in stride. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

Something crushing happens every time
That I think I've achieved peace of mind...

The Game

Raffinésse

Original song inspired by the question what if someone like David Bowie never found his way to his muse. How many wonderful gifts remain in the hearts of their creators never to be seen by the world?

Lyrics
He wears a suit that never fit him and it's sad to say it fits him worse now
He has no clue of how to change it so he silently puts it on every day
He used to think his life would burn so brightly Now he tells himself what a joke he really is
Still a voice cries from deep within Come on Man I’ve always been here

He wears a suit that never fit him and the world just shrugs
Another mumbling voice in the wilderness against this world’s din
How can we fight for every square inch of land but for our own people not give a damn
Still even with all odds against it beauty finds a way to shines

How can we calculate the loss when a wildflower never blooms
How can we measure the loss of a genius that the world never knew

He wears a suit that never fit him and I hope he finds his way out
Cause there are empty places in our psyche waiting for his touch
Let’s pray he finds his way through the maddening maze to the place where his muse waits  
So that we can find one more place to rest in this parched land of ours

SONG NOTES and LYRICS:
I wrote this song about an imaginary character born and raised on the Mississippi, growing up to be a music man. It's not based on anybody real, but is a kind of tribute to all (blues) musicians down the ages, who have developed their own style of playing and have become admired by future generations. I was inspired to learn to play the guitar listening to great guitar players and fascinated by their ability to simultaneously play a bass line, percussive rhythm and melody, while singing at the same time. (For guitar players interested in how this song is played, it is capo'd at the first fret and played in Bflat, using the thumb on the left hand to play bass notes while stretching fingers 3 and 4 for hammer-ons.). Hope you like it!

They named him Mississippi
That’s where he was born and found
Raised by the crew of a steamboat
Never did like his feet on solid ground 
Could have grown up to be a gambler
But he’d seen where the money goes
So he just played the blues
And watched the river flow

So Mississippi he became a music man
His hat tilted to one side
He wore a watch chain in his waistcoat 
And a twinkle in his eye 
Those gamblers liked to buy him a whiskey
So he’d smile on the dice they’d throw
As he’d play them the blues
And watch the river flow

Now they say down in Mississippi
When you’re riding on the river at night
That if you raise up your glass of whisky
There’s a chance that you just might
Hear the sound across the water 
From the deck of that old paddle boat 
As he plays the blues 
And watches the river flow

Mississippi

This is actually a remix of the song “Where We Want To Be” which I shared about four years ago when I first joined Soundcloud.   “Winter's Road” was in fact the original title when the song was written.  So I decided to fall back to that with this remix.   See what you think.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
I cannot speak for all who stem
Long road less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
By words they spoke and did not say.

(Chorus)
All roads lead to where we go
Where we go is where we have been,
So home’s just a word we know,
For where we want to be again.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

Repeat Chorus

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is gonna to be
Another road or just a place.

Repeat Chorus

Winter's Road

I usually share quite personal songs with you . In a certain manner that s the case for that one too . But the one's who s talking to you here is an 8 years old Franky boy. Every time someone asked him"what will you do with your life in the future ?" , he just answered : I'll be a magician , of course !
The old guy just lends his voice and plays a few stuffs here and there. 
Of course this is not a "serious" song , but many artists currently post their summer songs , and i've never composed a summer song . So here's my first try !

Magician

Even as a little child, people ask you 
what you want to be when you grow up
but really when you think about it, it's a strange thing 
to ask a child that 
I want to answer the question 
but give me time... 
and one and two and three and ... 

I would like to be a magician 
to make doves appear in my hands 
I would like to be a magician 
to make the tears disappear from my mates' eyes

now that I am grown up 
they still ask me
what I do with my life 
my projects my desires
so I say to myself, here we go 
here it comes again
it's true I don't like it 
but if you want to know 
I've always had this dream since I was a kid 
so give me a chance 

I would like to be a magician 
to make scarves and rabbits appear from a hat
I would like to be a magician 
to make doubts and sorrows disappear from your heart 

I would like to be a magician 
to write in golden letters in the sky 
a hope for tomorrow
