What a beautiful song and voice!!🔝🔝🔝💯

"Paroles, Paroles " is a wonderful song which became very popular in the early seventies after DALIDA and Alain DELON  have published their version.
It was also my first song which I performed on the guitar in my life. 
It is for me a very sentimental moment to present this recording now, many years later...

More words,  always words, the same words
Just words, easy words, fragile words,
 It was too beautiful, 
 Well to beautiful,
But the time of dreams is over
Memories also fade when we forget them....

Caramels, candies and chocolates.
Thank you, not for me,
But you may as well offer them to another,
Who loves the wind and the perfume of roses,
For me, tender words covered with softness,
Posed over my mouth, but never over my heart.

Words, words, words.
Words, words, words.
Words, words, words.
Words, words, words, words, words,
Still words that you sow in the wind.

Still words, always words,
The same words.
Magical words, tactical words,
Which sound false
Yes, so false
If you knew how much I wanted,
A little bit of silence.

Caramels, candies and chocolates.
Thank you, not for me,
But you may as well offer them to another,
Who loves the stars over the dunes,
For me, tender words covered with softness,
Posed over my mouth, but never over my heart.

Words, words, .....

Lyrics:
Maybe one day I’ll go sailing
Out on the big blue sea
Where the fishes swim around, going up and down 
Like a fish …….was meant to be

What a lovely way to spend the day 
Just being out there afloat 
And oh what joy to shout ahoy
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go   

Maybe one day I’ll go sailing 
Out on the big blue sea 
Along the coast I could make the most
Of the nautical scenery

What a lovely way to spend a day 
Just being out there afloat 
See a smugglers cove or a treasure trove
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go

Steady As You Go

If I had to choose two or three of my compositions out of all of them, this would be one of them.

Like every composition, this one has a story...or rather two.

The first tells how it was done.

The advantage of making music with an iPad is that you can take your "studio and instruments" anywhere. Thanks to that, I started composing it in France, a country that, as many know, I visit frequently for family reasons.

The main instrument that defines the melody is a bell-type synthesizer and was taken from the defunct Alchemy.

It was 2015 and I was still not able to equalize properly (And I think today, although I have improved, neither).

So in 2019 I decided to improve it, but I discovered that I had accidentally deleted the master.

I didn't know very well what to do and finally decided to recompose it from the beginning, but looking for the most similar sounds on another synthesizer (kv331).

The second story has to do with what I want to convey.

Where I live there is a nursing home. I see the families who come to see the people there.

I remember my grandfather, with whom he spent entire days and showed me all the books he read... I remember it as if it were yesterday (My other grandfather died when I was very young). What I learned most from him was respect and discovering the wonderful stories behind them from which you can learn authentic life lessons.

This composition is for these people who suffer and do not have the love and respect they deserve.

Today I also dedicate it to all these wonderful musicians of a certain age who are in this community and to anyone who suffers for any reason and believes that no one remembers them.

Merry Christmas to all the people.

Paco.

5 Star Commended Entry in the 2024 UK Songwriting Contest
Graham Williams - Vocals, guitars & bass; Katie Gill - Piano; Israel Pereira - Cajón.

I found a demo of this song from 2018 - just a run through for The Peace Band really - recorded on my Tascam DR-05. It was just me on acoustic guitar and vocals with help from Peace Band members Katie Gill on piano and Izzy Pereira on Cajón. I loaded up the recording into Cubase and recorded a new double tracked lead vocal over the top. I then added some backing vocals, electric guitar, bass and strings. There's an ocarina track in there as well. Katie's piano has got a bit lost in the mix unfortunately. I was originally going to record this song from scratch until I came across the demo.

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world into a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,

Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.
Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.

When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know
Rain falls upon the mountains above, makes the rivers flow,
To give this world the magic stroke, all you need is just a little hope,
When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know

Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,
Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so

Heaven On Earth

Heaven On Earth (Graham Williams)

Well, I'm a grandpa now, so I recorded this to celebrate my new status.

DANIEL

Daniel came into this world and made my day.
Snow was falling in Utah so far away.
Hope you'll find there lots of love, and, if you cry,
your dad will sing you lullabies.

Soon you will become a man, and I'll be gone.
I hope you'll find then what it means to have a son.
Will you hold him in your arms, and, if he cries,
will you sing him lullabies?

Someday we may just be names once carved in stone,
and the memories of our birth will all be gone.
Others will comfort their children as they cry.
But will they sing them lullabies?

Daniel

Ich gehe hinein ins Land der Liebe, ich gehe hinein ins Land der Liebe
Dort sehe ich strahlend bunte Farben, die sagen "hey, willkommen, im Land der Liebe"
Hey heya heyana heya, hey heya heyana heya, hey heya, hey heya yana hey

Von dem Kopf bis zu den Zehen umhüllt mich ihr Segen, fließt weiter ins Land der Liebe
Ich begegne vielen Wesen, die mich begleiten, am Weg durchs Land der Liebe
Hey heya heyana heya, hey heya heyana heya, hey heya, hey heya yana hey

Während alles spiraliert und der Luftraum vibriert, sitz ich da und fühl das Land der Liebe
Hey heya heyana heya, hey heya heyana heya, hey heya, hey heya yana hey
