POCKETFUL OF LIES … words and music by DOUG ROOSSIEN
We all got a story … so I’ve been told
Met an old street poet sat outside a dive I used to know
He strummed his old guitar looked straight into my eyes
He started to cry , I asked him, why
I could see the regret, the pain, the words written on his face
The sad chords of the song of the life that he had played
I listened to his song as he told me this
the story that was his

I was born a young man Missed my childhood, so it seemed
Lived too many years behind the shadows I believed
Damn I wasted memories on a pocketful of dreams
That were lies

Had no Kings or Aces not one face card to my name
Walked around in circles no directions to the games
Every roll of dice…another snake eyes … who’s to blame
Guess that’s life … The house … The house wins again…
the only thing they left me, was a pocket, A pocketful of lies

Pocket full of lies didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise
Thought that I was living, but I been… wastin’ all my time
Guess it took this lifetime, to appreciate the loss …gone…gone

He told me …Every word I whisper has taste of poet’s truth
Lived too far in life’s charade…for me to lie to you
Listen or you don’t ... decide this on your own
But for me
The house …always wins
Only thing they left me, was a pocket, A pocketful of lies

Pocket full of lies he didn’t see the devil’s sweet disguise
Thought He’d been living, he’s been… wastin’ all his time
GUESS IT TOOK HIS LIFETIME TO APPRECIATE THE LOSS…
GONE …GONE
Only thing they left him, was a pocket, A pocketful of lies

Was able to record this recently released song with my voice through a few friends including @tevecarborough who recorded and mixed my my voice over the existing track. which my friend Russell Laing separated for me

POCKETFUL OF LIES (A poets life version)

Live Reflexion#005

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on frozen ground
And I've never told you
How good it feels to grow old with you

The night is cold and hard as steel
But you and I will never feel
The silent night the shivering morning
This burning ember heats our home

Its all above
An icy wind. A burning sun
And I’ve never told you
How good it feels to come home to you

The night is ours. It’s short but sweet 
And desperate hours before the week
A daily grind a cold design
This burning ember heats our home

So cry out
What's wrong with the world?
Why can’t they see
Things like you and me?

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on golden ground
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to have grown old with you?

The night is hard and cold as steel 
But you and i will never feel
The hardened heart, the cold of shoulder
This burning ember heats our home

It's All Around

this is a demo of a song that visited me this morning, i thought i’d get it down before it went home......cheers for having a listen

Never won the lottery
Didn’t win the raffle prize
Didn’t win at all the games
But I think I might have won
Ooh I won this time

Oh souls like yours
They don’t grow on trees
And now I feel
I’m as lucky as can be

Didn’t always get the part
Didn’t always make them smile
Didn’t always win the prize
But I think I might have won
Ooh I won this time

Chorus

Ooh you won first place...

GROW ON TREES...

Was sooo lovely to sing this gorgeous track by my lovely Sander yesterday! We hope you enjoy our latest DnB offering. 
@wane-of-summer for more awesome music. 😊❤️🎶🎵🎧🎼💕

THROUGH THE NIGHT (Wane Of Summer and Annie Smart)

"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...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(I tried to sing with Dalida´s French accent)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.
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, .....

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness
========================

風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない


たたずむ　今日もあれ　見えない距離
やがてこの地上も　雪の音を　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり　音無し　路に置かれ

今年も　また　ひとつ
歳は　離れ



祈る言葉さえ　どこ吹く風
やがてこの地上も　雪の音だけ　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった


ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness

LYRICS: 

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

You were the melody
And I was the harmony
You were a symphony
And I was the leading beat

You were the band
And I was a fan
Then you walked walked away
From my open hand

Cos this is a song
For the artist's way
This is a song
To know it will be okay
We are the art
And the road on which art is made

This is a song for the girl
Who turned my head
Caught my eye
Now she's all alone
In the spotlight

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

My shift has ended and I'm at home.
I've ascended and my mind is free to roam.
I've no direction. Pick up my phone
and call you up 'cause I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Girl, I need you here all the time.
I always have since the day you became mine.
With you I have no fears. You ease my mind.
And every time I think of you, you send shivers down my spine.
I'm in love.
With you, I'm happy 
and exactly in the place I need to be.
I was made for you and you for me.
Yeah...it's cliche, but, hey, at least the phrase is free.
Girl, I need you here all the time.
I always have since the day you became mine.
With you I have no fears. You ease my mind.
And every time I think of you, you send shivers down my spine.
I'm in love.
My shift has ended and I'm at home.
I've ascended and my mind is free to roam.
I've no direction. Pick up my phone
and call you up 'cause I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Please come home.

Why do you always look so
sad about the future.
Why can't you forgive yourself
for things you did before?

Cause nobody promised you
this life would be that easy.
Someone so blue like you
will always ask for more.

But I... couldn't settle the score.
And I... couldn't follow, couldn't follow you anymore.

Well maybe the world around you
bent around you easy.
But baby you'll never learn to
bend along with things.

Someone so blue has never
been outside the city.
Someone like you has never
felt the way life stings.

But I... wouldn't settle the score
And I... couldn't follow, couldn't follow anymore.

Solo

So you can be blue like you
and leave without believing.
Wherever you go you'll never
be... here.

Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.
Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.
Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.

And I'll be off livin' all my days...
believing...
Never thinkin' about those times again...

Someone So Blue

Nenad Jović composed and played "Guitar Dialogue(Guitar solo)(https://soundcloud.com/user-442202241/guitar-dialogue?si=810f0e65b292499bb34b43defa269f4d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)," which struck me as beautiful. I love his soothing and soulful originals. I aligned a poem I had written with the tune and recorded it. Permission from him to make it public here was granted. Jović's music can be found at:  soundcloud.com/user-442202241. He is a brilliant guitarist and composer. Thank you for listening!

A graduate story

In my early years I took piano lessons, regretfully I stopped them in my teens. I've always had a piano in the house and over the years have composed a number of songs (without words). What’s important to me is the melodic nature of the pieces and I wanted to share them with others. The origins of the music are probably influenced by my early classical lessons, Chopin and Schubert to name a couple. I love Liszt’s Hungarian and Rachmaninoff’s Russian styles but sadly my technical ability hampers the inclusion of their techniques.
Today’s home recording software allows many opportunities to develop compositions using other instruments to compliment the piano however, using the software has been a challenge, trying to get the “right” sound for the piano has been the most difficult part of the process. I’m slowly learning and will probably remix some of my current tracks as my experience grows.
Once I have recorded my heritage pieces, I plan to write a new selection of music predominantly piano but also experimenting with more or different instruments, watch this space!
Thank you for listening and commenting on my compositions and for the reposts, please don’t hesitate to offer constructive criticism, it could speed up the learning process.
Best Wishes,
Chris Cummins
