I wrote this song back in 1984 when I was dating my now wife. I was a bit of a clumsy, nervous boyfriend, which gave rise to this song. The recording you hear is from August 2024 but it is almost an exact replica of the original song with only the addition of a full 'band'. I sing all vocals, bass, hand claps - only the drums and rhythm guitars are auto-generated. EDIT: This is the December 2025 remix where I swapped out my acoustic guitars for rhythm guitars.

Nervous

In Eternity (2024-2025)

If there's all the time in eternity
I'll smooth my jaggedness and learn
from my past while I yearn
to be ready when you return.
If I am cursed, I repeat my mistakes
and you haven't changed, still causing me ache
we promise each other a brighter start
and keep on dreaming when we drift apart.

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

What if there's no time in eternity
would I live in infinite regret
chances missed, can't forget
heartbreaks woven into a net.
if I am blessed, we will hover in love 
and you'll always be my peaceloving dove
in eternal embraces and endless fun
would they be just for the chosen ones?

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

The beauty of chance encounters
and the falling for casual gestures
are they solace I crave
or wounds abyss can't erase?
in eternity, in eternity.

In Eternity

Birds

I am way out of my comfort zone while trying something new like this. This is my most ambitious song attempt to date so I hope you let me know what you think, good or bad. 

Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the following Swam instruments:
double bass, oboe, bassoon, French horns 1+2, trumpets 1+2 as well as a Kontakt bass track, the glissando harp and the Sforzando strings. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks using my sound sources. 



Opus Number One

An emotional song about a woman longing for the family Christmases of the past.

Song about the struggle of the common man

聖夜(イヴ)の恋人たち
（作詞　シマアサネ　作曲　足立成樹）

舞い散る雪に　せかされるように
駅までの道を　急ぐふたり

サファイアの空に　光咲く木々に
肩先に白く　天使の羽根

幼い恋は　こんなにも甘い
ぎこちなく夢を　手探りする

愛しくて　嬉しくて
癒(い)えなくて　切なくて
こんなにも　近いのに
いつもひとり

これでおやすみ　あしたまた会える
握った指先　凍えている

ふるえてる心　伝えたい気持ち
星屑になって　風に飛んで

見上げた梢　ひそやかにとまる
きよらかな鐘が　響く夜に

聖夜の恋人たち (Cover by suno AI)

J'ai écrit les paroles de cette ballade jazz. J'en ai composé la musique et fait les arrangements avec Band-in-a-Box et EZkeys 2. La voix provient de Suno AI. Une voix naturelle serait la bienvenue pour l'interprétation...

Si je pouvais être invisible
Juste en claquant des doigts
Tout deviendrait alors possible
J’aurais toujours le choix
J’ai beau claquer des doigts...
Je ne disparais pas !

Il y’a des fois, je me sens cible
Je me sens comme une proie
Certains dragueurs sont si pénibles
Dans le dos, j’en ai froid !

Auprès de toi, tout est paisible
Mon cœur est plein d’émoi
A ta présence, je suis sensible
Reste un peu près de moi
Ne rentre pas chez toi,
Ne claque pas tes doigts !

Claquer des doigts

my santa man don’t hang with them elves
no he don’t hang with them little bitty elves
we take care of business all by ourselves

he don’t come crawling down my chimney
no he don’t go crawling down my chimney
he walks in the door looking so fine to me

he don’t have to land a sled up on my roof
he don’t have to park no sled on my roof
he’s my santa man, i don’t need no proof

i don’t need my gifts waiting under a tree
yeah, i don’t need no gifts under a tree
my santa man, he brings it straight to me
