[Intro]
 
Em  D (4x)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em                      D
 I was listening to the ocean
Em                  D
I saw a face in the sand
           C
But when I picked it up
         G         D          C
Then it vanished away from my hands
Em                  D
I had a dream I was seven
Em                   D
Climbing my way in a tree
        C
I saw a piece of heaven
G          D          C
Waiting impatient for me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Am
And I was running far away
      C
Would I run off the world someday?
G                D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
   Am
And I was dancing in the rain
   C
I felt alive and I can't complain
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
But now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
                    Am
I can't take it anymore
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em               D
I was painting a picture
Em                            D
The picture was a painting of you and
      C                         G
For a moment I thought you were here
           D              C
But then again, it wasn't true
    Em                        D
And all this time I have been lying
    Em                    D
Oh, lying in secret to myself
        C                       G            D
I've been putting sorrow on the farrest place
        C
On my shelf, da di da
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Am
And I was running far away
      C
Would I run off the world someday?
G                D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
   Am
And I was dancing in the rain
   C
I felt alive and I can't complain
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
But now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
 
I got no other place to go
G
Now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
 
I got no other place to go
G
Now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
                    Am
I can't take it anymore
 
 
[Bridge]
 
          Am
But I kept running
                    C
For a soft place to fall
          G
And I kept running
                    D
For a soft place to fall
          Am
And I kept running
                    C
For a soft place to fall
          G
And I kept running
                    D
For a soft place to fall
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Am
And I was running far away
      C
Would I run off the world someday?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
But now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
 
I got no other place to go
G
Now take me home
D                   C
Take me home where I belong
 
I got no other place to go
 
 
[Outro]
 
G             D
Now take me home
            C
Home where I belong, oh no, no
G             D
Now take me home
            C
Home where I belong, oh oh-oh oh-oh
G             D
Now take me home
            C
Home where I belong, oh no, no
G             D
Now take me home
            C
Home where I belong
                    Am
I can't take it anymore

Lyric after translation :

'It Hurts Me'

It hurts me, it tears at my heart.
After every storm, a breach. I don't want them anymore.
It hurts me when I fall into that well.
The echoes of those memories strike so deceitfully.

It hurts me. My heart, my whole body.
Not my words, but in my thoughts they keep calling.
It hurts me when I get hit on the head.
For the echoes of the living, not my memories after all.

It hurts me, it tears me in half.
Every word strikes. Pulls down with force.
It hurts me, so I collapse within myself.
The echoes of those memories can now be at peace.

It hurts me. My heart, my whole body.
Not my words, but in my thoughts they keep calling.
It hurts me when I get hit on the head again.
For the echoes of the living, not my memories after all.

It hurts me.
It hurts so much.
The whole world, it seems,
Is already upside down.

It hurts me. My heart, my whole body.
Not my words, but in my thoughts they keep calling.
It hurts me when I keep getting hit on the head.
For the echoes of the living, not my memories after all.

It hurts

Life-painted pictures sung out.

★ ★ ★  Lyrics ★ ★ ★

I was in the dark
when I first found you, my love
I never thought that a star
would ever notice my soul
But you were always around  
just never thought it was me
that you were looking for
longing for

Give me a sign
and I will open my heart
so you can sleep inside
See it's made for you
find myself in you
I'll lose myself in you

Was staring the sea
when I felt wind on my face
One foot was soaked, can you see?
The other holding my pace
Rested my hands on your head
to heal the air that you breathe
Just lose yourself in me
Find yourself in me

Give me a sign
and I will travel the worlds
with nothing but my voice
As if it’s not my choice
not my choice

Let go of your fear
and feel my sound caress you
as if it’s not your choice
Leave behind the noise
Leave behind the noise

Where To Find You

October Wind

(Written by Paul McCartney)
Original by The Beatles 1965

Yesterday  (cover)

When I was in infant school my class was a ragbag bunch of scruffy working class urchins, self included.  National health glasses held together with band aids, hand-me-down clothes, bruises, jam sandwiches.  There was a kid in that class who was very quiet, often absent.  Good at reading.  Good at running.  Kept himself to himself.  Sat at the back, never made eye contact.  Never put his hand up.

Turns out he was very deaf and spending a lot of time in hospital with operations of various sorts.

When he was seven he was given a hearing aid - huge thing the size of a transistor radio that sat in his shirt pocket.  The story I heard was that when he first went home with it his mam took him for a walk down a country lane to try it out.  He was very upset that it was obviously broken - all sorts of odd scratching and buzzing noises.

They eventually realised that he was hearing insects for the first time.  

Imagine that.

Often wonder what became of him.

A Good Boy

A symphony of crushing silence 
Played his timpani of weathered clay
Under lowered eyes that cried defiance
He’d softly make his quiet way
A guiding star that burned with life, but ever failed to shine
Kept his distance, from afar, no avatar to hide behind
He’s a good boy, so they say, in their condescending, pitied way.

Inputs built of aural mud are clinically desensitised
Muffled whispers trundle under cobbled skies of grizzled grey
Dreams and aspirations that never could be realised
He’d tightly close his eyes and lightly kneel to pray
Social cripple loner ‘neath a joker’s plastic smiles
Silent rippled mannequin, cartoon audio spastic child
He’s a good boy, so they say, in their well meaning, hurtful way.

Flip the switch and hear the light
Bear witness to the revelation
A trip to day-sound from his silent night
Demolishing all his expectations
Sweet blushing kiss of angels’ eyes
One of them has turned the volume dial
To flush his muted domicile
And hear the crickets singing on the chamomile

So cast the light fine, on the deafened child’s mind
And let the sound shine as the clearest of days
A new world’s flight is leaving dark behind
Clarity rebound leads the way
Breathe the noise, of those blissful waves
Touch the sense as darkness fades
He’s a good boy,…..he’s a good boy…..

So swing the arc’s beam, bless the lonesome soul
Illumination wakes the inner self
Warmth of seemliness melts the cold
Communication taken off the shelf
Breathe the noise, of those blissful waves
Touch the sense as darkness fades
He’s a good boy,…..he’s a good boy …. He’s a good boy now.

Here’s my latest song written at my real acoustic piano. 

Thank you so much to my lovely Sander for mastering. 
@wane-of-summer 😊💕🎶❤️🎼🎵🎹🎤❤️

You’ve stolen my heart
Killed all my doubts
And now I’m falling
Head over heels

And now I’m wondering 
If you’ll be my partner in crime

You’ve robbed my soul
Set me aflame 
And now I’m burning
Just for you

Oh sentence me
Oh sentence me

PARTNER IN CRIME (acoustic piano)

Wrote this as an appreciation for the senses we have and also a hat tip to the people who have synesthesia, a condition which routes senses to different organs with an alternate wiring of nerves in the brain from birth. I found this fascinating when I discovered it so the idea got some love in an ickle song...

Looking at my notes below I must have been playing a bit of 'Ben Howard' stuff at the time as I appear to only capo 4 of the strings and he is one of two musicians I've seen doing that. 'Nick Mulvey' is the other if I remember correctly and both are definitely worth a good listen to for the rest of your days :)
Nick Mulvey & Ben Howard

On the Capo thing and incase you havent ventured it. This is where you capo a number of the strings and leave a couple open. It opens some incredibly original doors as it's not a widely used technique I'd imagine...

Lyrics

DADGAD (DOWN SEMITONE)
CAPO 5 (So Capo 6th/5th/4th/3rd & leave 2nd and 1st open)



Listener, you hear!
Lucky to have the waves so clear.
Observer, we’ve seen
A life of moments mined with clarity

Do you feel for your distance?
Do you smell for a smile?
Can you taste some vision?
What missing senses must be like...

supplicant (Falsestart cover)

A new composition............

Lyrics:  

In the quiet echoes of a fading dawn
Once we danced beneath the stars
The civilization that once was
Had its chance and soon will fall


The rivers run heavy with lies
A never-ending stream of deceit
Ugliness and greed with a sinister grin
Words of kindness are buried alive


Isn’t it a pity the smallness they hold
Their hearts and minds are so cold 
Lost in the darkness of their souls
The darkness of shadows is upon them


The streets are weeping with tears
Compassion forgotten in this modern-day hell
They search for redemption in the ashes of time
But the clock just keeps on ticking


They lament for the love that once was
In the reign of chaos, they feel lost
Isn’t it a pity that humans can be so cold
The kindness of souls turned bitter and old

Anyone (Demi Lovato cover)

Hello dear friends
my wonderful 10-years-old granddaughter is a mighty skilled rider.
She rides like a princess.
She inspired me to make this little song/fairy tale.

Lyrics in English

The Girl on the Horse

The silence is broken when she is riding in
on her black and white horse
and the hooves are clapping on the streets of stone
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


They are both very excited about the speed they now have reached
when they fly through the town
they are cheering and they are clapping their hands and hooves
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


The dust is smoking and the people move aside
they don’t want to get hurt
they are very impressed by the skill they show
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Her Grand Dad keeps telling her, please don't fall to the ground   (=me!!)
You might break a lot of bones
but the girl and the horse, they just laugh at him
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Lyrics in Swedish

Flickan på hästen

Tystnaden bryts när hon rider in
på sin svartvita häst
och hovarna klappar på gatorna av sten
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


De är båda väldigt exalterade över hastigheten de nu har nått
när de flyger genom staden
de jublar och de klappar händer och hovar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Dammet ryker och människorna flyttar sig åt sidan
de vill inte bli sårade
de är mycket imponerade av den skicklighet de visar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Hennes morfar säger hela tiden till henne, snälla fall inte till marken      (=jag!!)
Du kan krossa många ben
men flickan och hästen, de bara skrattar åt honom
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden

stay

a live demo recorded on the old tape machine.........peace, cheers for having a listen and seasons greetings.............*Tombstone Jones by The Bluebirds From Montezuma..........one of my many favs that ive found on here........a great group i like to listen to in the morn with me cuppa


somebody told me it's mind over matter
but does it matter to you that mine is in tatters
cos I'm sick of what I'm seeing on my devices
it's breaking my brain

advice never asked for, watch them boiling wooden spoons 
hearing peoples cringy songs with them singing outta tune
and pretending that they listen
to get a good review

or watch them bury their heads in their hands as they weep
cos they lost everything they got nowhere to sleep
and from the comfort of our 24/7 live feed
we can give it our armchair critique

and as always there's talk, endless conclusions
everyone shouting so there aint no solutions
to the problems that lie at our feet
seems they only exist when they're on our screen

branded and tagged like cattle at the station
trying to be our authentic self on rotation
but we can't shut up about it
cos everybody's gotta know

so many conversations we're all trying to be heard
and not paying any mind to the things that deserve 
our attention deficit has never been so bad I've heard
since 1963

and as always there's talk, endless discussions
like a blow to the head can give you concussion
like the problems that lie in our homes
seems they only exist if someone else knows

we protest cos the cows are fartin to much
but if we eat any, the plant lovers hate our guts
cos they rather we live on daises and nuts
so we can squeeze through a crack in the wall

maybe what we need to do is find a quiet space
pull up a chair and stare into space
and for 5 minutes just be alone with our face
and shut the fuck up for a while
