Roberto B (@mgxloop and @volt5000 and I are glad to present "Let There Be Peace!", as track 9 in our collaborative album in progress since the start of 2022. We hope you'll enjoy it.

The track was created in collaboration on 14, 19, 21 February and 9 March 2022 (initial and subsequent mix and recording in GarageBand and Logic Pro by Alex M) and 8, 9 and 10 March 2022 (further additions, arrangements, and final mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B), and posted here on SoundCloud on 10 March 2022 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track is based on a photo taken by Alex M on 28 August 2021 and cropped and annotated with text by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 9 March 2022 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

Thank you so much, Roberto, for this inspired collaboration of ours: we are praying for peace!

Duration: 5:54 minutes

Let There Be Peace! - Roberto B & Alex M

A friend of mine, an excellent singer Mr. Kodaka Schokichi aka Jumpin' Shokichi kindly permitted me to add some instruments to his song.
He likes to sing classic R & B songs and that is very nice. But I wanted him to sing his own original songs in Japanese. Why can songs touch our soul if the singer doesn't sing in his own language ? 
So I'm very glad he released the CD that contains his original songs ! He sang strumming the guitar without accompaniment except his own blues harp. I've really enjoyed his songs and naturally I played some instruments along  one of his songs. I was afraid that it might disrupt his song but he accepted what I'd done. He was delighted with this!
You can enjoy some of his songs on his Youtube Channel.

Lyrics in English

I’ve not been honest  
I should have known better
Only I could do was to escape selfishly from reality

Now I want to tell you how I feel
Please forgive me
I wish you could believe my words

Pushing myself too much
Without caring about others
I only did what I wanted to do

Please wait for a while
I want to let you know my feelings

Seeing the gray sky through the train window
I don’t know why but I can’t stop tears

The train will arrive at your town soon
It started to rain and I can’t see it clearly

It’s been many years since then
But imagined scenery is still the same for me

Seeing the gray sky through the train window
I don’t know why but I can’t stop tears

The train will arrive at your town soon
It started to rain and I can’t see it clearly

Another rediscovered DADGAD track! I sent to Josh - this is the result :)
I love the Floyd vibes he brought in👍

Dream

A song for friends that we love and we know will need to move on. We'll always be here, regardless of where they go. 

This is dedicated for Adina. She was my good friend's good friend. She left a bright trail in the lives of many people.  

So Close, So Far,

Just to see you and my heart smiles.
To be with you and while you talk to me,
I'm watching, drinking you in.
A deep draft of you and I'm still thirsty.

Just to see you lifts my heart.
To be with you and feel a part,
of this moment of beauty.
And I'm watching, something precious
All these riches before me and I'm still greedy

To see you, to hear you, that's how life should be.
To love you and be with you where else would I be?

Yet each time we meet, I'm scared its the last.
Your perfect glaze shows the faults in my cast.

To see you now and I'm amazed.
Your dreams awake, you've flown away,
To a place where your happy.
And I'm watching, you fly high.
Waiting for the day you'll say goodbye,
Scared and waiting for the day you'll say goodbye.

So Close, So Far (Something Memorable)

Something Memorable is Sean Doran's SoundCloud Name. 

Hi there. Go on.. push a play button and re-post something....while you read....

I've been on Soundcloud since Dec 2011 and it still amazes me how this community has helped me to improve my music and continue to write and play. It's the balance between the making music and the listening to the inspiration that the rest of you create, that makes it work. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening.

I'm song writer and singer, continuing to learn and play, create and expand my capabilities. I'm very happy to write and record with others here on Soundcloud, I've enjoyed the collaborations that I've been involved with and they are where I learn the most. So, if you want a lyric or a vocal or fancy trying to collaborate on a complete track please let me know. 

My songs tend to be lyrics driven and my lyrics tend to come from ideas hinted at by words or phrases I hear or read. Once I'm writing I tend to start off in one direction and soon find the lyrics choosing their own. No matter how hard I push towards that pop, chirpy track.... I tend to come back something a little slower. Through I've been experimenting more lately. 

I truly believe everyone can write and should give it a go and so I'm happy to work with anyone.

I'm currently recording a combination of N2 pencil mics for acoustic guitar and a Aston Original mike for vocal. I have an M-Audio interface to my Mac and Logic X.

Born in Belfast, N. Ireland, but currently living and working from (Malaysia, India, Netherlands)North Norfolk in the UK.

I hope you'll like some of what you hear and that you'll leave a comment. Even if you don't like it, I'd love to hear why and what would make you listen again. Your comments make me better. 

शुभ कामनाएँ

Sean
