Doing it now is suicide
that's why I must have tried
but I want to tear it 
from my shoulders

this fucking misery contraption
that I'm mangled within.
Only then could I allow
such a joy in again.

Drowned by the pure.
Injected with grace.
Force my face.
Buried in the mud. 

To feel the flowers love
as it blooms through my ribcage
just so it can show me
what to do with the light.

Hope - Music & Lyrics by Mark Jackson

Well I hope someday that you know how it feels to be lost going nowhere
Well I hope someday that you know how it feels to see the people stare
I’ve been stripped of my pride, my heart opened wide
Lord knows what’s inside but Ihope someday to find it
I must confess, I’ve been so stressed, my life is a mess 
You know I don’t even seem to mind it

Well I hope someday somebody comes to save me, but I doubt they ever will
I hope someday somebody comes to save me, just take me away from here
I shouldn’t lie it’s so hard to try to say goodbye you know everybody needs a friend
It’s a crazy thing what the bad times can bring, a birds broken wings, it’ll never fly again

Well I hope someday that people will say that I did I did my very best
I hope someday that people will say I always, I always seem to make them laugh
Through sickness and health, poor times and wealth, each hand that I’m dealt, I always try to stay the same. Through thick and through thin I bounce back again, I lose then I win, and I’m always ready to play the game

Oh yeah, hoping things will be fine someday
Hoping things will be fine someday
Hoping things will be fine someday

dedicated to my sister Cindy (more to com)

During Sophie's last piano lesson I asked her to improvise a track on this piece. ( the mid range strings)  Then she started to improvise more.  I picked a key and told her to keep playing.  She did. She played beautiful music and she realized that she no longer needed music to play.  The light bulb turned on and she smiled.  People who only memorize music will forget it if they don't keep playing it.  When you can improvise in any key, you never forget that. You will always be able to play any time you sit at a piano and have no fear that you won't remember what you knew. it's important to know how to read music and the theory that goes with it,  but if that is all you can do, find a teacher who can teach you improv.  I'm very proud of her.  She has talent.

File Update #9: Made outro voicings way more operatic and they now align with the power of guitar bass and drum to end

File Update #8: First lead guitar feeler run

File Update #7: Drums expanded to help lead the gallop late on. Rolling toms thoughout pitch shifted down -1 and -2 octaves one track each. The gallop is achieved by playing 8th notes with a dotted delay giving that off beat in the delay. You can tend to go from following the dotted rhythm to back straight to straight 8th's giving beats with delay like this even more movement across the phrase from that shift in expression

File Update #6: Adjusted drums to reflect guitar power better. Added Peruvian pan flutes mirroring vocal in some lead parts. Added cellos & basses to unison the guitar power chords. Playing with reverse effected Blackbird vocal at the end also. What I may do is make this rev effected BB vox properly on the whole phrase and then TBD sing it forwards over that and should sound cool… then do the same again . reverse my TBD forward vocal and should have a very weird and wonderful double forward double reverse unison to finish. Schweeeeeeeeeeet

File Update #5: Two electric guitars added. Each with slow arpeggio to start with one evolving to rhythm and the other to lead/rhythm. Again possibly too dominant will be fixed in a mix

File Update #4: Little Alexa chat at the end more prominent

File Update #3: More TBD voice trying to get closer to Blackbird. I'll fix any busy~ness that has cropped up with some mix TLC when I think we're done.  Put in a crow sound at the end because I'm a furking stoner and asked alexa (I call mine Computer because I feel like Picard 👴🏽😆) to make a Blackbird sound haha

File Update #2: TBD voicings more prominent and Blackbird stereo tracked and spread. Tom prominence increased. Real Bass in throughout.

File Update #1: Extended with double time dance mode (164bpm) and normal time outro (82bpm)

Big thanks also to artist Box Number 10 for giving me the idea to tackle this. You can listen to their wonderful rendition above.

For this rendition I aligned the Acapella with an 82 BPM project and built from there. The way the original vocal is built lends itself very well for this as there are nice spaces to chop it up with minimal detriment. I think 82 (maybe 81) the best tempo to work with if you wan to try this for Blackbird and let your imagination run wild with it. It's incredible vocal practice and I think the enthusiasm is there for more versions.
My cat Yoda pays us a visit too throughout...



A thank you poem...

When Maria Carey retired, Falsetto lovers pined...

Then along came a Blackbird with voice sublime

So the beautiful dark muted in word

Picked up the guitar with tremolo absurb

Some simple piano

Some hums and some he's

This magpie minds your eggs

Now I'm free

Thanks dear artist I hope I did fine

Your voice truly is sublime



Listening to this just fed me a wonderful memory. In 3rd year Music class in school Mr Kelly asked the whole class, "What is the most beautiful instrument of them all?"
We took turns guessing... Guitar, Violin, Piano....
Mr Kelly's answer, "The human voice"
I whole heartedly agree Sir 🫡

During Medieval & Renaissance days the fencing word..
“Colpi Dritti”…means: “Vadi blows from the right side used to defend one self” as the warriors had to do…

Just a fun experimental piece …

The story of cheerful driver Mauricio Babilonia and about his great love for Meme Buendia. About how a shotgun blast forever confined him to a hospital bed. About how Meme was forcibly taken overseas, to a distant mountain monastery, in whose damp and cold walls she was ordered to forget forever the bright image of her beloved - Mauricio Babilonia, a smiling guy, permanently surrounded by a cloud of fluttering yellow butterflies...

Night Rain Dreams is a poetic solo piano album featuring ten lyrical compositions inspired by the themes of night, rain, and dreams. Some tracks are accompanied by gentle natural rain sounds, evoking scenes of forest cabins, rainy seaside nights, or peaceful windowsides. Each piece was improvised based on visualized scenes and emotions, making this album a perfect companion for relaxation and sleep.

是一張充滿意境的純鋼琴專輯，收錄了十首以「夜晚」「雨聲」「夢境」為靈感的抒情鋼琴作品。曲目加入了自然雨聲，讓人彷彿置身森林木屋、海邊夜雨、或窗邊靜夜。每首樂曲皆源於即興創作，根據腦海中的畫面與情緒而生，是睡前放鬆、沉澱心靈的最佳伴侶。

Solo piano compositions bundle - Original composed and produced piano songs by Jozeph

The Pond - Piano - by Jozeph

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands of different styles, from country to heavy metal and to 40. I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My son is also exceptional.  My great grandmother and gr grandfather sang and danced in minstrel shows (vaudeville) in the early 1900's. Kids today have no idea what life was like before moving pictures.  I now have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!
