Reading to the children has been shown to have great importance for their development.
I have made a new version of this song since I discovered some problems with the sound in the first version.

Lyrics:
Read to Them
They long for the night when someone can spend some time
with them without noise or television sounds
They want to… listen to a nice fairy tale
which is told to them by their mom or their dad.


There are some creatures in the world who deserve much attention from birth and 
until they retire, their parents are worrying about them
and to give them good conditions in advance
they must teach them the importance of communication

Children need to learn what is important for their future lives
and speech is the crucial point for their success
They learn so much when they listen to the words
when their mom or their dad reads a book before they go to sleep

Approximate Lyrics in Swedish
Läs för dem
De längtar efter kvällen när någon kan spendera lite tid
med dem utan oljud eller TV-ljud
De vill ... lyssna på en trevlig saga
som berättas för dem av deras mamma eller deras pappa.


Det finns några varelser i världen som förtjänar allvarlig uppmärksamhet från födseln och,
tills de går i pension oroar sig föräldrarna för dem
och för att ge dem goda förutsättningar i förväg
måste de lära dem hur viktig kommunikation är


Barnen måste lära sig vad som är viktigt för deras framtida liv
och tal är den avgörande punkten för deras framgång
De lär sig så mycket när de lyssnar på orden
när deras mamma eller pappa läser en bok innan de lägger sig

Read to Them. Today, September 8 is "The International Literacy Day"

Had Dairv burn some fingers on this one.
What a pleasure to collaborate with you Dave...fantastic.

Don't Tell Me/ Featuring Dairv Dubbleyew/80's Pop

Elevators and train stations make me so melancholic!!

Last Train

I first met Thomas through his work with Cecilia, who I'm a fan of, which makes this collaboration very special. He picked the appropriate excerpts from her "Standing In The Moonlight" which, coupled with his chilled reggae groove, give the song a more balanced perspective and positive vibration.

Thomas F. / Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboard & Production @omcb

Lyrics:
(him)
My love, you're drifting away
I hear the things that you say
I know the way is steep and full of danger

I keep trying to find
some kind of peace of mind
to keep me from meeting your anger with anger

Most of what you say is right
yes, and no, I don't want to fight
just want to reach resolution, love and contentment
and scale the slippery slopes of Mt. Grudge
to cross on over the Peak of Resentment

(her)
Don't leave me in this silence
Don't leave me in this silence
Don't leave me this way

I know I do no wrong
so wondering if you've been hurting
trying to hold it back, trying to hide
but can't deny, the sentiment is deep inside

(him)
You say I ruined your life
but you still want to be my wife
and you say you forgive me, but you'll never forget

But all I ever wanted from you
was just to do what you wanted to do
to follow your Muse and be free from regret

Now I feel like I'm no damn good
though I tried to do the best that I could
to reach resolution, love and contentment
and scale the slippery slopes of Mt. Grudge
to cross on over the Peak of Resentment

Gotta cross on over baby
roll ya over in the clover
gotta get a little peace in the valley
no more rumble in the alley
Gonna leave all that behind
..................(him)................................................../..............(her).............................
Find some kind state of mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Put our heads & hearts in a peaceful place, / Don't leave me in this silence
Live a life of love and grace ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Gonna cross on over now baby,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/ Don't leave me in this silence
if it's the last thing I ever do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
C'mon cross on over with me with me darlin/ Don't leave me in this silence
Don't ya wanna go there with me too,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Gotta get on down to a lovin' space,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence

Peak Of Resentment  w/ Thomas F. & Special Cecilia

A track I have played with in the past but was never fully satisfied with until now.  Very happy to have collaborated with Finn again on this fun take on a Irish trad standard.

HELLO MY FRIENDS!  
I recommend navigating this large, chaotic cloud by tracks or playlists.
I am a Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. I've played in various types of bands over the years, Rock, Folk, Irish, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Avant Garde. I'm best known for playing drums through multiple re-incarnations of Shiva's Headband, the eclectic, legendary psychedelic era band from Austin. One of my songs appears on "In the Primo of Life", and I co-wrote "Roots Rock Station" with Spencer Perskin, which first appeared on "Remember The Armadillo" and was re-released on "The Temple of Rock N Roll". I also co-produced the CD, "So You Don't Go Barefoot", by Sue Perskin of Shiva's. This cloud focuses on my songwriting. Credit is given to any and all musicians involved. Otherwise everything you hear I've done myself.
