Wonderful music with an evolving narrative...

Excellent. Our early childhood music experience was very similar. I dragged my neighborhood friends inside to teach them how to play piano by age 10.

lovely variations on the theme embedded in compelling rhythms

Fantastic piece, Steve. I like the orchestration so much: it's expressive and colorful, descriptive and varied in a lovely way. Can I refer to my piece: "A Fishermen's Suite', here on Soundcloud as well. My congrats to you for this piece!

A fantastic piece, Steve! I like the orchestration and colorful way of telling the story. Splendid variety of colors and timbres. Can I refer to my piece: 'Fishermen's Suite', also here on Soundcloud. Many congrats for this piece!

Okay, let's take a break from the protest songs and get some dancing in!

I rerecorded the vocals, and remixed and mastered the track..

A change in the weather might bring me around again
You know I never liked the cold
A chance to turn this back around my friend
A chance to save my immortal soul
  
Nothing else that came so easy ever felt the same
But nothing hard to hold will ever stay
I watch the clouds form through the window pane
It fills the empty hours of the day

So I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today

The stars fall from the sky and wash up on the shore
Glowing softly blue before they fade
It’s every star i’ve ever wished upon
Now lying silent in their grave

No one that came before you made me feel that way
But I know what’s hard to hold will never stay
I watched the  stars fall from my window pane
And now I'm pleading for the light. of. day.

I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today

Sometimes it seems this flood will never end
Sometimes it seems that all there is is drought
Sometimes the stars are shining in my hands
But they’re mostly full of doubt..

one thing’s for certain I can say…
It’s going to rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today
Oh, won’t you save me,
Before the stars all fade away

It's Going To Rain Today

Started life as an acoustic demo. Last month I pulled it out and built a groove around it…and voila! Light, and slightly tongue-in-cheek, a joyful tune about falling in love on New Year’s Eve. The poppiest thing I’ve posted. Vocals shared by Roger S., Jen D B, and myself.

Thank you for coming here to listen :)
PS: now you can hear a remastered version, the first version was not mixed good. There was a lousy humming in the deep fequencies and it was too quiet.

Long ago he was born into the wild
A brave and Fearless lion child
He Grew up strong with his mother by his side, with his father roamed the countryside,
And together ruled the lion pride

Beneath the bluest sky you’ve ever seen
The bravest little cub that’s ever been

Today he sleeps most of his time away
Inside a little cage that his captors made
Cold hard floor and metal bars
Because he wandered off too far
And he became their easy prey

Gabriel don’t chain the lion down
Turn him loose, let him be
Let him live his days out in the sun
And set his spirit free
Yes set his spirit free
Everyone should be

Do you even even know you’re locked up in a cell
Do you even know there’s a big wide world out there
Do you remember your old home, the plains you called your own,
Or the sound of your mighty roar

Gabriel don’t chain the lions down
Turn them loose, let them be
Let them live their days out in the sun
And set their spirit free
Yes set their spirit free
Everyone should be free

Don't Chain The Lions Down

No longer exists
Of what you were
You are no longer the same woman

Now you know
What you feel
You are no longer the same woman

Words
The looks
They are no longer the same woman

The smile
The caresses
They are no longer the same woman

and in time
I'm sorry already
that you are not the same woman


(Chorus)
Who I fell in love with...
Who I fell in love with...
Who I fell in love with...
Who I fell in love with...

and in time
I'm sorry already
that you are not the same woman

(Chorus 2)
You dont want
What you have
You are no longer
Yesterday's girl

No longer exists
Of what you were
You are no longer the same woman

The same woman
the same woman

De Quien Me Enamoré

Conversation With The Dark

Our story begins with Jorrit disembarking at Boston Harbor with the ambition to give up life on the sea.
He's a salty ol' dog and it might be a difficult transition but his mission is to make it to the west coast of the United States.
Jorrit has some wild adventures and drunken debauchery in Boston before eventually making his way west into Pennsylvania where he buys a used Conestoga wagon and a team of horses
and sails off into the sunset towards his new life.

Hailing from Vondelingenplaat Netherlands, Jorrit Brouwer, son of a brew master, is frightened of large four legged animals because as a child he was kicked by a drunken donkey.

Thank you for visiting and listening. I appreciate your comments and messages. Please feel free to say hello! - Steve
General life - info / bio - - -
I began my musical education with listening as an infant and at the age of 7, in 1958, composed my first piece of music which was a brass quartet.

Early influences were guided by the musical taste of my Mother which was often Tchaikovsky and other romantic composers, with an occasional diversion to Big Band and pop music of the late 40's and early 50's.

The Boys Club Band, Grade School Choir and High School Band were a great education in basic orchestration and harmony and in the mid 60's, and self taught as a guitarist, I began live performance, which lasted until 1999.

Music and technology have always been my main interests and as those two elements continued to merge through the late 90's to the present, they have led me to the point where I now can successfully realize my earliest childhood dreams of musical expression in composing for full orchestra.

Special thanks to Mom for the great listening experience, brother Greg for the continued guidance in music from a formal perspective, and brother Lew for the technological expertise.
