Ooooo ‘verdant grasses’... awesome!!!❤️

You are an evocative lyricist, my friend. Distinctly powerful choice of words on this one. :)

I'm sticking to my theory that this is a double entendre, about the loss of a person feeling like an amputation. If it's simply a story of a wounded soldier, that works too. haha. Very nice, Steve. :)

Im very impressed by your lyrics,the images comes through with such lovely poetic touch.

These vocals coupled with the arrangement works so nicely. These lyrics are awesome.

Eclectic Excellence

It's just not funny anymore, the conspiracy theories..the hate filled blogs and social media posts..the absurd rhetoric that passes for political discussion these days
It is hard enough for people to get along as it is (for reasons that are not clear to me) but this background noise is making it impossible to survive.

To quote John Prine "it don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more"

lyrics

superman is made of steel
batman has his batmobile
spider man is fast as lightning
yea their powers are really frightening
but there is one who tops them all
Someone more powerful I can't recall
Someone with no thoughts at all
we call him stupid man

super eyes that can clearly see
to the tip of his pointed nose
super ears that clearly hear all the voices in his head
nerves of steel.no remorse no sense of fear at all
since he doesn't;t know what he's got
he is not afraid to lose it all

there is no truth he can't defeat
by stomping it with his feet
there is no lie that's so far gone
that he can't embrace and sing its song
lizards in the White House
democrats drink baby blood
the moon's not. real its a laboratory
the earth is as flat as can be

King Kong pounds his mighty chest
Godzilla roars out his fiery breath
but stupid man can top them all
he bellows out his rage to all
cause someone told him this was bad
and someone told him that was worse
he doesn't take the time to think
his eyes are shut so he doesn't blink

don't bother him with truth or facts
things for trivial pursuit
He 's busy saving the world from everything that's not like him

so fight on fight on stupid man
until there is no one left but you
then you can learn to fear yourself
and bring an end to this crazy talk

Mighty stupid man

This song is again recorded with my phone. (Next probably a DAW song!) Motörhead has a cover of "Johnny B. Goode", so I Iistened to the original from the 50s! Chuck Berry Rock ‘n Roll. The intro is great, there are more songs with similar intros. They are so cool that I wanted to learn them at the end of last year and did. In this song, I just use my version of it as the intro. I play it a little lower so it's appropriate for my song. The last chord of the intro is the 1st chord of my song, except I play it as a power chord instead of a major chord. Some of my intro version is pretty much like the original, some is my version. It's really fun to play with these Rock ’n Roll intros, I could do it for hours. In one of the covers of the songs with these intros, the one with Beethoven in the title, there's an orchestral version of Beethoven's famous symphony at the beginning. I wanted that too, but of course only on my guitar, so I made up a guitar version of it and put it in front of the Rock ‘n Roll intro. Only after that my own song begins. It's even more freely than my 1st song here. I know the chords and riffs and lyrics, but decide always when playing when to change the riff. So the recording is a way for me to learn to produce one special version and not play it differently each time. You will hear that it is played and sung very freely. So consider it as a song performance for friends, not really a well-structured and finished song. Furthermore, I play nearly everything as slides, so it is harder to play then it sounds. I wanted to play it a bit faster, but it was not possible, this is the fastest drum accompaniment my amplifier has, it doesn't go any faster. One the other hand, for some parts of the lyrics it would be really difficult to sing it any faster.
Since someone asked for the lyrics of my last song I provide it here:
Guitar Heros
Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix gave us all the great licks
Angus Young, so alive, plays day and night
Eternal guitar riffs sound so loud
Make Berry’s Rock’n’Roll proud

Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Eddie van Halen’s fire hand, Tony Iommi’s powerful band
And not forget all the women of Rock:
Lita Ford’s solos wild and bold
Joan Jett’s chords breaking the mold
From their style I find my own
Like from seeds they have sown
With their songs I find my way
Getting better every day
Discovering riffs old and new
Offers a lesson for me and you
For me and you, for me and you

Guitar Heros

Ian, who has his soundcloudsite under the name Magician, creates a "wonderworld".
He made an instrumental sweet as sugar, all the way, with the name, "dreamland".
Ian allowed me to rework his song called: You used to rock me asleep.

I made lyrics about a break -up. 
The first half of the song, stands for the memory of the relationship considered to be comforting, sweet and golden. Because the decission is made by the other, the question rises: “why”?
Who’s fault is it. 
In this first half of the song the sweetness of the song, made by Ian, stays untouched.

In the second half, the sweet music lingers silently, on the background, and a darker
theme (made with my synthesizer) with a beat (made with my drumcomputer), takes over. Feelings of sadness and even anger take over. It was the one who decided to break up, and even doesn’t explain, who broke his promesses and turned his back. I tried this change of feel also to reflect in my voice.
Hope you enjoy!

You Used To Rock Me Asleep (collab Ian aka Magician)

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Lyrics :
"Ce sexe contient des applications pouvant induire des mouillages intempestifs sans arrimages prolongés si la posologie des coups de boutoir n'est pas respectée, il est donc conseillé de lécher au préalable les vibrations de la béance en partance bucolique afin d'éradiquer la possibilité d'une flagellation écarlate sur ces fesses ainsi présentées à la vue et au nez du grand Pan qui pointe ses cornes coquines, phallus en main, afin de féconder de folie cette flore bouclée et ô combien odorante qu'aucun abricot coulant ne pourrait satisfaire si des glands impudents ne prennent leurs parties jusqu'à la garde des chaînes de chiennes déjà évanouies plus loin que la pâmoison digitalisée en pleine lune au pas de quartier d'un bondage sans rémission puisque ma Déesse et Maîtresse calcule quelques turgescences chevalines ou taurines parmi le labyrinthe phasé qu'enculent quelques créatures cloîtrées au rythme de règles subitement téléchargées pour l'annale gerbe tempétueuse souhaitant se faire sucer sauvagement sous ses sphères réservées en la fièvre telle que la fureur de reluire encore et toujours les Saints Axes intempestifs assurant ce qui gicle en tous sens, galbant de liqueurs nacrées ces courbes énamourées, hautement insatiables, pourtant portant les traces bientôt de la sorte acquises des futures extases décidément fortement désirées en ces abysses où les mots sont à présent obsolètes car le chant orgasmique dicte dans l'intention de fuir ses vérités obscènes vers ces sociétés mensongères prêtes à caser la liberté dans un trou sans nom."

lyrics:
I wish there was an easy way
but easy would not teach me
notice the poison
negativity is contagious

so many things that went wrong
so many things I tried but went wrong
the world is upside down
no one feels really fine
so I'm looking for a way

how can I make a difference
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of our kind
can I clean all the mess we have left behind
can I heal and bless my feelings
my feelings are loosing me

I'm thinking too much
cauz nothing really matter
if I'm still breathing
my feelings are hurting
but it's a divine compass
that helps me to get on the right path

how can I break the habits
those that lead me to pain
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of my life
can I ease my nervous sensitivity
need to clean away this boring ambiant negativity

I want to see the change
I want to be the change
I want to see a change
cause it's at hand
and I have enough of my shit
want a change
cauze I have enough of our shit

Amputation

Thinking back to a field of flowers
Smiling through a field of dreams
And you the breath of summer breezes
You the taste of mountain streams

But now the fields are full of graves
Cause war it came and you had fled
And me I lay in wheels’ tracks
Would I just be left for dead

Before my eyes wilting flowers
And I felt amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

Leave the window half ajar
Let the sun light trickle through
Swathed in cloth of bandages
All I do is think of you

Every now and then I dose
And for a while I’m there with you
Rolling in the verdant grasses
Basking in the love of you

It’s end of life it’s wilting flowers
I fell then amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

we know it's done
