Original track's name is inspired by the poem of the famous poet and writer Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)  "We Lying By Seasand" (read the poem below!)

We lying by seasand, watching yellow 
And the grave sea, mock who deride 
Who follow the red rivers, hollow 
Alcove of words out of cicada shade, 
For in this yellow grave of sand and sea 
A calling for colour calls with the wind 
That's grave and gay as grave and sea 
Sleeping on either hand. 
The lunar silences, the silent tide 
Lapping the still canals, the dry tide-master 
Ribbed between desert and water storm, 
Should cure our ills of the water 
With a one-coloured calm; 
The heavenly music over the sand 
Sounds with the grains as they hurry 
Hiding the golden mountains and mansions 
Of the grave, gay, seaside land. 
Bound by a sovereign strip, we lie, 
Watch yellow, wish for wind to blow away 
The strata of the shore and drown red rock; 
But wishes breed not, neither 
Can we fend off rock arrival, 
Lie watching yellow until the golden weather 
Breaks, O my heart's blood, like a heart and hill...

(Dylan Thomas)

Lyrics by "Roll the Dice by Charles Bukowski (read by Tom O'Bedlam)"

if you're going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don't even start.

if you're going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.

isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you'll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you're going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, it's
the only good fight
there is.

You are apparently very numerous to love this composer, so here is a work as well known, longer to satisfy you. The realization is totally electronic, it required 196 hours of work, 128 tracks to mix and the implementation of the resonance system created by my company. 
The great "Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky", 
The Swan Lake Op. 20, Act 1, 2. Valse 
An album "The Snow Orchestra" (Christian Levitan) that should be released next December.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
