Poem:

the edge of the world
– the road vanishes into
a curtain of mist

At the edge of the world, a cowboy vanishes into the mist of the road (naviarhaiku422)

A country&western story-teller song with lyrics  like a stereotyped western movie script. This is a movie genre I like very much. I'm seeing Clint Eastwood in his prime as the best candidate for playing Colbet Jones if this was a movie. ;-)

A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

There’s a first time for everything 
Were the last words he spoke 
Who knows what tomorrow might bring 
When the darkness sheds it’s cloak
I doubt it will bring solace I doubt it will bring joy 
A woman now but I was still
His little girl holdin’ her toy 

There’s a first time for everything 
He laughed as he taught me to swim  
Don’t be nervous, just jump right in
Were the right words from him  
Grab life right by the throat  
And don’t ever let it go  
I always heeded his advice  
And last night I told him so 

There’s a first time for everything 
He whispered as he held my son 
His features slowly softening 
As proud as anyone
He was grateful for each new day  
He believed he’d been blessed 
He worked hard and he played hard  
And now he’s earned his rest 

Late into the evening
Surrounded by his loving folk 
There’s a first time for everything
Were the last words he spoke 

There's A First Time For Everything

ROM-COMS AND OTHER LIES
2025 Cooper Jones


VERSE  
He’s got picture-book good looks 
A Michelin star restaurant cook 
Symmetrical and in proportion, always taller never shorter 
Compliments her, knows her worth, is ready to commit to her 
And never disappoints her 
If he does it’s in the name of love

CHORUS
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
He’s handsome, manly, sensitive 
Somehow knows her love language 
Can land a punch like the best of ‘em
But outshines all the rest of ‘em
Somehow single or mismatched 
Either way one heck of a catch
Knows how to dress, no wayward stains 
He’s Mr Neat, rugged untamed 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

BIRDGE  
Some ladies get lucky, some ladies get sad, when their hubby don’t fit the perfect man
Some ladies are wise some ladies will know
There ain’t no garden variety men just the type that real life grows…

VERSE 
He’d never pick a fight be heartless 
Always take the blame regardless  
Custom made only for you to win your heart, propose to you
He’s a dab-hand at the dishes and fulfills all your wishes 
Of course he’d be good in bed but never pester or expect

CHORUS 
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
You would not imagine he’d leave socks upon the floor
Or leave his empties everywhere, never shirk a chore 
He would have telepathy, be  trained in massage therapy
A natural born leader but still earnin’ good money 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

Clicks & Whistles (Live in Brooklyn 8.3.12)

A very old demo from the mid-80's (hence the ancient-sounding drum track). Originally written as a comment on the Thatcher government's love affair with Reagan, it seems to have come full circle. Written and performed with appropriate youth-inspired bile by B. Hart, using an old Fostex 4-track tape recorder.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

Thanks for listening to my music. I'm in the music scene for more than 50 years now, played thousands of gigs and released 15 albums. Never made it to the big stage, always a musicians musician, just a nicer word for having no success. Never been into mainstream music, love people like Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits, outsiders who defined an own musicology. Like it or not, I'm always trying to deliver quality music, hopefully some people will find a couple of tracks they like to listen to again. This will make my day, thanks.

Hello! Welcome friends! 
So happy to celebrate 50 K plays of my songs here on SoundCloud! Many of my tracks can now be downloaded (for free).
I am a singer-songwriter from Trondheim, Norway. I have written and performed music for more than 30 years. I write music&lyrics across a lot of genre and styles but seem to favour country, blues, jazz and singer-songwriter pop music. 

In May 2013 I started recording my music for the first time. I was lucky enough to come across a great sound engineer and producer, Robert Mære at Toppen Lydstudio, and I made a deal with him for recording and producing 25 of my songs. Next lucky strike was that the legendary "Guitar God" Toralf Lund came on board the project. He really set the standard! Although I play some guitar myself, I at once realized that Toralf should be the main guitarist on this project. :-) So I went on to hand pick really high standard musicians, alongside some of my talented family members and good friends. The third really lucky strike was the piano/keyboard player Steffen Flasnes. He plays ALL piano/keyboard on the whole project. What a versatile and talented young man! 
The end result is much better than I expected. Many thanks to you all! 
After several months of editing and cutting and producing and mastering we are getting close to releasing the music.

I sing all male vocals/choir myself (with one exception: the bass vocal on A place called Hell) and play both tenor and alto saxophone (all sax except Keep my motor running). I also play some harmonica and blues harp on the project. 

All songs&lyrics are originals written by myself. And I'm arranging and do the instrumentation.  I have also co-produced everything together with Robert Mære.
  
Thank you for listening! I hope you will find at least one song that you really like among all the different songs I have recorded and produced so far! And if so please let me know! :-)
