And The Sun Is Going Down

This one is about an old man knowing that his sun is going down. Looking back to when he was a young idealistic man with a goal. Meeting the lady of his life and going into a very different direction. He realizes that he made it to the top after all.  

I hope you like it!
This has been a very busy week! Things should slow down for a little while now. 

Take Care!!

Lyrics;
 And the sun is going down
He's rocking in his chair
On the front porch with his lady
He's got plans to go nowhere

His mind rewinds the clock
To a much younger man
Who had a need to prove himself
But no cause for which to stand

His heart was beating strong
His confidence was high
The future bright before him
The limit was the sky

Until the sun'd do down
He'd work right through the night
He was going to reach the top
The goal within his sight

But the world can turn you upside down
And spin out of control
And even change a hard headed man
And take hold of his soul

And the sun was going down
And her hair did shine like gold

And The Sun Is Going Down

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. ;-)

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



Rom-Coms and Other Lies

A laid back country song from Circle80, featuring Brett Steele (Suno persona specialising in this genre). A song I worked on for some time, in the process moving more versions and iterations to the trash can than |I have for a long time. But leaving it for a while and then taking advice from an AI source, on idioms - yep - and shock, horror, I always use a rhyming dictionary and a thesaurus too.

Anyway, being serious, I have gotten to love this particular song and I hope that you can feel the same. Again you may notice that I am now mentioning Suno on all the cover images. I have never hidden the fact that When I use Suno, I always mention the fact. So I now use the Circle80 monika as the artist; and of course IS John Dyhouse with Suno. And often, when appropriate recognise the persona used. Suno defines a persona as a recognisable voice and the prompt used for genre and style, etc. It simply helps me to classify the songs where I have used this Suno feature.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Consider promo (promotion) track from the ole Rainforest Cowboy!  Sometimes its hard to be heard and small injustices go noticed.  I like to create songs - real stories to a beat - to help put a light on what matters in life - connections, hope, working together.  To this end I often write about food banks, community centers, homelessness, despair and much more.  If you have a story to share, personal experiences or just ideas please let me know.  It can be about where you live, your city, your nation, happy or sad - its your story, I just add the beat.

When You Need a Song Written!, Cowboy Can!!

My story, a bit about the story-teller, the song-writer.  My flight out had been cancelled March 16, 2020 due to lock-downs and I was stuck in the City of Toronto.  This is my story of being stuck in Canada during the lock-downs.  The story of the cowboy whom does live in the rain forest of the Philippines, stuck in th bustling City of Toronto, in Canada.

I'm a 61 year old born and raised in Canada.  My parents were both Austrian (Europe).  I'm married and my wife was born and raised in Luzon, Philippines.  Since 1997 I also live in the Philippines.  I have many interests: motorcycles, ebikes and bikes, horses, agri-forestry, computers, writing, song-writing, Chinese-Donghua (and some Japanese-Anime), inventions, doing the impossible, repairing things, projects, esoteric and much more.  While many take one path in life I love exploring and the roads seldom used.

I'll get an email address up - if you have a story to tell let the ole Rainforest Cowboy know.  I love to write about peoples' experiences, their cities and nations, hobbies, hopes and fears.  Maybe you're in love, promoting a charity, or missing a lost one - if you would like to share, I'll make a song about it.

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.

We hope you enjoy our music.

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. Now retiring off stage and doing what I do with new productions. 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.

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.

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! :-)
