oh this starts beautifuly - bass, acoustic and your voice built a union

superbly done - the built, polyphonic phrases and the arrangement are wonderful - the lyrics are heartfelt

Wonderfully delivered song, such tender performances!

Very nice work! Your voice sounds wonderfully mellow in this song.

Just gorgeous songwriting and performance! Absolutely impressive ballad, so gentle and moving..

I have had the honor to collaborate with an AMAZING composer, Till Indy.

A little something Phil McWalter sent for me to listen to years ago. I sprinkled a little too much pixie dust on this one and so had to scrap the idea although he pulled off quite a nice mix on his site.

I know… if I look away
I’m better off to see…
Time in a different way
And how it should be…
The minutes move so slowly
And sow their seeds…
Morning takes away the darkness
Eventually…

And if…I don’t miss the chance
To take it all in inside
Before walls come crumbling down
And we run and hide…
The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

This is a song that Chris wrote and shared with Ken and me. We all used BandLab to work on the song together. it started with Chris' badass bass line and arrangement. Ken added some killer drums, in a very odd time. then I add some guitar over the top. I really like how this sounds like we're in room jamming together. Also, Chris produced and mixed this one, and another excellent job he did! We all hope you enjoy it!

i wrote this song after reading a great book by Raymond Blanc.....im not sure why, as the song has nothing at all to do with cooking, and RB is always such a happy fellow...............thanks if you are having a listen

Once

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

Debra 's been generous enough to let me try to sing something over her beautiful "Song for the morning ". Thx a million my dear friend :))

Morning Song 

you feel my gaze and you wake up
and then slowly you seek my voice
when you have so much trouble waking up from sleep
I want to be near you
because you're looking at me with that unmistakable look because you squeeze my hand
to say "it's forever "
so I wrote this morning song for you

Chanson Du Matin (translated) w/ Debra Buesking

lyrics:

i miss when the clouds
used to look like people
when the sun was warmer than the roof
and every creature sings for me still
but now they only sing when you lose

and i said
where do these people go to spend
their time
doing something interesting

and i said
wearing the tune it covers ya head
but when you wear it
you drown instead

take me
oh my voice it used to ring
safely
when the words would make us sing

and i said
where do these people go to spend
their time
doing something interesting

and i said
wearing the tune it covers ya head
but when you wear it
you drown instead

i said

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd
