Like Neil Young with the off the cuff lead and simple, melodic stuff underneath, great.

Excellent rock. Really nice guitar melody!

gguetta

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

She was my love
But I let her down
I couldn’t be around
I was never there.

Most of the time
I was off running wild
Going out of my mind
And I didn’t care

Chorus

I’m no good for you 
I’m not what you need
I’m too wrapped up in myself
Drowning in my own greed

I can see her now
Just sitting there
But I didn’t care
About the tears in her eyes

Now my head’s in my hands
Oh I feel ashamed
Got myself to blame
It was down to me

Chorus x 2

Drowning

There's a time for silence, and there's a time we really should talk...

Teu silêncio é uma nau com todos os mastros quebrados.
O teu sorriso flutua entre os homens de vigia,
exemplo paradigmático de eficaz ortodontia.
Teu semblante eletrostático é uma escada para as nuvens,
irritante enciclopédia de problemas insolúveis.
Eu até senti paixão ao ler o enunciado:
"Dado um muro, determine o que está do outro lado."
Fiz as contas, pressupondo seres tu excelente pessoa.
Mas o muro inexpressivo aborrece, e até magoa.
E quanto mais eu persisto, esforçando a mente cansada,
mais me invade uma suspeita de a resposta, ao fim, ser nada.
E nada é o que diz o mar ao homem que nele se afoga,
enquanto lhe nega o dom de um colete ou uma piroga. 
Bem-aventurado o homem a quem mulher sem mistérios
exibe o que tem na alma, com beijos ou vitupérios.

Your silence is a ship with all its masts broken.
Your smile floats among the men on watch,
a paradigmatic example of effective orthodontics.
Your electrostatic countenance is a ladder to the clouds,
an irritating encyclopedia of insoluble problems.
I even felt passion when I read the problem statement:
"Given a wall, determine what's on the other side."
I did the math, assuming you were an excellent person.
But the inexpressive wall annoys, even hurts.
And the more I persist, straining my weary mind,
the more I am seized by a suspicion that the answer, in the end, will be nothing.
And nothing* is what the sea says to the man drowning in it,
while denying him the gift of a lifejacket or a canoe.
Blessed is the man to whom a woman without mysteries
displays what she has in her soul, with kisses or insults.

* In Portuguese "nada" means both "nothing" and "swim"

Teu Silêncio

VIENI SANTO SPIRITO (Sequenza di Pentecoste)
Vieni Santo Spirito,
manda a noi dal cielo
un raggio della tua luce.
Vieni, Padre dei poveri
Vieni, datore dei doni
Vieni, luce dei cuori.
       ………………………………
Dona ai tuoi fedeli,
che solo in Te confidano,
i tuoi santi doni.
Dona virtù e premio
Dona morte santa
Dona gioia eterna. 
Amen, Alleluia.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT (Pentecost Sequence)
Come, Holy Spirit,
send down from heaven
a ray of your light.
Come, Father of the poor
Come, Giver of gifts
Come, Light of hearts.
      ………………………………
Grant to your faithful,
who trust in you alone,
your holy gifts.
Give them virtue and reward.
Give them a holy death.
Give them eternal joy.
Amen, Alleluia.

F-Sleepy Coffee

New song written by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Music and all instruments - Glen Granthem

Vocals - David Cooper

Lyrics - David Cooper

I heard a story many years ago
About a man who didn’t know
What his life was all about
So he just ran around and around

Chorus

Time stood still - He’ll keep on searching
Far and wide - He’ll keep on searching
Up and down - He’ll keep on searching
Round and round - He’ll keep on searching now

Kept on going through the night
Ran across the whole wide world
Didn’t keep his head on straight
Should have listened to what he was told

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

Then one day he realised
What’s been missing all of his life?
Now he listens to what people say
And now he’s found a brand new way

He’s stopped searching - Repeat

My mistake

Distance To Horizon

Hey girls, ever had a crush in the gym locker room ?
Lyrics:
The gym lights hum low as she steps close,  
her sun-tanned skin glistens of recent sweat.  
I breathe her in, deeply like a tropical rose 
Her curly hair cascades, dark and wet.

Her white tank top clings, like a second skin,  
outlining the mounts and valleys of her six pack.  
Burning of desire, my fingers itch to begin,  
A sweet and sexy game with no turning back.  

(Chorus):
I’d like to lick your body.
I’d like to sink in your sweat. 
Let me worship your beauty.
I’d like to be your pet !

Her breath still ragged, her chest still rising,  
I watch the drops slide down her breast.  
I’d like to catch them, taste their salty tracing. 
Would I shiver when she’ll be undressed ?

She peels off her socks, smiling at my gaze,  
Sore muscles flexing beneath the sheen.  
The white room hums with her sexy blaze,  
Like a furnace of desire I’d gladly burn in.  

(Chorus):
I’d like to lick your body.
I’d like to sink in your sweat. 
Let me worship your beauty.
I’d like to be your pet !


(Bridge)
The locker room is quiet, waiting,  
steam curls around her like a veil.  
I ache to be the towel embracing,  
to worship where the heat is frail.  

She turns, naked, her eyes a slow ignition.  
She smirks at the way I stare too long.  
No words—just sweat and my submission,  
Her muscular body, the place I belong.

Sweat and Desires

This is my way. ( 1991 ) Eddy Mango - Margareta Theorin ( Eddy )

David Guetta + Showtek - Sun Goes Down (Feat. MAGIC! + Sonny Wilson) Dj Prostak Remix

Moonlight

This song is about the constancy of music in my life and the fact that no matter what is happening or how I feel, I am always lifted by listening to or creating music. This song is the only one I've ever recorded that uses all four of my 'guitars': my trusty acoustic on which I write 99% of my material, my even older but recently refurbished electric guitar, my newly acquired bass and finally my 8-string bouzouki. Inspired by the amazing @greenwood-burns to record more with my acoustic instruments, the title of song is a tongue-in-cheek nod to being addicted to checking one's SoundCloud statistics - and to celebrate just passing 60,000 plays! Please share if you enjoyed the track, cheers, Chris

Lyrics:

if i'm lower
i'll climb higher
come what may 
i'll play my song

when  i'm weaker
i'll get stronger
come what may
i'll play my song

as times get tougher
i'll work harder
when i'm done
i'll play my song

from caledonia
to california
where i'm home
i'll play my song

after winter
comes the summer
rain or sun
i'll play my song

if i'm alone i'll
come and see ya
and if you want
i'll play my song

My last post before exiting into a "sabbatical" of indeterminate length.  My profound thank to all who have listened to my story.

"We live as we dream ... alone."
Joseph Conrad

LUSH LIFE (featuring Dan Rosati, tenor sax)

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.” 
Ted Hughes

Welcome! I play many guitars, but my favorite is a blond 1973 Telecaster.

I have had the privilege to collaborate with some fine musicians here on soundcloud; I sincerely thank them all. 


Trend kindness. :)
