Such apt words, a beautiful tribute to peace!

Speaking of texture.  Super cool vocal, opposes the initial vocals.  Great stuff.

this track is majestic, the arrangement and feel is so grand and touching, love the indie folk vibe and those jangling guitars, the vocals (and vocal arrangement) are just incredible and inspired, everyone sounds so good together, fantastic songwriting and message, really good song!!!

We learn nothing from history,there's always someone new who thinks they can do the same thing without mistakes. This is a towering folk flavoured masterpiece. Great concept and superb vocal work Terry.

This was my third collaborative song with Rodolfo, which we started in 2020. The original instrumental piece he gave me sounded like determined optimism and at that particular moment the pandemic made its way into anything I wrote although the beauty of the song is that anyone can bring their own interpretation to its meaning. Its original title was ‘Camino a Mañana’, that I translated as ‘The Route To Tomorrow’ - I guess I liked the alliteration - even though it was a bit of a tongue twister to sing.

I instantly loved the rhythmic punch of this track and recognised early on that it would require a punchy lyric and vocal. Initially I sung the harmony vocals that Rodolfo devised, but as we later developed into the band ‘Continental Collision’ it made sense to draw on all of the talent available in Ce and Gonza, and here introducing Cintia Galeano. Huge thanks to my wonderfully gifted collaborators, you helped make this song shine. I was stunned (as always) by Rodolfo’s attention to detail, his glorious guitar solos and particularly the drumming throughout. Although I might not add to the instrumentation personally, Rodolfo always encourages me to give him feedback. I am particularly fond of this collaboration and each time we work together I learn so much more. Hope you enjoy it too and many thanks for listening. 

Finding the way,
To get through night and day,
Is just too much.
Making your way
Once more through the fray,
Without losing touch,
Is too much,
For me, yeah.

Waiting in line, 
With no hint of a sign,
Is just too much.
Pretending I’m fine 
Knowing that you’re not mine,
It’s too, it’s just too much,
For me,
All of the time.

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

I’ll be OK, 
Whatever they say,
I can take it.
Know I can’t stay,
Gotta get me away
From here.
Before it gets too much for me, here.

I can survive,    
I might even just thrive.
If I make it.
I’m still alive,
Watch me as I arrive,
At the other side of all this pain and sorrow  

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

She starts to dance
As the music plays
This beautiful girl on the dance floor 
Is glancing my way

She looks so good
With her moves so fine
Twisting and turning the night away 
I wish she were mine

Oh won’t you dance with me 
Oh won’t you dance with me 
My whole life through
I’ve wanted to dance
With someone like you

I start to move
To a beautiful song
I shuffle my feet on the dance floor 
As she leads me on

A touch of the hand
We begin to sway
And moving her body so close to mine 
I hear her say

Oh won’t you dance with me 
Oh won’t you dance with me 
My whole life through
I’ve wanted to dance
With someone like you

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Rivas @j-rivas

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

An Easter message? Music against war?All wars are wrought with inhuman threads of unwarranted violence and destruction whether in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Congo or... (place any name of any war at any time in history).
In this one, a special military pox upon Putin and his house and all those who abuse and terrorize innocents and rain destruction upon all those who simply want to live and to exist. Justice? Where? ICC - we hope you're leading the charge for justice, and NATO, EU, UN - don't look away!

 (Don't)Look Away

1)Another day, another day in this war. 
A family man asks - What’s it all for?
Have we forgotten what we came here for? Don’t run away.   

To kill a man, a woman or a child. 
There’s something wrong, wrong in their minds.   
They look to God, but he does what He does best. He looks away. Hey?   

There’s always war in a far distant land
and civilised man goes out to lend a hand.
Holy Lands? Are you having a laugh? 
Laugh away, hey…  laugh away….hey…

(CHORUS)
I CAN SEE THEM ALL - LAGGING BEHIND. 
THEY’RE NOT PART OF THIS - HUMAN KIND
THINGS GOT SLOW, SLOW IN THE HEAD. 
WHY DON’T YOU GO SHOOT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…YAAH

2) Armies are led by those who think they’re right. 
Tell us they want peace.    
To get it they must fight for… the love of God pray how is this right? 
Pray away. 
They say destruction is their means to an end. 
Aim their gun at what once was their friend.
Turn their back on humanitarian trends. Then look away, 
hey… they look away…

(CHORUS)     

(MID BREAK)   
Lay down on your pillow…sleep tight with your greed 
because your safe… you’ll dream… while others bleed…
and you tell me…that God is on your side…you don’t believe it…
and that’s what I despise….
then you look away…
nd then you look away…

3) They shake a fist with a gun in their hand. 
It’s an action only they understand. 
One step away… from a hellish end. 
Shake away… shake - away…  

If there’s a place I could send them all. 
Be deep space, on a hot fiery ball  
Where you can all…Happily annihilate yourselves!                                                                        Then fire away…fire away, fire away…hey…

(CHORUS)

4) One more day is too much in this war. 
The family man asks - What’s it all been for? 
His loved one’s buried with his heart in the floor. 
Please look away…

============ Lyrics ===================
fuck this shit i quit
do not want to hear it no more

this is it you bitch
what you thought was gonna happen

falling in the pit
can not take back all of this shit

i will not be missed
guess you never really loved me

when i start to trip
no you never try to stop me

think I'm gonna snap
can not see past this illusion

tell me when to stop
but you know i never listen

this is not the way
that i ever thought it would be
-----------------------------------
This is so wrong i hate it
nothing to say  can't change it

drugs can't control my urges
what have i done to my mind

what can i say i'm evil
i must find god so peaceful
------------------------------------------------------
tell me when it hurts
i have lost all of my patience

this is not a game
gag your mouth so you can not scream

now i think your dead
take the knife right out of your head

this is for the best
i did it because i love you

looking at your face
blood is dripping cause i beat you

there is nothing left
but the thoughts inside of my head

what have i just done
make it dark so i can't see you

end it all like this
i will join you in the abyss
--------------------------------------------------
This is so wrong i hate it
nothing to say  can't change it

drugs can't control my urges
what have i done to my mind

what can i say i'm evil
i must find god so peaceful

DayByDay

This world we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well it’s not always easy
No it’s not always fair
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

Solo

Revelations explode into colourful fireworks
As our atoms mingle with the stars and the universe

The past is remembered 
The future untold
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well this world that we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by
Yes we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

DayByDay

Hallowed Be Thy Name

Firstly being a song with traditional 6/4 signature, I redid the central section in 4/4 to add strength, same as with my previously posted song.

Also, I 'needed' to cut last quarter note out of the instrumental bridges and play them in 5/4.

After these artificialities, I tried a mild sound to please your ears ;)

Letra (Translated lyrics):

Ven (Come)

Ven… cógeme con tus manos, tan limpias, tan solas, tan blancas, tan suaves, ven…
   (Come … take me with your hands, so clean, so lonely, so white, so soft, come …)
Ven… bésame con tus labios, tan tiernos, tan prietos, tan lejos, tan dulces, ven…
   (Come … kiss me with your lips, so tender, so tight, so distant, so sweet, come …)

Ven… guíame con tus ojos, tan puros, tan ciegos, tan tuyos, tan graves, ven…
   (Come … guide me with your eyes, so pure, so blind, so yours, so serious, come …)
Ven… pídeme lo que quieras y dime que nunca podrías dejarme… ven…
   (Come … ask me whatever you want and tell me you could never leave me … come …)

Ven y méceme en tus brazos. (Come and swing me in your arms.)
Ven y guárdame en tu seno. (Come and keep me in your bosom.)
Ven y duérmeme en tu regazo. (Come and get me asleep on your lap.)
Ven… ven… ven… (Come … come … come …)

Ven… cántame con tu risa, tan clara, tan rara, tan fresca, tan triste, ven…
   (Come … sing to me with your laugh, so clear, so rare, so fresh, so sad, come …)
Ven… llámame con tu gesto, tan sabio, tan lacio, tan quieto, tan fuerte, ven…
   (Come … call me with your gesture, so wise, so languid, so still, so strong, come …)

Ven… ámame con tu vida, tan dura, tan libre, tan hueca, tan calma, ven…
   (Come … love me with your life, so hard, so free, so hollow, so calm, come …)
Ven… pídeme lo que quieras y dime que nunca podrías dejarme… ven…
   (Come … ask me whatever you want and tell me you could never leave me … come …)

Connecting, creating and sharing with others has been quite a transformative experience and one that I trust will continue for years to come. I enjoy listening to musicians on SC, and try to leave encouraging and descriptive comments.
Who said retirement can't be fun!
