Monday Playlist week of 10/11/2021

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

To the beauty of simple things, like that of this beautiful Spanish Sparrow

SPARROW

Usher Valse by Nikita Koshkin

Well, my good friend Paco dropped me a note to say he had a piece of music to which I might like to try and add something, were I so inclined.  Always a good day when that happens.

Now, I can't honestly recall the precise sequence in which the neurons fired inside my skull to yield the result we have here, but we are where we are as they say.

Don't go looking at me for rationale.

Thank you, Paco, as always my friend, for inviting me to come out to play, and for mastering the end result in the midst of untold techno-horror grief.  I hope your DAW world resolves itself very soon.

Socrates at Sundown

I lie bewildered, here, in my sphere of cubes,
On crushed silk cushions sprawled.
I sketch the cool Palladian dudes
In charcoal, on Aleutian walls.
They think I know what thoughts are theirs,
And beg to trade their graceless airs, 
But I left them there to climb their stairs
Ever downward through Athenian halls.

They say my knowledge is remiss,
The diabolical's back in town.
Seems ignorance is bliss
For this philosophical clown.
I'm seeking emptiness of mind,
That's where I hope to find
That old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

My associate, Plato knows the game
Survives through pretty dialogue
He suffocates but bestows his shame
On city states whose statutes fog
The heads of people in their ranks
Attentive on the Eridanos banks
Dispensing death by way of thanks
As justice shreds its cogs.

Deep mental grasp of social structure
No need to ever write it down
Accused outcast for youth's corrupture
Where the bleeding of democracy is bound
To seek the causal end of time
Of Aristotle and Nietzsche's kind
The men of Athens rendered blind
Killed that old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

This composition, based on a melodic Alberti bass, fills the air with promises of bright beginnings, new hopes, adventures, and nostalgy.

~~~~~~~
Soft morn breezes whispers 
secrets of the day
Promising fresh adventures 
along its way..
With shining hopes 
of a bright beginning
The new day turns into
gentle reminiscing..

Embrace this day 
with light and hope 
We face with all our might
troubles to cope..
For life is but a journey
a magnificent ride
We looked in wonder
the tears we cried..

Morning Breeze in D Major (Piano and Strings) collab with Carlos Hof

Composition & Piano: Debra Buesking ("Where Are You Now"
Vocal & Lyric: Finn Eces

Written to the beautiful Debra Buesking piece ‘Where are you’, 

The song that resulted is a scene of an older couple, enjoying their own company, a sunset and moonrise, and the silence and easy conversation that comes with time, age and peace.

I Do

Wild frenzied flute solo - as can occasionally happen when warming up before a 'first take'....just had to keep it..glad I pressed record!
Flutezilla was born!

FLUTEZILLA

Here’s one that was recorded way back, pretty rough production but I still quite like it.
Lyrics 
I see you standing in the corner of the room
Guess you think it's kinda cool
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Checked you out and you're looking good
All dressed up like I new you would
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Grooving to the music and you're looking great
Don't waste time 'cos it's getting late
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

You're dancing fast and you're dancing slow
Come on Hon lets give it a go
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

I see your friends are pointing my way
Come on over Hon and say
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Instrumental, Verse One, Verse Two, Chorus, Outro

Come on and dance with me

Oh, Yeah!
Well, The Sun Comes Up
And, the Sun Goes Down
And......I'm Tired of Walking
The Streets of this Old Town
Haven't Seen You Around
Maybe I'll check at The Lost and Found
Oh Yeah, but, there's one thing
And I know it's True
Cuz', Baby, I ain't going Nowhere......
Without You
No, I ain't going nowhere 
Without You.....Yeah
That's Alright
Oh, Yeah, It's OK
Listen to what I say now
To what I say......
Cuz' The Sun Comes Up
And the Sun Goes Down
Said I'm Tired of Walking 
Around this Crazy Old Town
But, there's One Thing
And I know It's True
I don't want to be here 
Without You
No.... Without You
I Don't want to be here
Baby, Without You!

Portuguese  Translated Lyrics
Oh sim!
Bem, o sol nasce
E, o sol se põe
E ...... Estou cansado de andar
As ruas desta cidade velha
não te vi por aqui
Talvez eu vou encontra-te em achados e perdidos
Oh Sim, mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Cuz, Bebê, eu não estou indo a lugar nenhum ......
Sem você
Não, eu não vou a lugar nenhum
Sem Você ..... Sim
Tudo bem
Oh, Sim, é OK
Ouça o que eu digo agora
Para o que eu digo......
Porque "o sol nasce
E o sol se põe
Disse que estou cansado de andar
Em torno desta cidade louca e Velha
Mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Eu não quero estar aqui
Sem você
Não .... Sem Você
Eu não quero estar aqui
Bebê, sem você!

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics

Singer Songwriter Performer Producer . I have  a humble studio JUST good enough to create demos for my library of originals.  I play all the instruments and record alone.  BUT I do perform with a full band live  Cheers !!
I have Also Started Making and adding  Videos For Fun.
"When I start a song, I really try to finish it, whether it's good or bad, because I've found that I'm the worst judge. I have a problem satisfying myself, I'm always wanting to do something better than before. When I come back to songs, I try to finish them no matter what, and if you still don't like it when it's finished, you learn something by working on it " ALVIN LEE. These words seem to fit well for me and my approach to song writing. and yes CHEERS
