Waltz Of Forgotten Hopes - Improvised Piano Piece

Bit of a Viking thing going on with this track.  

To me, Vinland symbolizes the adventurous spirit of the Norse people, and their seafaring skills.  I wanted to compose an adventurous piece that captured that spirit, and imagined the meeting of two tribes; the Norse and the Native Americans, people who both revered thunder gods! With 'Vinland,' I endeavored to capture and convey that sense of adventure and cultural encounter.

This song I wrote in 2013 and it's a word play. I tried to rhyme as many colors as I could think of and set it up in a psychedelic landscape. Charlie sang it very well and it was a very hard song to sing. Charlie also played a very psychedelic harmonica in it. I overdubbed lots of vocals towards the end and even had a parade in there. The video is pure eye candy in the right frame of mind, it took me a long time to put the video together but I found every color I was looking for, and many artists creating beautiful paintings! Look for the weird parade at the end, I think that parade happens in Europe somewhere? This a very colorful song & Video. Watch the video for a colorful trip - https://youtu.be/ZsdI0izogpg
So sit back, relax, and enjoy your cocktail of choice or whatever! Get ready to hear colors and see kaleidoscopic sights! Enjoy!

“COLOR ME GONE”

I’M YOUR CANVAS IN THE MORNING,
YOUR PALLET IN THE EVENING,
YOUR EASEL LATE AT NIGHT,  
USE A CRIMSON RED, OR PALE GREEN INSTEAD,
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE,
              
BRUSH ME IN VIBRANT PASTEL COLORS,
PLUSH PURPLE LIKE NO OTHER,  
OR A CANOPY OF BLUE,
BLACK AND WHITE’S OKAY, OR DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREY, 
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE,  
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE,  

[MIDDLE 8 - LEAD] 
     
SPLASH A BIT OF ORANGE SUNSHINE,
A TOUCH OF MELLOW YELLOW, 
A HINT OF MANDARIN TOO,
I’M JUST YOUR BRUSH, YOUR TOOL, YOUR RAINBOW FOOL,
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE, 
COLOR ME GONE, LONG GONE,
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE, 
COLOR ME GONE, LONG GONE,
COLOR ME GONE, COLOR ME GONE, 
COLOR ME GONE, LONG GONE.

"COLOR ME GONE"

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

My father was an amateur musician in a rock band when I was growing up. He made "Vivre ou rever" at the end of the 80s. I was able to recover a recording and I then launched into this remix. Forgive me for the sound quality. The original recording is almost 40 years old. I made it with the means at hand. This track is very different from my previous track. I'm very curious to know what you think about it.

My second Lofi chillout album.
Good for studying, productivity, or just hanging out alone with your thoughts on a rainy day under the covers.

That was a very nice collaboration between Jimmy and I ---> Check him out @ https://on.soundcloud.com/fmRcc85PxpoC9iUB9.

Jimmy had some very cool lyrics, while I had a very cool song, but none of them were actually finished. I tweaked his lyrics a tiny bit and created a chorus for it, while he tweaked my song and added an addictive bridge - not to say the amazing Spanish guitar! So good! I was very pleased with the final result and hopefully you will be too! :)

Am I a fool?

Am I a fool to love you?
I’ve asked myself a million times 
Is it wise for me to be so blind
And put my heart back on the line?

Am I a fool to want you?
Want you so bad it brings me joy?
To have you near, to hold you close, my heart’s deployed
Am I your love or just your toy?

Standing in the rain for way too long
Broken heart, the same old song
Somehow with you  this time I feel so strong
Are you the one or am I wrong?

Am I a fool to miss you?
Believe I’ll always have your heart?
What if I close my eyes and jump too far?
Will I regret it from the start?

Standing in the rain for way too long
Broken heart, the same old song
Somehow with you  this time I feel so strong
Are you the one or am I wrong?

I’ve loved and lost so many times before
By now you’d think I know the score
Can I believe that we were meant to be?
Is love at last in store for me?

Standing in the rain for way too long
Broken heart, the same old song
Somehow with you  this time I feel so strong
Are you the one or am I wrong?

Standing in the rain for way too long
Broken heart, the same old song
Somehow with you  this time I feel so strong
Are you the one or am I wrong?

Am I a fool to trust you?
I’ll close my eyes and make believe 
That you’re the answer to my question?
Am I a fool? I just may be...
