Your Mix 3

I Believe ft. XHOI

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

Hey, my friend
Have a thing to say
To tell you
Been around and learning you

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

Hey, my friend
Looking out for me
My brother
Surely true, I've needed you

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

Evening comes, you promise light anew

Light Anew

Help me see

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’ t find the words tonight

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight


Shining down or in your eyes 
I can’t see the stars tonight
Help me see 
Help me see the stars tonight

I could live a simple life
Slow it down or take a flight
I could live a simple life
I could live a simple life

I can’t see the see stars tonight
I can’t find the words tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
Help me see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’t find the words I like……

Help me see

"Hunk of Junk" has been written in a digital 4-track collaboration in February 2024. I started with the guitar track, SPH recorded the organ, Cheslain lyrics and vocals and Mt. Mélodie added drum track and mixed everything. When I started this song, I had no idea how it would turn out, and I am very grateful for the additions and the final mixdown.

==== LYRICS ====

Been driving forever 
On this endless highway 
Cities gone past 
Towns left behind 

Crossed over the horizon 
So many times, yeah 
Scenery flying by the window 

My hands are wet on the wheel 
My foot is cramping on the pedal 
My eyes are weary from staring 
At the cone of my headlights 

It's been scorching hot 
It's been freezing cold 
I've had the sun in my eyes 
And the moon shine on my hood 

Will I ever get home? 
Will this road ever end? 
Purgatory of tarmac 
I feel like I've done my time 

My hands are wet on the wheel 
My foot is cramping on the pedal 
My eyes are weary from staring 
At the cone of my headlights 

Hunk of junk don't you fail me now 
Hunk of junk don't you fail me now 
Hunk of junk don't you fail me now 
Hunk of junk don't you fail me now 

Miles gone, miles left to go 
Miles gone, miles left to go 
Miles gone, miles left to go 
Miles gone, miles left to go 

My hands are wet on the wheel 
My foot is cramping on the pedal 
My eyes are weary from staring 
At the cone of my headlights 

Hunk of junk don't fail me now

Hunk of Junk (Don't Fail Me Now)

The words behind this song of ABBA is very different to the title, which is very appropriate during this years Olympic Games.
So I was tempted to create this instrumental cover.
Hope you enjoy the experience.

LYRIC
In the dreams I dream about you 
We’ve always time to spare 
And it seems like you’re about to
Tell me that you care

It’s the loneliest of feelings
To wake in the cold dawn
And the dream is gone
The dream is gone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
When the morning arrives
With its first sunbeam
I go where the day takes me
But at night I can dream

In the dreams I dream there’s times when
Rain falls down in sheets
I can’t find a door to step in
As I walk the empty streets

Then you’re there to offer shelter
As you hold a raincoat wide
And I fold inside 
I fold inside 
Your raincoat wide

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I lay down my head
And my heart pumps away
My body needs rest 
But my brain wants to play
It’s the world of the past
Sent out in a stream
I may be an old man 
But I can still dream
I can still dream
The dreams I dream

The Dreams I Dream

If You Only Had A Minute

Choices

"Living the Dream" is a Folk/Pop duet that challenges the idea of what is normal, celebrating a love so real it defies expectations. This song is a powerful confession of finding an extraordinary love that not everyone gets to experience. The lyrics, driven by soft and emotional verses and a controlled, stronger chorus, tell the story of a man who knows he is one of the lucky few. It's a declaration of a love that is a dream, and a promise that this dream is real and not an illusion. The song, with its acoustic guitar and piano foundation and warm harmonies, is a joyous ode to a love that is an "angel." The track's heartfelt lyrics are a beautiful reminder that a dream can become a reality, and a love that is not ordinary is the most beautiful of all. What is your normal? Is it a dream?

Lyrics
Living the Dream

They say, it is not that easy
We go through life believing, believing
Thinking we are going to make it, make it
Seeing the dream in front of us, but not many get there (no, no they don’t)

But, I got to tell you, I am one of the few (I see the dream, yeah dream)
Your walkin beside me everyday, your in my arms every night
This is a man living the dream, and everyone would tell you (including me)
This is not likely to happen, it is not the normal, it is not the ordinary
But I am living the dream, I am going to take it, who cares about the normal. (not me, ooooh)

Everyday, you care for me, your always there
You love me in every way, I am never left guessing (your love is there)
It is a dream to be with you, each night you lay down with me
I know it is real, it is our ordinary, it is our normal (living the dream)

(Real, yeah real ….. ooooh our ordinary ……ooooh our normal …. Oooh yeah)

But, I got to tell you, I am one of the few (I see the dream, yeah dream)
Your walkin beside me everyday, your in my arms every night
This is a man living the dream, and everyone would tell you (including me)
This is not likely to happen, it is not the normal, it is not the ordinary
But I am living the dream, I am going to take it, who cares about the normal. (not me, ooooh)

But, I got to tell you, I am one of the few (I see the dream, yeah dream)
Your walkin beside me everyday, your in my arms every night
This is a man living the dream, and everyone would tell you (including me)
This is not likely to happen, it is not the normal, it is not the ordinary
But I am living the dream, I am going to take it, who cares about the normal. (not me, ooooh)

This is our dream, and I got to tell you it is not ordinary, it is not normal, but it is ours (ooooh …..yeah ….yeah…. living the dream)
