傘があれば / If only I had an umbrella

君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


だれの　ために
今宵道を照らす？

想いの　限り
手を振るひとをみた


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


翼が　あれば
君のもとへ行こう

傘が　あれば
君に傾けよう


君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い

傘があれば / If only I had an umbrella

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."
~ https://jesusway4you.com/2020/06/24/signs-and-symbols-of-the-bible-jordan-river/

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

The Last Scene

I couldn’t release any new song for a long time because of a long Covid (maybe..)
For this song I have already recorded my guitar and vocals in last December, but all the arrangements , mixing and mastering is just finished. It took too much time though, I can say that I did my best for all the process. And so I’ll be very happy if you listen and enjoy it.
Sazanka is a name of winter flower often seen anywhere in Japan. I love to see the flowers falling on the ground like snow flakes. It makes me think of our life time and all the beautiful gifts from the nature.

Lyrics

Flowers, blowing wind
Flowing over my head
Slip inside ,Break me down
I see you, how once we, lately again

But I hope you remember me 
There are leaves falling on
Still my eyes keep on (the ) flow
Couldn’t take my eyes off, All…

When we’re outside into the shadows
Fall on ground
She left behind away
 I missing you all alone
 In the world
                    
When we’re outside into the shadows
 Fall on ground
 She never find your way
 I missing you all alone
 
  I missing , dreaming, over over again

Sazanka

IT WAS SOMETHING YOU SAID
IT WAS THE THINGS WE DID
THAT PUSHED THE TRAIN OFF THE RAILS
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN

NOW SEPARATE WE SAIL
I BET IT’S HARD TO TELL
WHICH ONE TO BLAME 
FOR WHAT HAPPENED HERE 
STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE

YOU COULD THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL         
BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE WE FALL           
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

IS YOUR BOAT STILL FLOATING
CAUSE MINE IS SINKING

I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T  LONG BEFORE I STALLED               
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE I STALLED            
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS  
THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

3 COME TOGETHER, which was produced in Nashville, TN by Musik and Film studios by Stephen Wrench and Wayne Killius. This song tells the story of a guy who has everything is his life going bad from a boss who makes him work until his fingers are raw to the bone; a truck with a flat tire; a boat on the river that won't float and a cabin in the woods with a leaky roof. However, his life gets better when 3 magical things come together 1. Whiskey, 2. Cold Beer and 3. a Pretty Woman.  This song hit No. 5 on the World Indie Music Top 100 chart list on November 14, 2023 and No. 3 on the Euro Indie Network Music list. See review by Euro Indie Music Network-

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

As i traveled around the uk and europe in the summer of 2023
i became aware of how people use the power of dance to express them selfs and entertain .
I filmed and captured the moments of this and turned it into this song and a music video ,it kinda has a global message of freedom too in the lyrics and i ask the question the more they take away the things we enjoy the more people will find a way to celebrate and try and enjoy life.

My latest track is an abstract artform of the biblical story David and Goliath. It starts with Guitar being my representation of David. And Bass For Goliath. After that the fight scene as bridge and the overwhelming happyness for the outro. I really enjoy the Moral of the story of facing your fears head on.

Lyrics : Star Fields © Nathan Jon Tillett  2012

Star fields, deep fields,
We crossed the bridge of space and time,
Solar winds scatter our forgotten dreams now dust,
Realities entwine.

Star fields, deep fields,
We left the fabric frayed and torn,
Soaked in the blood of dying stars still screaming light,
A universe reborn.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
