Name: Joy And Tragic by Bell of ZERO
Duration: 3 min 37 s
Description: another older song from around 1994. Needed some dusting off... Now it sounds kind of how it always was supposed to be.

Heartfelt thanks to Torbjørn for this composition that he invited Dairv and me to be a part of. With the poetry of Emily Brontë , this became a journey in nature, about hope and about light.
May we take care of our wonderful nature.

Poem by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

VIII
The battle had passed from the height,
And still did evening fall;
While heaven with its restful night
Gloriously canopied all.

The dead around were sleeping
On heath and granite grey,
And the dying their last watch were keeping
In the closing of the day.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
How golden bright from earth and heaven
The summer day declines!
How gloriously o'er land and sea
The parting sunbeam shines!
There is a voice in the wind that waves
Those bright rejoicing trees.
·⁠·⁠·⁠·⁠·
Not a vapour had stained the breezeless blue,
Not a cloud had dimmed the sun,
From the time of morning's earliest dew
Till the summer day was done.

And all as pure and all as bright
The sun of evening died,
And purer still its parting light
Shone on Lake Elnor's tide.

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Thank you dear Debbie and Arne for the great JOY!

Spring turns into summer, no matter what the world looks like, no matter how dark it looks. With summer comes more light. 
This version of Summertime reflects many emotions, including the joy of what nature gives us in terms of light and new life.
"Summertime" is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and Ira Gershwin. 
The song is sung several times throughout Porgy and Bess, and in act 3 by Bess, singing to Clara's now-orphaned baby after both parents died in the storm.
Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim characterized Heyward's lyrics for "Summertime" as "the best lyrics in the musical theater".

The Hand Lender

As the need,
Came apparent,
Said I'd change,
And I will.

But then I'll wait,
With tomorrow,
Growing closer,
Closer still

From a running start,
Was a matter of when.
But telling was my heart,
Aching now as then.
And there was me thinking,
Thinking again.

To a point,
I was certain,
But I can't,
Shake the thought.

It will all,
Come to nothing,
As each dawn,
Tails off.

From a running start,
Was a matter of when.
But telling was my heart,
Aching now as then.
And there was me thinking,
Thinking again.

Pacing

just your average song about two people who just couldn't get along. and it kinda ends up badly.
it's not about anyone in particular. It's just a song.

It Happened On A Sunday

another older song from around 1994. Needed some dusting off... Now it sounds kind of how it always was supposed to be.

Joy And Tragic

Music balances life... these are all home recorded songs, my own stuff and some covers. I like Soundcloud to share them with family and friends. A warm welcome to anyone incidentally surfing through from the outside world ;-)
Leave a comment, if you like!
Being a spare time musician only, I enjoy reading other member's equipment descriptions for education. Here is what I use:
- Macbook Pro with Logic Pro X for recording, effects, synths, Drums and mixing/mastering. 
- All recordings earlier than 2020 were Garageband only... sorry for that
- Several Guitars (BMG red spcl, Fender Strat (mod), Fender Telecaster Deluxe, Duesenberg Starplayer TV+, Yairi 12 String, Washburn accoustic)
- Marcus Miller Bass
- Boss ME-80 Guitar Multieffects
- Rode NT1-A Microphone

Having said that - this is no studio equipment, so you hear best what I hear, if you use headphones ;-)
