Lyrics:
You thought you could do
What you did to me
But now we're through
And I can see

You're so vain
You can eat my pain
Drink the rain
Then do it again

Drink my tears
Eat my fears
Chew on this
Bitter kiss

Scrub the stain
I won't refrain
From serving you pain
'Coz you're to blame

Eat my pain babe
It tastes so sweet
Fill your plate honey
It's such a treat
🖤

Eat My Pain

Dusted off the trusty old Volca Drum machine to create the beat for this one. In years past I used it quite a lot, including on many of the early Smoking Trout tracks, but it had been a little while. I'm also continuing to experiment with longer stretches of guitar, and incorporated most of the synth arsenal on this one. This was kind of inspired by reading the news here in the US, a strange mixture of depressing and ridiculous weirdness haha.

A new track idea I will be refining and experimenting with. I have added an updated mix (11.06.2025) with added lead guitar parts. Please feel free to leave a comment as I really appreciate your feedback.

A cold day and a quickie of one of my many favs from the master songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.........cheers for having a listen


Cold On The Shoulder By Gordon Lightfoot

All you need is time All you need is time time time to make it bend
Give it a try don’t be rude put it to the test and I’ll  give it right back to you
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day

Take it around take it to town Try to defy what you feel inside You better be stong your love belongs to us 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day

All you need is is trust  All  you need is trust trust trust to make it show
I don’t want to know everything you’ve done if you get a tip then tell it to the eskimos 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.

All you need is faith All you need is faith faith faith to make it nice
Kick it around don’t be rude if you gonna make a mistake don”t you make it twice 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.

Cold On The Shoulder (Gordon Lightfoot)

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!

Welcome on my profile.

As a young boy, I learned to play the piano with my grandmother, who was a concert pianist. Thanks to her patience, I was brought closer to music. It was a hard but worthwhile way.

After I ended my school training and started my vocational training, the music got into the background. However, the music has accompanied me throughout my life. With increasing age, the music again got a greater status in my life.

First with the old piano of my grandmother, who had long since died and then with a keyboard, I started making music again.

I don't have a studied musical background and make music as a hobby without really had learned about orchestration. I find myself slowly into the topic and I am happy to have found some listeners.

Inspired by many lovely people, who also make music, I develop myself even at older age and look forward to further listeners.

Therefore, have fun hearing my modest works and thank you for the nice comments.
