My pops has a terminal illness, his days are short and this song is for him. (The track is a revision of an idea posted recently--second guitar part threw the thing in a whole new direction):

Dad pokes his head in the bedroom
Flashes me a sly smile
He says "up and at 'em"
And all I can think is, why is he calling me Adam?

My brother and I are fighting
And I call him stupid, call him ugly
Then Dad says, "you're no Adonis"
And all I can think is, what is an "adonis"?

Now strange days are upon us
The tables have turned at last
I'll say goodbye to my father
Before too long, won’t be too long now

Dad says, "the hardest thing
Is to take the middle road
The extremes are so easy"
Oh how did he know?

Yes strange days are upon us
The center may not hold
But I'll think of you my father
Before it’s gone, before it slips away

Dad's Song

I'm making songs at midnight in my room. I play acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and I sing.

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.

Greetings!

Slava Ukraïni to listeners in Ukraine.

Music has always been a fundamental part of my life, even if not always at the immediate forefront of my activities. I've studied classical guitar, and had some keyboard lessons early in life, unfortunately from an uninspiring teacher. I disappointed my guitar instructor when I bought my first electric guitar. In the late 70s through the 80s I played with friends in various bands with varying levels of ability and seriousness. During the 90s and into the 2000s I focused my life on other things. Then, beginning about 2015, I began building up a home studio, trying to renew my ability to play multiple instruments, and working on writing and recording my own music as a creative outlet. I've always enjoyed writing, and want to become better at integrating music and words to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions in a way that others might appreciate. Good music has the power to move people, to communicate at a deeper level than words alone. I hope I can create some music that others might consider good! Also, It's just damn fun to rock out and create new things. I plan to work up a coherent set of tunes to play live and record for the world to hear, or at least a few people! 

I ignore fake and fawning messages about my uploads and offers to promote my music. If you're not real and honest, I have no time for you.
