The „Witness Statement“ (Crow No 3)

1
"...that you find me here is really just a pure coincidence
Things are very clear at the scenery of the incident 

ref
I don’t really know those two, 
I think I have seen them before
Once they sat on the shoulders of a deceased god 
They used to whisper to 

I’m only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but a casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

2
I'm on my way home - a beech tree, close by, 
Have  been searching for long
Even has a balkony and a secret hiding place in the roots, 
Plenty of room for lots of stuff and things, even got a roof

ref
I really don’t know those two 
I think I have seen them before
Once they sat on the shoulders of a deceased god  
They used to whisper to 

But I - only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but an innocent casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

3
The victim ? - Isn’t known to me…
I remember before it was seen higher up
It was pink and looked like a pumping heart which was  too cocky on the run
At its lower end something small blinked seductively in the rising sun

ref
I don’t really know those two
(Though they are of my kind)
I think I have seen them before
Didn’t they sit on the shoulders of a deceased god 
They used to whisper to ?

But me, only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but an innocent casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

On my way home
Just passing by…"

The Witness Statement (Crow No 3) ft Mikey McFaffington and his Saxophonic Adventures

This is actually a remix of the song “Where We Want To Be” which I shared about four years ago when I first joined Soundcloud.   “Winter's Road” was in fact the original title when the song was written.  So I decided to fall back to that with this remix.   See what you think.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
I cannot speak for all who stem
Long road less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
By words they spoke and did not say.

(Chorus)
All roads lead to where we go
Where we go is where we have been,
So home’s just a word we know,
For where we want to be again.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

Repeat Chorus

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is gonna to be
Another road or just a place.

Repeat Chorus

Winter's Road

This song began with Jeff (Stoner Jazz) sending the foundational tracks of guitar and drum/bass machine to Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), who added some additional guitar and sound effects. They then sent it over to Terry, who added synth and percussion to the second half, as well as took over the role of producer for the entire track. Terry then sent it to me. I added the mandolin and the five string fretless bass to the whole thing. Terry used Hosam's vocals for flavor at the beginning, too. I had a lot of fun working on this one. Jeff and Stephen are excellent musicians, who are open to pushing the envelope of creativity. Terry is similarly open minded and super talented behind the board. Hosam's vocals were just right for what we were trying to do, too. I sincerely hope that that, although this is already my second song with Terry, that it will be the first of many with Jeff and Stephen, as well. all of these guys make exciting, amazing music on their own, too. I'm honored to be a part of their musical world.

And strap on the rest of the gear required for an interplanetary exodus - ok...maybe wait for a century 'cos we will have screwed things so badly that the hostile environs of Mars (albeit in habitable 'biome pods') may be the only viable alternative!!

Farewell To Planet Earth

Who You Callin' Cry Baby

Bee - original song & words written, performed, recorded & published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on 30th November 2014.

BEE                                        words written by Tom Nied

There are times when 
I'm not bee enough for you my flower
I don't cling enough to climb your ivory tower
but I still love you

There are times when
I will stray in to the distance
as I feed on worlds resistance
but I still love you

The day we meet on common ground
hopes and dreams where not around
the steps we took lead us astray
but we stayed together and found a way

And may it stay the way its going
And we get there without knowing
And then we'll find the strength to say enough
And we'll lead a balanced life

It's not about how far you can go
It's to find a place where your happiness grows
