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!!
Enjoy the (9 month)ride Earthlings......

Farewell To Planet Earth

Who You Callin' Cry Baby

Piece triggered by events that have been happening for more than 2 years now. All this has been caused by atrocious act of men against innocent civilians followed by arrogant and criminal indifference from most European countries towards sheer suffering and despair experienced by those who fled the violence in Syria. 

 Entire track written, performed, recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)in July 2017

INDIFFERENCE

I was lost & I felt abandoned my heart hardened
but then it sunk to the  bottom of the sea
among the dead there are those that live as fires waiting to be spread

They didn't cross the sea, they didn't walk for weeks
they didn't reach the end to take the first steps

There's a voice in you and me that repeats what others see
because we're made by words that others speak
There's a voice in you and me that repeats what others see
because we're made by worlds that others build

They didn't cross the sea, they didn't walk for weeks
they didn't reach the end to take the first steps

Through the tedious days of dread I walk alone instead
while all my friends are dead
From bomb torn scenery through the streets of charity
I want a chance to simply be
The lies through which you see me set fire deep within me 
Yet still I want to fit and still I want to be here
but there's no place for me to be
