Go For It  -  words & music by Tom Nied (November 2013)

When you listen you ask about future and past for the sake of tomorrow
Sorrow often comes from in-compliance
only answer is alliance so come and join in 

Preconceptions lead the way
no one looks to see these days
Preconceptions lead the way
We all look to judge in haste

Beauty promised happiness 
but all I've got is an empty space
closed in open plan living
I am feeding my worries with threats
Regrets

I breathe the air and I run against in
I gather strength by losing it
waves keep running ashore in the rhythm I adore
and It drains my mind clear

Its hard to take first step
that sets you on your way
but you got to go for it

Go For It

Words & Music written and performed live by Tom Nied  for my love and miracle that embodies all that's wonderful in my life. My life has never been so good and that's because of you.For I

SONG THAT SWAM THE RIVER

At the time when silence was heard
I wrote a song that swam the river
filled with restless love and secrets of steel
it was hot blooded and real

Launched at random destination
at the time when others sleep
amid night dark complexion
in my secret bottled ship

It travelled far to nearby soul
that answered back and said hello
and so it goes that's how life unfolds
magic of sharing fills the silence
from one to two from blue to you
you I love and cherish with every heartbeat 

It works both ways
and it comes in pairs
but it takes one
to break the silence

Presence is felt

 Windows of Perception
Song written, performed, recorded, mixed and published
on 22nd June 2014 by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) 

WINDOWS OF PERCEPTION

I begin where you take my compliance for naivety
and I wont  spend my life in your custody
You bread fear and make it your currency 

Your cursory judgments where never just 
That's why I will build you a home in a distant past
because that's where we are
and I'm glad about that

Windows of perception face the unknown
I must forget about the stairs an open the door
my home-made fears are now fully grown
so I must take a stroll into the unknown 

I know more than I can understand
intuition lends a helping hand
I know more than I can understand
I know I can make my life my own brand

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    

Hunter - original song written, performed, recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on 4th May 2015.

HUNTER

You know someone 
standing on the side
was present at the time
You're thought hunter
lurking in the night
with tension in your eyes

You don't wont to know what you wont to know and you know it

In that dense moist cloud
that descended on old town
blood left her body and
then your heart
When order skipped a beat
and they did what they did
all that was made has now been broken
and the world has turned black

You don't wont to know what you wont to know and you know it

You seek revenge and the sun
has turned in to a raging fire
Your broken figure casts a shadow
taller than catholic church spire

You don't wont to know what you wont to know and you know it

And how to be when the one you love ain't here ?
How to be?

You don't wont to know what you wont to know and you know it

Hunter

'Pop Love' - written, sang, played & produced by Tom Nied( Tomasz Niedzialkowski)- 1st November 2015

Pop Love

You know I‘m gonna find it
You can’t hide it from me
I’ve got my eyes laid on you

Hush, hush arrangements, engagements
That lead to the altar of gold
Make you nod, nod, nod
Till your conscience nods of you.

I see your lies I see you true,
You live it fast and  get lost too,
But I’m no fool I’m man with tools
I’ll hit and cut and tear and screw.

It’s obvious you don’t love me now - I’m thinking,
I gave you all without a doubt - I’m thinking,
About the times that felt so right - I’m thinking
How did I miss those vital signs

Your presence poured on my senses
Left me loving but defenseless
But now I watched you with my trust inspiring eye
I smile and nod to hide my find

It’s obvious you don’t love me now - I’m thinking,
I gave you all without a doubt - I’m thinking,
About the times that felt so right - I’m thinking
How did I miss those vital signs.

I wait for time when you and I
Will sit alone and I will tell you how
I won my game and stakes were high
And all has change from me and you and I
Cause pictures in my hand don’t lie
And what you hide is who you are
And pictures in my hands don’t lie 
And what you hide is who you are.

MAN MADE MAN
Original song written,performed, recorded and produced  by TOM NIED (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on 19th February 2016

MAN MADE MAN

It was all in a game and I played it
It was all in the risk and I took it
It was all in the distance but I walked it
It was all in  a flash but I caught it

but you keep repeating yourself
you just can't stop it
the power of habit
It's in you within you engraved in you
and you can't stop it
the power of habit

These ground level thought are often most striking
while cumulus dreams never bring lighting
Years teach us things that days fail to notice
while days tell us deeds that hours have rushed
Behavior of light is always clear and bright
but that's not the case with behavior of dark

I am a man made man made by faced fears
the tower of myself
Against this spiraling world of rage and grief
the tower of myself
And if it all should fall
I'll rise
I'll rise


Man Made Man

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

Indifference

STAND

You give me a reason & I'll give you a shot
but make sure that forgiveness runs through the plot
You know you've surprised me you know you've strike a chord
but make one false movement & you'll end up aboard

Now why don't you surprise me ?
Why don't you surprise me ?

You've given me a story where the stars where reached
You've given me a story where all gaps where breached
You've given me a story where freedoms where preached
And that story starts here and now

Now why don't you surprise me once more ?
Like you'd surprised me before ?

You've given ma a story where racism was blighted
You've given ma a story where all the lights of peace where lighted
You've given me a story where all hunger was fed
And that story starts here with you making a stand
And that story starts here with me making a stand
And that story starts here with us making a stand

Stand

Here's my humble take on John Denver classic ''Country Roads''. Song written way before my time but in the age of nationalism sweeping through the western world this piece resonates with me in more than one way...

John Denver 'Country Roads' by Tom Nied

Capricorn is a piano piece written and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on 11th August 2018.

This short piece is my inaugural attempt to venture into virgin pastures of classical music.

THE SUN SONG - words &  music written,performed,recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)on 3rd November 2018

The Sun Song

This feeling of grieving is leaving, retrieving
the tide takes it all away
This feeling of leaving is strangely relieving
one deep breath and I'm on my way
My stride hits a rhythm that leads to new beginnings
I feel like a phoenix on the journey with no end

There's no need to name it
There's no need to chain it
There's no need to lock it away
This joy feels like magnet and
with you by my side 
I feel like sun in the sky

I feel like the sun 
I feel like the one

I feel like the sun
I feel like one...

Gemini - Piano Scherzo written, recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on Saturday, 24th November 2018

Photo captures Beachy Head cliffs near Eastbourne.
Place of immense beauty where nature exercises its might.
Beachy Head also has its dark side.

''Estimates vary of the number of annual deaths at Beachy Head, from 20 per year to many more. In 2010, it was the third most common suicide spot in the world, after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the Aokigahara Woods in Japan, according to The Wall Street Journal''

NOTE TO MYSELF
Music and words written, performed, recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)on Sunday, 24th March 2019

Note To Myself

I look at you and wonder
what made you break the boundaries
where thoughts fenced with sheer fear
made you the right man in the wrong place

You're like a tree on with wind tests its thunderous might
defenseless with your will uprooted by savage rifts of life
You're broken and battered with your strength divided 
in to the barrage of weakness

You walk the walk you talk the talk
but you'll never change a thing you know
you are no longer opposing
you're fitting in and building on
you're climbing, collecting, connecting, collecting
all to gain access but
there no art on your part

Wake up !!!  Wake up !!!  Wake up !!!

Today's the greatest thing you've got
so hold it, mould it, make it count
today's the day to make a start !!!

Note To Myself

Words where written in 2001 for my best mate Slav. Now 11 years latter they came back to form a core of vibrant and eclectic tune based on bass that might remind you of Jaco Pastorious. Played and recorded in my cuddly home setting, Counterpoint represents my own and personal take on widespread word: ALTERNATIVE. 

spread & enjoy

Counterpoint ( High Flight )

Gentle but persuasive song praising resilience, patience and search of truth and above all      ...LOVE...drops of twinkling notes, mix and penetrate each other in complimenting journey.
Guitar was performed during worldwide GUITAR IDOL 2011 competition and took me to TOP 100 of best players. I hope there's more to come ... 
 

Quarters of the World

Piece was recorded in 2010. It came to life as a improvisation. At that point i decided to spend a night with it...that is the result.enjoy;)

''One Day'' - original song written, performed, recorded and published on                     8th December 2019 by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)

ONE DAY

Will you remember me
or will I breeze though your mind like a plain old daily grind
never found in the night when you dream about times 
you would like to invite to your life to live free?

I will hold on for as long as I can
I will hold with every tissue of my hand
I will watch your eyes sleep till the dawn
until new day is born
that's how you came one day

All these years I've been running blind
All this years I've been wasting time
but with you in my life 
I have found winding road
leading straight to the heart of delight 
(the light)

One Day
