Absolutely delightful, wonderful music, words and voice!!! <3

I guess I missed this least year! Wonderful Holliday cheer guys! Merry Christmas to you both

Lovely Christmas song, I wish all Christmas’s were like this.

Has such a nostalgic feel and sound. Most enjoyed hearing again, Tony. You penned a great tune here, Friend. Evokes such a genuine Holiday mood.

A sad line in an otherwise picturesque song.  Why isn't Daddy there?  A beautiful and reflective song of more innocent times.

Painting a beautiful picture with this song--wonderful you guys !!

Lyrics:
This crawl space is a little tight,
As everything surrounds me at night.
It isn't right the way I'm packed away, not on ice.
I try to be real quiet,
but I guess I woke the giant,
I couldn't help it.
And now the sky is angry with me.
I don't see,
it's far too dark for sight.
Crawling isn't for me,
I'd much rather fly away.
I try to be on time.
I lost track of myself somewhere,
I could not help it.
And everyone seems to be gone.
Just in case you didn't hear, me.
I'll try to be ever more clear.
Can't see my face but I'm down here.
Heavily insulated crawl space,
what will I do?
Some day I will find my way.

Here’s one that was recorded way back, pretty rough production but I still quite like it.
Lyrics 
I see you standing in the corner of the room
Guess you think it's kinda cool
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Checked you out and you're looking good
All dressed up like I new you would
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Grooving to the music and you're looking great
Don't waste time 'cos it's getting late
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

You're dancing fast and you're dancing slow
Come on Hon lets give it a go
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

I see your friends are pointing my way
Come on over Hon and say
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Instrumental, Verse One, Verse Two, Chorus, Outro

Come on and dance with me

This one was inspired by the soundtrack to a TV series MArk was watching at the time - Annika. The lyrics are nothing to do with the show though.

These minutes
Feel like months of mire
What's to be undone
I can't untie
More than I tied up
And yet I fail
To see a setting sun

No-one is here but us
No-one to break us up
No-one to feed their lies
Or steal away what's ours
No-one is here but us

It must be burning
As embers burn
It must be burning
As embers burn
It must be burning
As embers burn
It must be burning
It must be burning

It Must Be Burning

Christmas In The Country (Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Riff Beach) Original ReMixed 2019

All Country fans like Hank William's music…hope you enjoy this track.				
Original Country Lyrics by Tony Harris 2016				
Vocal and Music Production/Mix by Riff Beach (Hess)				
				
  NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
HANK WAS A BIT COCKY				
UNEASY AT THE SAME TIME				
SOMETIMES A BIT SHAKY				
BUT IT WAS HIS YEAR TO SHINE				
				
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ON THE OPRY				
GAVE HIM DRAWING POWER				
HIS SONGS WERE PURE POETRY				
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
				
CHORUS				
THE YEAR WAS FIFTY ONE				
HIS BIGGEST YEAR				
BIG CROWDS STOOD IN LINE				
NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
YEA, NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
POP STARS WERE COVERING HIS HITS				
HE PLAYED SOME TV SHOWS				
HE SIGNED A MOVIE CONTRACT				
BROKE IT BY BEING A NO SHOW				
				
THE MILES HE TRAVELED 				
INCREASED HIS BACK PAIN				
BUT HE MADE THE BIG TIME				
CAUSE COUNTRY MUSIC WAS IN HIS VEINS				
				
(REPEAT CHORUS)				
				
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE SO YOUNG				
IN THE BACK OF THAT OLD CADLLAIC

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

Tennessee River Music - ReMix - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.

F E B R U A R Y (vocals by Codi from NoiseAlter)
