Great poignant message, always great production and songwriting from you!

love the intro build, nice feel. sweet composition.

Intimate atmosphere for a great piece! once again congratulations!

Very clear you knew where to put your emotions re vocals.  Great song.  You should write your lyrics into your tunes.

Oh, stop staring at he sun
It's blinding everyone
Turn towards the shade
And you might see what's going on
Adjust your focal lens
Engage your common sense
When you find reality
Be sure to share it with your friends

It's us not them

You're not the one to blame
They've played a blinding game
But now they've overplayed their hand
There's desperation in their pace
Let them know you know
Find your stolen voice
Don't ever let them think they
Have the power to take away your choice

It's us not them

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't ever forget this my friend

Us Not Them

Ive been working on this song for some time now. I was hoping to have it come out before thanksgiving. Its a little bit about the future and a little bit about the past.

Lyrics:


Someone told me long ago about a land so far away
 For fortune and for freedom we left out homes for better days.
No one thought that life would come to this though we counted out the cost
Now the simplest necessity is the thing that I miss most

What was lost, what was lost, I often think about the world we lost. What was lost what was lost, I often think about the world we lost

Bitter nights and winter days weigh heavy on my mind
Last time the ice had melted there weren’t many of us alive
Though a simple life and privation has always been my way
When the days grow short and the weeds are tall you got to get on your knees and pray.

Dornland

it could happen

A song about interruptions.

Lyrics:
In the time of Walter Cronkite
And Huntley and Brinkley
Reporting all the news
Straight forward and succinctly
Programs people watched
Would dissolve with proclamation
With words that froze the viewing nation

"We interrupt this program"

Back then things were black and white
Except for a couple wars
One was cold the other hot
Whatever that war was for
Could be 'bout weather or sport
Or something thing Kruschev said
And Kenneydy's retort

This is a "special report"

Cuba had the Bay of Pigs
That stained the CIA
Bullets flew in Dallas
No one forgot that day
Martin down in Memphis
Robert down in L.A.

"We interrupt this program"
Brought fear of what they'd say

Now we have the world wide web
And all that that implies

The news comes from the people
And seen through world wide eyes

We interrupt this program
Can still grab our attention
With so much going on these days

It's hardly worth the mention

This is a special report

Stand by for breaking news

We interrupt this program

Have we got news for you!

And that's the way it was.

We Interrupt This Program

It was an honor and a pleasure to sing to the sound of a delightful composition by two wonderful artists such as Debra Buesking(@debra_buesking) on piano and David Dunham(@david-dunhamuser589535203) on guitar. Thanks for this priceless opportunity.
Below the Italian / English lyric

Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico 
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo 
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi 
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato 
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
 per non lasciarti più
………………..
Dimmi dove sei 


Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
  not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Tell me where you are

"Easy to Please" Debra Buesking and David Dunham (vocal version)

Old water mill on Vltava (from the "Prague" cycle).

I guess I have heard enough about white or black or purple "supremacy " and learned enough from history that there isn't any "race" that has proven to be superior or actually much different from any other. All seem to have the same good qualities and bad qualities and make the same good judgements and bad ones.To me the issue is can we collectively learn from the past and go forward to a better place. I am an optimist (believe it or not) so let's see how we do.

This was sparked after listening to "American made" by the oak ridge boys(one of my favorite vocal groups)



take care and be safe

My baby is American made
her momma is Korean and her Daddy is from Spain

America is strong because our people came
from every country on earth to stake their claim
Except for the Iroquois Apache or Sioux
there is no such thing as an "American race"

We weren't built by white men alone
yellow black brown and red sang the same song
along the way we all got a little black and blue
but we somehow managed to pull the girl through

we each have our heritage
it's different from the rest
but that difference is our strength
no one is the best

so remember where we came from and how we got here
don't be blinded by the light of those preaching fear
instead listen to the words in every sacred scroll
ever written on this planet from the days of old
tolerance,respect and love should guide your soul

America(can be ) beautiful

La face cachée du rêve/ Remix 2 FURICO Music team

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
