saw you stumble along on an empty field
jumping over all the black holes of pandemic fears
filled with the collateral damage
no empty gaps
it’s not easy to find a direction
when the world turns mad
when the whole world turns mad

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

the moment you see the horizon it starts to slip away
get your head up into the stars to light your way
saw you stumble along on an empty field
chased by pandemic rabbits
but you were better in hitting the hook
so it seems

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

Sunchild

John dee
John Dee said he cannot see
 through the fog of history
 one Kingdom rises and one will fall 
one will conquer and rule
oh  too cloudy the crystal ball
 my vision to restricted and small                       
 one will command the wind and sea 
and one will wear the laurels of victory

you're not happy
you never were  free
where ever you are going 
that's where you ought to be 
where ever you stop 
you don't belong 
your weak and can never  be strong 
and never cross the Rubicon

There is an angel at mon's
The sea is as flat as a millpond
let the boy earn his spurs
just empty hollow words
and the lion and the unicorn
have just crossed the Rubicon 

 Caesar has gone with me
and crossed the Rubicon

John Dee

Meet today
What of many yesterdays
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender
We start
As flaming hearts
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender
Meet today
What of many yesterdays
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender
We start
As flaming hearts
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender
Cosmic surrender

There are so many things that should not be: 70s Disco Strings and 80s video game chirps? It was time for them to meet 

Return of the Disco Strings

Gray

Simple but mysterious,  A mood piece with a good deal of reverb guitar. A rainy day song.  Maybe he becomes that guy, Who knows. 

Lyrics;
Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil start of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

The sky has softly fallen
Mist covers the town
A clouded muted world
With barely any sound

I open up the curtains
Sallow light filters in
I stare into the emptiness
And wonder if it ends

The cover slowly thinning
The sky is shading blue
Yet the world I find inside my world
So empty without you

The morning haze is breaking
Still foggy is my mind
The coffee black the cup is white
Though gray is all I find

Heavy sigh through heavy air
Time's the only cure
Time can last forever
How long it takes no one is sure

Drawn in black and white
A charcoal pencil end of day
And where the two should meet
A blended shade of gray

Life is busy. I make software that Apple designers use make their chips. This track is made on iPhone with Korg Gadget app and uploaded directly to GadgetCloud. Same way as 8 years ago, when I joined SoundCloud. Cover photo of Gadget project on iPhone made with the same iPhone. Cheers!  

Endless Light will become part of my future Impressions album along with (tracks that also made on the Korg Gdaget on iPhone/iPad):

Endless Light

I usually share quite personal songs with you . In a certain manner that s the case for that one too . But the one's who s talking to you here is an 8 years old Franky boy. Every time someone asked him"what will you do with your life in the future ?" , he just answered : I'll be a magician , of course !
The old guy just lends his voice and plays a few stuffs here and there. 
Of course this is not a "serious" song , but many artists currently post their summer songs , and i've never composed a summer song . So here's my first try !

Magician

Even as a little child, people ask you 
what you want to be when you grow up
but really when you think about it, it's a strange thing 
to ask a child that 
I want to answer the question 
but give me time... 
and one and two and three and ... 

I would like to be a magician 
to make doves appear in my hands 
I would like to be a magician 
to make the tears disappear from my mates' eyes

now that I am grown up 
they still ask me
what I do with my life 
my projects my desires
so I say to myself, here we go 
here it comes again
it's true I don't like it 
but if you want to know 
I've always had this dream since I was a kid 
so give me a chance 

I would like to be a magician 
to make scarves and rabbits appear from a hat
I would like to be a magician 
to make doubts and sorrows disappear from your heart 

I would like to be a magician 
to write in golden letters in the sky 
a hope for tomorrow

Thanks to "strategic partnerships“
And with a lot of financial support
High fences
NATO barbed wire
And trenches
Detention centres
Uniforms and armament
Identification and
Exploitability checks
Exclusion, exclaves

And sun and sand and waves
And sun and sand, waves

Control of crowds and masses

No more loopholes

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
