Enjoyed the lyrics on this, excellent post

cool country/ man/it's rich/loveN it/ a hit

nice theme,I see you listened in to my song"what is rich" think we see eye to eye. I have played guitar and write songs about a year now and record everything on my cell phone in my bedroom so you guys are way more sophisticated for sure. I want to write 60s folk songs about social personal issues I see;poitics,overkill by internet, lack of personal contact,

Love the lyrics and arrangement. Great voice 👍👏

Most enjoyable listen. Solid songwriting and pristine production.

I NEED A DRINK OF YOUR LOVE

In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

Charles Bonnet

Here's another instrumental.
The titel has nothing to to with the music. It's just because I'm so fed up hearing so many lies from every corner of this world.
What's left is to make music...

btw: I discovered a choir vst, you can hear it towards the end :-)

A Different Kind of Truth

Acoustic Cascades

A song I posted a three weeks ago …that Johnny AKA ~  ( No Killie Fish) ~ https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2 took me up on my request...
for someone to put a backing track down for me. I have been so often amazed at Johnny’s talent, I of course took him up on this!!

Never Sailed Goodbye song written by ~ Doug Roossien  Apr 19, 2022
https://soundcloud.com/doug-roossien/never-sailed-goodbye-a-challenge-to-musicians 
Johnny took my raw acoustic song  and put a some wonderful instrumentation down for me to put a another vocal take on it, then he mixed it and mastered it … Was really very happy with the results. ( Thank you Johnny)

https://www.reverbnation.com/artist/video/17109227 new video of the song!!

This was a first effort of a long ago song ... (originated from a little poem I wrote well over 40 years ago)"
"Dockman's got a cold hand,...first ship off at dawn,
Liberty Sails ..to the horizon ...now she's gone"

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodnight

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

I’ve only been there once…just a little port in Maine
A sleepy little harbor town…that I’d love to see again
Dockman’s got a cold hand…first ship off at dawn
Liberty sails…to the horizon…now she’s gone

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never, never sailed goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never …sailed goodbye

One by One 

Words that hit like on anvils
some others as light as feathers 
those that get lost in the haze
words that take me to the moon 

i follow the moves of your mouth
your full lips , colour of plum 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you
i drink in  your words 
one by one 

words that we say , in front of our judges
Yes your honor 
i swear it ! 
dreamed words from a pure being
nasties ones, i really don't care

I follow the moves of your mouth 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you

i follow the moves of your mouth
your full lips , colour of plum 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you
i drink in  your words 
one by one

Rich Man Lyrics

This one is called Rich Man. In our last song, the poor man was trying to get by with limited funds. In this one, our hero is just enjoying life with whatever he can. He's happy just living life.

Lyrics;
I walk in old shoes
Drive on old wheels
Don't have much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that's getting me by
Got two feet on the ground
And my Head in the sky

I travel lightly
Not much to my name
But I've got all I need
Just the same
I'm a rich man

Wherever I'm at
Is where I want to be
And I'm living my life
Like this world's made for me
I'm a rich man

I have my friends
And my family
They're all the best people
And they're rich just like me


I've traveled the highways
In sunshine and rain
Slept in a boxcar
Of many a train
I've loved and lost
And I still feel the pain
But life is for living
And I can't complain

I don't need a thing
To prove my success
Nobody out there
I need to impress
But I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that gets me by
Two feet on the ground
My head in the sky

I might walk in old shoes
and drive on old wheels
Not much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I'm a rich man
a rich man
a rich man ...

NIGHT IN THE CITY 3

Paper Mugs, Cold Coffee

Project 178

Recalling some tequila, love words and more with them in that Ibiza bar, I wondered: “What if Pink Floyd met the spirit of Camarón de la Isla… in my bedroom?” I used lots of guitars, basses, etc. on a 12/8 beat, to enclose 3/4, 6/4 & 8/8 rhythms along.

Letra / Translated Lyrics: EL POZO DE TU AMOR  /  THE WELL OF YOUR LOVE

Fui a abrir el grifo, estaba sediento,  /  I turned on the tap, I was thirsty,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Fui a abrir el grifo, necesitaba hacerlo,  /  I turned on the tap, I needed to do it,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el grifo de tu amor.  /  I needed the trap of your love.

Fui a bajar al pozo, me estaba muriendo,  /  I was going into the well, I was dying,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Fui a bajar al pozo, y me caí dentro,  /  I was going into the well, and fell inside,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

Por bajar al pozo, yo me caí dentro  /  Because of going into the well, I fell inside
y no quiero que nadie llore por mis lamentos  /  and I don’t want anybody to cry for my laments

Caí… por ti.  /  I fell … for you.
Caí… caí… caí por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell for you.
Caí… a tu pozo, caí por ti.  /  I fell … into your well, fell for you.
Caí… caí… caí… caí a tu pozo por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell … fell into your well for you.
Caí.  /  I fell.

Me he caído al pozo, y ahora que estoy dentro  /  I have fallen into the well, and now I’m inside
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Vine a beber al pozo, pero el pozo está seco,  /  I came to drink at the well, but the well is dry,
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

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.
