Song written because of an observation I made of so many grandparents raising young children. Originally written for a friend to sing in the vein of John Mellencamp. He had done an excellent version of one of Mellencamp's songs.
I'll link to it as soon as I find it.
Sadley, my singer friend got sick and passed away. 
So, I was forced to do the vocal.

FEBRUARY  from WINTER-A SYMPHONIC POEM

Flowing melodic piece performed/recorded like a rock band, harder than soft rock but hopefully ok even for sensitive ears... ;)

'Anniversary Song' For Janne

Performed by David Cooper

Written by 

David Cooper - Music

Ron Todd -Lyrics:

Oh Genevieve you're the world to me,
Like a walk by the river Seine,
The intoxication from your sweet perfume,
Is like strolling in the summer rain,

When I see your face, that killer smile,,
The stolen moments that we share,
I imagine the sublime taste of you,
Like coffee from a cafetiere

Chorus

Oh Genevieve
Sweet Genevieve
A Parisian beauty queen
Oh Genevieve
Sweet Genevieve
Every artists' living dream

You're a statue made by Michelangelo
With the style for the streets of Milan
Everything is such a perfect fit
The clothes, the shades, the tan

The way you talk with that French refrain,
Gives me goose bumps on my skin
You're a centrefold from a magazine
An idyllic picture scene

Chorus

music break

Chorus

Always be my Genevieve
Sois toujours ma Geneviève
Sois toujours ma Geneviève
Always be my Genevieve

Genevieve (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

Blossoms

Looking from the shadows, a blink and then it's gone
A life passing by, is there hope in the wind?
Open your hand, catch it if you can...

Evocadora canción para todos los públicos, algo más rápida y elaborada que la versión de las Piano Sessions.

Evocative song for everyone, a little faster and more elaborated than the Piano Sessions' version: https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/el-rio-piano-version

Lyrics/Letra:

Nunca pude destapar un río
para ver lo que tenía dentro
de su cuerpo húmedo....

Nunca pude preguntar al río
lo que llevaba con tanta prisa,
hacia abajo, en silencio...

... y el río pasaba sin mirarme siquiera...
... siempre ocupado en su deslizarse...
... siempre sin mirar atrás a escucharme,
sin parar a contestarme,
sin parar a decirme qué llevaba dentro...

Nunca quiso responderme el río,
nunca quiso ser mi amigo
y seguía su camino...

... y el río contestaba con preguntas evasivas,
“¿A dónde vas?”, yo le decía,
“Sin parar, con tanta prisa.”
“¿A dónde vas?, ¿a dónde vas...?”

El Río (A dónde vas)

By day I work in the world of biological sciences. By night though, I like to create. I'm a drummer/percussionist with a lot of years of gigs under my belt, but I also like to write songs, music and stories and poetry. I am master of none but I get a lot of satisfaction experimenting and making words and music.

A blast from the past: I laid the drums and percussion on this Prog-Rock album by Stealing the Fire. https://stealingthefire.bandcamp.com/album/king-of-shadows

'my' band Pelerin blue has released a back catalogue as a omnibus album (To Fly Again) and can be found on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube and many other places  https://open.spotify.com/artist/5j8TUM8qcCTHEiMyMVEPSe?si=eyH_FfubQq2xJYm__NTaKg

For my own creations I'm not tied to any particular genre, nor in my listening and nor am I particularly good at recognising particular genres.

I'm open to feedback, comment, critique and generally saying hi.
