Lyrics


I don’t get much sleep anymore
Not now my world is at war
You. me and so many others
Been worried about our sisters and brothers

The children who have never known peace
Who are hungry, they need some relief
The mothers who cry all night
Wonder if they’ll ever end this endless fight

Chorus
Raise our voices and pray from our hearts
That our beautiful world won’t be torn apart
Angel of mercy
Oh angel of peace 
Won’t you visit each one of us as we sleep
Dream peaceful dreams…..

Watching the news makes me cry
I can’t bear to see more innocents die
The whole world is just falling to pieces
Will humankind become the next extinct species?

Chorus
Raise our voices and pray from our hearts
That our beautiful world won’t be torn apart
Angel of mercy
Oh angel of peace 
Won’t you visit each one of us as we sleep
Dream peaceful dreams…..

Bridge
There cannot be a doubt
The 11th hour- its here and now
Time is running out
The 11th hour…
Chorus

Dream Peaceful dreams…

Madana mohana murari
Madana mohana murari
Madana mohana murari



Peaceful Dreams

InMotion

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Further info:
The first collaboration is on the Original Spruce site called ‘Old Brock’ (music and performance Mark Spruce: lyrics James Whiteman).

Sky Light Grey (Collaboration James Whiteman & Original Spruce)

It seems to me that many people these days make more effort to separate themselves from others than to compare themselves with others. Both are triggers for unhappiness, in my opinion, but it's something more than that.

This song has very few bass parts. Most parts use an 8-string guitar. This is the result of avoiding the competition between the bass and the area of existence. I did slaps, thumbs, tapping, and all sorts of other things. It took me a long time to finish the song because there were so many parts I had to practice and I had tendonitis....hahahaha

Lyrics:  Obfuscated
Obfuscated, obfuscated
You make things unclear, You make things obscure,
Obfuscated, You confuse me
Obfuscated,  i’m perplexed how You make things complex, 
when you hide the truth when you bend the truth

obfuscated
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Obfuscated,
What you hide from the light is concealing
Deliberate misleading is deceiving
beguile Deceit, mislead, cheat, make  believe

Obfuscated,
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Put in the shadows out of the light
In the fog, there’s no clear sight
In dirty water, it’s dark, you don’t see me
The answer is foggy, the message is misty

Obfuscated     
web of lies, in disguise - web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies
Obfuscated     
duplicity
double identity,  who do I trust
one or  none

Let’s face it, you know it
With a good sauce, you will eat it
Let’s face it, you know it
With the right words, you’ll believe it
Let’s face it, you know it
With a nice story you’ll  Buy it
If you want to believe it 
you won’t fight it

Obfuscated (collab Paploviante: music)

As gentle as the rolling hills, the bramble and the deer, the night it holds hushed secrets meant only for your ears.  As fleeting as a Truffula tree on paper framed by silk embroidered oak and gold melting in the rain.

Pig footed pigeon toed people in the form of Tonka Toy flesh are tearing up there yoga mats..I don't know why.. Bubble gum and hairspray may be the solution.  I say you're as pretty as you look in the fine line between home runs and fouls.

You can download my songs from band camp for as little as $0.
Hello everyone. I'm glad you're interested in my music. I'm a guitarist. I used to be in a band, but that ended in failure, and now I write songs and play guitar for my own pleasure. The songs are born in my little room. After years of not playing guitar since I stopped playing in a band, I am now able to play here again and feel the joy of playing guitar and touching music again. That's why it's so wonderful for me to interact with the inhabitants of this Soundcloud. By the way, I'm very talkative, so I'm always looking for pen pals. I'm not particular about the theme, so I'd be happy if everyone could feel free to send me a direct message. I really enjoy hearing other people's ideas and interacting with people from different countries.
