Description: i wrote this song after reading a great book by Raymond Blanc.....im not sure why, as the song has nothing at all to do with cooking, and RB is always such a happy fellow...............thanks if you are having a listen

Some basic chords & jingle type melody & you turn it into a really appealing song.  And lyrics, as always, interesting & to the point.  I long for the days when boring old PC was the problem…who knew woke was coming?

Love it. A song to sit and sway back and forth to. Great job!

A brilliant creation my friend. I just enjoy. ;)

Great lyrics and another beautifully written melody and vocals

So very nice to listen to your songs Jim…lovely…

nice chord changes.  You get the lyrics right. What the hell has happened!

Absolutely brilliant!! And the mixing too!! Nailed it!

Love that subtle piano twinkling away in the background! And the 'Once...' lyrical device immediately makes it sound like a long lost classic. Nice!!

Very good song ! I do appreciate the authenticity and simplicity by the way it’s played ! Congrats 🥳

THERE’S AN OUTAGE WHAT AN OUTRAGE
CUT OUT FROM THE WORLD
UNSEEN UNTOLD UNHEARD 
IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T EXIST NO MORE
NO REASON TO LIVE FOR

THERE’S AN OUTAGE LIKE A BLIND CAGE
LOCKED OUT FROM WITHIN
LOCKED IN AND WITHOUT
NO COMMUNICATION 
YEAH CONNECTION BREAKDOWN

IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
WITH NO ONE NOTHING IN SIGHT
BUT THE FLICKERING FLAME 
OF A CANDLE LIGHT
LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS 
IN THE OLD WAYS 

THERE’S AN OUTAGE 
ZERO VOLTAGE
DUSKY BACKSTAGE
BLACK ADVANTAGE 
THERE'S AN OUTRAGE

IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS
IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS

OUTAGE

do you remember, when you were young
everything you did, was just for fun
life was easy, oh so good
never made the effort, when you should

now your dreams, have disappeared
it all turned out, just like i feared
now your schemes , are up in smoke
i hope your words, make you choke

i remember, the lies and deceit
you were a liar and you were a cheat
you never cared, for any one else
everything you did, was just for yourself

now your dreams, have disappeared
it all turned out, just like i feared
now your schemes, are up in smoke
i hope your words, make you choke

Lies and deceit.

Noodling around with a little repeat phrase on a felt piano, it decided it wanted to be this.

Oceanic Musique – Talk of the Fishes
March 2023
Duration: 2:30
Listen to the Oceanic Musique Playlist https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/oceanic-musique
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the fish, marine mammals and crustaceans sound library used to compose this piece.

There’s a whole lot of talking going on beneath the waves.  A new study suggests that sound communication in fish goes back at least 155 million years. Although fish have developed hearing similar to other vertebrates, the way they make sounds to communicate to other fish is distinctive. Many fish use swim bladder vibrations to make noise or may vibrate other muscles or parts of the body, while others can snap their tendons, move their jaws, or otherwise rub skeletal parts to produce sounds.  What are the fish talking about? Fish are either trying to attract a mate, defend a food source or territory, or let others know where they are. Even some of the common names for fish are based on the sounds they make, such as grunts, croakers, hog fish, squeaking catfish and trumpeters. 

For clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, marimba, fish, marine mammals and crustaceans recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.
