Most of us lead lives of quiet desperation.

You certainly write some excellent songs Eric and this is no exception

Great lyrics.  Great mix.  Vocal feel is superb.  Strings adds nice touch.

this is such a beautiful song🙂your voice is so unique👏👏👏❤️🙂

Ah Wha?

An acoustic / orchestral version of this song from our 3rd album. Featuring John's daughter, Ada on the trumpet!

LYRICS:

They stayed at home
And you went to Rome
Ate on your own
Embraced the unknown

You counted leaves
While they stared at trees
Down on your knees
Escape their disease

It’s too far, it’s too high, it’s too hard to climb

Rome - acoustic version

WIP: I have some small changes to do. That some instruments/drums haven't been panned correctly

Would you catch me if I fall.
It's a long way to down.
I want to surrender
but I don't know how.

I'm running through waste lands
to the deepest end
I'm fighting emotions.
That is my defence.

I was once touched by shadows.
That tore me inside
and then you came to me
like a shining light

Do not get any closer
I'm letting you go 
I keep on running.
away from your love.

Falchon's elegy

Day is done and I’m coming home, – think happy thoughts to lessen my load, clench my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road, take a side street because I need some time, to create a smile that isn’t mine, I’m pulling up an hey I’m doing fine, aside from losing my shine. Did you notice that tear in my eye, was hoping that you’d ask me why,  so much to tell you about my day, well maybe it’s just better this way
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
I have seen the worst of everyone – and it’s made me positively numb – March to the beat of someone else’s drum – was always trying to be just someone – take a side street cause I need some time – to create a smile that isn’t mine – I’m pulling up and I’m doing fine Except I’ve lost that shine
Did you notice that this wasn’t me? do you think about who we used to be?  Do you have a heart or has it gone to hell? trust me woman this man can tell – I’ve hid away for far too long – Let me break it out here in this song – I was not the only one who was wrong, will I ever find a place where I belong 
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me  
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
Day is done and I’m coming home – think happy thoughts to lessen my load – clench ,my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road

Lyrics:

NOSTALGIA
Hurry up!
I am on the way
The disco opens this night
...until the new day.

The music beats,
I hear it in the streets
I feel the air so heat,
the ideal place to meet.

Please, don't delay,
been waiting all this time
Will never be the same
between me and you.

We met the first time
a long time before,
during the 80s,
we were so young and pure.

So this night we can turn back the time,
we can get to the prime,
we are going to be together.

All this time I didn't have your news,
now I've nothing left to lose,
I wanna try with you.

Baby, please, remember what we were,
some things have been unfair,
but now the night is cool.

Going to dance we can turn back the years,
with no worries and fears,
we are going to be together, this time.

Hurry up!
I am on the way
The disco opens this night
...until the new day.

Please, don't delay
Been waiting all this time
Will never be the same
between me and you.

NOSTALGIA

Another track I published by Rocky Bee Inc. which I dissolved years ago.  Can upload this track because I play all the instruments.  Getting a feel for my new label.  

I am going to do a super distorted master for my other site.  Might interest you if you get into that sort of a thing.

If I remember correctly, a radio was keen on playing but said they though Talking sounded like Fucking. Real nice lady but she asked me about that many many times!

Overload

After "Broceliande  forest" this is the second time that I mention this beautiful region of France that is Brittany, imagine going on vacation to the west coast, we would stop near the lighthouse, next to my friend's house Henri @,https://soundcloud.com/henrielie-hl we would drink coffee and talk about music and poetry until.......

LE VENT D'OUEST.  🎧

We're happy to announce that we have a new song ready to show the world. This one is more in the melodic techno style, spooky yet uplifting.

We were joined on this version by the talented synth player Bruce Parsons. Here is his soundcloud page: @blankreg
Bruce added around 7 additional parts to the beginning part of the song. We think it turned out lovely, very nice job, Bruce! Thanks for joining us!

"Sonder - (neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone has a life as complex as one's own."

Title named by Katya Solo: (https://soundcloud.com/katyasolo)

Feel free to remix this one (non-commercially) if you like.

Thanks for listening!

Always with the trap. In, on and around the trap. Yeah.

In synch with the drummer and his hi-hat. Playing "on the hat."
