Barbara, you don't have to worry about doing the song justice,  you have such a great country voice that I think you sing any classic country song and do it well. I really like this track and your vocal is excellent!

Great country sound! Your vocal is so lovely and I loved the slide guitar, all supported by a classic country beat!

That's what Country should sound like. Great work!

Now that's country!  Beautiful, heartfelt voice.

I'm back for another listen 😊 You really do have a wonderful voice 👏👏

I Surrender (Music Video Link Available Now!)

A Miller has no dreams.
He can not hope to see every horse in every stream.
There's no need to spur.
A horse that's travelling, already up to speed.

Look to the stars.
Stare up all you like, but you'll never get that far.
Look to the sky.
You'll never understand. you're never gonna fly.

The kids dont think in dreams.
Taken, locked away, a never-ending scream.
A future made obscene.
Squandered on a stupid capitalist scheme.

The kids don't think at all.
Waiting for the day they're lined against a wall.
A conflict of the mind.
The world of black and white, pointed, erudite.

Look to the stars.
Shine on alkaline, you're just fine as you are.
Look to the sky.
You're never gonna know why the world is passing by.

While the miller told his tale.
The sword of damocles, descending, deft, unfurled.
The trampling of the damned.
Can you hear them fall? a back against a wall.

Look to the stars.
Climb up any height, the distance is too far.
Look to the sky.
Forget it ammonite. It's where they placed the bar.

Chase Thee Not! The Moon

a calm track ´bout drifting away; classical instruments as strings and woodwinds combined with modern drums and sound textures. Some odd meters and an orchestrated crescendo increase the dynamic tension of this track.

driftingaway

Hide and seek.

The rain is painting on my window,
my paper plane is soaring out.
Under the door, mommy's shadow,
"Dinner's ready, you can come out."

I go downstairs and see no light,
Holding a candle, mommy's smile
Behind the mask, a subtle sigh,
Let's play a game, just you and I…

"Tonight, we play hide and seek,
Nobody cares, secrets we'll keep,
Between a mother and her child."

My little plane within my fingers,
Seems so fragile, meaningless,
A paper dream that softly lingers,
In a world where hopes digress.

I want to go back to my room,
Outside the bombs are touching ground,
Mommy's watching out the gloom,
Whispering to me, don't make a sound.

"Tonight, we play hide and seek,
Nobody cares, secrets we'll keep,
Between a mother and her child."

Heavy boots stained in red,
The wooden floor is cracking down,
Stomping dreams over my head,
The night has come, i hear the hounds.

Mommy's whispers, soothing stream,
echoes of silk resting my doubts
A grating noise just broke the peace.
Silence has never felt so loud.

"Tonight, we play hide and seek,
Nobody cares, secrets we'll keep,
Between a mother and her child."

What if W. A. Mozart were to join a futuristic disco and this neoclassical metal song with disco groove were playing?

Silver Surfer

Everybody's asking.
What you gonna do with your days?
With seven hundred little records, and none of them are ever played.
The girl must have it.
The girl must have it.
And if she don't get it, she'll go out and grab it.
A monkey or a rabbit?
Just too stoned to rock.

You're on a black tie, slow ride, rip tide, hard drive, breath.
It's just a hang tight, back slide, corner of time, death.
keep clean, daydream, bad scene, stay seen, bed.
You seem pretty keen.
Though you look pretty green.
Yeah.

Everybody's saying. 
You are wasting your life.
But you don't remember signing up for all this trouble and strife.
The girl must have it.
The girl must have it.
And if she don't get it, she'll go out and grab it.
A monkey not a rabbit?
Just too stoned to fuck.

Nobody's talking, an invisible line.
But how's it gonna help if you just lay in bed and whine?
The girl must have it.
The girl must have it.
And when she wants it, she'll go out and get it.
How far you wanna take it?
Just too stoned to rock.

Oh, it's all a deep red, death bed, he said, she said test.
Another ripped off, bad cough, hot shot, top mop, rest.
Dark green, time team, low means, whipped cream, yeah.
You seem pretty keen.
Though you look pretty green. 
Yeah.

You're on a black tie, slow ride, rip tide, hard drive, breath.
It's just a hang tight, back slide, corner of time, death.
keep clean, daydream, bad scene, stay seen, bed.
You seem pretty keen.
Though you look pretty green.
Yeah.

I retired my country band Native Tongue some time ago, I now play summers at a Jamboree, volunteer music, have jam sessions, and visit Mountain Grove on occasion. I decided to record some of my favorite classic country songs.  My maiden name is Barbara Gustin for family reasons, so,no, I am not 2 people . My music is listed under Barbara Jenkins on Spotify and Itunes My recording  studio keeps me inspired. Enjoy
