My latest track is an abstract artform of the biblical story David and Goliath. It starts with Guitar being my representation of David. And Bass For Goliath. After that the fight scene as bridge and the overwhelming happyness for the outro. I really enjoy the Moral of the story of facing your fears head on.

Sometimes things just won't work out.  You can't fix broken.  Hearts get hurt. People change, Some for the better and others just get worse....  
But someone has to declare the madness over...  Even then, you are faced with everyone's formulated opinions.  All which is based without them ever actually knowing a thing about what really happened.  But you can tell what they are thinking just by the way, they look at you.

Lyrics.....
Ya Know there ain’t no reason to fault me
When you don’t even know me.
And there ain’t no reason to talk about me
we’ve never exchanged a word.
See there ain’t no use in me complainin’
you never hear me.
(I’m) … Just a lonely soul,
seeking redemption.
	
[**] Chorus
(Still) I’m wondering what she’s doin’ tonight,
is she still pacing in circles across the floor?
Is she talkin’ in tongues, 
acting like the whole world owes her something more?

[*] Refrain
(That’s where) I drew the line.
Where I drew the line.

Maybe somewhere out there, someone can see me
Maybe somebody out there feels me.
Maybe somebody, can show me that love’s worth fightin’ for.
I wouldn’t know it,
when she walked out that door.
[**]
[*]

Everything she does/did has a motive.
Every word was followed with distain.
Every dance was followed up with sorrow
While my heart filled with pain

[*] And I drew a line
There’s a part of me that believes,
she still thinks she’s entitled.
no mattered right or wrong,
But the only dances that could dance to
yea, was her very own song.
[*]
[**] So I’m..
[*] So I drew a line

See there ain’t no reason to fault me
…. when you don’t know me.

Lyrics:...
Ahha, Ahha…
Ya know…
I can tell you that my life ain’t been no Fairy Tale.
I can tell you about things you’re never wanna see.
The way life can pick you up. turn you out.
Put you in a place you don’t wanna be.
That’s the difference between you and me.
That’s just me.
That’s just me.

Don’t know where this road’s gonna lead.
(Hell)  I ain’t sure if it includes me.
But I keep puttin’ one foot in front of the other,
sooner or later we all discover,
ain’t nothin’ in this life that’s free.
And, that includes me.
That includes me.

[Refrain]
Every night I write a story,
I’m the Hero I’m bound for glory.
My life will never be what someone else wants it to be.
Every night I write that story,
I’m the Hero I’m bound for glory.
My life will never be what someone else wants it to be.

[Chorus]
Ohh Ohh I don’t know maybe I’m a Cynic,
maybe I’m lazy and may be my heart ain’t in it.
Can’t seem to tell when the well goes dry.
I’ve been upside down and inside out.
Heart broken and left with doubt
Ain’t no body gonna stop me from being me.
That’s just me.
That’s just me.

{Lead Guitar Instr}

I like to walk round at home in my underwear,
Go a few days with facial hair.
And, talk to myself till I get what I need.
Sometimes I stay in bed till the sun goes down,
drink a beer and head into town.
Just to see if anyone notices me.  
That’s just me.
That’s just me.

[Chorus] + [Refrain] + [Chorus]  [End -  That’s just me…  That’s just me..]

Lyrics...

The winds of change often blow in quickly.
Grab your handle and hold on tight.
There’s a certain way to handle good feelings.
There’s a million ways,
to wrong what you thought was right.

I often gaze at you in amazement.
The way you cast yourself, in such delight.
The way you see things as they really are,
the way you calm a storm, and let in light.

I remember sayin’

[Refrain]
Don’t be a fool ..
A fool that gives way.
Don’t be a fool to settle for less than you want.
When you whisper those three words,
I already know what they mean.
It’s a perfect world when you do things right.

[Chorus]
Time after time, 
the choices we make,
sometimes they, beat you down in life.
The only one thing (that) know for sure.
You’re the best thing I’ve ever known.
It’s a perfect world with you in my life.

[Musical Interlude]

Season can change, without concessions.
Ain’t no reason, to confess what’s already know.
There’s a bond between best friend and lovers,
That makes that perfect world,  their own…
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
So,…

It’s a perfect world, with you in my life
Such a perfect world, with you in my life.
It’s a perfect world, when you do things right.

It's A Perfect World

Lyrics : Star Fields © Nathan Jon Tillett  2012

Star fields, deep fields,
We crossed the bridge of space and time,
Solar winds scatter our forgotten dreams now dust,
Realities entwine.

Star fields, deep fields,
We left the fabric frayed and torn,
Soaked in the blood of dying stars still screaming light,
A universe reborn.

This song was written as a tribute to Robert Johnson...a Mississippi Blues legend. That's my guitar player Nicky V and Liam Ward on harmonica...awesome musicians

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
