Track # 13 from my first LP called " Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding". The theme of saying goodbye is something we all experiencing as humans throughout our life as the years pass. Saying goodbye to love family members as they pass away, moving away and saying goodbye to friends and what i was thinking about at the time was saying goodbye to my my work life and friends after I retired my from long term career working in mental health as an Occupational Therapist.

Lyrics:
Saying goodbye, it's always bittersweet
Walking away from the ones we used to meet
Promises made, now drifting in the wind
Memories fading, like chapters coming to an end

In the circle of life, we come, and we go
Some stay for a while, others we'll never know
But the moments we shared; they'll never fade away
In the tapestry of time, they'll forever stay

So goodbye friends, we walked this road together
But now it's time to part ways, we'll cherish this forever
Our laughter echoes in the night
As we say our last goodbyes

Through the highs and lows, we stood side by side
Now it's time to spread our wings and let the past abide
But wherever we roam, whatever we do
The bond we shared will always shine true

Last Goodbyes (Remix)

Beautiful Love song  ! ...
Traduction paroles en Français et Anglais  : 
 Cet après midi d'été sans hésitation,
 Entre rires et regards je me suis perdu.
 Dans tes yeux le monde est resté,
 Mon amour sera toujours toi

 Avec les étoiles, on danse sans s'arrêter,
 Ta main dans la mienne
 je n'ai pas besoin de plus,
 Le ciel s'illumine quand tu es là,
 Dans tes lèvres j'ai trouvé ma vie.

 Il n'y a rien de plus que je puisse demander,
 Ton amour est tout ce que je veux ressentir.
 Dans mes rêves... Il y a toujours toi,  
mon amour,  Ma grande vertu

 À chaque étape
 Je veux être à tes côtés.
 Tu es la mélodie qui me fait chanter, 
 avec ton rire mes chagrins s'en vont
 mon amour...
 Tu es mon printemps

 Il n'y a rien de plus que je puisse demander
 Ton amour est tout ce que je veux ressentir
 Dans mes rêves... Il y a toujours toi
 mon amour, Ma grande vertu. 

 Dans tes bras
 J'ai trouvé ma paix
 Aucune tempête ne peut nous séparer
 tu es mon soleil, mon guide, ma vérité,
 mon amour, ma sincérité.

That summer afternoon, without hesitation,
Between laughter and glances, I lost myself.
In your eyes, the world remained,
My love will always be you.

With the stars, we dance without stopping,
Your hand in mine, I don't need more.
The sky lights up when you're there.
In your lips, I found my life.

There's nothing more I can ask for.
Your love is all I want to feel.
In my dreams... There's always you,
my love, My great virtue.

At every step,
I want to be by your side.
You are the melody that makes me sing,
with your laughter, my sorrows disappear.
My love...
You are my spring.

There's nothing more I can ask for.
Your love is all I want to feel.
In my dreams... There's always you,
my love, My great virtue.

In your arms
I have found my peace
No storm can separate us
You are my sun, my guide, my truth,
my love, my sincerity

El Amor Mio 🌸

say that again.18.25

This track is inspired by the Jazz in Duketown festival in our city Den Bosch. 

So, is it jazz?
Not really, but as in jazz there are influences of all kinds of music, from electro to rock and from Dub Step to traditional jazz.

All used instruments;  bass, synths, guitar, sax, drum programming, vocals, vocoder by Carlo Neve

(when the beat kicks in) BOUNCING

Every year, late spring,
there’s jazz in our Duketown
Jazz, that’s what it is
you can let it get into you

There are several stages,
Some are bigger some are small
But the little stage at the church square
is the best of them all

There’s a small blind man in the audience
holding his guide cane with both his hands,
his eyes are closed he’s stands quietly
when the music gets deeply in

There is a moment
where the rhythm takes control
when the beats are getting louder
he starts bouncing

And when he starts bouncing
we start bouncing
we start bounging

Bouncing

Bouncing (when the beat kicks in)

Vorrei farti un ritratto

vorrei farti un ritratto
disegnarti con linee d'amore
vorrei dare risalto
a quello che ho in fondo al cuore

dovrei usare l'azzurro del cielo  e farci un cuscino
per poterci adagiare i tuoi folti capelli di rame
e rubare i colori dorati dai raggi del sole
ricamarli con spruzzi e riflessi dall' onde del mare

vorrei farti un ritratto
disegnare quello che sento
vorrei dare risalto
e dare canto a quello che ho dentro

le tue labbra che sanno godere che sanno di miele  che sanno di te
sono piccoli petali rosa mossi dal vento 
e il sorriso che sanno donare parla d'amore 
un esplosione di sensi che fanno incantare

senza di te che c'é da fare? 
cosa sarebbe la mia vita senza te
senza di te senza emozione senza passione la mia vita senza te

universo infinito
mi perdo dentro ai tuoi occhi
hanno un taglio deciso
un orologio senza rintocchi

il tuo sguardo ammaliante ti rende regina del mondo
ed entra dentro di me come un fuoco nel mio profondo
son due perle di rara bellezza da invidiare
semplicemente i tuoi occhi son frasi d'amore

le tue labbra che sanno godere che sanno di miele  che sanno di te
sono piccoli petali rosa mossi dal vento 
e il sorriso che sanno donare parla d'amore 
un esplosione di sensi che fanno incantare

senza di te che c'é da fare? 
cosa sarebbe la mia vita senza te
senza di te senza emozione senza passione la mia vita senza te

senza di te che c'é da fare? 
cosa sarebbe la mia vita senza te
senza di te senza emozione senza passione la mia vita senza te

Vorrei farti un ritratto

Hour After Hour

CATFISH by Nova J

Got a face? (Not your own)
Got a name? (One you stole)
Got a story? (Full of holes)
Got some shame? (God, I hope so)

Feeling pretty? (Only online)
Feeling wanted? (On borrowed time)
Feeling brave? (Behind the screen)
You fooled me once — but now I see

You’re a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
Yeah, a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
You thought you’d get away with this?
You’re just a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)

Five eleven
Twenty-nine
Model pics
(Not even mine)
Stolen smile
Bedroom eyes
Face-tuned deep
Full of lies

One old selfie
From who knows when
You showed up
And lied again

You were looking (looking, looking)
For tonight (tonight, tonight)
Wanna trick me (trick me with a)
Pretty lie (lie, lie)

You were looking
For tonight
Tried to take me
For a ride

When we met
I saw the truth
Not the guy
From in the booth
You flinched hard
When I said hi
You said your name
I said “goodbye”

You meant no harm? (You swear, you swear)
But all I see is vacant stares
You built a mask, played the part
Now deal with it — I know your heart

You’re a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
Yeah, a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
Fake as hell and full of glitch
You’re just a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)

Five eleven
Twenty-nine
That ain’t your dog
That ain’t your ride
Bubble butt? (Nice try)
Laughed so hard
I nearly cried

You deceived me (And yourself)
Go get help (You need some help)

You were looking (looking, looking)
For tonight (tonight, tonight)
Tried to trick me (trick me just to)
Feel right (right, right)

You were looking (now exposed)
I saw through you (strike a pose)

You were looking (now exposed)
I saw through you (strike a pose)

You played a role
You wore it well
But fairy tales
Can go to hell
I don’t date liars
With bogus names
Delete your apps
And own your shame

You’re a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
Yeah, a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)
Don’t DM me — I ain’t your wish
You’re just a (Ca-ca-ca-ca…) catfish (Catfish)

You feel pretty? (Filter lies)
Feel authentic? (In disguise)
Five eleven? (Try five-five)
Fake the world — but not my eyes

You were looking (for tonight)
Tried to trick me (with a swipe)
You were looking (but I’m gone)
Try again — on someone dumb

Dear friends - I can't help it - I adore the female voice!

When Girls are Singing

When I listen to the girls when they are singing their song
my heart will melt and my soul feel so good since their voices are so great
all time - there must be something - that attract
the guys that hear - the womans voice which are singing for their soul 

Every day when I open the radio to hear
lovely songs that touch my dear soul and I often choose the songs
performed - by ladies who sing with bright
and crystal sound that makes my ears rejoice with joy

The choir in the church is something that You should hear
it is a sound as from angels above and when trumpets are playing
with the choir - something is fullfilled - in Your day
You can bring Your kids - back to Your home with satisfaction in Your heart

Lyrics in Swedish

När flickor sjunger

När jag lyssnar på flickorna då de sjunger sin sång
smälter mitt hjärta och min själ mår så bra eftersom deras röster är så fantastiska
hela tiden - det måste finnas något - som attraherar
killarna som hör - kvinnornas röst som sjunger för deras själ

Varje dag när jag öppnar radion för att höra
vackra sånger som berör min kära själ och jag väljer ofta sånger
framförda - av damer som sjunger med ett klart
och kristallklart ljud som får mina öron att jubla av glädje

Kören i kyrkan är något du borde höra
det är ett ljud som från änglar ovan och när trumpeter spelar
med kören - något uppfylls - i din dag
Du kan ta med dina barn - tillbaka till ditt hem med tillfredsställelse i ditt hjärta
