wounded land

I Run

tears

never give up

Speedmike a eu la gentillesse de me proposer ce très joli morceau de guitare afin de poser une voix dessus. L'inspiration au piano m'est venue rapidement ce qui m'a permis d'écrire le texte.
Cela a été un réel plaisir de travailler sur ce morceau. 
Merci à toi Speedmike et à toi Lena qui est venue poser délicatement ta voix :)

Friends Say Goodbye

The Man: We are so grateful to our friend SpeedMike! Follow him here -https://soundcloud.com/user-423331569
To think that a family from a little town in CT. USA is working with this outstanding guitarist from France is truly overwhelming! He helped this track out in so many ways....this song might not have happened without him.


The Song: This track has been a long time coming! This was actually one of the first original songs that we did....we just could never ever get it right...finally with the help of SpeedMike .....now in it's third incarnation here it is!

Will I lose my soul in this garden?
Disrobe me and my knowledge of good.
These forbidden feelings will they last forever?
Will our love ever be understood? 


Is the knowledge of good and evil the curse of mankind? Of course drawing from the story of our creation, this song describes how despite what we may be feeling at any given time, each and every decision we make has a real consequence. Sometimes long lasting feelings of guilt and despair imprison us forever. Temptation is strong.....Will you lose your soul in this garden?



Bills Note: So this is one of the first original songs we started doing at gigs. We originally just wanted to do a few gigs here and there at restaurants and stuff and we basically did all covers until I came up with this song. Truthfully you wouldn't even recognize the original version....it has come so far! We recorded the early version and I just could not get it right. I mixed it, I re-mixed it, I re-re-mixed, I re-arranged it ... and finally I threw it away in despair..... 
Years later along comes SpeedMike....I hear his guitar sound... his melodic style ...and well inspiration strikes! Here it is. 

We are part of a revolution, a family of independent musicians around the world right here on SoundCloud! 

If you actually read this far then God bless you!

In This Garden - featuring Speedmike

Guitarist for many years now, I used to play in several groups with different kind of musical influences. I decided, after a very deep reflexion, to take a break and build up my own home studio. So many ideas in my head that I'm trying to express !
Thank you very much for listening, reposting, likes and all the comments !
