Memories of a very very good friend, musician, singer and song/lyrics writer, UK Man R.I.P.

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

John the Fisherman

A song I posted a three weeks ago …that Johnny AKA ~  ( No Killie Fish) ~ https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2 took me up on my request...
for someone to put a backing track down for me. I have been so often amazed at Johnny’s talent, I of course took him up on this!!

Never Sailed Goodbye song written by ~ Doug Roossien  Apr 19, 2022

Johnny took my raw acoustic song  and put a some wonderful instrumentation down for me to put a another vocal take on it, then he mixed it and mastered it … Was really very happy with the results. ( Thank you Johnny)

https://www.reverbnation.com/artist/video/17109227 new video of the song!!

This was a first effort of a long ago song ... (originated from a little poem I wrote well over 40 years ago)"
"Dockman's got a cold hand,...first ship off at dawn,
Liberty Sails ..to the horizon ...now she's gone"

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodnight

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

I’ve only been there once…just a little port in Maine
A sleepy little harbor town…that I’d love to see again
Dockman’s got a cold hand…first ship off at dawn
Liberty sails…to the horizon…now she’s gone

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never, never sailed goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never …sailed goodbye

NEVER SAILED GOODBYE - (MUSIC & MASTERED NO KILLIE FISH)_

ALL DOORS

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was unless if someone figures it out on their own, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US.

Lyrics
Colors in the Garden

the colors in the garden are tempting them
        D.               2/3A.  1/3G D.          A
all butterflies and all the bees around
       D.            G.              D.        A.            D. A
what shall they choose - maybe all the red
          G.             D.          D.                    A.      D.   A
or preferently blue or maybe yellow or pink
      D.              A.                     D.             A 
they will get as much of the available sweets
               A.        D.      G.          D.           A.         A
and transport all the stuff to the communal storehouse
        D                       A.     A.                D.        A.    D.      G  D
and all the colors are the gifts -  to all of us -  from nature itself  
                   A.                   D.        A.         D.  D.        A.          D

When spring has arrived to the garden
           D.                 A.                D.     A
the ladies and their husbands go out for to work
       D.                      G.                  D.            A.       D.  A
what shall they do. - it may be so tough
          G             D.    D.                  A.            D.  A
to clear up all rubbish accumulated around the plants 
     D.               A                       D.                        A
they may take a break having a cup of coffee or tea
                A.        D.      G.                      D.            A.       A
they will prepare all the soil so that the garden explodes in colors
                   D.                 A.  A.               D.                            A.  D.    G.   D
and all the colors are the gifts -  to all of us -  from nature itself  
                   A.                   D.        A.         D.  D.        A.          D
