Hey Jeff man, love this groove and your work with the entire rhythm section. Your singing is spectacular, too. Wonderfully catchy vocal melodies in here. I also really like how you double the vocal melody on the guitar for the chorus. That really makes it stand out. Excellent work here, man!

Great track, Jimmy! I don't know much about American football, but I am with you on lifting our glasses and cheering :)

It s good you found each other😊great work!

Such a cool track Jimmy 😎 I really enjoyed the video as well 🎶

Hey Jimmy great track friend..........like the harmonica at the start

Great song, loving the bass filling those gaps and the guitar line with the vocal. Great story too!

Yes that is a nice place to listen to. A happy moments are worth. congratulations 👌👍🙂

The Voice Within The Voice  Revisited - [Ingvar Tautra]

Fairytale Forest Pt. 3

This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

Cover Solika - Mifankatiava ihany | by Kitana and Rina

Recorded early this morning on my phone, a simple take when it was quiet.
I am finding it quite difficult to play my guitar now because of my arthritis, so  good to play a little. 
Happy Solstice to all of you!!

She moved through the fair ( Trad Cover)

So what now?

The pieces are set,
The board is occupied,
The main actors have taken their positions.

The inevitable is coming,
Fear fills hearts and minds.

Will what many predict come to pass,
Or will fate turn in our favor?

The core of our beings has been seized by the machine.
The art that defined us is being smothered by a flood of perfect artificiality.

Simulation of emotions, simulation of art, simulation of humanity.
Where do we belong?

Where is my place?

And what now?

--------


This is a piece I improvised on March 23, 2025. I was surprised at how well it turned out. However, I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't think of anything more, so I'm publishing it as is, with minor tweaks (I literally added six notes in three places).

With this piece I am starting a series in which I will be posting rather uncomplicated, short pieces, created out of the need of the moment, under the impression of something specific.

To compose it I used only 3 plugins/sounds
Spitfire LABS Autograph Grand (piano) (free)
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings x2 (in octave)
And one patch from truly amazing synth from Arturia: Pigments

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

And What Now?

My EP SUPERNOVA contains two Japanese songs, and this is one of them. I have never released a song in Japanese before, but I took the plunge and decided to release these. It's a song recorded in one take with my acoustic guitar and vocal. The tempo is middle tempo (I didn't use the metronome function so I don't know the BPM). 3m58s. The main genre is Folk. This is a gentle and slightly blue song. Link to major platforms : https://linkco.re/E2aRhZS6

Lyrics : (Alright)

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

見知らぬ人に笑われて
僕は明日から戻るでしょう
僕の果てなき探究は
きっとあなたへと帰ってゆく

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

涙を見たくて
涙を流したくてOh
僕は僕は
きっと戻るね

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

FOREVER BE

Special thanks to Marty for his cappella ....

Lyrics: 

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?

Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal;

 everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

LIBERATION. 🎧

'Headlines and Other Distractions' a bright Jazz Fusion track inspired by the ceaseless noise and distraction on what is presented to us as "news". Lies, propaganda and spin.

Headlines and Other Distractions

     Welcome everyone! This song is all about celebrating the NFL American Football and beer! This song can also be for Soccer as well since that sport is very similiar and is loved in Europe and South America. I used to hang out with all my friends every Sunday at BW3's for NFL football and beer pre-pandemic. My wife and I used to be in a few Fantasy Football Leagues and we all got together to watch all the games. My favorite teams are the Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Neither teams is looking pretty good this year but we'll have to wait and see. I used to love my Sundays at BW3's with friends and family, that is until the pandemic hit and then sadly we stopped going and when we were able to go back again, it just wasn't the same anymore. My wife and I both quit all our leagues and now we watch football just for the love of watching football. I loved it so much that I wrote this song about the experience. Charlie sang the song very well and played the harmonica too. All good things must come to an end, I guess! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/9CtETimp-pI

I was very reluctant about dropping this video because my heart was breaking while listening to this song again. I know it's silly but we had such good times and good memories there for many years. But I got myself together and made the video a few weeks ago and worked very hard on it too! Took me about a week to finish it! When you watch the video you'll see how exciting it real was for me! It really was a glorious place!🥺 So join me in kicking off this 2025 season by lifting our glasses and cheering for the love of NFL football and Soccer! The games of kings! 🍺🍻 

“A GLORIOUS PLACE”

EVERY BEER GOES DOWN EASY,     
AT THE LOCAL SALOON,  
THE FOOD IS SALTY AND GREASY,
NOSES RED AS BALLOONS,
     
WORRIES MELT ONCE A WEEK,     
AT THE WATERING HOLE,    
LIFE IS GOOD, SO TO SPEAK,    
WHEN THE BAR ROCKS AND ROLLS,

EVERY JOKE BRINGS A SMILE TO YOUR FACE,         
EVERYONE IS A WELCOMED EMBRACE,         
EVERY SECOND IS DEAR,          
WITH FOOTBALL AND BEER,        
GOOD LORD WHAT A GLORIOUS PLACE, 
 
RAIN OR SNOW DOESN’T MATTER,   
THAT WON’T KEEP US AWAY,   
ONCE A WEEK IT’S LIKE THE SUPER BOWL,  
EVERY BEER A GREAT PLAY,
    
GOOD FRIENDS FILL EVERY BAR STOOL,    
AND WE ALL CHEER AS ONE,    
LIFE JUST COULDN’T GET BETTER,    
A BEER-BELLY BARREL OF FUN,   

EVERY JOKE BRINGS A SMILE TO YOUR FACE,         
EVERYONE IS A WELCOMED EMBRACE,         
EVERY SECOND IS DEAR,          
WITH FOOTBALL AND BEER,         
GOOD LORD WHAT A GLORIOUS PLACE,          
GOOD LORD WHAT A GLORIOUS PLACE,         
GOOD LORD WHAT A GLORIOUS PLACE.

Simple Original track
Lyrics/vocals by me
Music made in GarageBand

When I was younger I sometimes got depressed. I didn't know how to handle it. But as I got older I become more known with my mind and body, and learned how to deal with it in advance, recognize the signals that came first... And I got through  :)

Lyrics:

I see the big black hole
Right in front of me
Whispering evil in my ear...
Must avoid falling into it
Have courage
Show no fear....

My heart is beating
My blood is pumping
Can I find another way.....
Feeling lost
Feeling scared
Should I run, or should I stay....?

Small steps around the hole
Falling to the ground...
So much pain as I crawl
But I got through
A new day just began....

I got through!

I Got Through (Original)

Debut album 20 years in the making. A mix of storytelling, traditional and modern, with a strong 70's singer-songwriter vibe.

Living On The Coast

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
