Another great song, Jimmy ! Charlie did a great job singing, and you and your wife did a great job backing :)

Digging this super sweet track Jimmy 🤍

Over the Rainbow [instrumental] Trumpet and piano

I did this trumpet and piano version in early 2021.

Two favourite covers come to mind for this famous classic. One is by Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole from Hawaii who is no longer with us and Eva Cassidy who has also departed this earthly plain. Both are on youtube. Eva has some other great songs there as well. 

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

Piano arrangement and performance by jazz pianist Doug McKenzie. Trumpet arrangement and performance by yours truly.

Over the rainbow

my 70s nostalgia train continues.
As kids we loved Bruce Lee and his movies and his death was very upsetting..I remember it well
When I got older I appreciated his teachings on how to live a life as an  athlete,  an artist and as a person.
Bruce cowrote the first 2 verses  as i used some sayings of his
you can hear 3 soundclips of him..first is from the movie Enter the Dragon, the others from an interview.
song is simple..the feeling behind it complex

A Little Bruce Lee Goes A Long Way

Empty the mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water flowing
Don't waste time cause time is life
If you think it so
It will be what you become 
That one kick practiced 10,000 times

Hand on the rock
Open it up
Don't be a fist of fury
Be happy but never satisfied 
Obey the principles 
But don’t be bound by them
Be water my friend 
Don't pray for an easy life

Them old soul ways and teachings
I didn't learn them when I was a kid
I was more mesmerized by his fighting thighs
Those crazy Kung Fu moves he did

Now I wanna put some Bruce Lee in my life
My quarrelsome mind
Leave it behind
Defeat my worry and calm that strife
Be open to the message
Find peace, Find the light
A little Bruce  goes a long way in this life

Mirror, Mirror on every wall
What is real 
What is reflection 
They must shatter, let them fall
Destroy the false, the fake
Find your truth behind them all
Be water my friend

July ‘73
I remember that day
When I heard he was taken
His end a mystery 
For my friends and I
Those summer nights 
We posed, we practiced, we entered the dragon
Not ready to face the world outside

Let us put some Bruce Lee in our lives 
Speak to change 
And rearrange 
See beyond the black and white 
Just a speck of him
Is all we need 
To season up our spice
A little Bruce goes a long way in this life

A Little Bruce Lee Goes A Long Way

I love the KSB sound. This instrumental inspired me to make the lyrics and songline, and i "gave it a bit of a new wave techno"-vibe.

I'm an outlaw- Lyrics

Maybe it’s true I’m wild and hard to control
And maybe it’s because
I have an untamable soul
I’m always on the run
I stay out of the sun, out of the sun, out out
Out of the light, out out
I’m an outlaw

I have to hide
An Outlaw
Yes Sir, Yes Mam,
That’s what I am
I am an outlaw

I’m under a ban
I’m under restriction
The law no longer offers me protection

Banned, barred, prohibitted, forbidden, Fugitive, Veto, embargo, outcast

Outlaw (KillaSoundBoy-Saskia)

DR TOKEN’S REVENGE (Ft.Chris Grant)

This track is the second track from my ep CHEMICAL. 120 BPM. 6m6s. The intro is long, but bear with it. It leads into a terrifyingly flashy and groovy tune. This was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as Primal Scream. CHEMICAL Link in Bio!

THERE IS LOVE

This lyrics are for those who lost someone who was close to them, and who left a mark <3

Lyrics:

I hear your laughter, I see your smile
Even though it's been a while
since you waved goodbye to Mother Earth
I can feel your presence, strong and clear

Chorus:
All the good memories of you
Will always be a big part of me
You have a special place in my heart
Makes it beat strong, wherever i go

You are my smiling memory...

You said so many kind words, you were never rude
Even when you had a reason to be
Took care of those who needed a hand
It didn't matter to you, woman or man

Chorus:
All the  good memories of you
Will always be a big part of me
You have a special place in my heart
Makes it beat strong, wherever I go

You are my smiling memory..

I look at the sky, and I see you
A dancing light, waving at me
You still bring a smile to my face
And I can feel your presence, strong and clear

Chorus:
All the good memories of you
Will always be a big part of me
You have a special place in my heart
Makes it beat strong, wherever I go

You are my smiling memory...

My Smiling Memory

an old  summer song  i had hanging around
its a naive plea for world peace  using the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High as the vehicle. 
not sure if it's effective but I do like the movie

(ps full disclosure...my Mama never said," It's nice to be nice to the nice"...the line was spoken by  Major Frank Burns on a  MASH episode..so kudos to the screenwriter there)

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice 
Learn it Know it Live it
The mantra is precise
Dress code ignorance brings
Fast food sacrifice
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice

No Weapons No Wantings No War
Learn it Know it Live it
It's all I'm hoping for
Why can't we love one another
It's a simple thing for sure
No Weapons No Wantings No War

Cause your time is my time
It's our time let us be
These burdens and these battles 
Become high school history 
All we need are some tasty waves and a cool buzz and we'll be fine
Just like holy Jeff Spicoli and Mr. Hand
Find some peace in these Fast Times

Break

No Shirt No Shoes No Dice
Learn it Know it Live it
My mama said, "It's nice to be nice to the nice"
"Totally awesome!" ..."Alright Hamilton!"
Disarm that dolt with a beverage device
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice
No Shirt No Shoes No Dice

Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel!  **I NEVER USE A.I. FOR ANY OF MY SONGS!** Just me & Charlie warts and all! I actually play all the instruments & Charlie sings and plays the Harmonica! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL!! 
This is another of my travels down Memory Lane songs and video. I love to reminisce about the good times when I was a kid and life was ours for the taking! Those sweet memories seem to be diminishing now and being replaced with harsh ones about hatred and division and greed. Okay, but let's stay positive and happy for now because this song is one of joy! Charlie sang it perfectly and once again I got my beautiful wife to come down to the studio and join me in the backing vocals as I did on the song "I Still Remember". It has that same early 60's rock & roll groove to it and we had a fabulous time recording it! This is one of my favorites because it's a story song about being teenagers and having fun! As the French always say "La joie de vivre"! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/f5LvddjxBSU

I worked very hard on the video and storyboarded it like some of my other songs to try and relay that carefree ambiance of youth! My wife at the time was feeling much better and had regained her strength and vibrance after all the cancer treatments the year before. Overall 2009 was a good year and it shows in this song! I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks again for watching and listening! Watch the video and subscribe! "It seems times were always  better and  life was easier to play, somehow we'd always find comfort in tomorrow back in younger days." Take care! 🙏😎✌🏼

“BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS"

TELL ME DO YOU REMEMBER? 
WHEN WE FIRST MET BABE?      
LIFE WAS LONG, THE FUTURE BRIGHT,     
IT WAS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND I’LL NEVER FORGET BABE,
HOW WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE THAT NIGHT,
      
WE HAD THE HUNGER IN OUR SOULS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,    
OUR HEARTS BEAT JUST FOR ROCK & ROLL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,

SO WILD AND SO AMBITIOUS, 
NOTHING EVER MATTERED,             
HAND IN HAND AND DAY TO DAY,    
CHASING DREAMS AND WISHES ON OUR WAY UP THE LADDER,    
WITH ONLY LOVE TO LEAD THE WAY,
     
WE HAD THE WILL TO ALWAYS TRY, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FIRE IN OUR EYES, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
        
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,        
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
                  
ROLLIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE RADIO BLARING,    
UNSURE JUST WHERE WE HAD TO BE,    
WE WERE GONNA DO THINGS OUR WAY, 
UNINHIBITED AND DARING,  
WAS HOW WE FACED OUR DESTINY,
     
WE NEVER HID OUR FEELINGS WELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,   
WE SHOT THEM DOWN & GAVE THEM HELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
      
CUTTIN’ CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL, 
RUNNIN’ AROUND & HAVIN’ FUN,   
OUT OF CONTROL EVERY NOW AND THEN,     
THERE WERE NEVER ANY RULES, 
TWO OUTLAWS ON THE RUN,     
YES LIFE WAS DIFFERENT WAY BACK WHEN,
      
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THEM ALL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FUTURE BY THE BALLS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS, 
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,     
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,           
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,       
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,        
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,       
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS.

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS!** 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, 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'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!👍😎✌🏼.
