the smooth jazzy vibe the mix of sincerity and irony are very cool;  your voice reminds me so much of Mozez who did vocals on Zero 7's cover of I Have Seen

that rhythm section and horns coming in like classic Al Green

truly inspiring work, Steely Dan kind-a-groove and sound but yours, great...

Immediately grabbed by this. Very cool soul/jazz sound, reminding me also of SD and Van the Man through that super smooth groove. Awesome vocals and harmonies.

COME IN WITH THE FIRE

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

LETRAS / LYRICS

ENTRA SIN MIEDO / COME IN WITHOUT FEAR

Fuera hay truenos; / Outside there are thunders;
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Fuera hay viento; / Outside there is wind;
entra corriendo. / come rush in.

Soy tu refugio protector; / I am your protective shelter;
entre mis brazos estarás mejor: / whithin my arms you’ll be better:
ven a buscar mi calor. / come to find my warmth.

Dentro hay fuego; / Inside there is fire;
entra a verlo. / come in to see it.

Dentro te espero, / Inside I wait for you,
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Entra sin miedo (No clarinet was harmed)

Dreams will be dreams, and times must be waisted.... Another song for our upcoming debut that we just finished -originally written for a piano, but it turned out so much better giving the acoustic guitar the lead.  Give it a listen, and let us know what you think! Happy to be a part of the Soundcloud community and to discover so much talent!! Keep creating great music!

Days and days
Are passing by
We go in circles again
All of our lives

Hundred places
And hundred nights
We've braved the town again
Every time 

And if you don't mind
Would you be so kind
And stay close to me

And if you don't mind
And if you think that it's alright
Then I will agree

Dreams will be dreams
Time must be waisted
Until in the end
It doesn't matter if we are lost my friend

Days and days
I'm by your side
I cannot leave you here
Just like that

And the people that live around here
They don't know what love is
They just stick to their ambitions
To be the first ones on the subway

And if you don't mind
Would you be so kind
And just let them win

And if you know a better way
To waste the the morning, waste the day
You can count me in

Dreams will be dreams
Time must be wasted
Until one fine day
We stop to find we never went astray

Mary , Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587), also known as Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland (1542–67) and queen consort of France (1559–60). Her unwise marital and political actions provoked rebellion among the Scottish nobles, forcing her to flee to England, where she was eventually beheaded as a Roman Catholic threat to the English.
The scene to the soundtrack:
In the May sunshine, Mary and her 2nd husband Lord Darnley her cousin went to ride to the Scottish
woodlands.It all seemed like a dream, the wild ride, the strange smells and sounds.
They should have a race. Mary loved to ride and to ride fast. A horn sounded, it notes oddly out of
place where no hunters were.

Too close to home is the second track to be taken from my elements e.p and solo project 
To overcome darkness and isolation we have to reset our-selfs  from within and find the light its humanity against the elements but nature will always find a way and win [Jim mystic manser nov 2020]
lyrics 
The pressure cookers boiling and we got to close to home
 society has been spoiling all the things we loved and known 
locked down and now you say your missing having fun
just a way of nature telling you shes done
is it me ? looking too a grey and empty sea
is it you ? doesnt have a clue what we supposed to do
and now its all to close to home
they say your better off alone 
and i keep running from the storms 
to find a place thats safe and warm

put my arms and legs into the rain and in the air
frustrated travellers you arent going anywhere
just a slice of fiction now its getting hard to laugh
like a faded actor who hides an autograpth
is it us? making to much fuss to get from A to B
or is it me living in this life of novel mysteries

Too close to home

Too Close To Home

It has been a long hard year for everyone and emotions have been high. From despair over loss, to fear of not being able to repair our lives and anger because not enough was done to lessen the possibility of paying this price because too many haven't wanted to believe it was happening.  This will be a year that will never be forgotten and the repercussions have only begun to be felt. We will never be the same again no matter how much we pretend we won't have to create a new normal. The year 2019 was the last year of 'Good old Days' which is my next piece of music.

A Year of Sadness

A Heavy Price to Pay

A mellow tune about the night sky.

In the evening sky

Written and recorded 1st December 2020

This week I only just learned of the passing of one of my favourite musicians on Soundcloud, Jim Horbett. Jim originally went under the monicker 'Local Man' and posted many wonderful songs, some of which are available on Bandcamp, but some are (as far as I know) only available here on SC.

Jim joined the Seattle Colonels of Truth a few years ago, but it was with his pals Daniel Ullom and Forrest Marowitz that he formed the Rain City Ramblers, a stunning 3-piece playing a mixture of their own material and traditional American roots music, including some of Jim's own pieces that he debuted here, such as Holiday and Suburban Hellfire. 

Jim's music was a great source of inspiration and one of his last posts on SC was an experimental piece called 'There's No Constant', a haunting and brilliantly imaginative piece that I took as inspiration for one of my most recent songs, 'On The Waterfront'... indeed, the original working title of my tune was 'Jim's song'. Sadly, by the time I messaged Jim to let him know about the song, he had already tragically passed away from cancer, aged just 31.

RIP James, 1987-2019

Please check out his wonderful music here:

Lyrics:
Jim was "Local Man"
A Rain City Rambler
Once a Colonel of Truth
Not long ago

Bluegrass fingerpicker
Buffalo troubadour
"Scuz King" magic maker
Not long ago

I'm torn by feelings of loss
I'm torn by feelings of love
Goodbye Ramblin' Man
We'll miss you oh so very much

That square neck resonator
On "Queen of Revelry"
Rang like strains of heaven
Not so long ago

Bad News (Blues) came calling
like Suburban Hellfire
Too long for the season
Not long ago...

I'm torn by feelings of loss
I'm torn by feelings of love
Goodbye Local Man
We'll miss you oh so very much

Local Man (Song For Jim Horbett)
