Lyrics:

I don’t know what you say
I don’t know what you said to me
I feel rain under the sea
I don’t feel your love for me

Don’t know why, it feels so wrong
Voices sound like I am numb
Can’t move on, can’t help myself, I miss you

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, you don’t know what it means to me

I feel rain under the sea
I don’t feel your love for me
Don’t know why, it feels so wrong
Voices sound like I am numb
Can’t move on, can’t help myself, I miss you

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I’m lost in you entirely
Starry-eyed is my disguise, you don’t know what it means to me

Starry-Eyed

TONES OF STEEL

This is the first time I have recorded a duo acoustic instrumental with my old but solid and trustworthy steel string guitar. I bought it from a friend in the eighties. At that time I was really expanding my guitar skills into different musical iterations of the guitar, and specifically American Folk with its fast finger picking styles. Leo Kottke specifically. 

Although, back then, as a teenager, I already knew the instrument from the music of Al Dimeola. The steel string guitar wonderfully brigdes a gap between the nylon string classical or acoustic guitar and the electric guitar, having the longer sustain and ringing tone of the electric with its steel/nickel wound strings but the dynamics and woody sounding acoustic properties of the nylon.

The style here is my blend of fusion, blues , rock, classical and maybe some latin. As usual I center this around some pre-conceived chord progressions, melodies and allow improvisation to explore more tonalities and directions.

As always I really enjoy your comments, likes and shares!

... my interpretation of Paul's superb back track. "Why" - in my humble opinion there's always answers ... but hardly anybody cares ...... poverty, injustice - nothing is without reason ...
