تا تو نگاه میکنی کار من آه کردن است

ای به فدای چشم تو این چه نگاه کردن است

شب همه بی تو کار من شکوه به ماه کردن است

روز ستاره تا سحر تیره به آه کردن است

از غم خود بپرس کو با دل ما چه میکند



این هم اگر چه شکوه ی شحنه به شاه کردن است

گاه به گاه پرسشی کن که زکات زندگی

پرسش حال دوستان،گاه به گاه کردن است

چون تو نه در مقابلی ،عکس تو پیش رو نهم

این هم آب و آینه خواهش ماه کردن است

Noxpox - Patt ☻ (Remix)

I went to the movies twice this summer, after not having been there since well before the pandemic. This music came out of that experience, as I was reminded of how much I love the cinema.

Roll The Credits

A short tone poem to enjoy...
I sat and played
The piano so free
I heard Monet and Satie
It was a momentary thing
Interrupted by a ring
I left it there and took the call
It seems I was finished
Afterall...

A Musing #1

A Musing #2 (User song #18)
  
I sat and played the
Piano so free
My head in a fog
My eyes blurry
There were no songs in my head
I found my way to the end!

A Musing #2

I sat and played the
Piano so free
I lifted my fingers
Where is my energy?
I softly touched the keys
And thought COFFEE
A happy me!

A Musing #3

I sat at the piano
Playing so free
I feel the changes 
Changing me
Is this something new?
My heart beats amiss 
Maybe it's bliss!

Explicit lyrics:
I think i had too much last night
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

Another lesson for trying to avoid reality
another trip into the dark insanity

The devil is a bottle and it's rotten to the core
Bring the fckn bottle, until i reach the "shore"
Listen UP everyone i got news for you
Bring this fckn bottle, and no one's gonna, no one's gonna, no one's gonna get harmed!

i think this headache don't wanna leave me
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

Rock and Roll Kills

The Devil is a Bottle

Warned

I sat and played the
Piano so free
My fingers felt nimble
So I practiced Czerny
Sounds tickled my ears
Flying over the keys
Music, Oh Music
How lovely to hear!

You Have Passage to My Last Shabby Corner, and There, Among the Debris, You’ve Found Life

Do Da Stomp

Triple Echo

All of the people throughout history
Who used the earth so thoughtlessly
Now there’s not much left for us at all
Cause our shortsighted ancestors dropped the ball

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

The old people speak with a gleam in their eyes
Of childhood memories and clear crystal skies
They say that once the sky was blue
And children played upon the land

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time 

Our ancestors were shortsighted and now their children pay
Awakening each morning to greet the tainted day
Gazing out across an endless barren plain
No more amber waves of grain

If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time

Arrite... dusting this one off again for another year.
First, to answer the question I know everyone wants to know about this one - "Is that your real hair?!?" 
No. No it's not.   😎 
----- ----- -----
I lived in Japan for a year between 2002-2003 doing the teaching English thing, and made some good friends at one of the schools I worked at. We sometimes went out for Karaoke (of course!) and on one such night around Christmas I took a turn to sing one of my faves - Blue Christmas, the Elvis version. 

This is a live recording of me that night. The exuberant reaction from the group is partly due to the fact that I was/am normally a pretty quiet & reserved fellow, especially in crowds, and they were both shocked and seemingly quite impressed by my getting up to sing Elvis, and by how much I apparently sounded like him. 

I could translate some of what they're saying here, but you'll get the idea. For example though, the word "Sugoi" means "Cool!". In another spot, someone walks into the room mid-song, and another person says "hey hey, this is cool, it's Elvis!... watch this..."
See what you think.  ;)

Happy holidays everybuddy!

lyrics (Parental Advisory):
------------------------------
You're so strage to me

you got offended so fast
you're not built to last
you're made of sugar, butter and shit

You think it's only you
you cry like a bitch
your job it's only to abuse

whatever i say is wrong
your life is like a crappy song
no reason to talk to you anymore!

You're So Strange To Me

This improvisation started out as a holiday song.  "Musings" are my sketch journal like a painter.  Most are complete songs with some interesting twists.  Thank you for listening!

"Jamming w/ Jazz Bass" (Edit: Mastered in iZotope Ozone on January 13th, 2025.)

A little excercise that I finished today. I made this track originally some time ago playing a VST bass, but after I finally got a Jazz Bass recently I wanted to try to play and record something with it, and here we go! 

Played by me using sounds from different VST instrument collections (Rhodes V8 Pro electric piano, Native Instruments Komplete Now collection & Abbey Road 1980s Drums, UVI SonicPass collection). The bass was played by me with a Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass (Cobra Blue). 

Sorry about the mistakes with the bass.. But after I sold my beautiful G&L Interceptor bass guitar in the late 1990's it has now been maybe 25 years since I played bass the last time, and I'm practicing:) 

Especially playing with the correct timing and with right & consistent velocities was really challenging. I also actually played the bass line maybe too loud, so had to do some EQ'ing and stuff afterwards.

Catharsis

هم عاقبت مردم کاشانه به دوشم
‎من گام و گذر را به رسیدن نفروشم

‎من صورت ماتی که به آیینه نیاید
‎شعری که نه دیوانه نه فرزانه درآید

‎صدایم بزن که شاید زمستان من سرآید
‎مرا زنده کن به تابیدنی که تنها ز رویت برآید

‎صدایم بزن که بی تو فرو خفته در سکوتم
‎به بال و پری نجاتم بده که من روبه‌رو با سقوطم

‎سرتاسر این بحر پراکنده سراب است
‎حال قمر و شمس و زمین بی تو خراب است

‎حتی اگر اندوه تو در سینه بریزم
رسواتر از آنم که به آیینه گریزم

Chaartaar - Sedayam Bezan

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641
