Never Ending Song of Love

There once was an amazing magical musical Band called 'Bread', fronted by the inimitable David Gates. Cover 'Sketch' created with all due respect and love for Bread, albeit only a rather small slice here. ;-)
Look What You've Done
(Bread - Gates - 1970)
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some-one you ought to meet,
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.

Sunny Beaches - All of Them

Look What You've Done - Version

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country... 
This track is remastered by Houman (https://soundcloud.com/houmans)

Tiny

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

Close To The Rainbow

A seasonal multi-analog and digital rocker.

Run to the cold

At the time of the birth of jazz, the role of the guitar was primarily as a rhythm instrument. I enjoyed this recording while remembering the lives of the great guitar players of the time, wondering what it would be like if we translated that atmosphere into a modern style. I am extremely grateful to Vocalatti and Mark Dorricot for agreeing to release this collaboration.

This time, I focused on playing the rhythm guitar, which is modest but has a strong presence.This recording does not include my solo guitar parts.

I am honored to be able to release this collaboration here. Please enjoy Vocalatti's wonderful vocals and Mark Dorricott's excellent performance.

===============================================
The chord you are sensing while listening to this recording is probably Dm7/G/. That's certainly how I play my rhythm guitar this time. However, I believe that this wonderful work was clearly written for those seeking an introduction to the blues.So, while listening to this recording, let's play the chord progression shown here = D7/G7/ along with the song. A three-finger arpeggio would also work. I think that alone will make you feel a little strange. That's exactly the entrance to the blues. The more perfect this basic recording is, the more we want to play it on the D7/G7/. I would like each of you to listen to this recording thoroughly and experience the joy of playing the D7/G7/ together.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people who have supported this track. And as I previously mentioned here, I recorded a guitar accompaniment for this song using the "D7 and G7" chords listed below. The track will be made private and only the link will be introduced below. Please click and play. I would be happy if it was useful for those of you who are practicing guitar.

The D7 and G7 positions I recommend are in the link below.
 I would like you to listen to this track and get an idea of the sound of the "D7 and G7" chords added to the original sound source. Also, learn how to trace the scale when using the "D7 and G7" chords.
First of all, "D7" = "D", so in the Western musical scale, Bm/D pentatonic comes to mind as a scale that can be used there. .
And one more thing: using "D7" directly leads to the use of the blues scale. When the chord is "D7", it is natural to try playing Dm/F pentatonic.
Please play it and check the above.

Lyrics:

They’re creeping around in the dark 
Something is haunting me
Alone with my shadows, my doubts and my fears
Alone with all the shit you can’t see

And I never showed, but they keep me in chains
In the height of my life, and they’re the root of my pain
It’s time to cut them loose 
And just move on

And I know it’s only me
My own worst enemy
Time to just move on

I’m here 
There’s no way to change the past 
And I’m tired of looking back
I know I gotta move on
Know I gotta be strong
Here
Life will move on by 
If I don’t get up and try
So, I’m breaking chains 
I’m gonna leave the pain right here

You’re worthless
You’ll never amount to anything
You just wait

I know it’s had me trapped
Like a rope around my throat 
And I know that it’s me that’s holding the leash 
I just need the strength to let go

And I know it’s only me
My own worst enemy
It's time to just move on

I’m here 
There’s no way to change the past 
And I’m tired of looking back
I know I gotta move on
Know I gotta be strong
Here
Life will move on by 
If I don’t get up and try
So, I’m breaking chains 
I’m gonna leave the pain right here

I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me

Move on

I’m here 
There’s no way to change the past
And I’m tired of looking back
I know I gotta move on
Know I gotta be strong
Here
Life will move on by if I don’t get up and try
So, I’m breaking chains 
I’m gonna leave the pain right here

I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising
I feel the light rising in me

In memoriam Daniel C. Dennett (1942-2024)
"In Walt Disney's classic animated film Dumbo, about the little elephant who learns to spread his giant ears and fly, there is a pivotal scene in which a dubious—indeed terrified—Dumbo is being cajoled by his friends, the crows, to leap offa cliff into the air, proving to himself that he can fly. One of the crows has a bright idea. When Dumbo isn't looking he plucks a tail feather from one of his kind and then ceremonially hands it to Dumbo, announcing that it is a magic feather: So long as Dumbo clutches it in his trunk, he can fly! The scene is presented with masterful economy. No explanation is provided, since even small children get the point without being told: The feather isn't really magic; it's a prosthetic device, a belief-crutch of sorts that will get Dumbo off the ground by the power of positive thinking. Now imagine a variation on that scene. Imagine that one of the other crows, a 
village skeptic who is smart enough to see what trick is being played but not smart enough to see its virtue, starts trying to inform Dumbo of the truth as he perches on the cliff edge, feather held tightly. "Stop that crow!" the children would shriek. Stifle that smarty-pants, quick, before he ruins it for Dumbo!
 
In the eyes of some, I am that crow."
(Daniel C. Dennett, Freedom Evolves, 2003)

Verse 1:
A promise was made
And It shouldn’t fade
The words were spoken
Then they was broken

We were in the bright sunshine
I thought she was mine
It’s not something you can pawn
And asa now she is gone

I was here forever beau
It was years ago

Verse 2:
But I thought it still held
Like a solid weld

A promise is a promise
Even for a doubting Thomas
It should carry some weight
It doesn’t have an expiration date

But a last I find
That things can unwind
And we are not together
In this Summer weather

Verse 3:
She made her assurance
But I had no insurance
From the broken promise she made
Yes our romance began to fade

Now I am in the dark
What was there was just a spark
Now I Don’t know
Which way to go

No direction in my life
Yes I’m living in such strife
Wondering if life means anything
My joy has no more spring

I am that sad guy you passed by
Not noticing the tears in his eyes

B E T R A Y A L (with Daniel Lockhart)

Dedicated in loving memory to our mothers.
Thank you from my heart dear Debbie, thank you for beautiful music and your friendship.

IN MEMORY
Blessed be Thou for all the joy
My soul has felt to-day!
O let its memory stay with me
And never pass away!


I was alone, for those I loved
Were far away from me;
The sun shone on the withered grass,
The wind blew fresh and free.


Was it the smile of early spring
That made my bosom glow?
'Twas sweet, but neither sun nor wind
Could raise my spirit so.


Was it some feeling of delight,
All vague and undefined?
No, 'twas a rapture deep and strong,
Expanding in my mind!


Was it a sanguine view of life
And all its transient bliss—
A hope of bright prosperity?
O no, it was not this!

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

music composed and played by Neno J.)

I recently noticed a very talented musician with exceptional vocal abilities on Soundcloud. I liked her voice and I liked how she approaches different musical styles. So I thought how nicely her vocals would fit in my "Clouds". That's how the clouds got their angels.

When i put my hand on my heart, and i try to feel
I try to feel what i want, what i want
I feel nothing, nothing

I wanna know do i belong, do i belong, i feel nothing

When i am sitting with my music on my cloud my feet don’t touch the ground,
when i’m sitting on my cloud
Surrounded surrounded with the sounds

on my cloud i’m perfectly happy, i feel nothing , i feel my music

I don’t want to climb mountains, i don’t have a bucketlist

I don’t wanna feel my body, don’t want to hear myself thinking
More and more i live on my cloud, it’s difficult to come back from my cloud.

Had this one on the back burner for quite a while (ruminating in insecurity and a thousand endings) until my wife heard it the other night on staycation weekend in our mix. Her telling me i was a fool for not sharing it with the world and how it made her feel was the catalyst to finish it, so here it is! :)

Lyrics & vocal : Janne Hennie

My beloved children this song is for you
I just want to give a bit of my view
On what I have thought on
Lately, when I think of you..

I promised to be a role model for you
But I made mistakes
I stumbled on my way
Although I tried my best for you..

Sometimes it sure was hard to see
when I made difficult choices
which you thought was wrong
And sometimes I didn't seem strong..

Sometimes we argued and disagreed
I didn't always understand
That you could get tired
Of living with me
And my weak memory..

I could get mad for no reason at all
It wasn't fair
I was just tired
But you was never to blame..

My beloved children this song is for you
I love you so much
I am so proud
For what you have become
My beloved daughters and sons

In the depths of all these twisted blooms
drifting solemnly in summers hue
glazing luminous on paths we tread
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

patterns dancing in the air that looms
drifting shadows cross the skies we knew
glazing luminous on boughs that pledge
hanging in the wild days that fled

the distant past that hides in me
divides the light inside you see
the scars that slide will be
forever in these strange old seeds

divisions of light

Lost in the crowd
We're meeting after all
No digital
Our first Rendez-Vous
We were from cloud
But now we're physical
Don't tell me Baby!
I still can't believe I can touch you

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

You can be proud 
In love you made me fall
Forget it all
Do you feel it too?
Laughing out loud
We look hysterical
Oh come on Baby!
Don't you see
What's between me and you?

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

Shades Of The Past ( feat. Greg Willis )

Shades Of The Past ( Fox and Harris feat Greg Willis )

First track of a new album where I'll try to be more eclectic, with closer approach to some genres. Experimented on this one over-editing vocal line on the left, and getting midi files out of organic guitar melodies, which I could play with virtual instruments. I hope you'll enjoy a different Ruizzoid shape.

Dedicated to Germán Coppini’s ‘Golpes Bajos’, one of my favorite groups of the Spanish ‘Nueva Ola’.

Lyrics (original/translated):

NO TODO ACABA (JUGUETES ROTOS)  /  NOT EVERYTHING ENDS (BROKEN TOYS)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hay cosas en la vida que no cambian nada.  /  there are things in life which don’t change at all.
Hazme pensar que no estás gastada,  /  Make me think that you are not worn,
que el paso de los años no te cambió nada.  /  that the passing years didn’t change you at all.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Juguetes rotos, muñecas olvidadas,  /  Broken toys, forgotten dolls,
la imagen de mi espejo parece cansada.  /  the image from my mirror seems to be tired.
La voz de la noche ya no me llama,  /  The voice of the night doesn’t call me anymore,
me  resisto a pensar que todo se acaba.  /  I refuse to think that everything ends.

Hazme pensar que lo nuestro no acaba  /  Make me think that our thing doesn’t end
cuando despierte por la mañana.  /  when I wake up in the morning.
Hazme pensar en ti con calma,  /  Make me think about you calmly,
hazme creer que te tengo amarrada.  /  make me think that I get you tied up.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hazme creer que aún estoy en casa,  /  make me think that I’m still at home,
hazme pensar que duermo entre sábanas,   /  make me think that I sleep between sheets,
hazme pensar que nada cambia.  /  make me think that nothing changes.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)
