Duration: 3 min 6 s
Description: Played the Bass , wrote it and sang it as a demo to play with accompaniment .

Guitars, arrangement and vocals by Neno J.

Moonchild (King Crimson cover)

This is a piece I wrote many years ago, and recorded this duet with myself on Mandolin, and my good friend Allan Cook on Guitar.

I uploaded this piece some time ago as private, and shared with a few people whom I have come to be friends with here on SoundCloud, but have decided to release it publicly, at the urging of one such friend, Liz Dicker (Thank You Liz).

This is a special piece to me, as I wrote it when I was much younger, about 20 or so. In addition, my sister Kristina requested it for her wedding in place of traditional music.

It was also a defining moment, when Allan and I realized we had a special musical connection. I wrote the mandolin part, and when I showed him what I had written, he picked up his acoustic guitar, and like magic, he just knew what to play to perfectly accompany what I had written. This was not the only time this was evident, but it was the first time it was crystal clear to us both.

This recording is an excerpt from an extended improvised jam session we had with other friends, and for which he has the entire recording on his channel. It was recorded informally, and as a live performance, or perhaps better described as a group of musical friends having fun. We opened the recording with Allan and I playing this piece, and then went where the wind took us from there.

I hope you enjoy listening.

If you are interested in hearing the entire recording, it is at the linked track below.

Baroque Mandolin Guitar Duet

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

If We Could Turn Back Time

Following a recent study of musical chords,I focused on the Phrygian cord structure and its suitability for Eastern music styles.
Hence my first attempt at this unique musical style .
This is very different to my usual selections and compositions.

Eastern Flavour's

In day light
All we ever and always
See is blue

My one flight
Will be higher than either 
Lies or truth

Home! Home!

By day light
All hope ever believed
May fall through

See us through

Father, can you take it away?
Sister, can you kill it today?

It is warm relaxing lounge chill out atmosphere, fashion lounge videos, spa medicine, lounge cafe, jazz lounge, fashion hall, club, bar. This is a sexy and soulful lounge groove, bringing that lazy hot summer spa feel.

Missed the sound of my beautiful harpsichord and wanted to get back to my  symphonic meets  beats  phase  lately. As I put this together I am just reminiscent of the winter wonderland outside...

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..
