Release that negativity, And you'll get older before cometh the grey 😅 Haha Great track. Wonderful lyrics. Projecting that pitch perfect positive only you lead in with why you need to too. A very nice poem. Imagine the 'work' we'd get done if a humans first mission was peace of mind. Imagine the art humans will create when we all find peace of mind 🌎🙂

Here is another wonderful song from You! Soo lovely vocals my friends!

Bemerkenswert was ihr mit Suno  für eine ergreifendes Lied gezaubert habt, hätte nie gedacht, das so was möglich ist aber die Stimmen haben den typischen Suno-Chorus wenn ihr das noch hinbekommt seit ihr nicht mehr aufzuhalten ganz toll!!!

Song by Tony Harell recorded at Buck's Place studio.

Lyrics:

Another day, I'm running fast
Chasing shadows that don't last
Important now, or so it seems
But will it matter in my dreams?

Time slips away, like sand through my hands
Stress builds up, as life's clock demands
But in this race, what do I gain?
When all I feel is this strain

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

Deadlines loom, notifications chime
I'm a slave to the present time
But years from now, will I recall
These urgent tasks, so pressing, so small

Breathing deep, I start to see
The bigger picture of who I could be
If I let go of the daily grind
And focus on peace of mind

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

What if we paused, took time to reflect
On the path we're on, the life we select
Would we choose differently, rearrange
Our priorities, make a change?

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

So let's listen close, to that gentle refrain
And find what truly eases the pain
(Eases the pain)
In life's grand story, not just today
What will matter, when we're old and grey?

This track is a re-recording of a 35 year old song of mine. Had a lot of white noise back then, so I tried to protect all your precious ears from damage by giving it another try with today's technical equipment. Only my skills didn't improve in the meantime, so I apologize to my younger version of me if I f..... up... ;-)

Guitar still my 35 year old Valley Arts in Gun-Metal Blue.

This song began as one of Joe's catchy, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote on his acoustic guitar, and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani, who began the thought process of a song about becoming a musician.
   Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group. 
  Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song. 
  It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though. 
  Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
  This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino (and Michele Ansani):

 When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.

And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe and beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people

Here’s another old favorite song of mine, written by Baker Knight in the 50’s and recorded by many folks before and after Elvis’ most famous version, released in 1970. Once again, this is one of my stripped down recordings taken from an i-phone voice memo and transplanted to GarageBand for this final mix I threw together in homage to The King. Interestingly, Baker apparently originally wrote this as a gospel song, about the true King, but I think by now we all just read it as a simple and emotive love song, one of many done so masterfully by Elvis. I hope some folks will enjoy this quick take on it.
🥳This goes out as a special happy birthday wish to my dear friend and partner in all things musical, Nat Daniels. Thanks for all your support and inspiration.🤠

The Wonder of You

The Wonder of You (Elvis cover)

Flint in the feed, now the wires are clean
Blood's just a rumor in the mezzanine
Click-click hymn in a bang-bang dream
The leveller comes without a name

He’s all safety off and Sunday best
Chalk lines tangled in a bulletproof vest
Lipstick smear on a broadcast test
No prayers, just pre-set regrets

Leveller, leveller — draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He sweeps the malls, he sighs through screens
Prints his gospel in AR beams
You won’t feel the body, just the seams
Unravel slow in machine-gun dreams

You thought you’d see him coming —
But he’s post-time, pre-cry, un-running
The kind of truth you don’t detect
Until your angles disconnect

He’s the prayer without the voice
The war declared without a choice
A blur between the fall and fact
A quiet click where worlds contract

And if you breathe, and if you shake
And if you reach — it’s still too late
Because he’s not here to mend or end —
He takes what no one can defend

Leveller, leveller — draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

Leveller, leveller — draw the line
He don’t preach, he just aligns
Bang-bang reason, bang-bang grace
Same old gods in a pad-lock case

He levels love, he levels luck
Leaves a silence sharp as rust
And when they ask you where he stood...
You’ll say "where anyone could."

Leveller

Hello, I'm Edeltraud Trncik, a songwriter who's been weaving melodies and lyrics for a long time. Music has been my faithful companion throughout this journey, inspiring me to create a diverse collection of songs that reflect my personal experiences and the world around me.

My passion lies in crafting heartfelt ballads. I pour my emotions and stories into each composition, striving to create authentic connections through my music. However, I always make sure to leave room for intuition and personal expression in my songwriting process.

I've been making music as a hobby alongside my husband. This partnership has been a source of joy and creativity, allowing us to grow together both personally and artistically. The synergy we've developed over the years shines through in every song we create.
Until now, I've primarily written songs for my own enjoyment and expression.
My songwriting draws inspiration from my own life experiences and current events that touch me. I believe that music has the power to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. 
Through my songs, I invite listeners to see the world through my eyes - a world filled with melodies that speak to the heart and soul
