Minor key you use is perfect for the lyrics Dave.  Very well done.

Love this , played Close Encounters ( the old Boiler Makers ) many moons ago !

Great video and song, Dave and Glen...!!!

StateOfGrace

I went down  to the corner market
To talk to the local prophet
He said $   12.50 please will that be cash or charge

Went home to my one room kingdom
To drink of the liquid wisdom
And let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

Called in to the Tex Mex Shamen 
He said yea man keep on rocking
So I practice my licks till I feel in my finger tips

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me back
To a State of Grace

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Solo¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

So I search out the online gurus
To yourself they said to be true
The more you know the more that you will grow
And so it goes

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace
To a better place
To a State of Grace

I'm Here Alone

w17d0

feels wonderful from here
and it seems worth mentioning
thru the early morning chill
see the world awakening

and so it is
and so it goes

see the luminescent leaves
dancin' with the breeze
the critters start to seek
a way to go

the butterflies that float
together carelessly
bring beauty to the day
already beautiful

A Hundred Years From Now 
by Caddigan, Brennan and Story (1914)

Every one today is going crazy,
Everyone today is going mad
Each one is trying to do something decidedly new
Just to put the rest in bad
Everyday they change the style of dancing
Everyday they change the style of dress
Oh, Boys what is it coming to?
That's a problem we will have to guess

I wonder what kind of life they'll lead 
A hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
A hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
That's turning the locks of gold to grey
We're living a life of constant alteration

I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
A hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
A hundred years from now?
There's no solution
It's all evolution
I wonder, and wonder, and wonder
How much the girls are going to wear
A hundred years from now?

Picture this town that once was just a pasture
Picture the girls who roam'd it years ago
They were the wonderful kind
You know the kind I've in mind
The sort of girl the world calls slow
Think of a girl today out in a meadow
Raking the hay a la decolletée?
No chance not in a thousand years
The girls today are all for cabaret

I wonder what kind of life they'll lead 
A hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
A hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
That's turning the locks of gold to grey
We're living a life of constant alteration

I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
A hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
A hundred years from now?
There's no solution
It's all evolution
I wonder, and wonder, and wonder
How much the girls are going to wear
A hundred years from now?

'Another False Flag' is a Fusion track. With the world currently in a state of chaos, the old saying of: 'Think the best, but prepare for the worst' came to mind. So this is me thinking the best and hopefully we can all stay on that track, knowing that 'Another False Flag' could happen at any moment and being prepared for it.

Another False Flag

New song from David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Glen sent me a new poem he had written and asked me to add music to it.

I added instrumentation and melody/vocals and produced the song.

Hope you like what you're hearing and many thanks for listening.

Watch the video Glen created for this song:

Verse 1

This raging river flows
Like a dream that no one knows
I look down the path I chose
And watch where the story goes

Verse 2

I reap the seeds I've sewn
The sun flower climbs and grows
Consumes the highs and lows
Then it leaves a single rose

Chorus 1

The canyons grand in my eyes
Over head the eagle flies
A wilderness that reaches far and wide
Embraced I see our last goodbye

Verse 3

I recall the white beach sand
Now I live on barren land
So afraid the past will stand
A single rose in one hand

Verse 4

Down below the people chase 
All the things they can't erase
It leaves such a bitter taste
What we had I cannot face

Chorus 2

Canyons grand in my eyes
Over head the eagle flies
Forests reach out for the sky
The single rose begins to die

Outro

The Canyons grand in my eyes
The eagles born to Fly
The Canyons grand in my eyes 
Over head the eagle flies

Canyons Grand In My Eyes (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

This is alternative rock song. It has originality and also drama. Mood of this track is sadness.

Cosmic Danse – The Planetary Shuffle
February 2023
Duration: 3:00
Listen to the Cosmic Danse Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/comic-danse
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the planetary panning/gliss/rotation tool that was used to compose this piece.

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.  The four inner system planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars—are terrestrial planets, being composed primarily of rock and metal. The four giant planets of the outer system are substantially larger and more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the next two, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of volatile substances.  The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, though all except Mercury are very nearly circular. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane, called the ecliptic and defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit.  The orbits of the planets, based on Earth's 1 year orbit, are as follows: Mercury .24 years, Venus .61, Earth 1.00, Mars 1.88, Jupiter 11.86, Saturn 29.46, Uranus 84.01, Neptune 164.80, Pluto 248.80.  They all orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise looking down from above the Sun’s north pole; all but Venus, Uranus and Pluto also rotate in that same sense.

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
