A lovely listen. A beautiful composition. Like the mix of instruments and transitions.

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
When I wrote this duet, I had Amanda Sanderson's distinctively beautiful voice in mind. The song itself is an outgrowth or continuation of a poetry collection I published a few years ago, "The Book of Arabella."
Both the song and the poems are about a mysterious, otherworldly woman, Arabella, who feels trapped in a marriage, trapped in fact in her human body.
Here's a link to that poetry collection for the curious:

(...and yes, that is actually our cat in the photo on the big clock above the piano)
Instruments used:
All three guitar tracks played on my Gretsch 5622T
plus Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass
Angel chorus sung by angels...well, actually Alchemy synth

Recorded in Logic Pro using hardware tube preamps and compressors.

***Cat on a Clock***
(Words & music by Timothy Walsh)
Verse 1 (Him)
You come softly down the stairs into my waiting arms.
Hand you coffee, touch your hair…it seems that you’re not there.
I don’t say it but I know, on this special day,
your body’s here with me, but you’re a million miles away.
I don’t say it—I don’t want to tell no one—
You’re going nowhere but you’re always on the run.

Verse 2 (Arabella)
Morning comes, I stretch in bed, see the sun come through the blinds.
Hear you in the kitchen there, smell the coffee so divine.
I rub my eyes, decide if I can slide into this day,
or maybe spread my wings and softly fly away.
I don’t know why I’m so restless in this world.
It’s like I’m from some country where I can’t return.

CHORUS:
You’re like a cat upon a clock sleeping in the sun,
whiling away your time on earth until our day is done.
Just like a cat upon a clock dreaming through the day
while the world outside goes on and softly spins away.

Verse 3 (Him)
Twilight comes and I see you in the garden where
the cedars and the pines are your sisters in the sky.
You walk out among the herbs, barefoot on the bricks,
smell the chervil and the thyme that never ask you why.
You’re so lost to me I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’m so in love with every single thing you do.

Verse 4 (Arabella)
Some days I wish that I could go flying through the sky—
spread my wings just like a crow and take off with a sigh.
Somewhere beyond the moon, I think I’ll find my home,
far away from this earth and this house of flesh and bone.
I’m not angry, I just don’t know how to say
I’m a creature not like you in any way.

CHORUS (sung twice)

Vodka and Caviar

I once flew across America
Just holding a balloon
Discovered a buried treasure chest
Full of gold doubloon 
I walked into a hurricane
And found myself back home
On a wild white stallion
Galloping through foam

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
Of vodka and caviar

I sold my soul to a friendly gecko
Who left it on the bar
I ate a bag of sunshine
That exploded in my car
I flew with the Egyptian gods
And travelled to the stars
And I dressed up like a carnival king
With glitter in glass jars

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar

Some days
Are better than others
Some nights I
Don’t bother…

It’s not the truth
Sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train

The walled-up dust on a jester’s laugh
For a cask of sherry wine
The smell of sugar cane in the heat
And a woman’s gaze divine
Float around my spinning head
A trail of petalled steps I said
Take me from the tower and sing
My songs around my bed
(Is he dead?)

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar
Vodka and caviar
On vodka and caviar

Vodka And Caviar

Taken from the forthcoming album "SCENARIO BIZARRE"
Lyrics :-
And I can shout about it 
From the highest mountain top
And I could write about it 
With a headline just to shock

Would you listen
Would you take on board
My opinion
I am not so sure 

Wherever I follow
Wherever I go
It is in the heart for me 
Way down deep in my soul
If you choose to follow
Or if you choose to go 
Remember that authentic is always best
You can feel that down to the bone

Here's a tale of love, hate, and yoga meditation.

Love Or Hate?

Words and music by Constricted Freedom
Cover art by Mar Ambroj

Welcome to planet earth
one of the best shows in the universe
excuse the mess
we'll clean it up...

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
I want to see

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...
living free 

Stay calm
relax
everything is' gonna be alright
staying true
to myself
I won't do the things that most expect

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate

Give me something to look forward

Every night
there I lay awake
thinking of the things that could be

Every day
dreaming of the things
that we could have

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better...

Living free
in every corner of my mind
there is no place
I can't go
 
I go
to that place 
that no one can disturb
I see
no reason
not to go again
every time I want

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can do this if we want
getting strong
every day is new
we can follow this path
until the end of time

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Lose that hate

Truth will
in the end
prevail over all delusion's wake
why not
take control
we don't need to play the fool no more

Gaining force
in the right direction
we can change the world if we want

Give me love
NOT that hate
Feel the love
Feel the love

Living free
enjoying every breath
things could be better

Living free
I look inside my heart
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love or hate?
to see what's there
love...

This track with a double title : "Uygurs - Total Darkness" takes us to the depths of the dark side and the suffering to get in, as well as to get out of it ... 
It's easier to slide towards the dark side, than to advance towards the light which always requires more effort :-) Today it's THEM, tomorrow it might be YOU! 
There are some doors you should never cross.
No assistance to people in danger! If you don't say a word, consent!
Closing your eyes and not remembering past mistakes is never good, but know that those who persecute, kill, rape, lock up, sterilize, gass, etc....
They will one day find the strength of democracies that will wake up and put a stop, once again, to barbarians, whoever they are.

Ce morceau au double titre : "Uygurs - Total Darkness" nous emmène au plus profond du côté obscur et de la souffrance pour y entrer, comme pour en sortir ...
Il est plus facile de glisser vers le côté obscur, que d'avancer vers la lumière qui demande toujours plus d'efforts :-) Aujourd'hui c'est eux, demain ce sera peut-être vous !
Il y a des portes qu'il ne faut jamais franchir.
Aucune assistance aux personnes en danger ! Si vous ne dites pas un mot, consentez !
Fermer les yeux et ne pas se souvenir des erreurs passées n'est jamais bon, mais sachez que ceux qui persécutent, tuent, violent, enferment, stérilisent, gazent, etc...
Ils trouveront un jour la force des démocraties qui se réveilleront et mettront un terme, une fois de plus, aux barbares, quels qu'ils soient.

Beyond Myself

I am retired and have taken up music again (after 60 years since I last played the classical piano)for my pleasure. It is great to redo the old classics with the modern sounds and electronic instruments of today. I  
   Also Like making my own instrumental tracks with my 
Presonus studio 4 software, a size midi keyboard and the Kross workstation Keyboard.
I am so grateful for the support, encouragement and feedback from the  sound cloud community.
What an awesome experience and way to bring music to the world together with likeminded friends-thank you all.
