Such a beautiful track. You've carefully crafted this, with that gorgeous guitar, those longing pads and the gentle melodies. Huge congratulations.

Beautiful and thoughtful. Such a comforting conversation

enjoying your keys in a misty sunrise here in Tallahassee.

Strange how things sometimes come together .....picked up my Taylor acoustic guitar this evening (which I hadn't played for a while) and this DADGAD instrumental just happened to click into shape... so I decided to record it straight away. The folk bluesy feel of this takes me back to my youth when I first listened to my inspiration to learn the guitar ... the late great Bert Jansch.... It would be nice to think he would enjoy listening to this and I hope you like it too!

DO YOU REALLY KNOW 
HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO 
LOVE YOU?
 A BROTHER IN LAW CAN BE A BROTHER TOO YOU KNOW 
YOUR STICKING CATS FACES ALL OVER THE PLACES
 IS ONE REASON MORE TO LOVE YOU 
BUT
 LET’S GET SERIOUS BOY DELIRIOUS  YOU ARE LIKE
 DRESSED UP AS A LORD CHANGING THE OIL OF YOUR CAR 
OR SPEEDING DOWN A SLOPE THAT EVEN NOT THE POPE 
ON HIS HOLY SKIS  WOULD COPE WITH 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH US WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU 
WHY DO WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH?

DO WE REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU? 
WANNA HAVE A BEER? KANSAS CITY HERE I COME 
ME NO ENGINEER  BUT WE STILL COULD CHEER AND STRUM 
I’D LIKE TO SHAKE THE PAW OF VIRGINIA WOOF 
AND VISIT YOU FOR A GOOF 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH THEY REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH I REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

DO YOU REALLY KNOW? (Lyrics) song for David

Between floors no prizes
For those who dither
This time that time
No time all time
For those who dither
Everlasting life
Between floors
Nowhere and everywhere
Between floors
Hold the leaver
Stop the clock
Pause

Between Floors

Lyrics:
Joey held the bottle upside down
Squeezed it and the smile turned to frown

It was the ketchup precum! 
Once a delicacy grilled under the sun
and now a wet hot dog between a soggy bun

Oh yeah ketchup pre cum
That's what you get when you don't shake before you squeeze

I didn't really fancy any discolored water with my meal tonight
I was really looking forward to those tater tots, Before I took a bite
A magnificent meal that was shattered by one squirt
A puddle that stares me in the face from the plate 
Left me in a world of hurt

Ketchup yeah!
Precum No!

My Burgers!
My fries!
One squirt could meet the demise of the food that I eat

You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
The ketchup precum No no no!
You don't want it slaughtering your plate
It's a liquid that everyone hates
Don't you know that no one wants to deal with the dreaded ketchup precum

The Mysterious Decibel - Ketchup Precum

There are times in our life when we  reflect through our thoughts.
Our Souls are the platforms that harbour these thoughts, emotions and desires.
I recently experienced these moments, which inspired this track.
I hope this music will take you through the same journey.

our Souls in Solitude

Purple Microdot---Released 11/13/22
To me the best part is art —-so draw your own conclusions
A Kaleidoscope filled with hope ——-not illusions
Color in each track ————-just to keep you grooving
Glitter fills the Road—-street rhythms keep you moving

If you don’t know —-here you go 
but keep it on the down low 
my minds corrupt ——but whose mind is not
acid drop—— old-school hip-hop 
baseline—-roof top ——gonna rip —this track up
Full-blown goosebumps —when I hear a beat drop
from the bottom to the top —desire goes nonstop 
going without knowing —but it has to be done 
Raw yet polish —-and created for fun
 
Chorus
Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when my stars align——You know I’mer get mine
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire 
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
A suit of Bob-wire

Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—call it —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya
And you know that I’m truly a  part of you——so That suit is gonna fit ya

----------Chorus-------

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow 
Are Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
a God’s made —-to love it all——-that—— purple microdot


This that aftershock—-Tha aftershock—-Tha aftershock
From the acid drop ———Mine corrupt 
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop 
bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot 
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts ——kilowatts ——kilowatts
of purple microdot 
hip-hop Woodstock ——hip-hop Woodstock ——-hip-hop Woodstock

Purple Microdot

Imagine rising up 400 metres through the ocean to take a breath every 5-10 minutes (or longer if having a relaxing day).... can't quite get my head round this, but this is the regular life of the humpback whale.
Lungs the size of a small car....they'd be blowing a horn all day...no circular breathing required!!

Coming Up For Air

Energetic – That's how I Feel
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light!

Move Yourself Against the Wind
But Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long
But you Don't Know what to Say!

Move Yourself Into that Space
Where Generosity Never Ends
Like a Fountain Lifts your Face
Where the Sorrow starts to Bend!

Don't Ever Ask
Why am I Here
You're Vital to Us
When Our Path's Unclear                         x2
I Need Your Love, Spirit, and Fire!
Spread Astral Wings
My Pen You Inspire!

Move Yourself Against the Wind – but Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long, but You Don't Know what to say

Energetic – That's how I Feel !
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light !!!

If you get a chance to go to a truly dark sky sight and watch the Milky Way rise, do so. It is magnificient.

But what if it really was a slow, lazy river you could drift along in, trailing your hand into the sparkling star-water?

Milky Way

Synth-fueled IDM, down-tempo, syncopation. An extramundane being is attempting to arrive...

Becoming - DEMO

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.
