Your Eyes ~ 2020

A song for our times based on Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars :)

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandrindnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

The fine gentlemen at Mastering True Music (formerly FredTracks) sent this track -- and I was delighted to write and sing over it! They always send great, professional tracks made with real instruments. Such a pleasure to work with. And always a challenge to sing over a different style than my own!

Something To Believe    

Give me something to think about 
Give my lonely soul relief 
Just some words I can mull around 
Give me something to believe  

I want more than your company 
Give me something of your heart 
Like a blanket to comfort me 
Like a fire in my arms  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your soul 
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me something to think about 
Give me memories of love
Give me something to think about 
Give me all your tears and blood  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe

my fellow companions
we are of one eye seeing/feeling all ways/always
in the mind’s iris

if you wish to sail
approach the ocean
(with your heart open)
approach the ocean
with grace, take your shoes off

'Taking It Back' Featuring  IPG1 vocals

YouTube: https://youtu.be/ExT372wLyoE. This is a poem set to music. For relief from the "pandemic," I hiked in Eldorado Canyon, Colorado, hoping to see a Bald Eagle. Instead, perched up on a mountain peak was a crow. See the hiking path: https://youtu.be/9XYtnA9uAwo
POEM
VERSE1
Went to the mountains
To break the status quo.
For the reasons people go, to grow.
The eagles, the elk, the clean air.
Myself - to get to know.

VERSE2
Climbing up the ridge,
From the meadow below,
Arriving at the peak, rocky trail plateaus.
Stones loomed above me,
Fighting rain and snow.
Million years of winds that blow.

CHORUS1
Why do we go? Why do you ask?
To see such beauty that may not last.
Just like you, let me be free.
Let us have peace. Let me be me.
Agree?... See?.. This is key!

BRIDGE1

VERSE3
Something moved, casting shadows below.
What lives there?
What wildlife will show?
Expecting an eagle to spread its wings,
Then I hear a sound I know.

VERSE4
The call of an old black crow.
Not dressed for the occasion.
Not moved much by persuasion.
Wrong equation. Odd sensation.

CHORUS2
Crow looked down,
At the people on the ground,
In a way, as if to say, “Hey”
Just like you, let me be free.
Let me have peace. Let me be me.
Agree?... See?.. This is key!

BRIDGE2

VERSE5
Independent bird,
Follows his own tempo.
Doesn’t take orders well.
Like to keep it simple.

VERSE6
Clever bird. Often met with abrasion.
Perhaps you are a better symbol,
Of this nation.

VERSE7
If we want to make it for the full duration,
We better show more toleration.
No tomorrows. Too many sorrows.
Time, you just can’t borrow.

BRIDGE3

VERSE8
Climbing down the mountain,
That day I had to go,
To find out who I was,
And met the old crow.
Old black crow, what do ‘ya know?
Helped me today. A favor I owe.

CHORUS3
I’ll see you next time. When I climb.
When I go, on top of the rocks.
You’ll watch me below.
I know.

My Struggles

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.
