The sun beats down on the African plain
Where the long rains are late again
Waterholes are cracked and dry
And there’s not a raincloud in the sky
A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as…
This should get their feet tapping!
My lyrics, ai demo
Lyrics:
I’m happy as a penguin on an iceberg
Just sittin' watching people play
Then you come walking down the beach
And all my cool is blown away
There’s an umbrella in my pina…
This is a rewrite of a song I wrote 4 years ago called "They Took Out The Bend"
This version performed by Amigos Imaginarios (AI)
Lyrics:
Ghost Town
Through the tavern’s windows the sunlight streams
Onto empty bottles and broken dreams…
My lyrics turned into a song by Amigos Imaginarios, my ai band.
Echoes Of A Past:
In this place where the river shimmers
Underneath a harvest moon
I once knew a girl with eyes that sparkle
A smile that could make flowers bloom.

I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
this song is about 8yrs old , i have done a video which is on youtube , just type in the title and tonycee , if you would like to , all brass / strings played on keyboard , vocals backing vocals , rythm / lead / bass guitar / played by myself…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
For some reason this one demanded to be written...
So here's to all of us that have been in this situation a time or two! Hugs and love to us all!!!
Feel Just Like A Loner
Verse 1
We sit across the table
We share the same old food…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…

Song number 2

I wrote this one a couple of hours ago.
I set up for recording, and busted a string on the Martin... GAH!!!
I tried a big ole dreadnought thing…
A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it!
Sometimes You Don't
Verse 1
Sometimes in the early morning hours
As the sun lights up the sky
I look back and think…
