I've got this very special friend and she's having a hard time right now with her mother going through chemo and her grandmother probably dying in the nearby future.....so, I just wanted to write a song of comfort.
Another song with Vili Ross. I wrote this one today......this morning and today was the first time I worked with Vili....and the two of us just get along, as persons and musically.
Why write a lovesong?
I could tell you my truth in three chords and some words
But you’d be hurt and think of me wrong
Now I’m done with explaining, the bruises, the pain and
The scars are all down in this song
Yeah I know I’m the bad guy…
@Ceili Moss Hey, dank je. Deze heeft me denk ik ook wel het meeste tijd gekost. Elk woord, elke lettergreep moest kloppen. Ik ben nog bezig om met een andere (vrouwelijke) singer/songwriter iets op te zetten en mocht ik die kant uit komen dan zal ik je zeker iets laten weten. Ik heb ook erg genoten van jouw/jullie muziek!!! Vooral La vie sans toi is geweldig.

Deze is mijn favoriet maar ik vond alle nummers bijzonder goed. Je stem is zo vol emotie ik voel een beetje als een voyeur... Als je planne hebt om te touren kan ik je enkele adressen in België aanraden.
your song flows in beauty, with personal, touching tones, i feel like an outsider listening in to a very personal conversation, and then i realize it really applies to us all at one time or another,, perhaps that's the the magic of a beautiful piece of music like yours,, well done Richard
As she fiddles with the folds in her skirt
Her stare is off to unknown places out there
While her gaze rests at the stain on her shirt
Like a child, so oblivious, so unaware
Her green eyes, her black hair, her pale skin, her dark stare
Have wandered…

Here I stand before you, tell me what you want from me
I’ve done all that I could but I don’t think I can make you see
The crimes that you accuse me of are just a woman’s lie
She imagined that I loved her while my only crime was kissing…
Wonderful folk vocal - tender story-telling! I love your guitar arrangements - there's a real minimalism that I find very compelling. It's like every note, every phrase has its place and is absolutely necessary. Wonderful stuff.
I am blind but I read you like I´m reading braille
I´m half drunk but what is rushing through my veins
Isn´t caffeine or alcohol though the kick feels much the same
Blind, half drunk I stumble but I’ll get up and try again
I must have said a…
Thanks for the comments. Really appreciate it....I know I should listen to others more often but I can't always find the time for it (yes, I feel guilty).
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…
New Computer - Just testing to see if everything works
Lyrics:
One kiss leads to another
Down the road we go
In each other’s arms
Love struck, drive me crazy
Hoping that you recognize
My charms
One kiss leads to love
One kiss…

Come Tomorrow
-
I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…
Listened to Piano moment 7 and 6. Loved them, I instantly thought (when I listened to 7) can I make lyrics for it, and turn it into a song.....can't help it, that's the way my brains work I guess. Thanks for your comment on Hey Amelia (really appreciate it).
This is a new song that was written and performed with my friend Tim de Graauw. One evening we sat down for about 2 hours, hashed out ideas, got the creative juices flowin, played some G tar aaand out of that came this song.
This is just a rough…
Hey great song and great voice! I'll probably be in Vancouver this summer. Maybe there's a chance I can see you perform there! And thanks for your comment on my song 'Hey Amelia'. Off to listen to your other songs.

Secondhand Stray
tboudreau
music by Cmariano / Tboudreau
i watch ya walking these streets, a few feet off the ground
i hear ya talking so sweet, never making a sound
i see ya looking so cute your such a secondhand stray
from your bracelets…
Just a little piano ballad - another old composition. The strings have not been mixed/edited too well, sorry for that. I'll fix it some day.
It was bedtime and I suddenly felt like playing something on my keyboard. That's how this song came…
This new one was written by Willie and features him on guitar and vocals plus once again we are pleased to have Rinyville supply harmony vocals. We welcome your feedback as usual.
Comments on rinyville's stuff
Great song-writing. Love your voice!
That's one beautiful song you got there. Give your friend my sympathy
Great story well performed
Agree with Willie - lovely track! Great vox.

Nice country song, great lyrics
this is special song, thanks for sharing
your song flows in beauty, with personal, touching tones, i feel like an outsider listening in to a very personal conversation, and then i realize it really applies to us all at one time or another,, perhaps that's the the magic of a beautiful piece of music like yours,, well done Richard
This one is a gem too. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen
Wonderful! The lo-fi mix adds a very nice authentic touch to it, and the vocal performance is awesome.
This is beautiful thank you
I can already tell the melody of 'I've been sleeping too long, please wake me up tonight' is going to stick with me...wonderful hook!
like it!
...green eyes,black hair,pale skin, dark stare....lovely
Lovely song rinyville!
"Tried to talk but all I did was sigh..." Wow. :)
Wonderful folk vocal - tender story-telling! I love your guitar arrangements - there's a real minimalism that I find very compelling. It's like every note, every phrase has its place and is absolutely necessary. Wonderful stuff.
All the best songs come that way, yes? Soulful stuff - another song freed by an unsuspecting agent. :)
Three chords only you say? Just goes to show, it's not obvious when the song is bittersweet and so beautifully delivered.

Thanks for the comments. Really appreciate it....I know I should listen to others more often but I can't always find the time for it (yes, I feel guilty).
This one got to me right away. Wow, great song!
Definitely a perfect car song, song for a roadtrip!! Love it!
Great song, love the harmonies and there's some magic in this one (and thank you for your comment on my song too).
Great song....couldn't sit still when I was listening to it, if I were a good dancer I would dance to it ;)
When I read the title, I had to listen to it. Great song!
Reminds me of something in between Screamin'Jay Hawkins and Tom Waits. Love it!

No, I don't think the vocal is too loud. Great song. Loved the whispering part too!
And this one is really great!! I'm now in the mood to listen to 'Les Negresses Vertes' again. Thanks for this song!
Love this one!! And love the title as well!

Love the guitars on this one! Great song and great harmonies!

Love this one. This is the second time I've listened to it. It's a great song!
You've got some great songs here (I just think about the Clash when I listen to Secondhand Stray). Love this one!
Love this one. Listen to more of your songs as soon as I get rid of my nasty cold..but this is beautiful.
Love Townes Van Zandt. And this version sounds great. Thanks for the compliment!
Hey found you guys in here!! Trying to figure out how the site works now.
