Way to smash it all together. Don't take that the wrong way. That's the only word I could think of right now. You have a much better grasp of music than me.
Hoorrrrray! My wish came true, we did a version of this instrumental with real instruments!
And the band was:
Guitars: Frank Zax
Drums: Mark Cole
Bass: Andy Gupta
Music & Production: Steffen Offermann
Enjoy!
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 was one of my first compositions ever (I started writing songs in 2004/2005). I don't have the original audio seps any more, just this MP3 file, so I cannot do a decent remix. And I'm too lazy to re-do it all from scratch. :)

I love this! Sounds like Bowie doing the vox! A beautiful, mysterious track that reminds me a bit of the songs from 'Cabaret'. It's completely wonderful.

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
Great stuff, Andy! I don't remember how the old mix sounded (but I have it on some CD, so I'll probably compare it later) - but I do remember that I loved it. This new one is great too, so you definitely did not screw it. :)
A GOOD CRY
Rick Babb/JMT
Why don't you cry
I know you need to
A tear is meant to ease your pain
A flood could come
And it would wash you
So, don't you try and hold it back
A good cry can't be bad
Why don't you cry
Come her, I'll…
THE LAST TIME I SAW GRAND PA
The last time I saw grand pa was sixty years agp
Palmdale, California and I was four years old
He was stooped and withered
A worn-out little man. I remember him the best I can
I swear I saw my grand pa in…
Riny, that's a fabulous song. I wish I could understand more - maybe if you post the lyrics, then I can read long (I don't speak Dutch, but I live at the Dutch border, so your language is at least not completely unfamiliar to my ears and eyes).

This was something I wrote when my Son Ethan was here, but never got round to recording it.....
Thought I would give it a try today...
Was gonna be a poem, but found it suited music.
Hope you like it.

First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

Every time I think you won't be able to top what you've already done you prove that you actually can. I love the sound of this song - needless to mention your voice and songwriting.
Good to hear something new from you, Andy! Keep them coming!

Steffen

Cold steel bites my ankles and I am on my way home

Tho I may be bold/I don't have a hand to hold

I can say with a clean consience that I don't watch any soaps - because I never watch tv. :)
I don't know "House", but I'm sure my mother would love it. :)
Nice song, James! About time to listen to some of your recently posted songs. If only there were more hours in a day ...
Regards,

Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes

Comments on stoman's stuff
Really, really nice
Way to smash it all together. Don't take that the wrong way. That's the only word I could think of right now. You have a much better grasp of music than me.
So lovely, I hope someone or sometwo take you up on it!
This is a great piece. When i find time i will try some guitar with it :D
a nice love song with some fun effects thrown in. I lot of character to this gives it a unique sound and personal touch. Great work by all involved.
It is a great mix on such fine song. Great vocal performance.
I am a fan of oriental sounding music, but the flute is so gorgeous in there. Love your melody. Delicious!
Fantastic mix.
Lovely stuff - warming.
thanks for the mix Steffen, great work mate!
And the ending is extra super double freakin' awesome! Great, cute tune.
Fantastic. Great lyrics. Strangely Beatlesque.
pretty - very nice song
b-o-w-i-e! (ish)...huge fan here
wow...great recording...love that lead guitar track...ande vocals...its all there
This is a rough demo?! Sounds perfect to me...!
I love this! Sounds like Bowie doing the vox! A beautiful, mysterious track that reminds me a bit of the songs from 'Cabaret'. It's completely wonderful.
Another touch of class and another critic"."................mmmm.........mmmmmm.......no I have got one

Oh the critic........it's too bloody good......

Great stuff, Andy! I don't remember how the old mix sounded (but I have it on some CD, so I'll probably compare it later) - but I do remember that I loved it. This new one is great too, so you definitely did not screw it. :)
I love the 60's vibe of this song. This could be an undiscovered song of The Beatles or The Kinks ... or even The Who. Regards, Steffen
Simple and beautiful. Simply beautiful. :) Regards, Steffen
Wonderful and melancholic - and I think everybody can relate to this superb lyric. Regards, Steffen
Riny, that's a fabulous song. I wish I could understand more - maybe if you post the lyrics, then I can read long (I don't speak Dutch, but I live at the Dutch border, so your language is at least not completely unfamiliar to my ears and eyes). Regards, Steffen
Wow, I hadn't heard this before. Great folk tune, perfect delivery. Regards, Steffen

Not quite what I had expected from the title. This song sounds like a Native American hymn. Great vocal arrangement!
And again you sound like Harry Chapin. And your songs are no less versatile. You are very prolific. Regards, Steffen
I can say with a clean consience that I don't watch any soaps - because I never watch tv. :) I don't know "House", but I'm sure my mother would love it. :) Nice song, James! About time to listen to some of your recently posted songs. If only there were more hours in a day ... Regards, Steffen
Beautiful!
James, thanks to you too! :)
Thanks, Bethan and Terry! I think I'll have to give the strings section a little more attention mixing-wise. Expect an update in a couple of days! :)
Great listen. I love that 60s sound and style.
I just downloaded all the tracks you posted here. Great folk music - thanks for sharing! Regards, Steffen
Wow, this is even better than the one I listened to before. And that one was already close to perfect.
What wonderful, authentic song and performance! Great listen.
... TOUCH of course, not TOUGH. ;)
What I said before holds for this one too. Great retro feel with even a slight psychedelic tough at one or two spots. Lovely work! Regards, Steffen
You know your craft for sure. Really fun listening to - I love the retro vibe of your songs. Regards, Steffen
