This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…
Thanks everybody for your comments on this and other songs of mine! It's good to know that there are a couple of folks out there who like some of my songs. :)
Feel free to criticize though! We all cannot get better without honest, constructive criticism.

This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by "press gangs" - often literally torn away from…

Here is another old one. Not mixed as good as I think I could do it now, but it could be much worse. ;)

Like "Wish" this song was an attempt by me to put a free-form poem by Grant…
Have you made an effort to be in touch with the film makers in your part of the world? Your state probably has a film comission. If you haven't already, I suggest you do and then begin to find about what is in the works in your state and offer to submit music to the college and independent film makers.
I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).
Anybody interested in helping me?
This is the new version!

Just a little rock song.
Steffen, You have a really great bunch of musical friends. Are these people you have in your real world or do write with people from all over? What is your process? Do you swap .wav files?

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. :)

When I composed this little instrumental song I did not use very good sounds for it, and I did not yet know (or bother) how to edit the midi sounds to make them sound better.
This is just a quick remix using the same old sounds. I don't think…

This is the 2012 remix.
This song was based on a free-form lyric by Grant D. McLeman from Scotland. Quite a challenge ... :)
"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
Bedtime here, so I have to stop listening to all the great music at this site for now. But I'll be back. And I have all your music on my mp3 player anyway. :)
Great as usual!
It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.
Over the weekend Reg had gone back to his home town where he come from and met up with a few of his friends from whey back when. He found that he seemed like stranger. He was sitting telling Elvis about his weekend. Elvis felt sorry for Reg because…
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…
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…
Thanks to everybody for listening and commenting! :)
@charmedquark: No, this is not a real piano. It is TheGrand3 by Steinberg - my favorite piano VST. :)

To me this sounds like a soundtrack for a film scene where it's midnight in a warm summer, and a loneseome guy with a guitar sits at the harbour picking this tune.
I could also imagine him playing harp with the guitars coming from off-stage.
Very nice. :)

Steffen
You must be the long lost brother of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan. ;)
Pretty song with a lovely guitar accompaniment. Would love to see the lyrics posted.

The circus clown turns his pedestal
Into a royal throne
wraps his words in fear and anger
tells us what we’ve always known
while the ringmaster takes the sideline
and steps down from the stage
he knows his days are numbered
when cheers turn…
They were all in the cellar and Louis heard this great tune by the Farfetched Tangmo Band and had to recite this story he had heard of Jack and Jill... so here it is.............
What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...
Amy Pond
Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…
When I was out for a walk recently I had your music on my mp3 player. And when I returned back home I almost felt like going for another round - to hear more of it! :)
Great song, as usual.

Love this ..beautiful....excellent lyrics...love it
Another good one Steffen! Love the arrangement and the lyrics. The most Beatles sounding song I have heard of yours.
Thanks everybody for your comments on this and other songs of mine! It's good to know that there are a couple of folks out there who like some of my songs. :) Feel free to criticize though! We all cannot get better without honest, constructive criticism. Regards, Steffen
Hello, I just signed up today, and wanted to drop in and say hello to you.... This is a nice collab that I've enjoyed since I first heard it... LG
love it agree with James........perfect as it is
I can't imagine what your standards are topping out at if you apologize for this mix. This is beautiful.
oooo!
Have you made an effort to be in touch with the film makers in your part of the world? Your state probably has a film comission. If you haven't already, I suggest you do and then begin to find about what is in the works in your state and offer to submit music to the college and independent film makers.
If I can figure out how to download this track I will add rhythm guitars.
Steffen, You have a really great bunch of musical friends. Are these people you have in your real world or do write with people from all over? What is your process? Do you swap .wav files?
Kicks ass. Love it. Wish I could do stuff like this. Sooooo poppy!
Beautiful! If this was one of your first you certainly got off to a wonderful start!
Love the guitars on this track!
Love the taste of Paris here in the summer. Especially in August when it's pretty empty. A most romantically pretty track.
beautiful tune........wonderful playing.....
incredible.
A cello with this would be so nice...or a whole bed of strings to undergird that melody.
Very nice. So clear and clean. Nice voice too. I see you collaborate with other musicians. Feel free to ask me to do background vocals.
Awesome. This reminds me of something from the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. (I really dig that soundtrack.)
Brina really has a great voice. Very well done once again, my friend!

Another good one.
Nice piano interpretation of this all-time classic. Regards, Steffen

Nice playing. Would sound great with vocals IMO. Regards, Steffen
I look forward to you posting more songs. Thanks for sharing some great music!
Another great one!
Excellent lyrics and songwriting! This is a complete story, both lyrically and musically. Love it. Great vocal performance too.
Right up my alley! The kick is a bit too heavy, but the rest is awesome. Superb vocals! Regards, Steffen
Very nice cover. The original is one of my favorite oldies. Regards, Steffen
Wow, Louis Armstrong meets Tom Waits ... :D Nice music and GREAT vocals. Doesn't that hurt? ;) Regards, Steffen
Another foot-tapper. And as professionally produced as all your other songs. Regards, Steffen

I can't understand why some people don't like this kind of pop-reggae (or is it reggae-pop?). Sounds very nice!
