A little bit of pop with a strong 80s touch (I hope).

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
MAN THAT I AM - Key Dm

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

HOUSE Key - D (C capo @ 2) 0516/1712
I don't have a life/Not a real life
Tho I may be bold/I don't have a hand to hold
I don't have a life/Not a real life
No…
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

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow

Comments on stoman's stuff
Great track. I like the music, the lyrics and the vocal. Everything is perfect. Boy oh boy, it sounds fine!
Very touching.
Such a lovely song, beautifully and clearly sung by Emmi. Your piano playing sounds great to me Steffen!
Lovely vox Michael! Exceptional composition and the music is gorgeous! Heart tearing lyric too!
Beautiful . . . And rich sounding.
Such a beautifully done piece of music and I love the melody!
Lovely! This was great for first thing in the morning
I like your voice too!
Love this, I'm all 80's now. I'm going to talk about Neu now...
clever, good music and fun lyrics great pair up
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! :)
Very "movie-ish." Yes. Glad you got it back.
Gorgeous sound quality Steffen, rich and vibrant. Lovely composition and perfect balance. Ooo, I like this!
clever synth sounds , it stirs my imagination
ha, this is really out there... so of course I like 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

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
