Spare a thought for those with nothing this Christmas..... Homeless with no family.........and no one to help.......
CHRISTMAS ALONE (Lyrics)
Nobody is listening no body knocking on my door
nobody is near me nobody wants me
i’m nobody’s…
I am alone, I am alone.
No one comes to me, I froze.
But I do not give up, I know:
I came here alone,
and I'll leave from here alone.
...and: only if alone
I'm destined to reach my peak.
Who am I?
The insecurity of criticism to the nowhere man ......... I didn't have time this evening to put any music to this so i've put an old instrumental (The Turkish Lout) to it.....hope you enjoy my little drama about that nowhere man....(Be Warned…

Poor old Reg is having yet another mid-life crisis he's trying to work through...ever been there..........
LOST (Lyrics)
i hear the faint whisper of my youth as it’s calls as it disappears
It’s disappeared from me so quick

Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I took a long break from music, but like all true loves I couldn't stay away forever.
I'm slowly getting back into it, but this tune, although an "oldie" reminds me why I enjoy making tunes; I hope you enjoy it too!
I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.
When I saw the May songwriting challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show…
Digging through and deleting some old things, found this old thing that felt like it needed a rescue. There's probably a story behind it, but that's long, long forgotten.

*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.
A new son reveals…
From Me
I don’t care what they think
From DC to New York – Looking for you
The sky is bright – But my heart is blue
Down, down, down – Down I go
100 miles an hour on this broken road
LOVE ME, KISS ME – I can’t understand what you see in…

Didnt get the album out for RPM this year, but did have some time to make some music in Feb. Dylan is one of my favs . lowered the BPM quite a bit and truncated the lyrics to fit, which Im pretty sure put my wife to sleep, lol Enjoy!
Lyrics…
The epochs are changing, the kaleidoscope of events is spinning faster and faster. The horizon of events, as the beginning of the rainbow, is not possible to reach. Which does not mean that there is no way for others.
THE SWING
When I was a child we'd drive 200 miles
To Gramma’s in the Spring
I’d hop out of the car. Run to her back yard.
Gramma had a swing
The times have changed...
And when I became a dad I took all the rope I had
And tied it to…

Love the Eastern feel in the music. Your spoken word delivery is right on as usual!
nice work
I love that music. It sounds sort of Chinese, and that's fab in my book. Perfect delivery as usual Regs!
Ah, the vocal that goes with it. Wonderful lyrics as well.
Wow! A real cry from the heart!
Very sad and even more so because it's true. An excellent song.
Oh I see, this is the same one with vox. A sorry tale but ..... Very well done Reg.
Oh, I like it! What a lovely melody.
You certainly gave it the Reg treatment. Good one!
Very clever...harrowing lyrics against a beautiful Christmassy backdrop...thought-provoking.
Thanks for making this happen!
Beautiful! Lovely build up of warm festive layers!
Such a stirring melody, sung with conviction, Regs!
Shades of Meat Loaf in the vocal ...which is fine by me.....good oh Jarvo
ELP like version of Jerusalem...........with a bucolic vocal ...sounds like "angry of the Cotswolds"....and guess what ...I like it !! Encore Jarvo
fun,fun,fun......the banjiano is cool too ! Jarvo
always best to be up front and say what you think.... Good tune ,good tune.... Jarvo
its so sad when people are two faced - great tune
Is there no end to your talent? Great production. Love it
