"Timeless Years" Original

I was really happy to write this song with these wonderful lyrics by Doug Payne http://www.youtube.com/user/coomadoug
Video & Instruments by me

Lyrics:

When we were young souls we´d come down here
to throw in some wine and beer.
There was music in our laughter
Clumsiness in love.
Way back then I do recall

Happy souls in rocking chairs,
kicking back with cups of tea,
reflecting in the sun our joy

Everyday they shook their heads
Mumbling their thoughts
I´m not quite sure they were good.
The Joyful voices singing,
help me search for you above
as I kick back in timeless years

Happy souls in rocking chairs,
kicking back with cups of tea,
reflecting in the sun our joy

So now I sit here searching
for the bottom of my cup.
The youngsters come here laughing.
Their music always wakes me up
They didnt understand us well

I wouldn't want to meet you.
And make love I never meant.
I really don't know what to do.

This is how it is my friend;
Our lives forever bent,
Upon each other we depend.
If only things were different now.
You can be the first to say,
All passion has been spent away.

What a lovely lovely song our good friend Doug wrote here, and honestly Rick you couldn't have possibly performed this any better, this is what great songs are made of. A very sincere thanks to both of you for sharing the journey with me, and you know what, I feel this ride is only going to get sweeter with each song we all do together. I hope I can do this justice Rick, I'm going to sing right along with you on this great song with headsets on tonight and we'll see where it goes. Mark

Glad you posted this as a response, I was going to ask you to do so. Nice sax, is that a midi?

Great lift into the chorus, showing off some range on "bottom". ;-)

[nicklasb]

[bios36]

Cheers! my friend

Rick

[nicklasb]

Hey!? Do you have any record out somewhere?

[Maysey1]

Sorry Rick, I just assumed Doug had worked out the basic music on this lovely piece. Nevertheless it's a beautiful arrangement by you, an elegant marriage of words and music. I believe we are equally responsible for the songs we are sharing together, it wouldn't be what it is without the other. Great thing going on mate!!!!!
