Secret Songs new year 2024

fake live of me just playing through some of my song settings (all old / public domain words)

The Stars are With the Voyager

Sun of my Soul

Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep

Stay Thy Tears

Now is the Cherry in Blossom

Never Weather-Beaten Sail

Love Will Find Out The Way

Long did I toil

Lady Moon

original song I wrote for the 2-hour album challenge, featuring quotes/references/collage of imagery from Ada Cambridge / RL Stevenson / Psalms ...

Lyrics: the moon marks the seasons the sun knows when to set the foxes roam the quiet streets from dusk (and so and so and so) get up, get dressed for work observe the wonder of the bones of the human hand we are mortal, infinitesimal, divine a little lower than the angels

our island is alive with marvels the birds sing in the branches grown about with fragrant bushes a winding valley where a clear stream flows and green grass grows and the sheep bells and the linnets chime and sing

how calm the starry city but beneath the million-fibred heart of humanity is twisted with every grief our comrades homeless, beaten, maimed how can I sleep in peace and this is life - pointless to ask and these things happen

the moon marks the seasons…

at the best of times, in the midst of life slips between us like a shadow between your lips and my kiss, the motion and the act between the past and the future those two black infinities where our brief life flashes a moment and goes out

the moon marks the seasons…

and wasn't this after all the meaning of incarnation a full life, thirty-three work and laughter, family headaches and haircuts, itches, homesickness drinking with friends, meetings and partings and prayers when I think - walking to the site of execution when I consider the bones of your hands irretrievably smashed I cannot fathom: these things happened

sunrise on the shore tend the fire, warm your hands the one who lived and died and lives again cooking breakfast for his friends

I made a song yesterday for the 2-Hour Album Challenge theme LIFE. You can listen to the actual thing at the very end of this video (2:14:22) on my second channel, OR join everyone on the livestream listening party for the next couple hours to hear all the songs here: https://www.twitch.tv/ben_burnes

Soon the album will go up on bandcamp for donations to raise money for Angel of Hope cat rescue 🐈 I might do something more with my song, not sure or when... BUT, hey, a song! with words and everything! Something I want to do more of this year, songwriting and singing both.

PIANOWRIMO 2023 #23

I wanted to write a ballad that will make people (me) cry ... This is like one verse and chorus.

Thank you to everyone who voted or commented! This was interesting because it actually wasn't at all what I expected... So then, I have made a few tweaks to the design of 2, and more importantly I am uploading tracks to bandcamp RIGHT NOW so please brace for arrival!

PIANOWRIMO 2023 #24

Oooooo i wanted to make the music for a youtube video when the chaos starts and there's chase music xD However then I wrote 3 bars that I canNOT play that fast, anyway not today, so it's a bit more cheeky and chill. Also the beginning sounds a bit like Die Fledermaus waltz, ragtime ver.
