Sometimes in Life........Storms blow in. Storms of varying types and intensity. There are times, where we hang on and hunker down, and other times we 'retreat' and drive away to safety. Then, there are those that leave as quickly as they appeared and take all of their fury and turmoil along with them and just move along. Recently, played my Strat as one encroached upon us in an attempt to capture the feel of one of these Mini-Monsters that emerged rather quickly, but left with much less ferocity than most. Skillfully Mastered by My Good Friend, The Most Talented - Bravei Brasil. Many Thanks for your Heartfelt contribution on this project, Bravei! :D))))

Stratified Guitar'ing to accompany Bravei Brasil Music, featuring AmPro Strat with Shawbucker HSS V-Mods. Bravei created, arranged, and produced these wonderful Band-Tracks and the Final Production Mix! This Bouncy tune is the latest of many Collaborative Projects we have joined forces on together in one way or another. Always an absolute joy, pleasure, and privilege to work on Collaborations with my most talented Buddy from Brazil. Genuine Thanks for all of your hard work and support in making this project happen, Bravei! Continued Best, as always. Obrigado, Muito Bom Amigo! ;-)

Digits Dancin' on Breedlove Nylon Acoustic-Electric CE fretboard to a contemporaneously created Rhythm Track. Then, played a Lead-Fill intuitively. Recorded with Logic Pro 10.5 and mixed using a few Waves Plug-ins to round out the rumble and echo-tones.

Original Tune and Lyrics, recorded and produced by RiffWerx Records & Productions. Songwriting, vocal, guitar, and mix by Riff Beach. Basic Two Track'er - One vocal and One features my Little Black Martin. ReMastered by Bravei Brasil.

Well, I know you’re Tryin’

But, sometimes….

You know I’m Dyin’

Just a little……

Each and Every-Day

Send a smile on

Unleash a Laugh now

Shed a tear

For, we’ll soon be on our Way

(Chorus)

And, Damn, You’re Cryin’

And, I don’t know why when

You know we all grow old

And then we - Fade Away

Give me a Hug

A long, slow kiss

Leave me just knowing

Not quite what to say

(Bridge)

With a wink

And a grin

Well, you know now

That I’ll just be on My Way

I’ve held your Love

I’ve held you close

And, I’ll hang on tight

Now, Don’t you ever Leave

Just some Contemporaneous Stratified Sketchin' with a bit of Telecastin' mixed in for good measure! ;-)

What was Once shall ever be, maybe better?..... One day soon, we'll see!

Faded Glory, Same Old Story

Is that sometimes how it seems?

Faded Glory, Same Old Story

Chasing all your Broken Dreams

Oh, Faded Glory…..

What’s Beyond your Horizon?

Are all the Best Times left fading into The Sun?

Whatever’s lost is not what we’re destined to become

(Chorus)

So, Faded Glory…..

Remember Golden Days Gone By

As the setting sun sinks slowly in the sky

Hold the light within your soul

And it will never die

Faded Glory, Same Old Story

Through Times of Good and Bad

And, all The Ones that are Yet to Be

Let’s Make some Memories

Sound of Paul Reed Smith Electric S2 Custom McCarty Tobacco Burst just wailin', snarlin', hissin', whinin', and Cryin' It's Ever Breakin' and Bleedin' Little Ol' Heart Out For YOU! Love the warmth and versatility of this Electric. Always such a Blessing to just Grab by The Neck and Play whenever it seems right. ;-)

Fire in The Sky ©

Riff Beach -RiffWerx - 2020

Well, I’ve packed a Lot of Living

Into this Crazy Lifetime

There’s not much I haven’t done or seen

There’s times when it all feels

……just like a Dream

When it’s Time to Say Goodbye

Like an Early Morning Sunrise

My Spirit will Soar on High

Just like a Fire in The Sky

Like an Evening Sunset

Not sure I know quite Why?

But, I’ll reach that Place of Glory

And, Find that Fire in The Sky

Some leave somewhat gently

With a prayer, a smile……a sigh

But, my weary soul yearns and burns

For a Fire in The Sky

There’s a Splendor in the Sunlight

It can bring a tear to your eye

One day, I may just be up there,

Somewhere.....

Like a Fire in The Sky

Oh, Yeah

Like a Fire in The Sky

It’s Burnin’ Way on High

Like a Fire in The Sky

Like a Fire in The Sky

Way Up High…Like a Fire In The Sky

Day Fades to Night, Night Fades to Morning...as Our Lives move past way too Fast! Created backing track and played along on my PRS S2 Custom 24 Electric.

Popular Folk-Crossover Song Originally written and performed by Tim Hardin way back in 1967. Covered by many, including Johnny Cash and Leon Russell. My own creative take and lyrical interpretation, intended with respect. Just a bit of After Midnight Dabblin'. That's all. Vocals, instruments, and production by Riff Beach - RiffWerx - 2020.
