People posted amazing "end of the year" tunes  past couple of days. Here is my modest contribution to the stockpile smile
This is a collaboration with a friend, Ina Fre.  She has a very different musical training and I was very glad she agreed to participate in my little project.
It still needs a lot of mixing and a re-do of my horrible melodica solo. I started this tune with help of Pipeline (a warrior member of this forum), who generously
created a guitar UserTrack that I used on this. Constructive & critical comments are always welcomed! Thank you for listening and Happy New Year!


Hands Are Getting Colder





Lyrics:

I set my boat down the river, cutting anchor rope
I set my boat down the river letting go with hope
catching wind on the next bend, to the faraway land..faraway land


Searching for a remedy, life of lonely turtles
Running the maze of vicious circles
throwing hands sky high - laying low as boulders
seems like time is passing by, hands are getting colder.


I found a magic key, looking for survival
I found a hidden door deep inside my heart
and I followed the stairway spiral
To the light...to the light.

Searching for a remedy, life of humble hermits
Carrying our big guns- without permits
Lifting selves sky high, laying low as boulders,
seems like time is passing by, hands are getting cooolder.

I found an ancient axe digging in a garden
I found an ancient axe, buried long ago
and I took my trusty shovel and buried it deeper
In dark ore

Searching for a remedy, life of restless nomads
seating in our cubicles - being so flawless
Flying rockets sky high, laying low as boulders
seems like time is passing by.... hands are getting colder
