Hi all, here is my second song I was working on. It is a remix from my song from 2019 with the same title.
But the song itself is quite updated, largely new lyrics and new band. The vocals, well, they are always the same.
The song is called Bad Luck; https://on.soundcloud.com/vuPGmEWGUjq6QuPo6
The song is a bit long (4:15). I couldn't shortened it, sorry for that.
I'm curious what you think of it. Especially those 5-string fiddle. That was a bit of a challenge, but in the end I liked it much.
I hope you too!

The lyrics:
Bad Luck
(c) HwBerkhout 2019/01-03-2025

I'm rowing in an ocean
in a leaking dinghy
I only can recall
Our plane crashed into the sea

I'm the sole survivor
Can't find me any land
I have no food and water
or signals to send

It's getting darker by the hour
Then I only see the moon
The waves are getting rougher
I must be found real soon

I'm rowing in an ocean
No idea where to go
We call this 'bad luck',
as far as I know

Chorus1
No, this ain't my day, though you're with me
In my heart, I see your face and you're smiling
But I'm so frightened, and desperate as can be
Still I keep saying we're gonna make it, you and me

I'm rowing in an ocean
The moon is my only light
Sharks pay me more attention
They're getting closer this night

I'm the sole survivor
No idea where to go
We call this 'bad luck',
As far as I know

Chorus2
No, this ain't my day, though you're with me
In my heart, I see your face and you're smiling
But I'm so frightened, and desperate as can be
Still I keep saying we're gonna make it, you will see

Solo
Chorus3
No, this ain't my day, though you're with me
In my heart, I see your face and you're smiling
But I'm so frightened, and desperate as can be
Still I keep saying we're gonna make it, you and me

Outro
As I row in this sinking dinghy,
so cold and so wet,
you crawled to me, yes finally.
No bad luck no more!
I feel your lips and close my eyes...
