Hi everyone,

I wasn't able to be on our forum for a month or so. Sorry for that
But I was able to work on some songs; 2 remixes and a new one. This one.
I released it a day or so ago: Middle of the Night, https://on.soundcloud.com/yc7ju


The idea for the song was not so very original; I mostly lie awake for some hours in the middle of the night.
Thinking of everything, like the making of this song ;-)
I hope to hear what you think of it.

============================================
the middle of the night
(c) HWBerkhout 2023

In the middle of a night I lay with my eyes wide open
Because of all the tensions that can't wait
They buzzed around me like raging angry birds
And that night I became afraid

chorus
I always slept so well, but then the world changed
Problems became so huge
Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many
But in the morning I haven't solved any

In the middle of the night I have my eyes wide open
Disturbing thoughts that cannot wait
They swirled around me like bloodthirsty bats
And each night I became more afraid

chorus
I always slept so well, but when the world changed
Problems became so huge
Wars, hatred, and greedy ego's, there are so many
But in the morning I haven't solved any

The middle of the night I fear that time
I tried sleeping in the middle of the day
but people warned me I must stay awake then
Else I chase them away

Solo

Bridge
Oh, I wish I could sleep!
Ignore all these thoughts
There must be a solution
To sleep all night

chorus2
In the middle of a night maybe the world changes
The ego's and their [*****] disappear
In the middle of a night I find peace of mind
In the middle of a night sleep I'll find

In the middle of a night issues being solved
In the middle of whatever night
In the middle... I cannot wait
Maybe I'm no more afraid...
