Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write with lots of layers my friend. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

Thank you Gus for keeping up with me. xoxo

Chère F.,
Love it that you post more often.
And I read all of them.

My favorite sentence in this poem is:

Sometimes thing happen because it could not be held back

Wish I had thought of that. It tells me that I can’t possibly control everything. A comforting thought!

I hope your Tuesday will be happy and full of inspiration.
Warm greetings, Gus

hello beautiful Fia this is a profound write ❤️

So true

Outstanding piece. Well said!

No way! You gotta have hope always!
Old story: There were two boys, one was a pessimist and the other an optimist. They were both put in a barn full of horse crap for a day. At the end of the day, the old man opened the door to see how the boys were doing. The pessimist was far back in the corner, on his tiptoes, complaining about all the shit and the smell. While the optimist was crouched down, frantically flinging the horse crap all over the place. The man asked that boy what was he doing. The boy said “With all this fresh horse shit, there’s gotta be a pony in here somewhere!
But anyway, your write is on point with many of the days for us all. An accurate description of the struggle for basic sanity, at least!

That’s cool. I actually get much of my motivation from reading. it’s the words tumbling around in my head that create little scenarios that I build from. A lot! Music sets a mood, though, yes. Can’t live without it!

Short but said so much. Just walk it off. Something to keep in mind.

Terrific little write.

Having dealt with the darkness of depression myself I can feel your friends soul just aching for peace.

Bloody scary but the only way out of suffering is in….give your friend a hug from me.
🙏🙏🙏

When my friend explained the things they were unable to get done because of the debilitating depression, the doctor actually asked “Why not? Why don’t you just don’t it?” My friend responded (quite rightly, I thought) with “fuck you.” If they don’t understand they judge. When they judge, it adds to the damage. I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to just be kind to each other. Thank you, my friend

This is so cool. I happy you both did it. Nice going to Ricky;))

Nicely done, Adel. You and Gus did an amazing job on this song. Love the trippy effect on the chorus, I’m assuming with reverb.. You got a better voice than I do. Appreciate you.

Damian

Chère A.,
Hope this finds you well?!

You see, it’s not half as scary as you may have thought I guess.
There’s a first time for all fun and harmless things, and this is such a thing. Kicking some ideas around with a very happy sounding outcome!

I simply loved the whole process. I am grateful for you having done this coop with me. And extra grateful for children who support the quirkies of their parents. And a very nice touch of voice doubling on the chorus.

I love it from the first to the last second! Until we’ll meet again… electronically (to prevent gossip – there’s not a first for everything I think). Wish your first song published Tuesday will sound as happy as your voice.
Warm greetings, Gus

Well, darn. I love how you are branching out in so many directions creatively. And yes, I smile every time you serenade me with this song. (hey thats what you called it!). Props to Gus and Ricky for their help. keep in mind that this is your first try at something like this, and it is not horrible! So don’t knock yourself over it, punk!
And then this evening, you did another poetry reading in your town. Damn! I am so happy sharing your enthusiasm and energy. You are incredible my love.

Nicely done! Especially this line:

sending you vivid dreams
of how the night has short curves
and breathes falling stars
and breathes falling stars
that traveled 51 years

That gave me chills.

Thank you for sharing

You did it!! So cool! Love the song Adelphina and Gus.
Hoping on more 🙏

As we would say back in the day, “I’ll give it a 99.8. It’s got heart, it’s got soul, and a beat you can dance too.” So where can I get the album?? Tell me there’s an album. Way to go Adelphina, Gus and Ricky. Rock On!! -Curt

@anyone doubting the power of coops/update
Posted on StarsRite And SongUTD (very very small forum) but still 66 listens.
Plus posted on Gitaarnet.nl/forum.
The counter there says 245, so a steady 20 people (musicians) per day who come to listen to this.

A very nice way to start a new week!
Kind regards, Gus

This takes me back to the early days of MTV…has that feel to it. Makes me wish I could still sing. Nicely done, both of you!

Thanks for the info, Fia. Glad Book Con went well my friend. Thank you for all that you do for this community. Appreciate you, Cuz.

Damian

Great info. I agree with Damian!

Thanks for going and getting eyes on us.
We couldn’t have asked for a better spokesperson Fia.
Your commitment and drive is inspiring chica:)
Keep making boss moves!
