Hi everyone, this song is based on the themes of learning and forgetting.
But from the perspective of trancience...
It is called: That Day,
link:https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/that-day?si=51fc9c0c83d140ae8f587f1d5a0c3f67&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
It's a long story why I made this song. It has nothing to do with me. It was inspired when meeting someone I knew a long time ago.

For me the song was 'finished' yesterday. So just on the edge to 2022.
I don't really know why that is important, although I think that year will probably bring us a lot of pleasure, musicall greatness and all we else we can use.

Hope you like it, but in all cases I wish you a prosperous 2022!
Hans

Lyrics
That Day
(c) Hans Berkhout, dec 15, 2021
It was that day I remember
It was when I started to walk
Another day I can recall
I then learned how to talk

There was that day I knew so well
I tried to handle falling in love
And there was that day I understood
happiness don't come from above

Refrain
I had to learn how to live
No one taught it me this way
Not my parents and friends, or at school
My preceptor was 'that' day

There was that day I learned crying
When my loved one passed away
It was that day the sky was gray
And I died too, so to say

Refrain
I had to learn how to live
No one taught me it this way
Not my family and friends or at work
My preceptor was 'that' day

Bridge
All these days learned me a lot
But none of them (2x) did stay
While I needed them
I longed for them, every day

=solo=

Refrain
I had to learn how to live
No one taught me it this way
My days have faded since then
Only one had stayed

So life became more easy;
Today I deal with yesterday
Don't try to ask for more
it's yesterday, I'm reliving today
My preceptor is that day...

Excellent work Hans! Your vocals are always excellent and this one certainly continues that tradition! I like that brief guitar only interlude...it really ads depth to the tune! Great work! Thanks, Torrey

Nice one to close the year with Hans.
You posted fine songs throughout the year and we look forward to more.

The premise of learning from "those" days is something we can all strive for.

Your vocal and the arrangement were excellent (nice outro especially).
And the piano was standout.

Well done and happy new year!

Oh, yeah, that day. That would be cool to remember the day you learned to walk. Good song, Hans, and a special Happy New Year to you, and I really like your enthusiasm for 2022. The band is good and tight, and the mix is perfect. Your vocal is always my favorite part. Not a fan of the 8th-note bass. however; it seems to take away from the dynamics in the changes.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I thought the arrangement was one of your best, maybe the best. I loved the bridge, wish it had lasted a bit longer. I had to look up the word preceptor, I didn't know it.

Nice work!

Hi Torrey,

Thanks a lot for your so nice comment. For me it gives the ending of 2021 a nice feeling.
Welcome in 2022. Let's make nice songs (again)

Thanks for this very nice compliment on the song and all others I made that year.
I think Lennon gave a lot of inspiration.
About that learning days: learning to walk and talk were metaphors of how to do this in an expected way.
I hope this year brings even more inspiration. For all of us, so we can continue anoying others, no I meant pleasing them ;-)

Hi there Japokeapeg,

I wonder what is behind that name...

Thanks for your nice compliments!
Today I listened to some of your songs too. Very good!
A little distance from the mike could improve the sound even more.
But the songs are original!

Nice 2022,
Hans

Hi Marty,

I start with your so nice compliments (thanks for that):

And now my reaction to some of the remarks you made. I agree that it would be something if you could remember when you start walking or talking. But that was not what I meant. It was meant metaphorical, learning how society wants you to behave. I could have writen this more clearly, but I hoped this was clear enough. Apparently not...

The other remarks I can only love, but about the bass I thought it would have blown you away ( in a positive way).
Now I wonder how I could have done that differently without loosing that mood in the song.

But whatever,
A very nice and musicall 2022!
Hans

Good groove and a a good set of chords.
HANDS DOWN one of your best vocal performances Hans.
I di think the lead guitar at the beginning was a little brittle/crisp but it was gone soon enough.
The slightly off centre lead solo was better though oddly off the middle but, again, it came and went so no biggie.


Cheers

Happy new Year Hans. Excellent tune. Super vocal. Loved the lyric. Excellent backtrack. The quiet break in the middle was a nice touch. Well done...

Hi Hans,

Man, your memory is much better than mine! wink

Seriously though, a very good song! I really like the concept of growing and learning along the way.

Love the change at 2:20, also the way you ended the song, nicely done.

Excellent vocal, lots of passion.

Good song to end off the year I think.

Hans ...

Sorry I'm late to this. Di and I have been very sick since Christmas day.

This is a great song in all respects! Thought-provoking lyric and great mixing of the band. This is really terrific! Best to you in the New Year ...
