Artist picture
Musician/songwriter Born in England, grew up in N.Y. and now live in Florida. ENJOY!
Hans Boos RIP 1966-2019 I moved songs my brother Hans and I wrote to a separate song page. I will be adding more. If anyone wants to hear a cool vocalist, killer drummer and bass player go visit assortedpeople. Thanks. Lee Boos Project I am a 63 year old musician/songwriter, collectively writing progressive, alternative, soft and southern rock songs for at least 45 years. Between my Brother Hans and I we have written close to 300 songs. Hans recently passed away but he seems to show up in the form of some of the drum and bass styles that I have written into my latest songs. Thanks Hans, I miss you. RIP. Besides music, I am an avid golfer holding a 3 hdc. I work in the pro shop at Coral Oaks golf club in Cape Coral, Florida. I am currently semi- retired. Whoever visits, I hope you will enjoy my music. Here is a little more background. I dropped out of music for a bit in order to re group and become inspired by life and family. But let the truth be known, my Brother Hans has been the driving force in my rekindling the flame and fire in my belly. We went about 2 to 3 years without any means to record songs until recently. Hans built a new home studio. As I sampled his music the fire grew in me and I too, put together another home studio. I have gone the DAW, digital audio workstation, interface and midi. Hans had continued with a 32 track digital console up until he passed away. Both studios seemed to produce beautiful music. More about Lee and Hans P.S. my brother Hans wrote this upcoming part of the Bio back in 2006 when we joined soundclick. He was a funny guy and always acted like the younger brother that he was. so I'm not going to edit this much! Lee Sommers(Name de la stage)has been playing guitar since right about when they invented it... We think he played the first "rock" guitar - in that it was built out of stone. Hans Von Bous(name de la bullshitta es la staga)Has been playing several instruments for many years. For years they have played music together and have written hundreds of songs. They would sometimes be the entertainment at family get togethers, etc... Lee being the elder brother had musical experience first and was an inspiration to his younger brother, Hans. Lee played in a band called Mountain Ash and jammed guitar at home sometimes, playing the acoustic and singing John Denver and such. Hans joined in with harmonies and started playing drums on a banjo skin. Later the kit grew to paint cans, bass drums, snares, and other household percussion objects. Lee's guitar playing talent progressed along with the piano and Hans picked up other instruments along the way, Bass and drums Later on became quit the guitarist as well. They both put together what they could eventually both contributing renditions of several instruments, voicings, styles, etc... Favorite spot? N.Y.C. however they live in sw. Florida now. 1997-2019 SoundClick Inc.

Lyrics
Pay The Piper By Lee Boos (Verse 1) Dancing in the shadows, we gamble all night, Chasing after dreams that seem just out of sight. Ignoring all the signs, oh, were playing a game, Tempting fate in colors, never looking the same. (Chorus) Were paying the piper, living how we choose, Sometimes smelling like a rose, while dancing with the blues. Taking chances, with every risk we take But well pay in the end, might never get a break (Verse 2) Let the music play loud, lets make our way, For every shining moment, well find a way to stay. With a smile on our faces, well face what weve earned, In this beautiful gamble, our fires will burn. (Chorus) Were paying the piper, living how we choose, Sometimes smelling like a rose, while dancing with the blues. Taking chances, with every risk we take But well pay in the end, might never get a break (Verse 3) Heres to the moments, both bitter and sweet, In the dance of our lives, we find our heartbeat. Tempting fate while laughing, well take every bend, Smelling like a rose, till the very end. (Chorus) Were paying the piper, living how we choose, Sometimes smelling like a rose, while dancing with the blues. Taking chances, with every risk we take But well pay in the end, might never get a break

Fantastic job on the version with lyrics. The music has a very dark & atmospheric basis which sets a great mood. Brilliant job on the lyrics, love the message & the way it's written, works perfectly with the music to paint a vivid picture.

Many emotions to this song, from slightly dark and soulful to more uplifting with positive vibes. I can hear that this would work well in a verse/chorus format if you added vocals. But also excellent as an instrumental - great tone and melody with the guitar work, very engaging.
