After years of writing songs I thought it was time to share. So this is a channel for my original songs, covering many genres from Blues to Folk from Country to Jazz and more! In the tradition of the singer songwriter it will mainly be me and my guitar.
I Wish I Could Have Held You (original song)
Song for an old friend who suffered from #mentahealth issues. I did not realise it at the time and wish things could have been different!

Apologies to visitors looking for the great song by @cyndilauper but I hope you'll stay and give it a listen! I am sure we have all had a friend who can never seem to find the right partner but just won't listen to reason. This song explores this topic.

Cas, what a beautiful heartfelt song for your friend.

Serving in loving care...well done!
@@felizhopper thank you
Nice!
@@OldBusker thank you
Beautiful song and lyrics. My mom's name is Martha 💙
@@christinamarynicolemusic thank you. Just to reassure you the song's not about your Mom!
@@casciottisongs I was worried! 😂😂
This song takes me back to a long drive back home from dropping off a new girlfriend I'd dated for just a few weeks. I was in the USAF in England, she was flying back home to the states. We promised to keep writing and feed the relationship from a long distance. It was 1972 way before the tech we have today. As I drove back to where I was living off base, it began to rain. It was at that exact moment I knew I'd never see her again. I cried. Through my tears and the rain on my windshield I could hardly see the road ahead. Two, maybe three letters then nothing. Thanks Cas for again capturing feelings from long ago.
@@DocVIImusic thank you I m glad it had an effect, hopefully you can look back with good memories
A beautiful, heartfelt, sad creation, Cas. 👏👏🎸🎸💖💖
@@garyschafer-thepickinpilot9010 thank you it means a lot
Truly beautiful and so painful. I do know that feeling of losing someone that maybe I could’ve saved. You captured the anguish in a beautiful song. You always find a great turn of phrase and an unexpected chord that lift it above the rest. 🎶🙌
@@sandikimmel9505 thank you I really struggled on the lyrics for this, a hard song that means a lot
@@casciottisongs You definitely got the feeling across, Cas. Sending forgiveness to your sad heart... ❤🩹
@sandikimmel9505 thank you. By the way the soul contract song is coming on I have a couple of verses and a couple of lines short on the middle eight!
@@casciottisongs Oh! That absolutely makes me the happiest I've been all day! Thank you for letting me know...and I can't wait to hear it, Cas!
@sandikimmel9505 I would wait till you hear it, you may not approve as it took a turn to the 'dark side' very quickly!
You capture retrospect and sorrow all too well…I really admire laying it out there! You have an incredible ability to write such heart stirring songs that reflect deeply! 👏👏👏👏
@@MadruSongs1958 thank you for listening and your kind comments
gee, so beautiful Cas. love your voice and the gorgeous open chords

Beautiful original song Cas!!! You seem to effortlessly play and sing your very storied lyrics songs my friend 🤗 loved it! Thanks much for sharing 🙏. Steve
@@StevenEarney thank you for your kind comments
Ah, isn't hindsight a tough mistress! Lovely song.
@@FingersAndStrums thank you my friend
A wonderful conversational style song, Cas. A very enjoyable song, my friend.
@@robinrendellwordman8182 thank you it means a lot
This is beautiful, and resonates with me a lot. I lost a friend recently to mental health issues, and think every day about how I wish I'd known and done more. Thank you for sharing something so personal. 🥺🙏
@@johnny_amish thank you this song means a lot to me and was difficult to write
I can certainly identify with this song! We are sometimes unaware of our friends' troubles, especially if they are good at disguising them. A friend of mine, who I'd known since school days, sadly took his own life. I had no idea he was so troubled. I still think of him often. A poignant song and you perform it with genuine feeling!
@@roberthaigh3206 thank you this song means a lot to me and took a long time to write
Great song, sounds wonderful friend, big like!!!!
@@ChangoGuitarras thank you so much

@@cracottin777 thank you much appreciated
Lovely Cas. Recorded very well.
@@randphillipsmusic thank you much appreciated
I watched your videos. Your videos are very beautiful! You have been uploading videos on this channel for 3 year. You have uploaded 84 videos. I am surprised to see!!! Even after uploading so many videos, your channel has very few subscribers, and your videos have very few views! Why did you think about it? Because of SEO problems...... As a UA-cam seo expert, I pointed out your problem. You should optimize your channel's videos for SEO as soon as possible>>>> thanks
Another beautiful story! You tell it with such passion in your voice and your lyrics are stellar! Always a pleasure listening to you!👏👏👏
@@MadruSongs1958 thank you so much my friend. Happy New Year to you
@@casciottisongs I appreciate you and your amazing gift!!! I wish you a very Happy New Year!!!
Beautiful song Cas. Great guitar part too 🎵
@@samshepherdmusician thank you, much appreciated
Another beautiful song, Cas. Sometimes, our “soul contract” with someone is complete. We can move on without guilt or regret and forgiveness. It seems like you and Martha have moved on, having completed your soul contract together. 🙏
@@sandikimmel9505 thank you, I love the concept of a soul contract, I think you should definitely write a song about it! Happy New Year to you
@@casciottisongs Hmm, or maybe YOU should. 😉 Happy New Year to you, too, Cas. Grateful for the friendship. ❣
@sandikimmel9505 as soon as I can think of a rhyme for contract I'm on it!
@@casciottisongs Would you consider abstract, contact, extract, compact, distract, exact and distract? (Just trying to help and encourage you. 😊)
@sandikimmel9505 definitely something to go on. I'll see what I can do!
Another great original, Cas. Happy New Year 👏👏🎸🎸🥂🥂🍾🍾
@@garyschafer-thepickinpilot9010 thank you so much and a Happy New Year to you too
Very nicely performed Martha, I Blame Me original song Cas!!! Lovely vocal and very nice acoustic picking my friend! Thanks for sharing 🙏. Thanks for many wonderful videos in 24 Cas, and hope to hear many more in the New Year! All the best.... Steve
@@StevenEarney thank you so much and a Happy New Year to you
Impressive 🙂

This may be my new favorite Cas Ciotti song. I truly love every note of this song.
@@DocVIImusic thank you for your support and encouragement
nice
@@charlesquinnwarwick380 thank you
A good song, with interesting chord progressions. Nicely done. 🙂👍
@@roberthaigh3206 thank you, much appreciated
Perfect timing. I just opened up UA-cam as you upload your video! I’m always impressed with how professional quality your videos are. Not just the incredible performance but the sound, lighting and video quality. That was the perfect song to sit and relax to. Thank you Cas!
@@DrewHughesMusic thank you, the lighting is just what's coming from the window. I am struggling with the sound at the moment I can't get decent separation of the vocals and guitar to mix properly. I am trying different mics and positions. I am thinking of buying a lapel mic to try and isolate the vocals! Watch this space
I edited this comment because I now see the sm57. I didn’t notice it because it blended into the mic cable. So NT1 for vocal and sm57 for the guitar. I honestly think it sounds great! Your videos always have great sound quality
@@casciottisongsHave you ever watched the “tiny desk concert” channel? It’s very good. I noticed they all use shotgun microphones. Apparently they are very good at isolating just the vocals. Saw it and thought of our microphone comments
@DrewHughesMusic thanks I will look into it. I have been searching on Amazon and eBay and there are hundreds of possible vocal mics!
@ look forward to see what you choose 👍🏻
So beautiful ! Thank you for this sweet gift 🎁
@@cracottin777 thank you for listening, much appreciated
Very nice song!
