Beautiful prelude with Celtic and old flavor.

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

NEGATIVE SILENCE

Someone is going to be sorry
Someone is going to be glad
If you tell me what time your train leaves I’ll work out if I’m happy or sad

You came here unannounced and uninvited
With a shoulder bag and a coat
To a small town in the sand dunes
And a string of fishing boats

Down the alleyways and the backstreets
Past the boarded shops and pubs
windows covered with posters for karaoeke clubs

The market place is empty,
Cobbles glisten in the dawn,
but the sun doesn’t rise as the
mist comes in, off the shore

Someone, somewhere
In a street in a town in a country over there
Somehow, someway
With a wish with hope with a prayer
With a desperate heart full of fear
With the promised land so far and yet so near


Somebody took advantage
Someone else took pity on you
Pulling beer in the volunteer
Under flags of red white and blue

Your accent is confusing
From somewhere to the East
You said the name but it didn’t mean much to me

Your skin is pale like paper
hair is black as tar
You lined up shots like bullets
And arm wrestled me off the bar

We all stood to form a queue
Of knuckle cracking clowns
Our tattooed facing sweated
As you took each of us down

Someone, somewhere
In a street in a town in a country over there
Somehow, someway
With a wish with hope with a prayer
With a desperate heart full of fear
With the promised land so far and yet so near


Somebody’s going to be angry others will be satisfied
I’ll make up my mind in a year or two
When the memory of you has died

Someone is going to be sorry
Someone is going to be glad
If you tell me what time your train leaves I’ll work out if I’m happy or sad


Someone, somewhere
In a street in a town in a country over there
Somehow, someway
With a wish with hope with a prayer
With a desperate heart full of fear
With the promised land so far and yet so near

So Near, So Far

Open Source Drumming (OSD):
(for further details, check my Bio)

Ritual:

Being the opposite concept of pieces like Tabla fantasy nr.1 and 2, "Ritual" is a steady groove, mixing acoustic and electronics in order to create hybrid textures.....as mentioned, steady grooves, BUT with some surprises in order to differentiate the machine from humans :)

As usual, try to hear with head/ear-phones (effects will be much more appreciated), and all is being played in one shoot (no sequences, no multi tracks, all played in real time --> it means i can play in live situations in real time).

Hope you enjoy it !! and waiting for your ideas as well !!
Looking forward to have your musical ideas using these drum songs (my email: gserranodg@hotmail.com)

Greetings !
Gonzalo

Distance has taken on new meanings.  For all the old meanings and the new…

UPDATE:  This was written a year ago, thinking of all the people who will be distanced during the Holidays.  In many parts of the world, the situation has returned to this again.  Thinking of all of you...

When I was a teenager I loved working in the garden of my father . It was a small vegetable garden, but in it, I learned the passion for life and for small daily satisfactions . The vegetable garden was at 21 a little way . That's why I'm 21 Hortus . Thanks for listening.
