Rome
By David Husted
JAN 2022
V1
I didn’t give a damn
About that boogey man
He's on the tv screen
And deep inside Wuhan

				(instr)  
									 
But he got out.    
Of that; there's no doubt
Then he pulled a fast one, and snuck on an airplane 
Then Rome came down

Pre ch
Ah………
Then Rome Came Down

Ch.
COVID-19
COVID-19

V2
Don't mince words with me
He's the enemy
Go wash your hands, don’t touch your face, cough in your elbow
Give me FUCKING 6 feet

Don't Panic!, run!, run!, run!, Don't Panic!, run!, run!, run!

Bridge
Why?..............

My next song in the queue will be called "Rome". Some of you may have heard a demo version of this already. I first became aware of COVID-19 when it hit Italy. The slow looming cloud of its potential impact crept into my skull at that point and, despite my best efforts, it sneaked into a song. Since we are largely past the worst of this storm, I feel better about letting my song go.

Well; this is about COVID-19. Hopefully by the time you are hearing this the Pandemic will be largely over (cross fingers) and the ordeal just bitter memory deep in our mind vaults.   I could not release this during that crazy time period precisely because I felt too close to it.  However, it was the song that arrived at that time and I believe I am ready to share it with you now.   

I felt the virus as a boogey man underneath my bed (like when you were a kid).  Parents said he's not real yet the hairs on the back of my neck raised up anyway.  The 6 ft distance became a symbol for separation and mandated "sheltering in place"  Zombiehood distancing from human warmth.  I am an introvert by nature so this separation was probably not good for me on the whole.  My immediate family helped to save me on a daily basis just by being themselves.   Thank You.

There is a fair bit of fear and pleading laced throughout the song.  It is not cheery (sorry about that) but it is a cool song none-the-less and captures the essence of my mood during this time.    Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

I Still Have Hope

In the cuckoo cell, life was all but well
I could hardly tell why I've fallen dead-alive, dead-alive
So much show and tell, hard explaining tale
Bread crumbs on the trail of my fading spotlight, it's dim tonight
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Hey, hey, hey
I'm a little strange, strange, strange
I know I'm not sane, sane, sane
Tell me it's okay
Hey, hey, hey
From this ounce of pain, pain, pain
Comes this sense of shame, shame, shame
Tell me it's okay
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
In the cuckoo cell (x4)
If the truth would be told from these lies, getting old
In a world full of full of shame / Spread the lies, game you play
Ah yeah
See no gain but there's pain / Bleeding out, claim to fame
If the truth would be told from these lies, getting old
In the cuckoo cell (x4)
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Hey, hey, hey
I'm a little strange, strange, strange
I know I'm not sane, sane, sane
Tell me it's okay
Hey, hey, hey
From this ounce of pain, pain, pain
Comes this sense of shame, shame, shame
Tell me it's okay
---------------------------------------
I know, I know, oh
----------------------------------------
In the cuckoo cell, life was all but well
I could hardly tell why I've fallen dead-alive, dead-alive
So much show and tell, hard explaining tale
Bread crumbs on the trail of my fading spotlight, it's dim tonight

"Winter in the City of Vancouver": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

Hello people. I had a lot of requests about Ukraine and war in the last days. I have talked to many people here on Soundcloud and other social media and listened to their worries and fears. For this reason I decided to make a statement and say stop the war. My sympathy and sorrow goes to the Ukrainian people

Hallo Leute. Ich hatte in den letzten Tagen sehr viele Anfragen zum Thema Ukraine und Krieg. Ich habe mit vielen Leuten hier auf Soundcloud und andern Sozialen Medien gesprochen und mir ihre Sorgen und Ängste angehört. Aus diesem Grund habe ich beschlossen, ein Zeichen zu setzen und zu sagen: Stoppt den Krieg. Mein Mitgefühl und meine Trauer gilt dem ukrainischen Volk


Привіт, люди. За останні кілька днів у мене було багато запитів про Україну та війну. Я спілкувався з багатьма людьми в Soundcloud та інших соціальних мережах і вислухав їхні занепокоєння та страхи. Тому я вирішив зробити заяву і сказати «Зупинити війну». Моя співчуття і смуток йдуть до українського народу

"The threat" "La Menace"

Instrumental Jazzy tune 

In 2022, when the whole world should be concerned about 
the state of the planet, the simple madness of a man makes us fall 
into horror and destruction.

En 2022, alors que le monde entier devrait se préoccuper de l'état 
de la planète, la simple folie d'un homme nous fait basculer 
dans l'horreur et la destruction.

The Threat

If It Be Your Will (Leonard Cohen Cover)

Do It

This song is about a drifter who roles into ghost town where he sees shadows silhouette of people from a long time ago. He thinks that they are real and experiences an evening of southern hospitality that includes a bottle of bourbon whisky. It's when he wakes up in the morning that he thinks if it was all in his head....Were they just visions he had in that ghost town. The deeper meaning to the song is that we live in a world we think is real, formed by our experiences and influenced by the environment. However, there may come a time when we wake up to the reality as it really is. Life is formed around ghosts and sillouettes who can influence our behaviour. As Marcus Aurelius once words are opinions not facts....or in the modern era....wake up and taste the coffee.

Lyrics: 
The tumbleweed roles down a dusty boardwalk
In a ghost town in New Mexico
Shadows silhouette in the evening sun
Of people from a long time ago
As the moon rises on the horizon
A drifter rides in. You could tell where he’s been
After days on the road feeling saddle sore
All he could think “I need a cool drink.
I need a good woman and more”.

There was southern hospitality he’d never seen before
They welcomed him into the local bar
With a bottle of bourbon and a home cooked meal
He felt like a movie star. 
Soon the bottle was dry 
His head rolled back, and he closed his eyes
Few have walked in the drifter’s shoes
He’d crossed many lines so many times 
Life could be good to a few.

Well, the mist fell down on the old ghost town
As he closed his eyes and fell asleep
It’s more than in his head
It’s more than what he thought and said- skin deep

The drifter he woke on the morning sunrise
He turned and opened his eyes
Looking through the haze of an empty glass
He saw to his surprise
The bar was empty, not a soul in sight
He raised to his feet then looked down the street
He was on his own felt shivers to his bones
Was it all in his mind? Was it all in his head?
Were they visions he had in that ghost town?

One thousand miles from Texas

SOMETIMES FAST, SOMETIMES SLOW
ALL THE TIME THERE IS NO WHERE TO GO
SOMETIMES UP, ONLY LOOKING DOWN
ALL MY LOVE HAS NOW HIT THE GROUND

MAY'BE I COULD FIND, ANOTHER WAY
MAY'BE I COULD TRY, ANOTHER DAY
MAY'BE I COULD FIND,
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU

SITTING LONELY, WHAT TO DO
THINK I'LL GO BUY SOME FANCY SHOES
I'M IN THE LIGHT, NEVER FELT BEFORE
CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE EVEN HIT THE FLOOR

MAY'BE I COULD FIND, ANOTHER WAY
MAY'BE I COULD TRY, ANOTHER DAY
MAY'BE I COULD FIND,
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU

MAY'BE I COULD FIND, ANOTHER WAY
MAY'BE I COULD TRY, ANOTHER DAY
MAY'BE I COULD FIND,
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU
ANOTHER WAY WITH YOU

SOMETIMES FAST, SOMETIMES SLOW

SOMETIMES UP, ONLY LOOKING DOWN
ALL MY LOVE HAS NOW HIT THE GROUND

MAY'BE I COULD FIND, ANOTHER WAY

YOU LEAD ME AWAY, TO THE SKY
I'M FEELING FREE, AND SO ALIVE
TO HIT ME DOWN, IT'S SO SLOW

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE IN THE SKY
ALWAYS GOT YOU ON MY MIND

NO HELP FOR ME, I'M ALL ALONE
THE CHANCE I TAKE, I'M NOT AFRAID
A WAY OF LIFE, IT'S NOT FOR FREE

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE, AN ALIBY
ANOTHER STORY WILL GET YOU BYE
(break)
GET ME OUT, OF THIS COLD
I'M MISSING MY, GREATEST FEAR
DON'T LET ME GO, GOT FALLING TEARS

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
READY OR NOT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE IN THE SKY
ALWAYS GOT YOU ON MY MIND

sometime we have to face the fact
we are not getting any younger

I'M ALIVE

WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
HOW COULD THIS BE
…..HAPPENIN’ TO ME?
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
…….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
A TIRE BLEW OUT 
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL
TO CALL OUT FOR HELP 
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN
AS THEY DROVE ON BY
(CHORUS )
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
NO HELP IN SIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(BRIDGE AND OUT)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD 
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH…. BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)
(CHORUS)
