WITHIN ME - lyrics

Memories sank in the past
I see them back right from the start
Was it beautiful  – beautiful
Was it too cynical - clinical
Was it me? me?

Memories until they last
See them all in a photograph
Was it beautiful – beautiful
Was it too cynical - critical
Was it me? me?

But some I have left still inside me
And in the steam that’s all around
They’re all the shadows that led me in a haze

High wind blowing head on screaming
Choosing me back from my dreams  
And from the memories that will remain within

Within me - me

Fields of Joy (with Hiroshi Kohno)

Fields Of Joy - cover - Aerogene070

Recently I got myself a CD Box containing the first 5 Molly Hatchet albums. Got inspired and tried to create a track with lots of guitars, playing in harmony. But wasn't satisfied with the result, so added an organ. Here's the result, hope you like it...

Whispers

Thanks to and inspiration from John Lennon's 1968 BBC interview at the National Theatre and the incredibly nostalgic poem 'I Remember, I Remember' by Thomas Hood.

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

If You Got Soul

Sing with me
I wanna be with you tonight
When I hear your voice
It's like thunder in the night

I've never fell so deep
So much that I can't breath

I think I'm hearing the calling of angels in my head
When you say my name
I never thought I'd be so quick to believe that
You were meant for me

There's no way I'm good enough for you
I need to hear that you want me soon
Don't forget me once you feel it too

Sing with me
I wanna be with you tonight
To keep on flying high

I've never fell so deep
So much that I can't breath

I think I'm hearing the calling of angels in my head
When you say my name
I never thought I'd be so quick to believe that
You were meant for me

There's no way I'm good enough for you
I need to hear that you want me soon
Don't forget me once you feel it too

| LYRICS |

I've got a girl who thinks it's Monday
Even when it's a blatant funday
Tried to help her to the next day
But her mind is made up now

Living your life, lost in your thoughts
Bracing yourself for the end of it all
Watching them grow, but then it thwarts
Falling on down, clutching our hearts

Hit the wall and bounce back laughing
You've got a girl that can't stand loving
Mind yourself you don't grow boring
One mistake can kill your daydreams

Falling like bombs, breaking new ground
Crushing our thoughts, of making it safe
Clutching at straws, minds are on edge
We're on a ride that never ends

Made a mistake, time to relate
All the things we did before
Crime to be quiet, making a riot
With all the pieces of our lives

Take your smile down, we're still here
Waiting for dawn that never comes
Hope we learn fast, or we wont last
This is not on, having a blast

Don't you know that, this our chance
To change mistakes, we made last fall
Reason says we're, the last of our kind
Now it's time, to ride our last horse

Go meet the girl that blows your mind now
It feels like the right thing for you to do
Go say what you want to make her want you
It can't be much worse than it was before
Go treat her like a proper lady
And not a vulgar stupid bore
Better cry with her when she's hurting
Don't make it worse than it was before

You made mistakes when you were hurting
But now it's time to mend them all
You broke each others hearts on impact
You never meant to make them sore

MISTAKES OF TODAY (feat. Tyrone The Man) - REMASTERED 2025

More than a chance that the castle will fall
 Bring on in the jester and that mean old troll
Put them all together and make them run
from the bridges and the moats 
just to have some fun

 A stir in a little of that witch’s brew
And a dandelion dipped in goblin’s stew
And pass it all off like a homemade crew
With butlers to wait on them hand and foot. 
 
 They belong they belong they belong but everyone else is melting
Melting
 
1% 1% 1% 1% is happy. 
Their Happy happy happy  you don’t care

you shouldn’t swear you try to care you but-it’s-just  so fucking disgusting

Never before have we ever seen        the greediest souls that have ever been
Laying existence in a coffin, for nothing more than a short term profit. 
Plenty of slime balls with greed to feed, how much money does one human
Need?

Avarice Is in the Air (PARENTAL ADVISORY)

I wake up with 
the birds and the breeze
and oh I see your clouds
and oh I see your clouds

I sing out 
but the words won't set me free
And you don't hear a sound
and you don't hear me

Left me in the sun spinning,
heart singing,
backed up brain from the 1980's
soul shaking
heart aching
hurts the same but I should know better

All that really hurts
All that really hurts

I get up like the sinner from his knees
Oh I dream out loud
Oh I dream

Left me with the soul shaking, 
heart aching,
backed up brains in the 1980's
Cold, make my heart break
I've so long shivers from the longest tide

All that really hurt
All that really hurts 
is left inside

Hey blackbird 
don't take flight
I need you here tonight
Don't run astray
Don't run astray

For my love burns like light
with seas of blue eyes bright
so break my heart all over again

Left me in the sun spinning,
heart singing 
backed up brain from the 1980's
Soul shaking
heart aching
hurts the same but I should know better

All I really love
All I really love
is left inside

Left me with the soul shaking
heart aching
backed up brain from the 1980's

Cold 
make my heartbreak
I've so long shivers like the longest time

Soul shaking 
heart aching
hurts the same but I should know better

Cold 
make my heart break
I've so long shivers from the longest tide

All I really love
All I really love

(All I seem to do
is fall back into you
All I seem to do is break my heart in two)

Break my heart all over again

this was one of the hardest songs to cover. i absolutely love the original and wanted to stay true to that energy but also wanted to change it up a bit and try to make it my own. ..and when i say 'a bit' i mean it. It's very similar to the original with some minor changes. let me know what you think. i'd love to hear some feedback.

Well you shine so bright
On the darkest night
Yeah, you're just like a satellite

I didn't want to see you go
I didn't want to feel you let go

Just wanna sit right next to you
Yeah, we'll count all the fire flies
You let me tell you my next big lie

I didn't want to see you go
I didn't want to feel you let go

I didn't want to see you go
We'll get higher
To get higher

Well you shine so bright 
Yeah, you're shining so bright
Yeah, you're just like a satellite

Berlin Wall

Thunder subsiding, a storm about to break
Waiting for the cloudburst, longing to awake
Every generation making its mistakes
There will come a big day
There will come a big day

Running down the avenues
The quiet city streets
Looking o'er your shoulder
Afraid of who you'll meet
With each denunciation
Betrayal is complete
There will come a big day
There will come a big day

Thunder subsiding, a storm about to break
Waiting for the cloudburst, longing to awake
Every generation has its choice to make 
There has come a big day
There has come a big day

Berlin wall

Para Lia - 'The Man Who Went Away'
words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

in his dreams
his little world was on fire
but he felt safe
in his hide-out

in the television news
he found his dreams come alive

the man at the look-out in his hide-out
says now's the time for me
i gotta get away
get away from here
 
the rythm of boots marching on the ground
kicks a pretty hole in his pretty cloud
he's gotta get away
get away from here

'cause what can you do
when you're always quiet never loud
when you think that you are just
a face in the crowd

the man at the look-out in his hide-out
says now's the time for me
i gotta get away
get away from here

the world you know dies from the inside out
the heavens gate is closed
gotta get away
get away from here

the man at the look-out in his hide-out
is always on the run
he's gotta get away
get away from here

he's looking for his island in the sun
the good old days are gone
he's gotta get away
get away from here

the man who went away is never done
in silence, always gone
he's gotta get away
get away from here
gotta get away

John Palmer + Spiralizer - Time Travellers

A song which uses words to induce impressions within the imagination, 
then describes the impressions musically to create a conundrum of meanings. (it's about Modern Life and the musical apocalypse of today)..!  Hopefully pleasurable to the listeners.!

04 Tantric Interlude Wav

This track is dedicated to the memory of Chris A and the time that was 'Elidor'. "I hope you are flying somewhere with that big grin on your face" 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This track was very much a collision of ideas. I wanted to follow on from The North Shore and actually take the listener into the air to experience the feeling and freedom of flying like a bird. Additionally the track title "Flight of Fancy" was the title of an original instrumental  played by a band I was in in the early 80's. The keyboard player in that band is sadly no longer with us, so I decided to try and reinvent the spirit of that time as a musical tribute to Chris.  

Enjoy your Flight of Fancy :-)

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

This track seemed to naturally evolve into three discrete sections with a different musical flavour to each part.

(i) Sunrise (0:00 - 0:58)
As the title suggests, it is my musical imagining of sunrise on the beach with all the grandeur of a new day dawning. A big orchestral sound and timpani seemed the way to go.

(ii) The Shoreline At Dawn (0:59 - 2:28)
Part Two has a much more muted sound as nature begins to stir with the dawn and musically this part acts as a linking section between parts one and three. 

(iii) Into The Air (2:29 - 6:42)
Finally we are into the air and I wanted to give a feeling of flying by the use of rising chords sequences and a string ostinato (a recurring rhythmic or melodic pattern). I also wanted to give a nod to the original Flight of Fancy so it has a variation of the main guitar riff I played back in the early 80's, some interwoven guitar and keyboard parts and harmony with underlying jazzy drum and bass parts.

Flight Of Fancy

A music hall experiment in 3/4 time waltz, drums in the style of Manic Depression by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, another poke at social conventions and my distaste for conformity...

Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly

Harriet's sister lives life wantonly
Uninvited attentions are welcomed with glee
But all eyes are on Etta 
For she's tres jolie
Oh they just can't see

They just can't see
Why?

To forget Sir Walpole Ratchett
You sit on your mother's casket
Drowning droplets of green pleasure 
With Earl Grey tea

Wilhelmina declines ooh la la
Attending occasions 
With perfect sang froid
But they all laugh with Etta
For she's fancy free
So what about thee?

They just can't see...
Why?
 
To forget their expectations 
Of class and society
You decline to entertain 
Any notion of propriety

Portrait of absent mine dead Polly
Where did you go?

They just can't see.

Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly

Wrapped up in the sun
Waving from this sinking ship
So bored with having fun
The captain makes a mess of it
He tosses a loaded gun
To the proletariat
Donald duck duck goose step and run
Now you got the hang of it 
Where have all the hippies gone?
Counterfeits and hypocrites
Now we all fall down
How could this ever happen?

This is not my scene
Keep it nice and clean
Just a broken dream
I once believed 
Life is for the young
Spring is for the sprung
Put it on your tongue
And you will see

A tingle in my toes, feel it in my bones
Smell it in my nose, I know
Our plans won’t be changing  
Waving from this sinking ship
Feel it in my chest, deep within my breast 
What a fuckin’ mess, I guess 
We’re damned, not worth saving 
Waving from this stinking ship

Full sail ahead
We’re at the edge of Mercator maps
Better learn to tread 
Beyond the point of turning back
Someone found the captain dead  
Its seems he’s had a heart attack
And we all fall down
How could this ever

A tingle in my toes, feel it in my bones
Smell it in my nose, I know
Our plans won’t be changing  
Waving from this sinking ship

Feel it in my chest, deep within my breast 
What a fuckin’ mess, I guess 
We’re damned, not worth saving 
Waving from this stinking ship

Open the door, get on the floor

Open the door, get on the floor

Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur

Requiem

Est-ce un signe
signe de croix
une croix sur qui sur quoi ?

Rires volés en éclats.
Evaporées les larmes à l'œil.
Pétrifiées les lèvres sèches.

Remember my lips are dead
I've nothing to do with love
Promises always break down

Requiem
dernière messe en hommage à nos promesses.
Requiem
dernière messe à la mémoire de nos promesses.

Est-ce ainsi ? Ne
vit que l'effroi
perdue la foi.

Rendu ton dernier sourire
Et perdu ton dernier regard
Pendu ton dernier baiser.

Remember, I'm your forgetfulness
I'm your illusion of death
Promises are falling now.

Ainsi soit-il
– si je te crois –

Rassis / our hope of tomorrow
Emmurés / our poor cracked hearts (nos pauvres cœurs fissurés)
Putréfiées / our damned souls

Rest in peace / Repose-moi
In a deep sleep / Endors-moi
Push hell's door / Pour en finir

Collaborations II

Nothing To Show For It (Bensingermusic Collaboration)

Rudi (F.R. Kniel) approached me a couple of weeks ago with a story of Jeremiah,a young man made to go to war for his country. The experience left him dehumanised and bitter for what he had lost.
His actions during the conflict also left him unable to forget,heal or move on with his life.

Then he met Emily and everything changed,she became the catalyst for his recovery. So in some ways Jeremiah regained his faith and realised Heaven is where you find it.

I found Rudi's synth lines to be very moving in conjunction with the storyline,so his instrumental base allowed me very quickly to fashion a song which I hope captures Rudi's initial idea,even though the lyric is very comprised from the original text.

The song lyric relates the story from Jeremiah's perspective.

He's a real gentleman to work with,so the whole project was a stress free joy. Find Rudi's music here.

When your country calls
You must go to war
That's when you find for sure
Just who you are

Oh the things we had to do
To our fellow man
I'd love to forget it all
But I don't know if I can

Need someone to rescue me
Show me the way
Restore my faith again
Can't bear this pain
Another day

She saw me cry and held my hand
Took away the pain
Made me feel that I could be
A real man,once again.

Now the nightmares fade away
She gently helps me stand
My eyes are open,now I see
Now I understand

Just me and Emily
That's all it takes
I'll be here each morning time
I'll be right here
When she wakes

My Parallel Universe (Three Photons Oct 2018)
Written in C# Phyrgian mode. Cheers, TJG. 

it's a parallel universe
it's what I believe
you and I staring out at space
you're staring back at me

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

I think I was shaken 
by the light in your eyes
I must have been taken
for a beautiful ride

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!


it's a parallel universe


It's a parallel universe
it's what i believe
you and I staring out at space
you're staring back at me


we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

just to find you

just to find you

The sunshine and the flowers  
The earth’s fine, so am I
It’s my time, idyll hours      
As clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky                     

The crow flies over gardens          
In my mind, so do I
As spring morphs into summer 
And clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky                     

The tall grass is a mattress 
The stars will sleep tonight
The minutes morph to hours 
As the time goes quickly by
And melts into the sky

The cotton and sugar sky

The sunshine and the flowers
The earths fine so am i
It’s our time, idyll hours
And clouds drift slowly by
The cotton and sugar sky.    
(It’s our time)

Para Lia - 'Leaves Of Grey'
words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

'hope is a waking dream'
aristotle said
sailing through the waves of time
'i have to keep my eyes closed'
the smart politician regrets: 
'these are hard times'
 
on the eternal chessboard
young soldiers are marching on
where a hundred armies have fed the ground
while an army of selfie sticks
is floating pretty ancient stones

and the leaves of grey
are sealing the stained marble plates
are weaving a winding sheet
when the wisdom goes to seed

'hope is a waking dream'
aristotle said
'and don't forget that history
repeats itself,
you fools'

and the leaves of grey
are sealing the stained marble plates
are weaving a winding sheet
where the wisdom goes to seed

they are hiding the inscriptions on the philosopher's stone
they are caressing the kings and queens ashes and bones
and the leaves of grey
are floating down to cover the remains of what we think is our eternal flame

at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

Just you and me

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

THERE'S SOMEDAY'S IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WANNA RUN AWAY AND HIDE
THE FALLING SKY IS UPON YOU

I'M TRAVELING IN A LONELY RIDE
SOMETHINGS GONNA MAKE ME CRY
I WISH A LITTLE LONGER I HAD YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

ALL THE BETTER DAY'S AHEAD
THE CLEARING SKY IT SAYS
EVERY SINGLE DAY IS ALL SO NEW

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM LOVE
EVERYONE DESERVES JUST ONCE
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR
(break)

IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO START
SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

THE WISH

Down The Line (Original)

Sunday morning(Bossa Nova cover)-Miki Teramae

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
