A reflective tune- one might say.

Been writing about methane holes in the arctic and fascists but who needs more of that stuff ? Here's some old heart song instead.

A Hard Woman. ( Steve Killingbeck )

I started out with a piece of music that was calling out for some kind of change.
Michaels additions really gave the track the contrast it needed.
Thanks for listening.

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

Some months ago I've been paired with Geoff to compose a song based on his lyrics "I'm not angry". The lyrics were so well-phrased that I heard the stomping of an angry, but fierce woman who is going through a divorce. Alyssa did an awesome job getting into the character and her voice is perfect for that song. Originally composed on the guitar, I am happy that Albert joined our team. We really needed that dark vibe in between folk and blues.

==== LYRICS ====

You used to be grounded
You used to be whole
Knew where you were going
Hit all of your goals

I used to be happy
I used to be glad
Knew what I was doing
Was pleased what I had

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

We had a communion
We had a divorce
The pain and the pleasure
Took it’s own course

Down through the river
And out in the street
To wash over strangers
Shoes and their feet

But I’m not angry
About what used to be
Don’t seek retribution
Or shake you from your sanctuary

No I don’t care
For the love that’s been and gone
Cos a runaway train
Was waiting all along
Yes a runaway train
Was waiting all along

My amazing friend Jake passed away in May aged only 26. He was an amazing singer, poet and creative wizard. His parents recorded his heartbeat and asked for friends to compose music with it if they could. I will miss you always, Jake. Taken far too soon.  💕🎵

Thanks to my lovely Sander for mastering. ❤️

The Little Mermaid – The Shipwreck in the Storm 
September 2023
Duration: 2:00
Painting by Marie-Jose Payannet
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing The Little Mermaid Ballet January 2024 in Colorado.
On her 15th birthday, the Little Mermaid swam to the ocean surface. A large ship with three masts lay calmed on the water nearby.  The Little Mermaid swam close to the cabin windows and saw a number of well-dressed people within, among them was a young prince, the most beautiful of them all.... Soon, the waves rose high and heavy clouds darkened the sky: a dreadful storm was approaching. The waves rose high as mountains and the ship dived like a swan between them. At length, the ship groaned and creaked, the thick planks gave way under the lashing of the sea, the main mast snapped asunder like a reed and the ship lay over on her side, the water rushing in..... Paraphrased from "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen. 
For piano, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, tubular bells, timpani, virtual instruments, sound effects and percussion.
