Very elegant work with fine orchestration!

The wind in Kävlinge

I would imagine the life of a Werewolf must be tough, relying on a full moon to have the strength to go out and get a good meal. I had no idea what this song was about until I finished it. Second tune with a vocal. I hope you enjoy it.

No Moon

A little piece, sort of dedicated to castle in the sky

He'll Be Yours Before You Know

Lyrics: Andrea Brennan
Music, vocals and production: Amanda Marie

That first glance you see him smile
You start to feel the butterflies
Hold his eyes, the die is cast
Linger there, don't move too fast

He'll be yours before you know
The chase in on
But take it slow
Tension builds
So let it grow
And he'll be yours before you know
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
He'll be yours before you know

Love's a game of subtle clues
Hold your own, he'll come to you
Take his hand as he says hello
Linger there, as desires flow

He'll be yours before you know
The chase in on
But take it slow
Tension builds
So let it grow
And he'll be yours before you know
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
He'll be yours before you know

Solo/break

That first kiss before you rise
You see the love that's in his eyes
A lifetime has come to pass
You linger there, let the moment last

Yours Before You Know (2024 FAWM collab with Amanda Marie)

Piano ballad pro demo with session vocals. My lyrics and music, copyright Jay Rich 2024. The second title, Pro Patria Mori, refers to the Wilfred Owen poem Dulce et Decorum Est (it is sweet and right) Pro Patria Mori (to die for one's country). Owen took the line from the Roman poet Horace and quite rightly called it 'the old lie'. These are Owen's (a sad casualty, dying just a week before Armistice) unsentimental words:

My scathing lyrics below:

The Aggrieved Dead/Pro Patria Mori

V1:

Suppose for just a moment
That heaven's truly real
And the dead could all come back
To tell us how they feel

V2:

Especially those fallen
In the two world wars
What would long lost soldiers
Say to mine and yours

Lift:

I can see the warning signs:
What they'd make of modern times
Maybe they could offer us advice

Ch1:

Would they say we died for you
And this is all that you can do
Most of us were way too young
To lose our unlived lives by brutal tank and gun
You stab each other in the street
Your standards are down at your feet
And what it feels like watching you
Is that the sharpest knife has run our hearts right through

*****Break*****

Bridge:

So yes we're really well aggrieved
Like we've been meanly deceived:
Signing up for King and country
Fighting for our peace and freedom
Nothing much has come of it
Nor will, nothing's right or fit
Broken Britain, you ain't kidding
Now we're cynical and bitter
There was no real point in winning
Save to check the long-gone threat of Hitler

Ch2:

Would they all say we died in vain
'Cause there ain't been no worthwhile change
So many young are feral thugs
Who waste their money, get blind drunk, and take hard drugs
As adults you got no real sense:
You just go starting wars again
So if we could turn back time
We'd surely never ever face that firing line

Outro:

Owen's moving poems
Said we suffered such indignity
Pro patria mori - the lie:
For this land we'd never die
How we wish we'd done things differently
So differently, so differently, so differently
