"For All We Know" is a song published in 1934, with music by J. Fred Coots and lyrics by Sam M. Lewis. 

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

[Verse 2: Donny Hathaway]
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples of a stream

So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

For All We Know. Aleck Rand and Oddrun Eikli

Undiscovered track by Rick Astley, now discovered and no longer undiscovered. Discover for yourself the discovery of the year, the original techno tune that ended up being hidden away, only to be covered many years later by a girl band.

Not true of course! This is obviously not Rick Astley.  This is a track I made using the Yamaha Tyros 5 following the chords of Right Now by Atomic Kitten.  I overlaid with their vocal track, pitchbent it by 6 notes and proved once and for all the 80s theory that if you slow down any female singer they turn into Rick Astley. Just for fun. Hope you enjoy it.

'Rick Now' - Rare, unreleased Rick Astley prototype.

A little fun trip into the past - blues is the roots.

Organ, bass, drums - Aleck Rand (USA)
Guitar - Axel Weiß (Germany)

Singer and composer Blossom Deary always makes me smile.
There are so many things to worry about, but here is a musically hopeful smile in November darkness.
Inspired by Blossom :)
Margrethe Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist.

When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
Though now I'm much more grown up
I fear that I must own up
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
What the modern cynics shout of

They say it's spring
This feeling light as a feather
They say this thing
This magic we share together
Came with the weather too

They say it's May
That's made me daft as a daisy
It's May, they say
That gave the whole world this crazy
Heavenly, hazy hue
I'm a lark On the wing
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
Yet to me
This must be
Something more than a seasonal thing

Could it be spring
Those bells that I can hear ringing
It may be spring
But when the robins stop singing
You're what I'm clinging to
Though they say it's spring It's you

If poets sing
That when a hard sympathetic
It's merely spring
Then poets plights are pathetic
Though I'm poetic too T

hey say it's spring
For lovers, there's where the lure is
That evil thing
For which September the cure is
This, they are sure is true
Though I know
That it's so
That my fancy may turn in the spring
With the right One in sight
One can find a perpetual thing

Did I need spring
To bring the ring that you bought me
Though it was spring
That wondrous day that you caught me
Darling I thought we knew
That it wasn't spring 'Twas you

Cold Call
