Because Valentine's Day was yesterday, and today is today.  By Janine Levinson 2022.   **note - I made a mistake and used the phrase "coat of arms" when I meant "suit of armor." Wishful thinking with phrasing I think. Anyway, I like how it came out so I left it that way. You get the point of the song I hope <3

Everything Reminds Him of Her

He wants a whole new sky
He found the end of the stars
He stayed up all night long just looking

He needs a coat of arms 
Around his broken heart
To keep the pangs of love from shooting in

That’s because everything reminds him of her

He kept the car top down
And he just drove around
‘Cause there was her perfume on everything

He bought a brand new ride 
He put the Mustang down
Just for that new car smell of a Chevrolet

Because everything reminds him of her

Maybe if It’s always night 
Or maybe if I cross my eyes
Then you can steal away when I’m not looking
Or maybe make a deal with me 
And vanish from my memories
Just keep yourself away so I can face tomorrow’s

Brand new sky 
Featuring all new stars
He stayed up all night long just watching

And into a tiny hole 
Made in his coat of arms
Entered a spear of love just shooting in

And everything reminds him of her

Everything Reminds Him Of Her

MARS 21922 Remix Vox

Odd background here, something I came up with probably 40 years ago where I made an initial recording and just made up words off the cuff to record the song idea. Having listened to it all these years without ever crafting some more thought out lyrics, (I did an earlier version using the original base track here on SC about 9 years ago) I sort of got used to it and have grown to embrace the words as they came out. Somehow there is meaning to them I can relate to as I recall the time frame. So recently I did this version, sticking with the lyrics and adding some harmonies and simple mandolin accents. Hopefully some folks will relate.

Treasured Wounds
There's a neon sign blinkin
On the wrong side a town
It's an old lighthouse beacon
For lost soul's run aground
And they look at their live's
Like a vein that's been opened
And ya can't tell for sure
If their laughing or choakin

Some sit in silence
and stare off in space
And some holdin court
Tend to get in your face
But they all see themselves
Like a coin that's been tossed
And hope that their worth what they've lost

So turn back the clock
To back when it stopped
And we'll sing all our old favorite tunes
And resurrect kneel bow and gene-flecked
Before our most treasured of wounds

Now memories and shadows
grow long with the day
and come back to life
when night has it's way
And we're all old soldier's
we won the war
only to fall on our swords

Before our most treasured wounds
Before our most treasured wounds
And it takes one to know one down here

Deep In The Mountains  ( Naviarhaiku 537 )

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

Lyrics:

Empty rooms with no pockets
memories are broken
your stories written on wallpaper
the floor beneath your feet is ageing

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

You pick up sticks in your lounge room
the hollow walls leave you frozen
you won't hear a word they've spoken
can you hear it? can you hear it?

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

Four walls were not enough to hold you, windows are behind you
it calls, let the water fall around you and wrap it's arms around you

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

The Last Of Us
