Paying attain to tempo ?? nay , paying attain to key ??? nay .... playing by the conventional rules .... Thrice nay .... ha ha La La ....  what is it that floats our cosmobile and spaceboat ??? R :) x

@user-626511615: thank you .... Idea conceived by my teasing online bandmate / partner ( La Lisa Magdaleno) and I add the tum tee tums etc . Greetings from Scotland . Russell :) \

This song was written for anyone who is not able to be with the one they love. Being at a distance from a special someone means you have to find ways to stay in touch.

thanks to primcron 100 for writing the instrumental and asking me to sing on it.  The original title was cyber mile and that is how I got the idea for the lyrics. I thought of a couple in love who had to be in a long distance relationship

I wrote and recorded this over a year ago when we were still in lockdown so it really helped me to imagine what this would be like for such a couple.

be sure to support the version my collaborator put out which has over 2200 plays :)

« Yuki - Alto flute part » for Alto Flute in G and Piano/Organ (New recording in 2023)

Here is a link to the youtube video for the song! https://youtu.be/sXd5B2iSWck
I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Originally the title was Epicurus. Then I put it in the drawer for a while and now I took it out again. After 
I reworked the song, it was supposed to be called "Vernissage des Epikur". After I was allowed to participate in a vernissage two weeks ago, I shortened the title. I think the song reflects very well what I was allowed to experience as a photographer on the evening of the vernissage.

Ursprünglich hieß der Titel Epikur. Dann hab ich ihn eine weile in die Schublade gesteckt und jetzt wieder rausgeholt. Nach dem ich den Song überarbeitet hatte, sollte er zunächst "Vernissage des Epikur" heissen. Nachdem ich vor zwei Wochen selber an einer Vernissage teilnehmen durfte, habe ich den Titel gekürzt. Ich finde der Song spiegelt sehr gut wieder was ich als Fotograf am Abend der Vernissage erleben durfte.

LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

Happy New Year 2023 to everyone.
