Marching Into The Sunset (Ft Erin Jennifer, 2024)

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

This track is a little nuts.....

If you've ever battled a raccoon, this is the song for you, sung from the perspective of the perpetrator. Raccoons are wily little buggers and more than a little guile is needed to control the movements of an animal that has been trapped in a cage before.

Debated with myself a bit on adding more instruments and sounds but in the end decided that less was more. The "rhythm guitar" is a distorted saturated synth and the "lead" is a Logic Pro Heavy Metal guitar manipulated with the pitch stick on my synth. The difficult part was getting the swing on the drums right and the ADSR right on the main synth, modulation and LFO. Also played a bit with the compression to get a breathing sound.

About the raccoon - that battle is ongoing - physical deterrence is now in place.

The raccoon, also spelled racoon and sometimes called the common raccoon or northern raccoon to distinguish it from the other species, is a mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in), and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. The animal's most distinctive features include its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are common themes in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas surrounding the species. The raccoon is noted for its intelligence, and studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates. [Wikipedia]

NEVER LOSE

Keep on coming back
Doesn’t really matter 
Spicy red American 
Coyote piss whatever

Turn up the volume
Tie up the bait 
Bag it all, close the door
I don’t give a damn

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know what’s down under
I know what you’re trying to hide

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

Keep on coming back
Never ever mattered
Inca mountain flake 
Apple cider try

Play rock’n’roll
Talk show or news
Heard it all before
Kinda like it now

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

Time is on my side
Time is my legal guardian

Find another way
Find your hidden weakness 
Seen you from above
You can try again
All over and again

Keep on coming back
Its never gonna matter
Flashing disco lights
I’ll do a pirouette

Put a ring on it
I’ll go left or right
I’m coming down
I got you number

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know where you live
I know when you’re asleep

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose
I never lose
I never lose
I never lose

Keep on
Keep on coming back
Keep on
Keep on coming back

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose

Never Lose

Je ne sais rien d’autre l’invisible envie
Une vie d’apôtre à l’âme endurci
Toujours l’un sans l’autre dans les longues nuits
Pour un ailleurs teinté de poésies

Refuges du temps 
Refuges un moment

Aller l’un vers l’autre le plus doucement
Soulevant l’air et l’eau devant
Les paquets de sels et d’embruns
Le coeur libre et l’âme envahi

C’est une juste cause
C’est une ligne
Les métamorphoses
De l’oubli

Il n’y a pas autre chose
Les erreurs sont enfouis
Dans les sources chaudes
De nos souffles de vie

Nos Refuges

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE JOY NO MORE PAIN OUT OF SIGHT
SITTING IN MY GARDEN, MAN, A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
PLENTY OF SUSPENDED TIME ON MY HANDS
NOW I’M HERE HERE AND NOW
THAT’S WHERE I STAND
ROCKING IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
MADE OF AIR

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE BALLS NO MORE CHAIN WELL ALRIGHT
SIPPING AT MY ICE COOL BEER THE ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NEVER MIND THE BITTER END IN THE END
NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
NOW I’M HERE 
AND HERE TO STAY
CHECKING THE PALM OF MY HAND
MADE OF SAND

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS


NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
AND HERE I AM
HERE COMES THE CHILL OF THE FALL
MADE OF GOLD

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
WITH A BROKEN HEART TO MEND 
AND A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NOW I’M HERE

THE ROBIN (Lyrics)

Elderly old men in the nursing home having teenage styled crushes on the nursing staff.
From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Makes this old man think about his younger times

I hear that cart coming down the hallway
With those pills 
All lined up in a row
I see you moving to that Top 40 song
And where she takes me
You know I want to go

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man dream about his Summertime

You wheel me to my physical rehabilitation
You make me feel exhilaration
The Doctors say:
"You need to keep your blood pressure down"
Down! Down! Down!
I hear that cart rolling down the hall
I see her moving and grooving
To a Top 40 song
When I see her my heart sings along
"wherever you take me, you know I want to go"

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man think about his younger times
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!

Nurse Felicia

Wrote the title phrase on a birthday card and immediately thought  that's a 'song title'.  The first take of the vocal was a loose ramble but I just left it in - it seemed to fit.

Love Our Together Life

That cliché thick and thin about loving all the time
We’re not vascillating over always gotta rhyme
Doubling up in laughter keeps an even keel
And getting to a sweet spot finally it’s real

We drove out to the cliff and back
Now it’s all about giving back

It’s life upon a road with little jobs to do
And a race across the sand to share the view
It’s pouring out the drinks as the sun dips down 
And talking ‘bout the people who we see around 
Love our together life
Love our together life

Back in days of war it was tight in the lip
And the putting up of walls with a face half lit
Cause expectations could never be met
And it takes a lot of years to wind it back to less 

Yeah giving up on hurt and feeling how it was
In the years embryonic burning hot
And the psyche bathed in the songs of the time
But transplanting now to a wiser kind of rhyme

When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Lyrics:

I am so tired, can't get no sleep
Counting sheep, trying to read
But nothing seems to help
So I lie here wide awake...

Mmmm

I don't know why sleep won't come
Am I thinking too much?
Is there something wrong?
My mind is spinning
While I'm lying in bed
Maybe I should just get up instead...?

Mmmm

I'll take some whiskey, maybe that helps..
Empty the glass, goes back to bed 
Oh, I am so tired, I just want to sleep
My head needs a break
Why am I still awake?

Mmmm

I try again, closing my eyes
Thinking of you, the good things you do
With a smile on my face I turn off the light
Maybe I can sleep now?
Well, goodnight.....

Mmmm

Goodnight....

Goodnight?  (Original)

WHO NEEDS A FANFARE
IN A FANCY BAR
YOU CAN DRIVE QUITE FAR
IN AN RUSTY OLD CAR
I AM ANIMAL
I GO MINIMAL
THE ALLIGATOR WAY

I GROW BY THE LIGHT
WHETHER DIM OR BRIGHT
IN A SILLY TRY
TO REACH THE SKY
I AM VEGETABLE
I GO MINIMAL 
THE POISON IVY WAY

ROCKY AS A TOAD
CARVED ALONG THE ROAD
A BOULDER OF OLD
A NUGGET OF GOLD
I AM MINERAL
I GO MINIMAL
DOING IT MY WAY

THE LARGER THE CROWD
THE FURTHER I STAY AWAY
THE MORE THE TALK GETS LOUD
THE LESS I HAVE TO SAY
I’M NO WATERFALL
I GO MINIMAL
THE MISSISSIPI WAY

THE MISSISSIPPI WAY (Lyrics)

Lyrics

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star the arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the Moon.

A beutiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot fallingdown.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
