so true what an insight into the human mind. great tune as well. ;-) Johnny

Such a powerful mix of spoken word and music. Some of the ideas are prophetic for 1959. Thanks for sharing this work

Wonderful musical accompaniment on this.... war seems inevitable as ignorance blooms and disperses itself as hate and anger....

Hey you guys, this is wonderful. Love Carl Jung. This is very creative and exciting the way you set it to that really ethereal music. Awesome work, you two!

Written for songwriting contest, w/theme the Santa Fe River in n. Florida. Translations..."Timucuan": native people in n FL at time of Spanish Conquest.  "Cracker Cowboys": colloquial name for cattlemen who herded wild cattle north during the Civil War.  "O'leno town": ghost town on the Santa Fe, a swinging bridge built in the 1930's is still there.  

Roll On, River   c. 2023 by Mike Manetz

V. 1
The river was Timucuan,
Before the comin' of the white-man's gun.
'Neath the giant cypress trees,
They fished the river wild and free.
Spanish priests came one day,
Taught the natives how to pray,
Named the river Santa Fe,
River watched them fade away.

Chorus
Roll on, river,
On and on forever,
She'll be rollin' on when we're all passed and gone.
Through centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
Roll on, river,
Roll on,
River, roll on...

V2
Cracker cowboys took control,
After driving out the Seminole.
Their cattle on the muddy banks,
Would feed the hungry rebel ranks.
Black man runnin' to be free, 
Down the Santa Fe on to the sea.
Midnight paddle down to where,
A Yankee gunboat's waitin' there.

Chorus

V 3  
Lovers at O'Leno town,
On a swingin' bridge they're lookin' down,
River rushes there below,
Like a thousand years ago.
Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
But the river holds the memories,
Of all she touches, all she sees...

Chorus




Their kids will play computer games,
They'll forget the history and the names,
Of all of those who came before,
Guess it doesn't matter anymore...

Centuries of hopes and dreams,
Conquistadors, fools and thieves,
All they left is all but washed away,
Their kids will play computer games,
And forget the history and the names,
of all of those who came before,
They don't care much for that anymore...

Roll On, River

---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

Thank you to everyone on here that has listened and commented on my random music over the years! It encourages me to keep being weird in a world full of polished music and expectations. Enjoy this  small selection of the hundreds of songs that are slowly degrading on my hard drive. But don’t worry I’m always working on more :) Thanks for seeing the value of music! Stay creative <3

The dialogue featured here is from an interview with Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung in 1959. The interviewer asks Jung whether he believes there will be a Third world war.

I find it fascinating when words spoken long ago resonate with the world today.

This laid back song takes its course without many surprises, just like a afternoon where you have nothing specific to do. Your mind wanders around from here to there, not really resting on a specific topic but without haste thinking about this and that.

Compositionwise: Most of the song plays with a delay of an eigth beat between the left and the right hand. Typically, the right hand follows the left hand thus creating a relaxed and laid back feeling. However, at times, the delay when playing shifted quarter beats in the left and right, leads to the music sounding more agitated though both hands have actually relatively slow metrums. (e.g. @ 0.35 or @ 1:20). The main motive arrives three times in the song in different variations with a relatively long (@ 1:10-@ 2:40) middle part that touches on  prelude-like as well as song-like elements. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase relatively puristically by just adding  reverb and fiddling a bit with the EQ. I currently find that other effects such as Compressor or Stereo Enhancer do not necessarily improve the sound. But might change that opinion again when I gain more experience ... :-)

Coney Island Day
by Nadia Selvaggi

Let's get away!
The city's heat is driving us insane
The Grand Street hydrant has run dry
The air conditioner doesn't run on high
The Q train's only half an hour away

Ah, Coney Island day!

Feel the cool breeze in the sky,
a hundred feet up on high
The Wonder Wheel and Cyclone
are guaranteed to electrify

Where umbrellas dot the shoreline,
the sun burns under rainbow skies,
and kites swirl like ribbons in the sky,
just like my spirit does today

Let's take a holiday!

At Surf & Stillwell down the boardwalk,
we'll eat a Famous Nathan's hotdog,
play a game of volleyball,
ride in a bumper car and stay late,
and watch the fireworks display

We'll stroll down Riegelmann Boardwalk,
and take the rides at Luna Park,
eat candy apples and popcorn,
Totonno's pizza coal fired
on a mid summer day

We'll take a little holiday,
west of Ocean Parkway
Feel our troubles fade away
in Brooklyn's little hideaway

Ah, Coney Island Day!

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
