The Major Arcana

Steve asked me if I would like to make some additions to his song and this is the result! It's got a nice laid back groove, and the extract from St Pauls letter to the Corinthians is a philosophy that we should all live by : )

This upload is a bit different. I made this song with my wife - It is sung in English and Korean. A happy child like summer song to cheer us all on through any difficulties. We made this little song for her Korean online community, and for everyone who suffers from dyshidrosis. 

My wife used to suffer a lot from this skin disease until she learned to live with it well and has almost no symptoms anymore.  Many years ago she created a Korean support space  for people who suffer from this condition.   She managed this community unsalaried all this time until now. I could not be more proud of her!

Lyrics:

Wake Up - did you hear the news?
All your cats have left without a trace
Wake Up - Don't you be confused
Surely they just found a better place

Summer's coming back again
But it's nothing like the last year
Someone tell the birds to tune it down
Summer's coming back again
But it's nothing linke the last year
Please don't let the sun disturb my frown


Wake Up, did you hear the news?
All your friends have joined the other side
Wake up, don't you be confused
In a year or two you will be fine
I cannot do anything if you are not around me
All I ever needed was your smile
I cannot do anything if you are not around me
All I ever needed was your smile

Cats Have Left (feat. Hyekyoung)

Inspired by the travelogue "Far and Wide" by Neil Peart.  And helped home by Thomas Hardy's "Drummer Hodge".

Drummer

If you see our drummer, could you tell him we’re about to go on stage?
And, if you see our drummer, could you tell him?  Could you tell him?

So you’re gonna take yourself out of the game
Your route map unveils
Less-travelled dirt trails
They hold a better claim

Wow!  Scooting round the venue on your roller skates
Think you’d agree though
Be your own hero
Tie courage to the gates

How?  From behind the mask of Buffy Sainte-Marie
To breach the backline
For this one last time
On your metric century

Now, like young Hodge he rests under the plain
The pain that Bubba knew
The meaning of the Broad Karoo
Where strange constellations reign

Binge biking with Michael
On your touring motorcycle
You’re no one’s disciple

If you see our drummer
Could you tell him that we miss him every day?

Drummer

Spacing Time

Claps In A Hovel

Dream Within A Dream

Simple translation:

We try anyway

We're sitting here
and can only
wait for the darkness to come

Most things are withered
and cold but sometimes
the clouds burst open and release the sun

But sometimes
everything turns gray
and the rain it hastens
hurried past


Sometimes the wind
is so hard that
we can barely walk but we try anyway

between winds, around trees
through the mist, among the leaves
we slowly crossing the street

But sometimes
everything becomes quiet
and the days are 
wandering around

Vi försöker ändå

Försöker ändå

words and music K Gennery
written and recorded 2017 when a Real Christmas was possible.

Its Christmas time dont drink no more falling down wine.
Or the bells will be in your head and not from the sleighs outside.
Its Christmas time, no snow but rain with a little shine
and you will still be mine this Christmas.

See the proud smile of everyman, around him gather his family clan.
He carves he saws but the knifes real blunt, he feels a bit of a silly.....one ;)
Then somebody will say what we all know that a woman is the heartbeat of every home.
Shes worked shes slaved for this one day and when its all done they all walk away.
With a sink full of washing up and a distant cry of mum thanks alot
its a real Christmas its a real Christmas.

The tvs on and the snorings already begun, but theres games to be used
to keep the children amused.
With choccies in one hand oh reluctantly some stand
and make their way to the table to play.

It warms the cockles of ones heart to witness three generations taking part.
They shout they scream hey theres been a cheat
and find the evidence at grandpas feet.
With a clap and a cheer the games declared void its a laugh a miniute for all the girls and boys.
Its time to take a piccie or two, now all squeeze together you know what to do.
Something for us all to remember this very special day
the 25th of December.
its a real Christmas its a real Christmas.

Is that the Northern star? Such a wonderous sight, oh no ive been mistaken
its just Daves light.

This is an original song.
I hope you like it.
Thank you.

You’re Still In That day

Last night I saw you
it’s been a while
same like before
in my dream

Sometimes I wonder
what would have changed
if I could tell
I love you

I think I knew
this could be the last
that you are there

I always loved you
always loved you
I’d love to tell you
but I can’t

I always loved you
always loved you
I should tell you
since that day

You’re still in there
you’re still in there
you’re still in there for me

You’re still in that day
you’re still in that day
you’re still in that day for me
for me

（日本語訳）
昨晩、君を見かけたよ
久しぶりに
いつもと変わらない君を
夢の中で

時々思うんだ
何か変わっていただろうか
もし、思いを伝えることが出来たなら

わかってたんだ
これが最後かも知れないって
当たり前のように君がいる事が

君をずっと愛してた
ずっと愛してた
伝えたかった
でも出来なかったんだ

君をずっと愛してた
ずっと愛してた
伝えるべきだった
あの日から

君はそのまま
そのままなんだ
僕の中の君は
いつまでもそのままなんだ

君はあの日のまま
あの日のままなんだ
僕の中の君は
いつまでもあの日のままなんだ
