Seven years ago, Oddrun and I released a beautiful collaboration titled “Smile” — a heartfelt reinterpretation of the timeless theme from Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936) 🎬.  Born from a melody that once underscored silent emotions on screen, our version gave it a new voice — tender, human, and full of light.  For some reason, it never made its way to my SoundCloud page… until now. It feels like the right moment to share this piece again — a little fragment of beauty we both cherished.
 I hope it touches you as it once touched us. ✨

Arrangements by Charles Chambaz 
All instruments, effects are performed by myself.

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

-Thank you so much for listening! 🫶

TIMOTHY LEARY  LONG TIME
YOU AND I NO SEE
FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
SHINE ON CRAZY STRAWBERRY
BLURRY IS THE OPEN SEA
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE

EMOTION IN MOTION
THAT’S THE WAY TO FUNCTION
COOLNESS IN A POTION
SPIRITUAL ACTION
TUNE IN TURN ON DROP OUT

TIMOTHY DEARIE OH BABY
IT IS CLEAR TO SEE
FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT
A HORSEMAN WITH NO HORSE
A HORSE WITH NO NAME
LEARN TO BE AND NOT TO BE

EMOTION IN MOTION
CAN YOU FEEL THE SUCCION
CHOCOLATE EXPLOSION
MARTIAN REVELATION
TUNE ON TURN OUT DROP IN

TIMOTHY LEARY (Lyrics + notes)

Drums played by Ringo Starr : I used an "isolated" drums track of the rooftop concert  available on Youtube. I hope the sound is decent enough, and you enjoy this version. Thanks !

The Vow

Happy Halloween.... the song is actually a tribute to Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople ..one of the best bands of the 70s....Ian is still rocking into his mid 80s..so I am the one with the rigor mortis clearly..go Ian go...
sound clips from 1931 Frankenstein movie
There are at least 8 Mott the Hoople Song titles in the lyrics


Rock N Roll Rigor Mortis

Roll Away The Stone                                        
God is calling, he's on the phone
He's got a glambam plan, one last stand        
Before they take you home                               

Spotlight shines in your face
You better put on a pair of Ian Hunter shades
I Wish I Was Your Mother, wish I was your father
Never could put you in your place

Hey, old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey, old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

Move your hips to the beat
Take a deep breath, unstick yourself from that seat
Shine a light through your pupil, of pure Mott the Hoople
To energise those ancient feet

Time to rise again
Like Lazarus, a comeback, this ain’t the end
You're one wild stiff, rockin all my riffs
Be careful how your body bends 

Hey old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

All The Way From Memphis               
The Golden Age Of Rock N Roll    
Elvis and the Whizz Kids                 
Ain’t no peace in the valley for the last patrol 

Drivin’ Sister, Jerkin’ Crocus
Help me When My Mind Is Gone
Do the shimmy shake, bring it into focus
Sing it loud this victory song

Chorus

It's alive!!! It's alive!!! It's alive!!!

lyrics HotR/ Ian Hunter & co

The Pendulum Swings

This piece tries to capture the poem below in a minimalist style.  The flute is a possible vocal part for a very creative singer.  I may keep editing. We'll see. I wanted you to hear it first.  Thank you!

SNOW FALL
Outside- Outside!
It's snowing- Snowing!
Snowflakes falling, 
Lighting up the sky
Like tiny fireflies
And diamonds aglow
I brush away the snow
Falling on my hair
Catching snow as I go,
As ice cools my face
Oh what a dreamy place!
