BTW I would refrain from using literal capitals or Camel Case this way -to avoid any attribution that, come to think of it, was most likely intended as speculative suggestion- with this military reference -that has a history of crimes that Humanity never recovered from-

"Humankind as a whole has never recovered from the greatest crime against Humanity"

Abstraction

A little song about peace ... my childhood was happy, with ups and downs, but we had peace. 25 years after the destructive low, we were aware of a certain security. Now the Iron Curtain returns and destroys so many souls. This here - my statement - is in no way political, but the people of Ukraine are on the run. Whether husband, wife and especially their children. Imagine waking up ... and it's war. Just a day before, you were playing with your friends in the street - the street that is now the scene of a game you can't understand. Now I wonder why we played "cops and robbers" as kids, why we placed miniature plastic soldiers on hills to wrest territory from the other. Why we dressed up as cowboys for carnival - the other as an Indian - and thought that the cowboy was the better person??? Why are we only now becoming aware of this?

I still remain the child who believes in dragons, in witches.... but evil surrounds us not in belief, but in reality!

When The Night Comes

This is the first track of a new album entitled Doors to Silence. My lyrics were inspired by Sri Aurobindo's The Word of Silence. The mantra "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu" helps to remove us from our thoughts... it means "May all creatures everywhere be happy and free, and may my thoughts, words, and actions contribute to that happiness and freedom of all.”


Om  ... Om....Om 
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

A bare and golden hush is now my mind
A world of sight clear… inimitable
A volume of silence by a Godhead signed
A greatness pure… virgin of will 

Once on its pages ignorance could write
In a scribble of intellect, the blind guess of Time
Gleam-messages of ephemeral light
Food for the souls that wander Nature’s rim 

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

But now I listen to a greater Word
Born from the mute unseen omniscient Ray
The Voice that only Silence’s ear has heard
Leaps missioned from an eternal glory of Day 

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Om Om Om 

All turns from whiteness and unbroken peace
To a tumult of joy in a sea of wide release
All turns… all turns…
Into joy… into joy… into wide release 

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
Om Om Om

Silence

Conover plays and sings this version

History from the Beatles Bible:
Written by: Lennon-McCartney
Recorded: 1, 4, 5 August 1969
Producer: George Martin
Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Phil McDonald

Released: 26 September 1969 (UK), 1 October 1969 (US)

John Lennon: vocals, lead guitar
Paul McCartney: vocals, bass
George Harrison: vocals, Moog synthesiser
George Martin: electric spinet Baldwin harpsichord

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon's Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.

Yoko Ono was a classically trained pianist whose interests had moved towards the avant garde. One day in 1969, however, she played Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 - the Moonlight Sonata.


Lying on their sofa listening, John Lennon asked her to play the chords backwards, and wrote Because around the result. While not an exact reversal of Beethoven's piece, it contains a number of musical similarities.
The lyrics speak for themselves; they're clear. No bullshit. No imagery, no obscure references.
John Lennon
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The vocal harmonies are one of the most distinctive aspects of the much-admired Because. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison sang together, and overdubbed their voices twice more, giving the effect of nine voices.

John wrote this tune. The backing is a bit like Beethoven. And three-part harmony right throughout. Paul usually writes the sweeter tunes, and John writes the, sort of, more the rave-up things, or the freakier things. But John's getting to where he doesn't want to. He just wants to write twelve-bars. But you can't deny it, I think this is possibly my favourite one on the album. The lyrics are so simple. The harmony was pretty difficult to sing. We had to really learn it. But I think that's one of the tunes that will impress most people. It's really good.
George Harrison, 1969
The vocal harmonies, isolated from their instrumental backing, can be heard on both Anthology 3 and Love. The Love album, however, features the sound of birds twittering in the background.

I wouldn't mind betting Yoko was in on the writing of that, it's rather her kind of writing: wind, sky and earth are recurring, it's straight out of Grapefruit and John was heavily influenced by her at the time.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The instrumentation on Because was simple, with arpeggio accompaniment on harpsichord, guitar and Moog. Paul McCartney later bought the electric harpsichord, played here by George Martin, when EMI were reducing their instrument collection; it remains in his recording studio.

In the studio

On Friday 1 August 1969 Lennon, McCartney and Martin taped 23 takes of the basic track, with Lennon on electric guitar and McCartney on bass. Ringo Starr added a basic hi-hat rhythm, but this was for guide purposes only and wasn't recorded.

Take 16 was the best of the 23 attempts. With the backing track in place, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison recorded the first of their harmony vocal tracks. Two more were added on 4 August.

A final overdub was recorded on 5 August, when George Harrison taped a Moog part - the first time the synthesiser was used on the Abbey Road recordings. Harrison recorded it twice, filling up the last two available tracks on the tape.


Ah, because the world is round
it turns me on
Because the world is round
Ah, because the wind is high
it blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Ah, love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah

galactic call

Lyrics:

Cloud by day and fire by night 
So we follow
Given precise measurement
so we can listen 
we can feel it
The Truth above the visual 
walks before us 
and behind us
Somewhere inbetween the seen and unseen 
that will lead us 
that will guide us

hold tight
I am safe
Under your wing
Our fearsome shield roaring
In the thunder 
In the lightening 

A Darkness chasing through the depths of the ocean
Split it open
The fire swirls
The mountains move
They are all yours 
All connected
Through the meeting place 
and underneath
You Unlock it 
lift it higher

hold tight
I am safe
Under your wing
Our fearsome shield roaring
In the thunder 
In the lightening 

The earth shakes
The sea waves
You’re here and there and they feel it
A voice calling out make straight your way in the wilderness

I am under your wing
I hear you calling
In the thunder in the lightening

Under Your Wing

Lagniappe is a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase (such as a 13th doughnut when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."
Or as I say "a little something special".
