Lyrics
Earth & The Wailing Wiccans
By David Husted

Scene1 [Guardians of the Trees]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 2: [Tree Fall]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 3 [Gaia's Lamentation]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene4 [Circle around the Trees]
We dance beside the moonlight
We dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

Scene5: [Guardians Reprise]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 6: [Wrath of Gaia]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 7:[Gaia's Lamentation: Earth]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene 8: [Circle around the Earth]
dance beside the moonlight
dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

[Scene 9: Trail of Tears: The Wailing Wiccans]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 


The Overstory:

The Overstory won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2019. This novel by Richard Powers explores themes of the interconnectedness of life and the impact of humanity on nature. 

I found the book very powerful as I very much enjoyed the rich prose and the way he could make me see the world in a new way. He created different lenses to glimpse and better understand the hearts of widely different characters. This included the key player of nature herself. In the end, the book is both a beautiful meditation on nature and a call to action, urging readers to reconsider their relationship with the environment. 

My new song's theme was influenced by this novel not in a direct or intentional way but as something that emerged more slowly and organically. I finished this book during my song's build process. Reverberations, echoes and rhythms of the Overstory seem to lace the song lattice like vines on a tree. 

There were no wailing Wiccans in the book but plenty of very passionate earth connected characters. There was also some good cries of grief and pain. I think some of this grief informed my late arriving background vocals in the last chorus. They have a quality of choral witch-like wailing to my ears. I almost discarded them BUT the sound of this background texture grew on me like a fungus over time and really began to anchor my song direction. This was not intentional either until my brain later latched on to it as a means to inspire the final song form and ending.

My next original song, Earth and the Wailing Wiccans, will be officially released to all streaming services on Friday, 16 August 2024!

Thank You for sharing a moment with me.

Vision

I had a vision (x4)

I had a vision, when I was a boy
This was my kingdom… I drew it like a child…
But never stuck to my aim… and so I missed it by half a mile…
There’s a wide-winged bird, a circling…or could it be two or three
I could save it all the bother…and then it wouldn’t bother me, see
This is my vision…This is my vision
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign…)
I entrust this mystery to you
For my fate is in your hands
So let’s push on…so let’s push on…
I had a vision…

(INST)

I had a vision…
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (it was a real beauty)
I had a vision (all laid out for me)
I had a vision…I had a vision…a mystery!

Spirits Of The Dead

Found What I've Been Looking For

Tes yeux
Ta voix
Le son
De tes pas

Je me demande
Pourquoi
Je suis pas
Avec toi ce soir

Sans tes bras
Autour moi
On se vois plus
Je me sens nu

Je t'entends pas
Je t’écoute plus
Je n’en peux plus 
Je m’en fous

Je reste
Tu sors
Je me mens
Tu m’ignores

C’est qui
L’autre   
C’est moi
Ou le paramour

Regarde
Ton corps
Il est fixé 
Dans la photo du

Premier moment où
On se voit
Où on se touche
Où on s’entend 

Je la touche
Je la repare
Je la copie
Je la remplace
Connaitre toi
C’est le meme
De connaitre
Un corp mort

Echanger l’un
Pour l’autre
N’est rien
Que poursuivre la vie

La bouffe
Le sexe
Se trahir
S’epanouir

Paramour part II

Winter Nights

Go All The Way

The future's uncertain, the end is unclear
There'll be songs unsung, new foes to fear
I don't know if we got another 40 years
Or 40 days to rock n roll.

You could die like Janis or live like Keith
Pay penance for the excess with survivor's grief
Embrace your madness and their disbelief
You can rock, you can roll

Chorus

You can go all the way
Go all the way
No turning back
Move ahead, attack
As you go all the way

But I'm still stranded in the jungle of my common sense
I keep the tiger at bay by living future tense
"Never get out of the boat", Fredrick Forrest says
As the cameras start to roll

Yeah you can die like Jimi or live like Keith
Keep sailing till you land on a safer beach
But our  fate and the future's always out of reach
Will you rock or will you roll?

Chorus

Like the Rolling Stones 
you could last a hundred years
But don't forget poor Brian Jones 
Swallowed deep those poolside fears
It could go either way
Life, death and bad swordplay
A single lunge and thrust could steal your time.

The future's uncertain, the end is unclear 
The trophies and the troubles bound to disappear
Turn around to find the same old worries here
Not much rock and too much roll

You  could die like Janis or die like Keith
alone or soft surrounded by survivor's grief
A tale to tell tomorrow, taste their disbelief
As you rock, as you roll, as you…

Go all the way
Go all the way
No turning back
Move ahead, attack
As you go all the way





Go All The Way

Me as a young boy playing my  Strat. In the studio with my first band Quizzical Smile.
Also the first time for me to be in the studio.

This is a remake version of my song. Original one was my acoustic guitar & vocal. And I tried to make this song more enjoyable with some arrangement.
Thank you so much for all the listening and very nice encouraging words

Lyrics 
We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
I feel (feeling) you fall on ground
Shadowy days fall on you
I’m so ,,, waiting for you…
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
And I hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

We’ve been wasting time
Struggle wastes your love
Stay with me for now
Find your way so close
I’m so,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever
Oh　(the) life will be fine
I can believe in all your fate
You can feel it for now
A cloud is flow
(When)Open your eyes forward
I can’t tell you why
I’m so ,,,waiting for you
I can’t keep my eyes off from you
When I  hold old love
You must be beautiful for ever

Waiting For You

There’s a treasure down deep in this garbage can
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
Just remember that they never really understand 
Your personal Rosetta Stone



Go All The Way
