Week 9 SAW Prompt: What's your secret?

Photo by Erin Wolf featuring the Krewe of Muses Mardi Gras Parade in Uptown NOLA, Feb. 2024

--

feels like a fever dreams
down in new orleans
city that i've never seen before

under the light of the mardi gras 
floats passing by
doubloons and things galore

after all the parades
we make our way through the streets 
as they're screaming and out

everybody hoping for something to feel
something, a moment of connection
could it be real

oooooh
oooooh

see an old friend and he asks,
"what is your secret?"
you look the same as the day we first met

even though it's warmer than it is back home
i feel the wind's piercing chill
as it blows through the din, din

oh oooooh
oh oooooh

This song is about the need to experience things for yourself instead of relying on hearsay and assumptions. And also, tigers.

I’ve been told this one is “classic Color Theory,” whatever that means.

WHERE TIGERS ARE SAID TO ROAM
©2024 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

They say that tigers roam free
In these lands
You wonder how that could be
When you’ve never seen one
Legends of mist-covered hills
Perilous thrills

The mighty roar
The savage gore
Rumors and idle folklore
Map out a route
Remove all doubt
Only one way to know for sure
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

Don’t be content to rely
On hearsay
To confirm what you deny
Explore every region
Seek out the cat in its den
Time and again

It may be dangerous
Who knows what you might find
Embrace the wilderness
The courage to face
The nature of your own mind

You must do this on your own
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

The Salt of the Earth

We are the makers 
 keepers curators 
We see the world at it’s worth 
We hold its treasures 
Today and forever
We are the salt of the earth. 

We are the salt 
We are the salt 
No matter which way we run
No matter which way we turn 
We are the salt we are the salt 
We are the salt of the earth 

We are the teachers
lovers and seekers
Held since the day of our birth
We are the healers 
The darkness revealers 
We are the Salt of the earth 

We are the dealers
The liars stealers 
We want it all or we’ll burn
We are the teasers 
The self serving pleasers 
We are the salt of the earth 

We are believers 
The rescued receivers
We feel the pain and the hurt
We are the weary 
The lost and the fearing 
We are the salt of the earth 

O yes We are we are 
the salt 
the salt of the earth 
No matter which way we run or we turn 
We are 
we are the salt 
The salt of the earth

salt of the earth

Darkwave and synth-based music, in the spirit of Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, and the pulsing allure of Italo-disco.
