A not very cheery, not very uplifting, not very joyous but very pensive tune I wrote last week. Always better out than in I say.

Hollow

Here's an upity song I wrote and recorded a couple of days ago. Time intensive, but I like it. I wrote it for two wonderful friends of mine Deborah and Matthew. Geez, I hope they like it!

Light up the world By Catherine Lambert

"Let the love in" is a spiritual song that I wrote today for one of my students. It's my vocal and I played all of the instruments.

Let the love in

Given that I'm an insomniac I spend my sleepless nights listening to the BBC on the radio. I swear I can recite the news bulletin verbatim by the morning. Why are so many countries so troubled? Why are there always idiots running things that don't care about their own people? It's massive self-destruction. It has to end. I don't have answers as to how but hey, wouldn't it be great if everyone would just leave everyone to their own business? Control of others is evil. A great man once said "give peace a chance". How about now? Things are pretty shit. This song is my vent on the subject. It's called "Peace gotta come". It really does.

Peace gotta come

Written, performed and recorded by Catherine Lambert
 
Peace gotta come
Peace gotta come
Peace gotta come
Peace gotta come


V1
I look all around the world today
It makes me so sad that the children can’t play
So much sadness so much pain
And mankind does it again and again


V2
Don’t you see it’s just not right 
People too terrified to sleep at night
In countries all around the world
What kind of life is this for little boys and girls

Ch 
Peace gonna come
It has to man
Peace gotta come
For all the lands
All my sisters all my brothers all the people of every land


V3
So many troubles in many places
The news shows the pictures of the devastated faces
Poison and bullets that ring in the ear
The leaders of the world they just don’t seem to hear

Br
Ooo, gotta do something about it
Ooo, get the whole wide world to shout it
Put down the guns and the peace will follow
Love and light is all that we need for tomorrow



Peace gotta come By Catherine Lambert

A song about penance. 
Work my way back
Lyrics: C. Lambert, Marco Giorgio 
Music: C. Lambert

I had to let you go 
It was the only thing to do
I had to walk away 
I just couldn’t stay one more day
‘Cos I was wrong for you 
And I saw the hurt in your eyes
What I was doing, was wrong for me 

Still why do I feel this way, 
You’re still in my head all the time
My mind turns back to you 
Day after day after day
I should move on from the past, 
Find some peace of mind
But those were the best times, of my life

Chorus:
So I’m working on myself
So I can work my way back to you
I want to earn your trust
To prove that it’s true
I don’t expect you to believe me 
After all I put you through
Fin-ding forgiveness can take some time
And I believe in you

Pride masks the pain inside that
Time’s supposed to heal
My mind was in a fog
So surreal
So the work began, 
To fix the damage that I’ve done 
I hurt you and I know it
So the time has come------

Chorus


Work my way back to you

Ever need someone to be there for you? Here's the guy.


SOFT PLACE TO FALL            
Music and Lyrics By: C. Lambert


V1
You say you want to be alone
That you’re happy on your own
It makes you feel safe and in control
When no one can expect a thing

V2
You say you want peace
And it’s just not worth the stress
To extend yourself, and your time 
To someone else

Chorus
I’ll be your soft place to fall
All you have to do is call
Tell me where, tell me when 
And that’s all
I’ll be your soft place to fall

V3
Just take a minute to think
And trust me for a while
When the dark night fades
And the new day brings light
That everything might just be alright

Bridge
If you can find it in your heart to trust one more time
Don’t hide away, let your self shine
Gotta put love out to take love in
I’ll be there for you I’ll care for you
I’ll never let you down,
But I’ll lay myself down…. 

Chorus
And be your soft place to fall
All you have to do is call
Tell me where tell me when 
And that’s all
I’ll be your soft place to fall
I’ll be your soft place to fall










Soft Place To Fall

I will fly high again

I may be on bended knees right now.
But I will fly high, again
With the love of my family
So fly high----------------------
Fly high----------------------------

When you wake up and all you want to do
Is to go straight back to sleep
When you stop making plans ‘cause chances are
They’re plans you won’t keep

If there are no expectations. There can be no disappointments

My body’s always been a good friend of mine
Now it doesn’t care for me much
Then out of the blue there’s a learned man
Sitting across from me with his hands in the air
When I ask why, he has a rather deflated look in his eye

Just for a moment a little while back
I was given a precious gift
For one day and one day only I was me again
It reminded me who I was and that was a blessing
I wasn’t this wretched creature who I’ve now become
 So tra la la la la and la di da there you go

So it’s time to find a new start a new way a new day
Whatever it takes to change
It’s the only option for me
The only other is to lay right back 
But I gotta say now I don’t do defeat.


All you need is a small taste of what is real 
It acts as a reminder when you’ve forgotten how to feel
Time is a tricky beast with stacks of twists and turns
So you never see it coming but when it does you know it burns.


I'm Going To Fly (auto immune sucks)

This is one of my favourite songs of all time. "Wild is the Wind". It's so luxurious to sing. I claim no ownership or copyright to this song.

Wild Is The Wind Final

I'm writing a stack of "weird" material right now. this is one.

Envy

fly me to the moon

Love George Gershwin. I've put the "verse" on the beginning. 

Someone to watch over me

A friend is a full time carer for her ailing father therefore her life is on the "back burner". This song is dedicated to her and all that she does.
