Echoes In Your Mind (Lyrics)

Son take my advice…you can turn the tide
Take a look inside, to the echoes in your mind

The sun is high and burning bright, the road is long but you're alright  

Step out of your head, face the day instead
Listen and you’ll find…the echoes in your mind

Life is only a flash in time, the night is dark before the light
The sun is high and burning bright, the road is long but you're alright  

Hard times…come around…
Hard times…come around…

Son take my advice…it’s all with your sights
Listen to what’s right…to the echoes in your mind…

Hard times…come around…
Hard times…come around…

Promenade vespérale

 
Un soir d’été, je me promenais
Il avait plu légèrement
Tout près de l’étang que je longeais
S’exhalaient des parfums enivrants

Un bouquet d’asphodèles frissonnaient
Sous les ailes des libellules
Une famille écureuils dinaît
Sur le gazon au crépuscule

Je marchais, mais marchais-je vraiment ?
Mes pas pleuraient miséricorde
Celle que seul le futur attend
Quand le vague à l’âme déborde

Où allais-je cet été ?
Que fuyais-je ? Que chercher ?
Questions ô combien futiles
Quand le soir nous démaquille

… je vibrais
… j’entendais
Une brise à mes oreilles
Comme une amie donne un conseil :

« Si tu dois sortir de ta maison
Pour te promener dans le soir
C’est que tu crois que vers l’horizon
Ta vie sera moins dérisoire





Si les nuages ont besoin de brise
C’est pour retrouver leur jeunesse
Et les voiles des bateaux se disent
Profitons de cette caresse »

Même l’eau de l’étang ondulait
Comme font les vagues du large
Prêtes aussi à s’envoler
Pour accompagner mon voyage

Il est des soirs incertains
Où l’on est peut-être fleur
Tapis d’eau, peut-être humain
Dans tous nos sens qui s’effleurent

… qui se fondent
… se répondent
Et d’un coup, on n’est plus rien
Qu’une tache au bout d’un chemin

Sur le tableau qu’un vieux peintre
Termine et signe.

Myckaël Marcovic, le 19 septembre.

Evening stroll

 
One summer evening, I was walking
It had rained lightly
Near the pond I was walking along
Intoxicating perfumes were exhaled

A bouquet of asphodels shivered
Under the wings of dragonflies
A family of squirrels dined
On the lawn at dusk

I was walking, but was I really walking?
My steps were crying for mercy
The one that only the future awaits
When the blues overflow

Where was I going this summer?
What was I running from? What to look for?
Questions so futile
When the evening removes our make-up

... I was vibrating
... I heard
A breeze in my ears
As a friend gives advice:

"If you must leave your house
To walk in the evening
It’s that you believe that towards the horizon 
Your life will be less paltry

If the clouds need a breeze
It is to find their youth
And the sails of the boats say
Let's enjoy this caress".

Even the water of the pond undulated
Like the waves of the sea 
Ready to take off too
To accompany my journey


There are uncertain evenings
When you’re mabybe a flower 
A carpet of water, perhaps human
In all our senses that touch each other

... that merge
... answer each other
And suddenly, we are nothing
But a spot at the end of a path

On the painting that an aged painter
Finishes and signs.

Lyrics

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

I tried to grasp your pains, your sorrow,
Comforted you in my arms.
Embraced your frightening past and so
Hiding my fears and me behind...

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
You let me down, you might be right.

It’s true i need your love and caring,
To shine through your eyes.
But emptiness sometimes I’m facing,
Help me to realise.

Fighting with myself, fall to the ground.
Waiting for a hand, that I can’t found.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
Maybe a light can lead us now...

Till There Was You [The Beatles Cover]

This song is just about feeling like no matter what you do it always ends up with some less than favorable unexpected result.

Moonstone (Eric Heitmann and Joran Elane)

I am writing songs about old age that together will form an album about this theme. This song is about Parkinson's disease. Many people are familiar with the external (physical) symptoms of this disease, the psychological symptoms are less known. 'Into the Wings' is about what Parkinson's does to the brain, briefly summarized as 'stuttering' of thoughts. The lyrics are based on the experience of my good friend Henk, who has Parkinson's. Painting is by Alette de Groot
