I wrote this song “Brightness” inspired by my favorite drama “Breaking Bad”where I met Walt Whitman’s poem.  I had a big inspiration and motivation from him.
music composed, played, sang and arranged by Chihiro Matsumoto(JETTT)
Lyrics quoted Walt  Whitman’s poem”When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer”of “leaves of Grass“ plus my original phrases

“Brightness” lyrics 
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick
Endless night

Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever need
Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever on call

Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself
In the mystical moist night air, and from time to time
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Try to get no one to be shooting stars
Try to get no one to be breaking stars

When I asked her about putting the words of his poem on my song, she kindly and so rapidly did some research and let me know the poems of Walt Whitman are in public domain, apparently.  
I felt very happy to know that I can use his wonderful words for my song with great respect.
“Thank you so much for your help and thoughtful advice, Pamela!”

I was trying to write a short and catchy pop song... I think I nailed it ;)

Welcome Down The Rabbit Hole

A greenshank in the swamp´s fog reminds me of a grey sunday afternoon.

GREY DAY

DREAMING OF SNOW   from CALIGO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf4iSuVb2o0

If that was me / I’d spend all my time / getting wasted with you
If that was me / I’d give you the full code / to my lost earnings
If that was me / I’d script my best life / in our borrowed lines
And if that was me / I’d define my desire / through your yearnings…they’re my learnings

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / It’s just not me

If that was me / I’d worship the ground / I’d never let you fall on (never let you fall on)
If that was me / Just to pin you on up / in our home made shrine
If that was me / I’d donate you my lungs / to watch you breathe forever (and ever and ever)
Cos if that was me / I’d feed you my tear / so you never have to cry (cry cry)

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / I’m not the man I used to be
It’s just not me I’m not that man I used to be

She said that was me / and I know I let you down / when I had to let you go (let go)
 Yeah that was me / that lost the good love / I didn’t know that I’d found
Cos it was me / couldn’t fall quite enough / for that new future us
So guess now it’s just me / until I’m buried alone so deep underground but when buried alone who hears the sound

Now it’s just me / since she said set me free
Now it’s just me / and what’s meant to be will be
Now it’s just me baby can’t you see
We’re forever you and me forever you and me
You and me

But now it’s just me not forever you and me cos now it’s just me
And now it’s just me not that man I used to be now it’s just me
Cos now it’s just me not forever you and me now it’s just me
Now it’s just me
Now it’s just me

If That Was Me

Thank you Laar for being so easy to work with and having accepted vocals recorded with a nasty cold! Say goodbye to those fairweather friends please.

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Lyrics: 

I hear a call from deep inside
Calling me back to the source
To the space 
where
I once belonged

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

Flowing through eternity
We'vw been here before
The search will end
When we seek no more

Do You Remember Me

singer-songwriter/guitarist /composer/arranger. I do everything about the song making by myself.  Basically my music consists of acoustic guitar playing and vocals, but now I’m trying to make it sounds much more catchy and enjoyable for today’s listeners. And I’d like to say that listening to the music on SoundCloud always give me such inspiration and motivation. I do love and respect your great works!
Wish you all good health and safety from my heart🕊️💛 And thank you so much for your listenings and support, always🙏✨✨✨
