Great catchy vocal lyric track..great guitar..perfectly executed..captivating & passionate harmonization..excellent mix & recording production!

This is from the sonnet Book Ends II by Tony Harrison, who died on 26 September 2025. 

It is an intensely personal poem about grief, which I have loved ever since I first read it over 40 years ago. I was stunned when Tony kindly agreed to let me put it to music, and it will be part of my album What Lies Beneath when it comes out on 7 November.

RIP Tony - a bloody great poet

This song is basically about relationships where two people love each other unconditionally.
Take the good with the bad and support each other no matter what.
That to me is what love is meant to be. 

When You Love Someone

I love you
You love me
That's the way its meant to be

Good or bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

Good or Bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Up or down
Smile or frown
That's the way its meant to be

Without your love my soul would die
Without your love then who am I

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

First or last
Future or past
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good.

When You Love Someone  (Patersongs/Conover)

I first sang this about a year ago. But it was with a little bad English and bad sound, so I tried again :)

Lyrics:

1
They said she was a temptress
That she would seduce all men
She had a bad reputation
And not a single friend...

2
She had a perfect body
Nice make up on her face
Always so stylishly dressed
But the women called her trash...

Chorus:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

3
All the men loved her
The way she moved and looked
But the women hated her
Was afraid their men would get hooked...

4
She tried to tone it down
The nice clothes and make up were thrown
But no matter what she did
She was still way to pretty...

Chorus x 2:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

In a world full of jealousy...

In a world full of jealousy...

Jealousy   (Original ,Remix)

Enjoy the summer!
Spotify Playlist Curator Shania Wagema:
„The beats give off strong vibrant and summer vibes…The production is amazing and quite admirable.“

Sommerhit

This is an original song from another lifetime ago that expresses the frustration of walking away from a terrific relationship because I was still foolishly addicted to a past relationship. My thanks to Nat Daniels for the usual fine production work as I can finally put this out after years of lower budget efforts.

Lyrics: Nora by Craig Durgy
Oh Nora, there’s something coming over me 
Trying to warn ya, how I could lose this energy

Oh oh Nora, even I don't understand this letting down 
Oh Nora, only you were there to pick me off the ground 

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears
Oh Nora my, Nora can’t you see that I
Just can't give you love 

Oh Nora, I didn't think I'd lose my grip 
Reaching for ya, you touched me and it made me trip 

Oh oh Nora, I wish that I had never let you tempt me girl 
Oh Nora, I guess my heart just wasn't really empty girl

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears 
Oh Nora my, Nora can't you see that I
Just can't give you love 

Nora my love, Nora my love, just can't give you love

Oh Nora, I never gave you half a chance
I first saw ya, just smiling into my advance

Oh oh Nora, I wish that I could make my heart a home for you
Oh Nora, only time can get rid of this feeling blue

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears
Oh Nora my, Nora can't you see that I
Just can't give you love

Nora

You Oughta See

Blue in River
Poem and music by Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

Blue, so blue in river

Every night
I come
to see you

Blue, so blue in river

I can see your pensive water
the full moon
above you
and the shimmering of she

Blue, so blue in river
you take away
the sadness out of me

Blue, so blue in river

You take away
the sadness out of me

Blue, blue in river
