“I was unsure about my next song to create and so my wife suggested writing something in the style of The Mamas & The Papas, which I thought was a fantastic idea. A further suggestion by my wife was added; to include the words “Give Love, Get Love”, which was written on my tea bag string (pictured). This was an even better idea and now a fun challenge. With that, this song was written. 

This is a song about giving yourself to life - that we are simply salt floating in the sea; stardust in the universe - to not resist and to embrace every moment. 

I really love the 60’s Woodstock camp fire feel to this song and I enjoyed trying to emulate the sounds/panning of the incredible “California Dreamin’”. I think the electro/synth-pop inspired vocal processing adds a nice modern twist. I hope you enjoy this one”

A song about the universe - “The Salt And The Sea”.

We are the salt and the sea
I drift with you and you carry me
So happy? 
In love? 
Everyone has a story 
Yes, we are the salt and the sea

You’ve got to give love to get love
You’ve got to lose yourself to win it all and be free
This bubble of ours is like living on Mars
We can see the twilight and stars from the sea

Tendre est la nuit      
Texte de Muette      Chant : Teel      Musique : Alain Illos
 
                                                   
                                                   Nuit très féroce  
                                                   Mâchant les heures  
                                                   A pleines dents,                   
                                                   Ton coup de crosse  
                                                   M’a assommée  
                                                   Et j’ai sombré.  
                                                   Nuit sans douanier   
                                                   Et sans pass’port, 
                                                   Port de partance   
                                                   Vers d’autres rives, 
                                                   Sur le mât de mon corps         
                                                   Enroule ton drapeau noir.  

                                                   Nuit, belle et ténébreuse,  
                                                   Mon voyage sous les cils 
                                                   Ma pause, mon délestage,  
                                                   Mon roulis, ma berceuse. 
                                                   Mon voyage immobile.

                                                              Refrain
                                                   Mes élans sont de cendre, 
                                                   Mes espoirs sont en rade, 
                                                   Dure est la vie, 
                                                   Tendre est la nuit,  
                                                   Comm’ l’a dit Fizgerald.   

                                           
                                               
                                                   Dans mon sommeil trop lourd,
                                                   Dentellière des rêves,   
                                                   Tu soulèves et tu mêles 
                                                   Les fils d’anciennes amours.  
                                                   Vie nocturne, vie diurne : 
                                                   Laquelle est réussie ? 
                                                   Pas de réponse hâtive : 
                                                   La nuit, les morts revivent  
                                                   Et les vivants me cèdent  
                                                   Ce qu’ils refusent ici.  


                                                              Refrain
                                                   Mes élans sont de cendre, 
                                                   Mes espoirs sont en rade, 
                                                   Dure est la vie, 
                                                   Tendre est la nuit,  
                                                   Comm’ l’a dit Fizgerald.

Beautiful Night

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

(a.k.a. burn-it-smith)

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

Hey… Happy December wherever you are. This is an early winter song, with a hint of cabin fever going on. Luckily, I still have my sense of humor, although not much to say right now, as… well you live on this planet too. Aren’t we having fun these days? Thanks for dropping by, Mark
