Postcode With No Letter

This is a soundtrack I composed for the NaNot Writers group I am part of. We set each other writing challenges (rather like Metapop used to do for composers/producers).

Forth

Children Sang

Bruno Cadillon (Cab) est l'auteur et l'interprète de cette chanson.

Ils vont si bien ensemble
Ton calme et mon chaos
On parle la même langue
Mes os et puis ta peau
Mes doutes et tes croyances
Se comprennent d’un mot
Ma folie ta patience
Engendrent un même écho

Ils vont si bien ensemble
Mes rêves et tes combats
Ils parlent la même langue
Tes silences Mes éclats
Ils vont si bien ensemble
Tes hauts et puis mes bas
Ils vont si bien ensemble
Mes chapeaux et tes bas

Peu importe le temps
Qui passe et ses offenses
Peu importe les coups du sort
Et leur violence
Le lien qui nous unit
Peu à peu s’est construit
Malgré ce que tu penses
Sur toutes ces différences

Ils vont si bien ensemble (avec Cab)

See me weaving through these rain drops.
Pick it up. Take it slow.
It’s not the only way the pain can stop,
But it may be the only way I know.

See me weaving through these rain drops.
Cut ‘em off. Cause a scene.
Wishing it could be the way it was
But isn’t that the way it’s always been?

Since the last time I let ya down, I let ya down
All I did was fall in love.
She did her magic and she kept me round, she kept me round
But I can’t have it all at once.

I wrote a letter and I signed my name, I signed my name
But don’t know who to give it to.
The choice is obvious and I’m to blame, yes I’m to blame
I’m sorry. It was always you.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So, please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

Don’t put me out. I promise now,
you’re the only habit that I wanna fall into.
See my eyes. Realize.
I’m the man you love and holy shit do I miss you.

Hand out. I stand down,
fully at your mercy as I pray that you reach back.
And I know, you move slow
But she don’t, I can’t do it on my own.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

Painkiller (Rough, Live & Uncut)

[Intro]
Whispers of doubt, echoes of youth,
Caught in the whirlwind, a search for the truth.

[Verse]
Navigating through chaos, a fragile plight,
Every step a potential, an explosive bite.
Lost in the whirlwind, searching for truth,
Feeling the crash, the inevitable clash.

[Chorus]
Crash walking – you nailed me again.
Picking scabs – exposing her pain.
Crash walking – I'm shutting down.
Can't stand – their double talking.

[Verse]
"Why do you linger, why embrace slack?"
Judgments thrown like daggers, their words attack.
"Take out the trash," they sneer with disdain so vast,
Yet I rise, unbroken, a phoenix, untamed.

[Bridge]
Pressure mounts, yet I hold my ground,
To the beat of my heart, a defiant sound.
On paths less traveled, my spirit soars,
"Crash walking" through life, where my truth is found.

[Chorus]
Crash walking – you nailed me again.
Picking scabs – exposing her pain.
Crash walking – I'm shutting down.
Can't stand – their double talking.

Crash Walking [Double Talking]

la chanson du pianiste et compositeur Bruno Martino, "Estate", est devenu un standard du jazz international, grâce notamment à l'extraordinaire reprise en bossa qu'en a fait Joao Gilberto. J'en avais tenté une version jazzy en 2021 , avec ici seulement une nouvelle masterisation

Variation autour de Estate

Darkness Before The Light

Threw a shadow wild and thin
A leather jacket that smelled like gin
A tattoo of Frida Kahlo on her skin 
Sang folk and blues and bet it all 
Her voice like a summer squall 
Songs tumbled down like a concrete wall
In the thunder
Over Berlin tonight

Played Odetta lit her smoke
Her laugh caught up in an inside joke
A heart that wore the night just like a coat
She chased the moon just so far
Silhouettes and empty bars
Burned up her past like a shooting star
Like a comet
Over Berlin tonight

Once met Cohen in ’75
10 feet tall a bird on a wire
The lights over Berlin were on fire
A couple of chords a serenade
Her voice like dusk on the longest day
Old poets only slip out and fade to grey
In a whisper 
In the city tonight
In a whisper
In the city tonight
In a whisper 
Over Berlin tonight

Whisper Over Berlin (featuring Joliz)

A son whispers his love to his sick, elderly Mother as she lays in her hospital bed

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Midnight roads and freeway lights
Chasing dawn, no sleep tonight
Four hundred miles to see your face
And hope you feel my love's embrace

Chorus:
In the quiet of 5 AM
Whispers of love, again and again
Through a safety mask, I speak to you
Praying somehow my words break through

Verse 2:
Machines beep a solemn tune
In this sterile, lonely room
Your eyes don't open, but I still see
The Mum who once comforted me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Don't know what tomorrow brings
But today, my heart still sings
Of memories and time gone by
And love that never says goodbye

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
As I drive away, the sun rises high
Carrying hope across the sky
Whatever comes, this much is true
I'll always be right here for you

Morning Whispers
