something from the 2000s on one of the most difficult things in the world: indecision

Every morning starts the same
Chasing whispers in the frame
Little choices call my name
Whisper loud or stay the same
 
In the mirror stands my fight
Half a shadow half a light
Every step’s a line to cross
Every pause could mean a loss

Do it do it or leave it
Take it or break it
Face it or fake it
Do it do it or leave it

Dance it, dance it, don't doubt it
Feel it, reveal it
Chase it or waste it
Live it, believe it

Do it or don't

Pulled between two distant tides
Walking roads where truth collides
Voices echo in my mind
Seeking peace I'm yet to find

Tears unspoken, fears untold
Hearts divided, growing cold
Paths diverging in the mist
Each choice wraps tighter like a fist

Do it do it or leave it
Take it or break it
Face it or fake it
Do it do it or leave it

Dance it, dance it, don't doubt it
Feel it, reveal it
Chase it or waste it
Live it, believe it

Do it or don't

Beneath the stars, a silent plea
To find the strength inside of me
As the world pulls me apart
I search for balance in my heart

Bound by chains of doubt and fear
The unknown paths that lie near
Yet, hope's whisper guides me through
Mending what feels torn in two

Do it do it or leave it
Take it or break it
Face it or fake it
Do it do it or leave it

Dance it, dance it, don't doubt it
Feel it, reveal it
Chase it or waste it
Live it, believe it

Do it or don't

Do it or leave it

en pensant à Platon ( peu de Socrates aujourdhui, à l'heure où règnent pourtant et pullulent les nouveaux sophistes, je veux dire les "experts" autoproclamés qui tout en ne sachant rien, peuvent parler de tout, et préfèrent en tout la force de l'opinion immédiate à la recherche lente et assidue de la vérité

Dialogue avec l'Idée

another old recording that is  part cover part original
about my 90s fascination with Hope Sandoval and Mazzy Star...just sweet and simple music  beautifully performed in a soft understated fashion..Very soothing band to contrast with the grunge of the times that I also liked. Fade Into You although a big hit overshadowed the rest of their catalog.

For this tune, some of the words are lifted from Fade Into You.. but most are mine
I was never infatuated with her like the song suggests...I just liked the band and music ..Watching YouTube videos 30 years later I was struck by the comments of many  who were  captivated by her beauty and singing style..
So I added the fan craze element to the song, but it is more from  my observations of her persona on others, and it is not my personal experience 
Her reticent, diffident singing style apparently was  linked to her awkwardness with fame and the crowds and the cameras.....
I believe she found the attention and the stress of performing very difficult and this I totally relate to
..social anxiety can be a heavy weight to bear.....
This is what I am trying to write about if you read the lyrics carefully 
For me, the song is  really about one shy singer connecting with another. 
Hope was very brave to do what she did, feeling how she did. Much respect


When I was a boy I struggled with sin    
Faith, Hope and lust, where do I begin   
A monster awakened, electricity            
MTV Mazzy Star, my Mary Shelley 
         
Look at her singing, this angel, my crush  
Head tilting, eye shifting, my brain turns to mush 
Raven haired beauty, so soft, shy and stiff 
Haunting my head, sweet sound from her lips 
 
She sang Fade Into You          
Strange that you never knew   
Fade Into You                             
Me she never knew                   

When I was a boy I struggled to play 
To find the right words, thoughts got in the way 
I was building momentum, just biding my time 
Found hope and erupted, I'm sure it's a sign

Look at her dreaming, I can't see her hands
White dress and black boots, they don't understand 
That what she is holding, It's a message from me 
I've sent it to her, right through the TV

Fade Into You                             
Strange that you never knew  
Fade Into You                             
Me she never knew                  

Dr. Frankenstein I presume
 Sad creature from the Black Lagoon 
Like Lon Chaney howling at the moon
No one understands

Little waif  her mystery
Spins a spell to transform me
Kinda awkward no apologies
The stranger takes a stand

So write up that novel, Hold the Hand inside me
Creature, Creator, our narrative freed
This life lived in shadow, come apart and go black
Can you put it together? Why you singing like that?

Fade Into You                             
Strange that you never knew   
Fade Into You                             
Me You never knew                    
Yeah me she never knew 
Me she never knew

NOT THE ONLY ONE
[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

[Verse 1]
‘Cuz deep down I know, if I’m feelin’ it
You’re feelin’ the walls closing in, too
Oh, and I wonder how you’re dealin’ with it
Discerning the falsities from the true

[Verse 2]
Now, I see your broken face up on my screen
From my living room and my heart hurts
Seems in America there’s little grass that’s green
And I hate to think it’s just deserts

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh

[Verse 3]
And it’s hard to say which one of ‘em is worst
The puppets or those pulling the strings
All I know is that this country is cursed
For the greed of men and shiny things

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad-sad-sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh

[Verse 4]
And when I’m feeling I was born too late
As if those who came before us had it better
If we could travel to an earlier state
We’d find ourselves one bird of a feather

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad, sad just the same
Just the same…Oh, I’m sad-sad-sad just same

I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody is suffering
Tired of playin’ the game..

Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh

NOT THE ONLY ONE

This is another cover of an oldies tune, 'Another Saturday Night*', written by the great Sam Cooke (he wrote the song while staying in a hotel where no female guests were allowed). But this version is a cover of another cover - Cat Steven's version of the song. Cat's version is more upbeat, with a bit of a Latin feel to it. Being a fan of both versions, I threw in a sample of Cooke's original at the very end, and the voices from the studio recording at the very beginning, including a count off by Cooke himself, just for fun. I REALLY enjoyed doing this one, and hope it shows in the recording. Thanks for listening.

All instruments played by me on keyboard:
-organ
-acoustic guitar
-flute
-trumpets
-alto & tenor sax
-piano
-bass
-percussion
-drums
-lead & backing vocals

*Song written by Sam Cooke

(apologies for my absence from Soundcloud lately; work & some recent vacation time keep getting in the way. how dare they!)

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
V1
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V2
The truth is a lonely place
So many lovers of the lies
Fitting in, you never could
There’s no need to agonize

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V1 REPEATS
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose – 
Just cut ‘em loose, ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death
Life or death
We all choose
We all choose..ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
