Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I don't write 'Story Songs' very often. This one's a deadly serious fictional tune that's likely way too close to realities that we all have, sadly, encountered in some form. If you've ever lost someone firsthand - a loved one, friend, or just watching or reading about these tragedies that occur all too frequently each and every minute of the day - you understand. Choose Life. Seek Help. Don't Give Up! If you know of anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts and tendencies or depression, intervene or help them find qualified community and/or medical assistance. Prayers and thoughts for all who know or have lost anyone this way.  www.crisistextline.org/textline/?gcl…QgoaQodyLYCwA
On Such A Fine And Sunny Day © - Original
Riff Beach - RiffWerx 2016
Found alone in what we thought was his happy home
We wondered how things ever got this way?
Pills helped him through the pain, the snow and the rain
Dark days could change his talk to shout 
That must have helped to ease his blues on out….

We later discovered exactly the kinda’ life he led
The day Doc retrieved a bullet from his head
Bloodied and slumped across his desk
Why Lord, he left one great big mess
On such a fine and sunny day

Chorus 
He sure seemed older than thirty-three
Yet, acted younger than he appeared to be
Lifelong dreams and big, bright plans 
Well, they all slid right through his hands
As we learned - one fine and sunny day

Bridge
You see - Sonny - became his self-appointed name
For that his parents took no blame
Nor, for the darkness that dwelled within
That had clouded his life way back when
He was but a young boy then

Sonny was quiet, never much to say
Maybe, a reason for what happened that sad day?
When Sonny decided to go astray
To another place so far away
On such a fine and sunny day………..
(Back to Chorus and Out)



On Such A Fine And Sunny Day © - Original

Temptation is always lurking and the grass is not always greener.  Home is where the heart is.  Keep your heart where it should be.  Don't wake up empty with regrets.  Love and cherish your family

Home (Original)

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

Blow on, Chilly Wind... New Mix

Tough one here.  In recent years, I have lost many family members and so many friend.  The deepest cut was the lost of my beautiful 31 year old daughter a few years ago this month.  As members of this human race we all share in these emotions and feelings.  Many, many good days, some sad.  SO IS LIFE

Dreams Don T Go Away (Original)

Regrets, lost, searching, lonely, sad, indifferent.  Just a short tune expressing some of these emotions we all have from time to time.

GIRLS ARE SCREAMING AT EVERY SHOW
IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT THE MUSIC
UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN

BUT FAME CAN DRAG YOU DOWN
IN THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN

Up Is Sometimes Down (Lyrics Tony Harris - Music / Vocals by Eddie Harrison) Original 2012

Friday is movie day for the wife and I.  Recently we saw the movie (12 Strong) about the first American soldiers to fight back after 911.  As the credits rolled at the end, this song played and has stuck with me.  Recorded  by Zac Brown and trio, Sir Rosevelt.  Love this song and tried a little version.  Thanks for the listen

I Finally Got back into my studio this week. It felt good to record an Original song.  
HIGHEST GAME WITH RULES

IM RUNNING THROUGH THE BACKWOODS 
NEAR THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
IT NEVER GETS ANY EASIER 
WHEN YOUR A PRISONER OF TIME
SO MANY HARDENED EMOTIONS 
YOU WEAR UPON YOUR SLEEVE
AS IF REACHING OUT TO KNOW ONE
WONT SPREAD YOUR DISEASE
WITHOUT A SOUND IM FALLING DOWN
ABOVE THE GROUND IVE COME UNWOUND
IVE PLAYED THE GAME I PAID MY DUES
IVE BEEN ON TOP AND LIT THE FUSE
THERES ALOT OF TAKE
ITS THE HIGHEST GAME WITH RULES
LYING IN THE GUTTER 
ALL THE FACELESS FOOLS
I CAME FROM NOWHERE
I HAD TO LEARN TO MAKE A BREAK
ITS BEEN NO BED OF ROSES 
I MADE MY MISTAKES 
WITHOUT A SOUND  IM FALLING DOWN
ABOVE THE GROUND IVE COME UNWOUND

Broken

Broken - Mixed/Mastered by Tyler Wickens

A Revised Original version of a tune that I had shared not long ago on SoundCloud, but way better now in that Tom Adams was gracious enough to provide his stunning Lead Guitar work. I loved what he did so much that I re-sang the song attempting to keep Vocals from stepping on or doing anything but gently wrapping around his Blissful guitar'ing. Absolutely love TA's unique, incredible style and playing, as always.  Honored to have him jump in on this one. Thanks a Ton, Tom. :D)))

To ruin your Brightest Day

Ah, nostalgia.  Maybe the older we get, the more we keep longing for days of our past.  Just some sweet memories of my childhood days living as share-croppers in the Louisiana Delta near the Mississippi River.

Big thanks  to the very talented Amanda for agreeing to sing on this bird-brained track. Please listen to her other tracks at @phoebeelena.

Lyrics:

Hey birdbrain
Why do you wanna hibernate?
Hiding all your love away
What's a boy to do?

So take flight
See you with the stars tonight
Staring with the eyes uptight
Starry eyed and blue

And in sorrow
words sting pretty and hollow
One day we'll be blessed
Hung on happiness
But in pity we wallow
love songs simple we swallow
Gather to the nest
Puff out proudest chest

So in vain
drumming on your windowpane
Some things they were meant to change
they could

And I won't fight
Birdsong bring me back to life
Bold as your brass neck
show me happiness
Tell me do you still sigh?
Starling seems like a long time
Beaten on a chest
Gather to the nest

Hey
Maybe we could take the chance
again

Bird song (by Amanda and Paul)

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Bas: Backing Vocals and Electric

No Woman No Cry /Featuring Hiroshi Kohno

Original song by Beth Williams from her ONE EMPTY CHAIR cd. 
LIVE PERFORMANCE : https://youtu.be/tjxxj_iyng0 (with story)
LYRIC VIDEO - https://youtu.be/vwbtcn1SWsE

She looks from her watch to the loud ticking clock
then at the pink stick em note on the calendar in her hand
Retama park it says, in big bold black letters
six P.M, May ten, and it’s signed sam
Though it’s barely two , she says ” I can’t leave this room.
There’s so much to do & Sam, Sam will be here soon

In a pastel of colors, hair neatly brushed
ready & waiting, cool breeze on the dust
She moves from the window, to the open door
then back to the same stare in the same spot once more
Not glancing at the row on strangers hanging in her room
moves back to the door cause Sam, Sam will be here soon
(Sam will be here, Sam will be here, Sam will be here soon)

CHORUS
She doesn’t know what year it is
Where that woman in the mirror lives
She only knows Sam will be here soon
(Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here soon)

In a garden of flowers, beyond the windowsill
honeybees suckle until they get their fill
A thousand times over, the window to the door
she glides like a skater, cross the hardwood floor
No one passing by can tell you why she stays in her room
singing oh so softly “Sam….Sam will be here soon”
(Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here soon

One Empty Chair

Sam Will Be Here Soon - Beth Williams

This song is simply a variation of an Original Collaborative Project that Tony (Tony's Lyrics) and I had created awhile back. Slight lyrical revision and perspective with similar music. Original and revised Lyrics created and inspired by Tony. Vocals, Instruments, Music, and Production - Riff Beach. Not intended to take the place of the Original Tune, but more just an Alt version of our previous effort. Lyrics follow:
Let It Flow ©
Harris-Beach Original
Copyright: Harris-Beach 2020
(Verse 1)
Make some music because you love it
Don't hold it deep inside
When it feels right you'll know it
Because when it's real, it's hard to hide
(Verse 2)
Just pour your heart into it
Let the words and emotions flow
Sometimes the hardest thing
Is to just let it go....where it wants to go
(Chorus)
Let the Music Flow
No, don't you keep it inside
Let it Flow...Let it Float
Let it take you for a Ride
Let it Flow...Let it Float
Let it take you for a Ride 
(Verse 3)
Let the words come from your soul
You know you've just gotta’ let it out
Let your emotions take control
Don't fill your thoughts with doubt
(Bridge)
Always follow your dreams
For you might never know when
Everything's closer than it seems
Once you learn to just let go

Illustration : N.L

Il y a deux mois, Tom Regnier, un ami de la communauté soundcloud, et dans laquelle nous suivons mutuellement nos activités musicales, avec beaucoup de plaisir et d' affinités, m' a proposé une collab'
C'est à dire qu'il m'a envoyé une de ses musiques ,piano principalement, en me proposant d'en faire faire une chanson, et carte blanche pour moi
Classe, Trés classe, Merci infiniment, Tom,
Alors, après quelques écoutes, m'est venu cette idée, ce titre, et l'ambiance..et de suivre ce fil là..petit à petit
Ecrire de façon spontanée sur sa musique,
Exercice inhabituel pour moi
Et c est justement là que c'est interessant
se frotter à l'inconnu.
Alors, j' ai imaginé Lola,
Personne seule , fragile et forte à la fois,
à un moment particulier de sa vie intime
Dans sa solitude comme dans sa liberté
Lola, c'est
Toi,
moi
C'est nous

Merci à Tom pour son esprit de partage, son empathie, et sa patience

C'est Une histoire simple......
J'espere juste qu'elle vous parlera
Merci

Lola, ou la dernière Plage

Dimanche soir, six heures moins le quart,,
Au 28, rue des 40 èmes rugissants
Lola se remet la dernière plage de l’album
Comme tous les soirs
C’est toujours à cette heure là, que ça peut partir en vrille
Entre chien et loup, ça ne plaisante pas
Ca fait pas de cadeaux
Elle s’est accrochée comme une dingue à ce disque,
De plage en plage, de caresses en baffes, de rage en déferlantes…
D’hommes venus, d’hommes partis,
Lola s’échoue sur…

La dernière plage
La dernière plage
La dernière plage

La vie est dure, alors Lola s’accroche aux branches,
C’est la meilleure façon de ne jamais perdre le ciel de vue
Lola se sent invisible, mais elle est fière et forte
Comme tous les humbles flamboyants
Ni princesse ni sorcière,
Lola ne veux pas rentrer dans les cases
Lola veux juste qu’on lui foute la paix
Après tout, elle ne l’a pas volé
Elle n’a pas de comptes à rendre.
Elle a fait ses preuves
Elle est libre, non ?
Lola sourit
Au beau milieu de

La dernière plage
La dernière plage
La dernière plage

Lola ferme les yeux,
La dernière chanson,
Sa préférée, bien sur,
Cette voix qui la caresse, qui la rassure, ces mots qui content une histoire, peut-être son histoire, elle se dit :
Qui sait, peut-être que c’est pour moi toute seule ?
C'est tellement drole
Comme ça me ressemble
Et comme ca fait du bien…
De se retrouver sur..

La dernière plage
La dernière plage
La dernière plage

Approximate translation:
The last beach
the last track, too, i precise, because in French, track and Beach are the same word" plage"..;o)

Sunday evening, a quarter to eighteen,
At 28, 40 emes roissants streeet
Lola is playing again the last track in the album
Like every night
It's always at this time that it can go into a spin
Between "dog and wolf", ain' no time to laught
Nor gifts
She hung on this record like crazy,
From beach to beach, from caresses to slaps, from rage to breaking waves…
Men came, men left,
Lola runs aground on ...

The last beach
The last beach
The last beach

Life is hard, so Lola clinbs to the branches,
It's the best way to never loose sight of the sky
Lola feels invisible, but she is proud and strong
Like all the flamboyants humbles
Neither princess nor witch,
Lola don't want to go in the boxes
Lola just want to be left quiet
After all, she didn't steal it
She is not accountable.
She made her proofs
She's free, allright?
Lola smiles
In the middle of

The last beach
The last beach
The last beach

Lola closes her eyes,
The last song,
His favorite, of course,
This voice which caresses her, which reassures her, these words which tell a story, perhaps her story, she says to herself:
Who knows, maybe it's all for me alone?
It's seems so strange
How it's looks like me
She says to herself, Lola, and how good it feels ...
To end up on.

The last beach
The last beach
The last beach

Lola, ou la dernière plage

Homeless camps 10,000 strong around here. River access and bike trails are now tent cities. 
Keeping the mood light with this blues number though.
SKID ROW BOOGIE BLUES lyrics Glen Granthem
EVERY HAND REACHING OUT
ON EVERY CORNER THERE'S NO DOUGHT
A WINTER FREEZE IS COMING DOWN HARD
WELL SOME WON'T WORK SOME ARE WEAK  
THERE'S SOME ON DRUGS THEY JUST CAN'T BEAT
DOWN ON YOUR LUCK ON SKID ROW
SOLO.....
YOU FOUND A PLACE TO DO YOUR TIME
IT DON'T TAKE LONG TO LOOSE YOUR MIND
WHEN EVERY FACE YOU SEE LOOKS THE SAME
EVERY DAY COME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU WALK THE STREET AND DO YOUR TIME
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW
SOLO...
SKID ROW... SKID ROW...
A CITY OF TENTS ON THE RIVER BANK
WHEN OFFERED A JOB THEY SAY NO THANKS
THEY JUST WONT TRUST THE SYSTEM OR THE PLAN
THEY HAVE THERE RIGHTS AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS
BUT ALL ALONG THE PRESSURE MOUNTS
SURVIVING IN THE WORLD OF SKID ROW
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW

Point Nemo

Quel vent nous pousse dans le dos
A partir pour partir
Hisser la grand-voile en solo
Filer en douce sur les flots
Je vais au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Quel vent nous souffle au ciboulot
De partir pour revenir
Passer les caps et les fuseaux
Les pieds mouillés sur un bateau
Je suis au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Quel vent nous pousse dans le dos
Quel vent nous souffle dans le dos
Je suis au point Nemo
On se reverra mais pas de sitôt...

Point Nemo

TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
AH C’EST DUR DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT DE S’ÉVAPORER DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

ALORS J’AI MIS MON PARDESSUS MES BOTTES ET MON CHAPEAU
ET J’AI MARCHÉ DANS LES RUES SOUS LE GRIS CHAPITEAU 
J’AI ESPÉRÉ LE REVOIR MAIS COMME DANS UN RÊVE
C’EST TOI QUI M’EST APPARU MON VIEIL AMI DISPARU

DIRE QUE JE TE CROYAIS MORT ET RAYÉ DU PAYSAGE
COMME ON JETTE PAR DESSUS BORD SON EXCÉDENT DE BAGAGES
C’ÉTAIT BON DE TE REVOIR AILLEURS QU’EN RÊVE
DE POUVOIR RAFISTOLER LE TISSU DU PASSÉ

ET PUIS J’AI SUIVI MA DÉROUTE JUSQU’AU PÉRIPHÉRIQUE
ET DE LÀ J’AI PRIS LA ROUTE DESTINATION L’AFRIQUE
J’AI TOUJOURS VOULU REVOIR CE GRAND FLEUVE DE RÊVE
OÙ LE COUCHER DU SOLEIL CHANGENT LES EAUX EN MIEL

MAIS L’HEURE N’EST PLUS AUX VOYAGES AU PASSAGES DE FRONTIÈRES
Y’A CHANGEMENT DE PAYSAGE SUR TOUTE L’ÉTENDUE DE LA TERRE
ET PLUS MOYEN DE REVOIR SAUF EN RÊVE
LES PAYS QU’ON A AIMÉS LES AMIS QU’ON A SEMÉS  

ENFIN LA NUIT SUR PANAME RETOMBE EN DOUCEUR
EST-CE LA NUIT DE L’IGUANE OU CELLE DU CHASSEUR
ON SE CROISE SANS SE VOIR COMME EN RÊVE
PARFOIS UNE AILE NOUS FRÔLE UNE MAIN SUR L’ÉPAULE

ME REVOILÀ DANS LE NOIR ET BLANC DE MON LIT
PAS MAL ÉTONNÉ D’AVOIR RÊVÉ DE JOHNNY
PLUTÔT QUE DE TOI MON POTE MAIS LES RÊVES
N’EN FONT JAMAIS QU’À LEUR TÊTE LEUR MISSION EST SECRÈTE

ALORS AMIS DISPARUS Ô CHERS ABONNÉS ABSENTS 
QUI DU PASSÉ AU FUTUR SEREZ TOUJOURS PRÉSENT
JE VOUS DONNE RENDEZ-VOUS DANS MES RÊVES
VOUS LAISSANT LE CHOIX DU LIEU, DE L’HEURE ET DE LA NUIT

 TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
C’ÉTAIT COOL DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE VOIR DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

JOHNNY EN RÊVE (Lyrics)

Another John Prine song that I decided to try recording on a cold Winter day. Love his music!

Paradise (Raw John Prine Cover by Tony)

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
