TEMPEST
by Alexander Pushkin

You saw a maiden on a cliff
Above the sea, all dressed in white
As, raging in the stormy mist,
The waves and shore were locked in fight;

As bolts of lightening flashed and poured
A crimson glow about her shape;
As round her head the tempest roared
And winds assailed her streaming cape.

O splendid sea and storm and mist!?
O gleaming heavens flashing free!
And yet that maiden on the cliff
Outshines that sky and storm and sea.

БУРЯ 
А. С. Пушкин

Ты видел деву на скале
В одежде белой над волнами
Когда, бушуя в бурной мгле,
Играло море с берегами,

Когда луч молний озарял
Ее всечасно блеском алым
И ветер бился и летал
С ее летучим покрывалом?

Прекрасно море в бурной мгле
И небо в блесках без лазури;
Но верь мне: дева на скале
Прекрасней волн, небес и бури.

А. С. Пушкин, 1825

This is it! 10 story sections, 10 releases of varying lengths. 

One interesting note about these last two pieces of music: The first one (Twelve Speaks Again) is about the newest thing I've written, and the second one (Home) is one of the oldest things included in the entire Time Machine Chronicles, dating from about December of 2000. I remember the date well, because I was hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with my pops. The idea that music preserves memory has been a huge part of this project.

Thanks for coming along on the journey, it's been a blast.

Time Machine Chronicles part 10 - The Conclusion

"Diane, something happened last week that proved to be life changing. I went to a local music store in a town where I was holed up on an 
undercover mission. Nothing too intense, just some normal stake out kind of procedures. My cover allows me to practice my drums while I'm 
on duty. Best case ever. 

Anyway, Diane, while at said music store, trying to find a certain obscure ride cymbal, the store clerk who was helping me managed to drop a 
drum machine on my kick foot, giving me two hairline fractures. Diane, remind me to send a thank you card to the store clerk. I believe his name was 
Bradlee. He was very kind and helpful. 

While laying on the floor in pain, realizing I wouldn't be able to drum for a while, even if I did find that cymbal when I made it back to me feet, 
I decided I should let fate intervene and buy the drum maching that landed on my kick foot. Diane, D3 was right, the digitakt is a machine not to be 
taken lightly, pun intended. 

Needless to say, I've been anti drum machine my whole life until now. The guys jaws dropped when I sent them some fine soothing 
energy transferring electronic beats to play with for our new single. Diane, remind me to designa  foot cast that doesn't itch. 
- Coop."

Passenger Braking

if I were to cop a ride with you
I would brake so hard
you would die by shards

I shouldn't be mean
my mouth just won't stop
don't drive me crazy
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

if I could find pedals on my side
I would brake so fast
you would fly right past

I shouldn't be mean
my brain just won't stop
if you make me hate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

passenger fails, my patience pales
I would brake so quick
that would do the trick

I shouldn't be mean
my jaw just won't stop
want to test your fate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

Harriet Tubman

Verse 1:
She was a master of a woman
Who brought many to Freedom
Risked life and limb in the pullman
Of the Underground Railroad to Freedom



Chorus:
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee

Verse 2:
From down South to Philadelphia
Conducting slaves to freedom’s area
Freedom
Risking her life for others
Men, women, and children’s mothers

Chorus 2:
Harriet, is free, so free
Harriet is free, so free
Freeee

Bridge:
70 people brought to freedom
In 13 missions
Moses never left anyone behind
She followed
The abolitionist network

Verse 3:
During the civil war
She didn’t avoid the gore
The first female to lead an assault 
A nurse, spy, and cook
At least according to the book

Leading the Combahee Ferry Raid 
in South Carolina


Chorus 3:
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad


Unused Lyric ideas:
Along the railroad
Risking her life
