You Complete Me

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Rivas @j-rivas

Sung by Mark J Bennett

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

A little something Phil McWalter sent for me to listen to years ago. I sprinkled a little too much pixie dust on this one and so had to scrap the idea although he pulled off quite a nice mix on his site.

I recently re-discovered this daft song and decided to share it with you.   I first 'performed' it live aeons ago, at a very serious spiritual workshop, quite spontaneously (and a bit loudly),  after a day of intense meditation and self-discovery.  Although many appeared to enjoy the song, there was an abiding sense of disgrace at my flippancy and foolishness.  That sense of rebuke and naughtiness delights me still...

An absurd song indeed.. for absurd times :-)

She’s fallen in love with a teapot
don’t ask me how can it be done
for I’ve watched her in action caressing
the smooth round and shine of his bum

The grip of her flesh on his handle
the knuckles sharp gleaming and white
just the way that her tongue darts and moistens
when she reaches for him in the night

I’ve studied with great fascination
for it’s novel I’m sure you’ll agree
Is she limited by saturation
or can she constantly consummate tea?

think I’m falling in love with my teapot
I  guess I can see how it’s done
for I’ve studied with great fascination
the smooth round and shine of his bum

She's fallen in love with a Teapot!

This is a ghost story...

I’m waiting, just outside the garden wall
I’m standing where our vows were made
Still waiting, underneath the moonless sky
As the final light of summer fades

now one by one, the streetlights glow
And this becomes a magic place
But if you don’t come home, I’ll turn to stone
Like the statues by the garden gate

Heaven, is a place I cannot reach,  
So I walk this garden faithfully
My heaven, will be the day we’ll finally be
Where the flowers grow up wild and free

And as they bloom their perfume grows
It lingers in the humid air
If I could, I’d give all I owned
If in this moment we could share

I won’t give up, I won’t give in
I’m always waiting here for you
To see your smile, to touch your skin
As seasons come and go I’m here for you
 
One day we will rise up, above this twilight garden
When at last we’re together again 
Discovering new horizons

The Twilight Garden

4 Star Commended Entry in the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest

Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes' Night takes place on November 5th each year in Great Britain with bonfires and firework displays. It recalls the Gunpowder Plot of 1605; an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Guy Fawkes was captured before he could light the fuse to 36 barrels of gunpowder. Back in the day, children would make a scarecrow-like effigy of Guy Fawkes to be thrown on the communal bonfire during the 'celebrations'. In the run up to the evening they would ask for "a penny for the guy" to spend on sparklers, sweets or other treats.

We must remember every November, we must remember the fifth of November,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, the gunpowder, treason and plot,
With Mr Guy Fawkes evil intentions, he certainly got all of our attention,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, but did it succeed, it did not.

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

Look at the fireworks lighting the night sky, building the bonfires, building them so high,
Flames burning golden and hot, for the gunpowder, treason and plot,

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

Poor Mr Guy Fawkes, remembered to this day,
With burning bonfires and a firework display,

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

We must remember every November, we must remember the fifth of November,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, the gunpowder, treason and plot,

Penny For The Guy

Penny For The Guy (Graham Williams)

[Verse]
Broken voices
Trembling hands
Searching for something...
to believe in again

[Prechorus]
when hope is lost
backs against the wall
who will stand up..
and answer the call

[Chorus]
Be the truth
Be the light
Be first to the fight
Oh...
Be the one
Be the one...

[Verse 2]
millions of people
left out in the cold
praying for someone...
brave and bold..

[Bridge]
Fingers pointing
silence rings loud
Who will rise.. above the crowd

[Outro]
Be the truth
Be the light
Be first to the fight
Oh...Be the one
will you...
be the one...

Be The One (feat., Jon)

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
