Note: For my friends on Sound Cloud who don't speak any french the word phoque (pronounced phuck) in french means a seal. Hence the title of the song in english would be The Blues of A Seal In Alaska. It's the story of a seal in Alaska whose girlfriend leaves him go perform in a circus in the United States and he's got The Blues

This is my version of the classic québécois song originally written by Michel Rivard. The english equivalent when "feelings" are concerned would be a combination of Summertime and House of The Rising Sun as far as immortal songs are concerned.

C'est ma version de la chanson classique québécoise écrit par Michel Rivard. L'équivalent anglais comme "feeling" serait un combination de Summertime et The House of The Rising Sun en ce qui concerne des chansons immortelles.

Music & Lyrics: Margareta Theorin

I CAN´T SEE YOU CRY

I´ve been playing a game
called love.
My feelings was a scene
from a movie.
It was easy I made a success
everyone wished our happiness.

But when you noticed in my diary
that my love to you was just an act.
I didn´t know that a man
could take it so hard.
Oh darling I can´t see you cry.

I did what I thought was right.
I wanted to have someone.
I used every trick I´d seen
in some old film movie scene.

Maggie Sunrise 2

I can´ t see you cry. 733 ( 1996 ) Margareta Theorin-Eddy Mango ( Margareta )

Il avait sa canne
Et son chapeau
Il avait paname
Pour drapeau
Oh, oh..

Il avait sa canne
Et son chapeau
Toujours la banane
A fleur de peau
Oh, oh..

Il avait sa canne
Et son chapeau
Il courait les dames
En Petit Bateau
Oh, oh..
Toujours partout

Il avait sa canne
Et son chapeau
Elle était basanée
Sa peau
Oh, oh...

Il avait sa canne
Et son chapeau
Il crachait des flammes
Et des crapauds 
Oh, oh..

Mais un jour goddamn
Plein le dos
Il a pris sa canne
Et son chapeau

Et de Rotterdam
Un cargo
Direction Brisbane
Ou Frisco
Oh, oh...

Et puis de sa canne
Et son chapeau
Abracadabram
Plus un mot

Dans l'ultime flamme
D'un zippo
Bye Lawrence Adams
Rideau !!

Il avait sa came
Et son chapeau
Chapeau !!

Au printemps, flâner dans la ville
En pensant à des choses futiles
Quand reprend le cycle des saisons
Prendre un peu l'air, prendre son temps
Le temps a toujours raison

Après la pluie et la tempête
Les ombres que la vie nous jette
Marcher au soleil, comme c'est bon
Narguer le temps tout en sachant
Qu'il aura un jour raison

Raison de nous
De nos joies, de nos peines
De nos révoltes, nos rêves
Du pareil au même

Parfois je m'assois
Et je compte tout bas
Le temps qui reste
Et je dis à quoi bon?
Si c'est le temps qui a raison

Et ces passants passés si vite
Ces regards lassés que j'évite
Raisons de plus de traîner au square
Métro d'avance ou de retard
Aussi vaines soient nos raisons

Raisons de nous
De nos joies, de nos peines
De nos révoltes, nos rêves
Du pareil au même

Parfois je m'assois
Et je compte tout bas
Le temps qui reste
Le temps qui restera

I could be fooled by
The best in the business.
I could be beaten and dragged to the side.
Fully depleted but never run dry
Of words like these 
They scatter like flies.


Row, row, row your boat / Gently down the stream / Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily / Life is but a dream

Row your own boat Man........ 
Dream like it mattered

Meaning ONE

Your boat = your life.

The stream = time. Water is always moving, so is time.

Row, row, row = you’re constantly rowing, constantly moving through life, constantly working at it. You don’t just row for a little while and then rest. Uh-uh. No breaks. No rests. Life. Keep moving.

Gently = It’s not a race. You aren’t racing toward the end – um, your death –are you? Gently row through life, don’t hurry. It’s the trip (life) not the destination (death).

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily = attitude, personality, character. How you look at things, positive versus negative, optimist versus pessimist. Be happy, be passionate on the way. They say attitude is everything. Enjoy your life, enjoy the ride.

Life is but a dream = Dream or nightmare, we have the ability to choose what our life will be. We cannot decide what happens, but we can decide who we are, what we become, how we react, how we cope. It’s our life, our dream. And our choice.

 

Meaning TWO

Boat = body. It’s the vessel for your movement, changes, growth, learning, development, awareness.

Row, row, row = you have to work for what you want in life, have to apply effort to get where you want to go. Unless you row, your boat won’t go anywhere. Be careful of distractions that could pull you away from your goal. But don’t be so focused, have such blinders on, that you don’t remain open to change, to life, to possibilities.

Gently down the stream = let go of the past, move toward your future. Row gently because to push or force or fight the natural direction your life is leading you will only create stress and upset.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily = you may already have it hard. Don’t make it worse. Water can be rough but you can get through. A negative attitude will not help, in fact, it will make things worse. Use the challenges you face to make you a better person.

Life is but a dream = touches on the dreamlike state of reality. The world is physical around us, yet thoughts and emotions change, shift, alter, transmutation making something less physical, solid. Dreamlike.


RANDOM Meaning

Row, row, row your boat:
You have to row your own boat. No one else’s. Don’t try to control other people. Control yourself.

Rowing takes skill. Practice makes perfect.

When someone is rowing on their own, it implicates free will and the choices they make that decide which paths they take.

When rowing with others, it touches on the need to work together, in unity to reach the intended goal.

Gently down the stream:
Force creates resistance. Don’t resist if you can flow along with the water’s natural path and make something of it. This is different than fighting the challenges, the bumpy stream’s road.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily:
Take challenges in stride, meet them with a joyous attitude and a smile. Go with the flow.

This is not a rehearsal, not a dry run, not a trial run before the real thing. This is the real thing. You might as well enjoy it. Don’t waste time being upset longer than need be or by holding grudges when you could be happy instead.

Life is but a dream:
So stop making it a nightmare.

It has religious overtones of how life is simply the dream before the consequences/rewards.

Life is only a dream, not real. Everything you do is meaningless. (I don’t like this one.)

Life is a short moment. Only a dream when compared to our eternal soul’s existence.

They Scatter Like Flies: conover/régnier

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap 
Wanna know where to go

Can't we please find a way to explore all the differences
Can't wait please find a way to move forward down the road

Will you need a compass
Will you find the north star
Flying by the seat of your pants

Read your maps and make a firm plan
Fill up with petrol and take plenty of snacks

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap 
Wanna know where to go

guitar:


Man don't need direction

Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap

A E R O P L A N E :  (Conover/Régnier/Welin)

Little Kiku you made me smile this morning
while we had coffee out 
the rain began to fall on our menu as we planned our famous day … 
and then you reach to me 
and that look in your eye could stop every single bird in this sky or at least they would try to slow down 
those little birds could slow down

are you not sleeping well
are you eating all right
do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
i love you Kiku

Are you not sleeping well
Are you eating all right
Do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
I love you Kiku
I love you Kiku

Little Kiku you know I have no way of finding you in this big dark city 
This big dark city tonight
come home
just come home to me

we can go out for coffee
we can stand in the rain
just let me explain
just let me explain

and then you reach for my hand
and I see that look in your eye
you could stop birds in the sky 
or at least get them to slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down 
slow down
It's 10 o'clock......
night night

Full lyrics 

I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - a pauper with a grin - but long gone is that shame - i used to be someone - but now it's gone to hell - I'm withering away - same grin is painted thin - i search for something new - i wish for everything -And i had everything - but without you there's something missing - did you read my verse - did you hear my crying words - did they mean anything at all - will you meet me for one last call- 

Once upon a time - in world that  once knew - when i was in my prime - and everything was you - i kept my end of the deal - but i couldn't keep up with you - Does it matter how i feel? - Never thought this'd get so real - did you read my verse or were you busy living in doubt - so subtly you missed - what it was all about 

So many words we said to one another....... can't take them back we're way too broken - I'd like to think we came a long way since then - just got this bath of blood to soak in yeah.........

I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - you used to be convinced - exactly of the same - i used to be someone - but now it's gone to hell - my soul is hanging low - my smile is not so well - oh baby I'm still here - open your eyes I'm right in front of you - did you read my verse - or were you busy being you - I wish you'd read my verse - laid it all on the line - not much more to say - can't keep what isn't mine

So many words we said to one another....... can't take them back we're way too broken - I'd like to think we came a long way since then - just got this bath of blood to soak in yeah.........

Baby did you read my verse - cause i opened up my wounds - i put it all in front of you - Smile will be ending soon - I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - you used to be convinced - exactly of the same.

Did you read my verse

A summer song imagined by Annie Smart (https://soundcloud.com/annie-smart-1) and myself.

Share This Moment With Me (with Annie Smart)

Okay guys! I won't mention what language it is I included in this song. I actually wanted the song to be entirely in the language (yeah the language cos I'm not mentioning it😁 try guessing and let me know your answers no google please😁)  
When I started, I met a native speaker of the language. I told him, "I'm writing a song in your language" He replied, "What!" I laughed but repeated it and what he said next was, "Blunders"🤣😁
That made me forfeited the idea with hope to improve and research more before I execute my idea. I have been writing a song in Spanish language, it's two years now, that song hasn't been completed. I kept postponing to execute my idea with this phrase, "I can do better"  constantly following.
"Perfect songs are made in heaven", Said my Song writing Professor. "You are here waiting to write perfect songs when others are winning awards with imperfect songs" he used to tell us.
Well, you get the drift. Perfect or imperfect I tried something different this time and I hope you like it. Have a nice start to the week, guys!

KOCHAM CIĘ

Verse 1

Home alone!
Looking at my phone
I know this sounds so crazy
But everything feels so hazy
Just looking at your lovely face
Oh, I'm humbled by your grace

Will dial you, maybe
And call you, "Baby!"
Sounds so cheesy 
But you make me feel dizzy
Make you my first lady
Then we'll soar high in the sky
And shut the town down

Pre-chorus

If I don't say, I love you!
Then when would I do?
There's no better moment than now
What I'm feeling is true
It's running me through
I Won't hush this time around

Chorus

Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię!
Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię

Verse 2

Lovely one
Oh, precious gem stone
When you smile its just sweetness
Oh gosh, you're my weakness
You take my breath away
And make brand new my day

Cześć Malenka
Hej Ślicznotko
Księżniczko...hej hej hej hej
Śliczne oczy
Wspaniała
Piękna dama... Świet..Świet..Świetna

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge

I so much love it how you call me
Then I go bright like fire work in the sky
I so much love it how you look me
It powers me and shoots me high

Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię!
Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię


it's what I'm feeling...I'm feeling
it's what I'm feeling...I'm feeling

When The Wind Dies Down

Texte Français et Google traduction

LA POUDRE BLANCHE...

Il se jouait à la russe
Bravant sa roulette
Se cherchant des plus
En laissant les miettes.
Il écœurait de sentiments
Surtout pas de haine
Aux injustices seulement
En vivant dans la peine.

Il se prenait des interdits
Qui grilleraient son temps
Sans se trouver maudit
Pour rêver en plus grand.
Il traînait son ombre
La suivant par derrière
Les regards de ce monde
Pas bien fait pour lui plaire.

La poudre blanche, retrousser la manche
Et quand bien même, ceux qui en prennent
Il n’y aura plus, depuis le début
Aux artifices, que la fin de triste

Il mettait ses oeillères
Pour aller tout droit
En courant vers l’enfer
Qu’il espérait moins froid.
Ce n’est la peur au ventre
Qui le ferait partir
Aux ténèbres impatientes
Mais pourquoi vouloir en finir?

Il se riait des sorts
Dans tous leurs tirages
Taquinant la mort
Qu’elle vienne avant l’âge.
Dans les méandres des rues
Malfamées de racailles
Il s’était tout juste perdu
Mais fallait-il qu’il s’en aille?

La poudre blanche, retrousser la manche
Et quand bien même, ceux qui en prennent
Il n’y aura plus, depuis le début
Aux artifices, que la fin de triste,
Que la fin de triste.

Salut bien bas, adieu à toi.

WHITE POWDER

He was playing Russian
Braving his roulette
Looking for each other
By leaving the crumbs.
He was disgusted with feelings
Don’t you hate me
To injustices only
By living in pain.

He was taking prohibitions
That would blow his time
Without being cursed
To dream bigger.
He dragged his shadow
The next one from behind
The eyes of this world
Not good for her.

White powder, roll up the handle
And still, those who take it
There will be no more, from the beginning
To the artifices, that the end of sad

He wore his blinders
To go straight
Running to hell
That he hoped less cold.
It’s not fear in the belly
That would make him go
To the impatient darkness
But why do you want to end it?

He laughed at the spells
In all their prints
Teasing the death
Let her come before age.
In the meanders of the streets
Thugs of the street
He just got lost
But did he have to go?

White powder, roll up the handle
And still, those who take it
There will be no more, from the beginning
To the artifices, that the end of sad,
Only the end of sad.

Hello down, goodbye to you.

Come Get It

Starting Off This Day - Feat. J BeAt

Written by Terry Reeves

Terry Reeves: Vocals
Hans Albers: All instruments, Arrangement, Production & Final Mix

Watching my brother Bri living out the last few months of his life was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.  We had been told that there was no cure for his illness and that, at some point, the inevitable would happen.  But right up until the final few days, he refused to accept this, believing that, somewhere out there, there was some magical remedy he would find to take it all away.  He consulted with so many ‘alternative’ therapists, who all promised their brand of snake oil would deliver him from all that ailed him.  These were always both expensive and totally useless.  

A few weeks before he died, I was sitting by his hospital bed when he actually asked me, “Do You Believe In Magic?”  Knowing what I knew, what possible answer could I give?  Bri already knew the answer too but, all the same, I wished I could have given a convincing and unequivocal ‘yes’.  Difficult though it undoubtedly was, I had to reply that I didn’t but wanting to support him as best I could, told him I believed in him and would always love him 

There is nothing worse than watching someone in their final moments, particularly when they have been such an essential part of your life.  As you get older, facing this scenario becomes unavoidable and though age provides a better understanding of the fact, it never reduces the pain.  Both Gal and I faced similar bedside questions from Bri and this song tries to reflect those onerous, interminable times when one has to be both supportive and honest all at the same time.   

What can you say about Hans that hasn’t already been said?  When I sent him the demo of this song I did wonder if the subject matter may prove difficult.  But his  incredible ability to manifest every emotional nuance in his arrangements is something that always inspires and impresses, as demonstrated so beautifully here.  (Terry Reeves)

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in changing world?
Do you believe it's tragic?
Do you believe there's more to be told? 

Casting spells with waving hands
Praying thoughts with pagan strands
Making deals with Devil's soul
Sharing fears for spirit parole
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in immortal thoughts?
Do you believe in metric?
Do you believe in nine times nought? 

Tribal dancing, releasing curse
Tantric thinking, avoid the worse
Watching stars for future needs
Not drinking tea but reading leaves
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in sacrifice? 
Do you believe in panic?
Do you believe in rolling dice?

Chanting mantras one more day
Reiki heat takes pain away
Resurrection not in the plan
Wooden cross protect the man
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in searching prayer?
Do you believe in medics?
Do you believe in going nowhere? 

Holding bible in folded arms
Writing words, performing psalms
Chasing shadows, finding light
Avoid the truth, increase the fight
(Repeat verse)

No, no

Do you believe in magic? (Repeat until end)

The cameraman
“The Camera Man” by Three Photons is an indie-blues rock track with strong 60s/70s experimental vibes and gritty, analog production. It blends crunchy rhythm guitars, ambient leads, and emotionally raw lyrics that explore themes of isolation, media distortion, and urban disillusionment.

I imagine a cameraman sees a lot of things he doesn't want to see or believe ;-)

Lyrics

Verse 1
It's a camera eye
I look away
or I go blind
it ain't pretty
livin alone in this dirty city

Chorus 1
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin in the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Verse 2
Hey girl
it ain't pretty
going on down on this empty life
you sure are witty
I can't stand one more lie....

Chorus 2
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Outro
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me

The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

Lyrics (keeping it sparse as usual and to the point)

Verse 1
Your Life – it’s a beautiful thing
One Life – it’s yours to win

Chorus 1
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away

Verse 2
Sometimes life, it takes you away
To another time, another place

Chorus 2
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away

Bridge
When your heart longs for another day
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

Outro
Dark clouds bring a brand new day
Dark clouds wash it all away
Wash it all away…

The darkest clouds

Empty Streets

Always loved this track of mine so I tried to upgrade the sound a little bit. Hope you'll like this new version as much as I do!

l have come to play
At ready for the ride
Yipeee chai yay - yipeee i away
Conscious be my guide

Life is fraught with joy
That's just fine by me
Hey diddle diddle cool cat on the fiddle
Holy cow now jump the moon

What do you say
Feel like a ride
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up

Down the alley blind
Slam the wall full speed
Dust off my duff more&#39;s not enough
Peace is not a greed

Joy is fraught with love
A song for all to sing
Do be do be do i love you
Be cool if you love me

What do you say
Feel like a ride
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up

Patience is all ears
To forge the next advance
Evolve resolve dissolve to solve
This be an all souls dance

Love is fraught with life
Tis a measure to be met
The sleuth of truth resides with youth
Come out come out come play

What do you say
Feel like a ride
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up

On life we bond on joy we bond on love we bond on life we bond on joy we bond on...

Buckle Up - with W.E.. Bartolotta & Boon Hidefumi Suzuki

Out of The Blue

Out of the Blue

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