One World Town (Brian Peters)

Let there be darkness
And let there be light
Let the sun and the moon
Keep the day and the night
Let there be evil
And let there be good
Another War of the Worlds
Where the Tree of Knowledge stood

Let there be pleasure
And let there be pain
Let the living mourn the dead
And let the dead rise again
Let there be trouble
Between the old and the young
Another Tower of Babel
A confusion of tongues
-
Don't wanna live in a one world town
Where nobody knows what is real
Where there is no up and there is no down
Cause you were made with magic
On the Potter's wheel
-
Let there be heaven
Let there be hell
From the Book of Revelations
To the worlds of HG Wells
Let there be loving
And let there be hating
Let a man know within himself
Of the road he is taking

Let there be heroes
Let there be gods
Let there be rebels
Who live under the sword
Let there be greatness
Outcasts and giants
Let the martyrs carve the roadways
With the prophets and the saints
-
Don't wanna live in a one world town
Where nobody knows how to feel
Where there is no up and there is no down
Cause you were made with magic
On the Potter's wheel

One World Town (w Jason Akita)

TAFFETA | Part 33

We are deeply saddened and concerned with the recoveries of children's remains at Canada's Residential Schools.  We fully support, and stand by, the Indigenous communities in demanding retribution and restitution from Canada's Government and Church establishments.

"Residential schools were run by the Canadian government and churches to forcibly assimilate 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children. Sweeping sexual and physical abuses were common and thousands of children died. According to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, about 4,100 students were killed, but that number is likely to climb. Experts think it’s closer to 15,000." vice.com, June 24, 2021
————————

June 23, 2021, 1323 children were found in hidden unmarked graves at former residential schools across Canada and this number is rising.

The lyrics for There You Are come from a monologue Myrh recorded on June 17th as the number rose from 319.

THERE YOU ARE
across boundaries of nations, corporations
the hidden secrets are the same
from corner to corner

i shall not stand

will they keep going
on this path of no life?

our children shall birth into their wombs/wounds
how we bare them truths!
look here! you broken ones, look here
no matter how you try to smother the spirit
it is only we that/who can bring you home

we missing, hunted, we dead

________________

As I was working on the original, instrumental version of this track I always felt like it needed the very human touch of vocals. What I heard in my head was the unmistakable voice of Myrh @myrhyum. A huge thanks for her creative generosity...it's always a great pleasure to work with her.

There You Are | Feat. Myrh

This song came to me at four o'clock in the morning.

#New #Original #Song #MerryGoRound

[Verse 1]
Before closing, ramen shop 
Hop into with a wet body
Snot and holding chopsticks
Line of sight like an electric shock

Like an abandoned little cat
Like a dog welcoming you
Seeking something warm, even though not frozen
We have mysterious lonely eyes

[Chorus]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

[Verse 2]
Before closing, beef bowl shop
Out of breath and jump in
Drink water while wiping sweat
Line of sight like dazzling illusion

You have him maybe so nice guy
I had a girlfriend, can't forget yet
But, why now here, we are, really don't get it
We have mysterious lonely dejab

[Chorus]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

[Bridge]
Like an abandoned little cat
Like a dog welcoming you
Seeking something warm, even though not frozen
We have mysterious lonely eyes

[Outro]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

Merry - Go - Round

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
