The wind of hope
Rushes through the night 
Like a swift bird passing by 
And a love light shines 
Silver in the distance
Where fatigue and sadness leave
And a need appears

I’m waiting to meet you 
On an endless road
With a free wind blowing even more

And you are a stranger
You are one of those
That could help inflame
inflame my soul

Now sadness plays the blues 
Without notes or beats
With a strong desire to erase 
Blank faces in the street


What you perceive 
Has just cooled inside
But the past, like a dream
Will always warm your cry 


I’m waiting to meet you 
On an endless road
With a free wind blowing even more

And you are a stranger
You are one of those
That could help inflame
inflame my soul

Endless Road

Fantastic World

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

Qu'y a t'il entre nous ? (What is it between us ? )

Classical French comedy music. Thierry Clua Juin 2024

We conclude our Summer Series on a hopeful note and a glimpse into the future.  Mankind has finally found that it can accept the differences that divide us, share the bounty between us, and become a vast community governed by faith, hope, and love. How did such a thing come about?  We collectively took a step back from the brink of self-annihilation by realizing "we solve most things if we talk".  
Ironically, this was the most complex song of the five to put together,  We all had an idea of how we wanted it to turn out, and thanks to Seagull and a lot of talking between us behind the scenes, we came to consensus and a final version.  Our little band is proof "we can solve most things if we talk":)  It has been an honor to work with each of you: 
Music composition, 1st guitar (center), bass, synths, mix and production; Seagull, @farout-music-studio

And the key phrase at the end; The lovely little Finley, 7 years old.

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.
"We Solve Most Things If We Talk"

Contented Man (Seagull, Oddrun, Peter, David)

Once again, I realised the monthly @themusicollective playlist was almost upon me, so tried to quickly cobble together a song. The bulk of this (including verse 3, 4 and the chorus) originates from a songwriting challenge (of writing a verse or chorus a day for a month) I did during the lockdown, and I just added verse 1 and 2 this morning. Somehow turned into a song somehow dealing with anxiety and somewhat influenced by the current heatwave. Oh, and musically I stole the riff I figured out for Jolene!

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Monday morning pries your eyelids open with a cheeky grin
And without warning anxiety tries to start its quest of creeping in
You feel the scorching sun summon the heat 
The battle of torture and fun begins to tickle your feet

Verse 2
You try your best to fight the urge to give in to that smouldering weight
That lies upon your chest just waiting to be stirred before it
Grabs your head and heart and suddenly you’re afraid cos the
Biggest part of you can tell it’s too late

Chorus
You wanna
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness that’s rampaging through your head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To you and feel reality’s hold on you fall away

Verse 2
You throw a pinch of truth into a soup full of lies,
To hide the bittersweet flavour of your crooked alibis,
You hope that one more scoop will satisfy your hunger
But in the end it keeps your cravings alive for longer

Chorus
I wanna
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness that’s rampaging through my head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To me and feel reality’s hold on me fall away

Verse 3
You need a brandnew frame of mind without the cracks and the rust 
You’re kind of scared what you might find by wiping away the grime and the dust.
Try to assemble the pieces you have lost in a dream
And create something new you’ve never seen.

Chorus
You gotta
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness rampaging through your head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To you and feel reality’s hold on you fall away

Lady of Fire Poetry original poem by yours truly, Tanisha Jackland aka Lady of Fire Poetry

"You are comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements, and 8 gallons of water spread across 38 trillion cells.
You have been built up from nothing but the spare parts of the Earth you have consumed according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix, and small enough to be carried by a sperm.
You are recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur, and shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts and rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing.
You are not living on Earth. You are Earth."

~ Words by Aubrey Marcus

All That Is

Cherry Picking

A peculiar peace invades the heart when we do the right thing.

Uma estranha paz invade o coração
quando se faz o bem.
Sou bem capaz de amar o bem
só pela paz que ao mundo vem
quando Deus entorna o céu.

E, se eu chegar ao céu, serei um rio de Deus
para dar de beber aos filhos meus.
E, se eu chegar ao céu, em rio me irei tornar
para ver os meus filhos navegar.

O amor é luz, não se apaga.
Brilha para sempre no tempo.
Enche de paz a minha alma.
Onde há amor não há medo.

Uma Estranha Paz
