Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Looking Up & Down

Looking Up & Down  ~ a song for Gary (video link in notes)

Keeping this up in the interests of national security...

 in honor of the toxic human being who would sacrifice everything for the sake of his own brittle ego  (if you disagree please don't bother telling me--we inhabit different cognitive universes, and I wish you the best in yours)

This Jeremiad just gets truer by the day 

hazy yeah I have a memory
bought with a ticket by the back gate it's coming to me now

if no one can name the deed there's no way to come back to me
there's no room in my house for back stabbers

I could be the one you need with the greatest of ease
you're gonna see a plan work out
you might be the one to bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I keep a list of all the things they've done to me
and a payback posse with a violent creed
you oughta know better than to fuck with me

I need a girl that keep her legs open and her mouth shut
don't say you didn't sign right there on the line
you'll be kicking and screaming but your ass is mine

who's that waiting there over by the dim light
I can feel the stare but I'm not scared
somebody's gonna bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I'm gonna burn this house down tonight
it's always been about me

Burn This House Down (explicit)

The Traveller From Nowhere.

======================

When I was a teenager I loved to write. Sometimes it was poetry, other times short stories, other times it was songs, and I even imagined their music, accepting that perhaps I would never hear them performed. Finally, he also expressed moods, experiences, concerns and desires through simple strokes.


Based on a written line, 5 years ago, I composed music about one of those texts.

Now, thanks to the collaboration of my friend Peter, his impeccable translation, diction and correction of the text, I have been able to incorporate and modify said composition, but, obviously, with text in English.

Thank you Peter, again, for your enthusiasm and help.

Lyric.

The Traveller from Nowhere

Like a whisper that drifts on the breeze. Our eyes fixed on each other,
watching time slither by. Time that ends beyond the lifespan of people and
the backdrop of their murmuring.

It seems I don't know where I'm from or where I'm going. I think and feel like
the traveller from nowhere, either crossing great distances, or, perhaps,
locked in a tiny room. Never to leave.

I imagine I am someone I am not, incarcerated and blind, ignorant of the
counting of the days, a spectator watching his own life trickle past himself,
wasted.

Thus I become a random observer from here, my place, failing to understand
with my diffuse logic all that surrounds me, and the banalities of the human
condition: evil, value, love, desires, and countless other emotions, character
traits.

Indeed, I am suffused with these emotions, emotions on which I greedily
feed, trying to comprehend, dissect and analyse the secret triggers that
generate them, all within an eternal search whose horizon is infinite. So, in
the end, when all is said and done, I realise that I know neither where I'm
from nor where I'm going... then, and only then, finally, do I grasp my destiny.

I am the one who once was somewhere, or possibly not. The one who
imagines worlds and lives but never really lives them. The nomadic one who
becomes that curious traveller from nowhere; surreal, anonymous, ethereal,
imaginary……drifting on the breeze.

Lyrics: Down Through The Midnight by Nat Daniels

Rolling downward, through the midnight
Bursts a glorious heavenly song
And It’s a chorus of Light and Angels
That pierced the night so long ago

Oh Glory in the highest
On this glorious Christmas Eve
And it’s so crazy oh…to imagine
What a night it must have been
The earth stood still and witnessed Holy peace ..
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

Choir:
Glory in the highest.. 

The gentle cry of a child that saved us
Will echo on ‘till all is gone,
But times have made life so confusing
And yet His love lives on in all

Oh Glory in the highest
Christmas Eve so long ago
And It’s so crazy oh.. to imagine
How a child could change the world
The earth stood still in silent reverie
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

So do you hear it, through the midnight?
Can you hear the Angels’ song?
Oh it’s only heard in your kindness ..
And you will hear their song of old

Down Through The Midnight

Piece Of Soul

Eighth notes I played
For morning light birds
I tricked in the windowsill
To inspire me with their sing

A page torn from my poembook
To see how far it stood
With a sonnet written on it
That I threw to the wind

(But) you don´t want (to) listen the notes
(But) you don´t want (to) walk with my boots
(You) only want a piece of (my) soul
And roll down a little drop

The essence of a flower
In a bottle kept
Gives (me) back the mountain smell 
When I close my eye

(But) you don´t want (to) listen the notes
(But) you don´t want (to) walk with my boots
(You) only want a piece of (my) soul
And the bird sang a sad song

Listen to the bird sending a piece of his soul
Listen to the bird flying now on his own
Listen to the notes and the poem I wrote
Listen to this song that never leave me alone

LES IMPREVUS MALENCONTREUX

Les imprévus malencontreux
Qui sèment le mal tout autour d’eux
Viennent bouleverser par leurs venus
Certains des jours et même plus
Sortent de l’ombre et des buissons
Nous jouent des tours à leurs façons
A faire des maux, pétrir nos cœurs
Partant de rires, on passe aux pleurs.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous font souffrir, font de leur mieux
Voudraient nous voir sur une image
Noyant nos yeux dans un naufrage
Passent à l’acte sans prévenir
Nous faisant mal, malin plaisir
Sans faire passer comme indolore
Ces coups de l’âme contre nos sorts 

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c’est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Faisant du mal tout autour d'eux
Viennent nous voir de temps en temps
Nous faire savoir tout simplement
Qu’ils peuvent d'une manière
Nous faire du mal, nous mettre en l’air
Et que seul’ment s’ils le souhaitent
Nous laisseront des jours en fêtes.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c'est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Que cherchent-ils contre tous ceux
Qui veulent vivre tout simplement
De grands bonheurs qui durent au temps
Pensant à chaque fois que tout bien
Vivant nos jours et leurs lendemains
Jetant les doutes à tous les vents
Pour que l'amour reste bien grand.

THE UNFORTUNATE EXPECTATIONS

Unforeseen events
Who sow evil all around them
Come to upset by their arrivals
Some days and even more
Come out of the shadows and the bushes
Playing tricks on us in their own ways
To cause pain, to knead our hearts
Starting with laughter, we move on to tears.

Unforeseen events
Make us suffer, do their best
Would like to see us in a picture
Drowning our eyes in a shipwreck
Take action without warning
Making us hurt, evil pleasure
Without passing it off as painless
These blows of the soul against our spells

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say to yourself again when….

Unforeseen events
Doing harm all around them
Come see us from time to time
Just let us know
That they can in a way
Hurt us, put us in the air
And only if they wish
Will leave us days of celebration.

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say again when is it….

Unforeseen events
What do they seek against all those
Who want to live simply
Great happiness that lasts over time
Thinking every time that everything is good
Living our days and their tomorrows
Throwing doubts to all the winds
So that love remains great.

LES IMPREVUS MALENCONTREUX

Lyrics and Music: James Toburen

In Blackmoor's quiet grace,
Tess, a flower in the open space.
Dreams like winds across the moor,
A shepherd's daughter, love to explore.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Marlott's fields, a world so small,
Tess, heeding destiny's call.
Durbevilles' door, a fateful night,
In noble disguise, love took flight.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Through fields of gold, she roamed,
A fleeting love, a heart disowned.
Stonehenge whispers ancient lore,
Tess, entangled, forevermore.

Angel's love, pure and fair,
Secrets unveiled, a heavy air.
Past shadows linger, a haunting song,
Tess, in sorrow, she did belong.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Stonehenge's shadows, a sacred ground,
Tess sought solace, fate unbound.
Gallows' shadow, a solemn stand,
Society's falsehood, destiny's hand.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

In Tragedy's Embrace, Unaware

In Tragedy’s Embrace, Unaware

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails".  St. Paul continues his treatise on love to the Corinthian church--but is it true?  God help us if it is not. It is the central message of Christmas; that He becomes one of us to show us what love is in an ultimate way.  
And we celebrate glimpses; to feel the heartbeat of a loved one, to look deep into the eyes of the beloved and glimpse the soul, to hold the hand of young and old, to give aid to the helpless, hope to the hopeless, to forgive with the hope of healing.  Is it possible that acting in faith and hope is love in action?  I think so, I pray so. Merry Christmas and may you be blessed by feeling the pulse of those around you:)
A very special thank you to Seagull @farout-music-studio for his inspiration on so many projects this year, for urging me out of my playing comfort zone, and being a patient friend in all our endeavors:)  Blessings and much love to you my friend.
