Waiting for dawn

She's waiting for dawn when the dewdrops will sit, on every blade of grass and the sky will be lit.... 
with just enough light, to see but not be seen, as she disappears softly just like a wakened dream.

She clutches her bag, her hands start to shake, as the panic grows her will starts to break.
A few more minutes more, another cup of tea and she'll leave this sad life and finally be free.

My blood on your hands.
too many times, too many times, you have broken me down.
Tears on my face, as you creep nearer, your breath loaded as I make no sound.

She stands at the door breathing in the fresh air, She knows deep down its the last chance if she dares. 
No more telling lies, no more scared for her life, no more breaks and bruises. 
No more being his wife.

My blood on your hands
too many times, too many times, you have broken me down.
Tears on my face, as I run faster, my heart thumping as I leave this place.

( original song I wrote based on a woman trying to escape her abusive husband. I started writing this with this visual in my mind but also used my own experiences of a past abusive relationship and the feeling of being frozen/trapped based on abuse I experienced as a child)

Waiting for dawn...mp3

the little lives of the ordinary people
brushed aside by the big ideas

drone footage overload from the very near east

brother

Sometimes it all goes slow.

All that we are
is not near or too far
all that we do
will not make us brand new

Take the ruby from my hand
and see how it glows
a thousand yesterdays will hold on tight
until we get home

We've travelled so far
not to know who we are
Curtains will fall
making clear to us all

Take the locket from my hand
and see how it shines
a thousand yesterdays won't make it last
until the end of time

I've waited so long
just to find
If you'd just

Take the ruby from my hand
and see how it glows
a thousand yesterdays will hold on tight
until we get home

Get Home

From Dusk Till Dawn

My Lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem.

NOTHIN' LIKE THE SOUND	
OF RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
ON A COLD WINTER'S MORNIN'	
WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPIN'	
	
NOTHIN' LIKE THE SOUND	
OF BACON FRYIN' IN A PAN	
WHEN YOUR WAKIN' UP	
ON A COLD WINTER MORNIN'	
	
(CHORUS)	
WINTER RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
WHILE THE WORLD GOES ROUND	
WINTER RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
NOTHING LIKE THAT SOUND	
	
TO COLD TO GO OUTSIDE	
TO BORED TO STAY INSIDE	
A TIME OF FRUSTRATION	
AND A LITTLE DEPRESSION	
	
WE LONG FOR A SUNNY DAY	
SO WE CAN GO OUT SIDE AND PLAY	
BUT THE WINTER RAIN	
KEEPS COMIN' DOWN	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
MY FRIEND, DON'T DESPAIR	
A REVIVAL IS SPREADING	
AND SPRING IS COMING	
CAN YOU FEEL IT IN THE AIR	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS - OPTIONAL)

Lyrics:

River of Dreams 

Take me down to be baptised in your River of dreams
And I’ll follow you where ever you may lead
I don’t pretend to know much but I know This one thing…
That God is Love, and Love means everything.

There’s been so many doctrines And insane philosophies 
Unending like the currents of the seas
But strip it down to love, And we’ll be able to see,
We’re all just flesh and bone from the same tree

Chorus 
And as I leave a trail of memories, And all the moments in between 
I found that love was all that mattered, And loved is how we’re meant to be

Verse 2
Now some of us are pretty much confused all the time
But I’ve never been more sure when I’m with you.
So wade me in your river, let me float for a while…
Your sweet embrace is like the morning dew.

Chorus 
And drinking from your sacred chalice, the vale of doubt will be removed
And gentle hearts will over flow in every way,
And say the things that words can never say….  Can never say …

Bridge:
Oh it’s you.. and only you!
That ignites my soul makes me lose control
Oh and you will never know,
How the words you speak writes a sonnet in my soul

So take me down to be baptised in your river of dreams, 
And I’ll follow you wherever you may lead.

Zapped!@1kw

[i got loads of bot plays on this for some reason]

the meme of 'the 3 magi' developing through the passage of millenia

[if anyone wants to redo this somehow using  all or none of the elements, it would represent the fragmenting and re-interpretation / embellishing / layering of ancient texts..]

the second of the 3 traditional 'dreams of the magi' on the night before departure....

k'asper dreams of  faces he knew
who succumbed to their addictions

he dreams also
of an estate in the country
to retire from journeying
settle up &
settle down

k'asper will look with longing at a few 'here's' on the way
little places where the air is thick with atmosphere
where the guard drops
and it's sunset forever.....
perhaps he will go awol, and a replacement will appear to fill his place

perhaps no mention of a swap in the text (hell..that's good old ancient writing :)) bit of a 'paul is dead' thing, but with togas or furs :))
but later 'scholars' gush over this song as a coded reference to a lost soul on the road, who has been airbrushed out, and conspiracies abound !
the main bone of contention seems to be about whether kasper was autobiographical or simply storytelling in this little note, that created a ritual song, many hundreds of years later

k'asper is often known by the epithet 'dab'ani' in celestian myth, meaning 'he who strays from the way'

that's as clear as mud then, yeh ?

................   .........   ............many............... ....... millenia........... later,
the 'magi in space' will find related documents and some audio sweeps to piece together 'what actually, actually happened?'....a popular 'meme' of the time

archaeology's reach has grown to allow much more accurate and penetrating research, peeling back the onion layers of time to reveal little microscopic details of the actual texture of cultures long gone

....it's time for your close up mr k'asper.....

i try to leave you
city of my birth
streets like a mother's womb
when i come back

my holy city
on the point of a needle
lining up the satellites
with all my ach-ieve-ments

and when i come back
you
city of my birth

snuggle me in your dawn
blue holes womb bells
in your evensong

i try to leave you
city of my birth

the streets in a mother's womb
when i come back

from lining up the satellites
from counting out the stars
with my
achie-ve-ments

faraway
from you
city of my birth

snuggle me in your dawn
the blue holes
the womb bells
your even song

.

i try to leave you
city of my birth

the streets like the mother's womb
when i come back

my holy city
on the point of a needle

journey of the magi : k'asper : city of my birth

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!
