Remastered by my dear friend TTAATTOO

Memories... ..  Remastered by TTAATTOO.

This is the first part of a large commission i recently received. Eventually it will be two 30 minute sound pieces installed in two rooms in an historic cottage on Hobarts Eastern shore. The music is about the life of Neil Davis - A Tasmanian born war reporter and camera man. Davis was the only journalist to film behind the lines of both opposing forces in the Vietnam War. He died in Thailand in the 1980's capturing his own death on film. He spent much of his life living in Asia helping the victims of war. Growing up in Rural Tasmania he was an expert horse rider, professional football player and a heavy drinker, gambler and party animal. The works will be accompanied by still and moving images and during the Clarence Jazz festival each night a local muso will improvise against both pieces simultaneously. Should be fun and noisy! This first section is about his early days on the farm just out of Hobart. Big Thanks to Anita Hustas and Phil Bywater for the Double Bass and Tenor Saxophone.

words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

how soon can you be here
i'm in need of our own sphere
you're in my mind
the way you make me feel
is like overhelming space
and time

with you i want to dive in

this beautiful delay

you've got what i need
i feel your energy
like an inner fire
our spaceship of love
flies timeless through the universe
of our desire

with you i want to dive in

this beautiful delay
   
i close my eyes it takes my breath away
in weightlessness we are one and so we stay
till it fades away

with a beautiful delay

c'mon now c'mon now
let's take our spaceship right now
let's dive in right now in this beautiful delay
c'mon now c'mon now
into this beautiful delay

Beautiful Delay

This is a jam on one of my favorite Hendrix songs.

Midnight (Jimi Hendrix) Jam

CITY OF DREAMS
I met you on the Roof
of the Roosevelt Hotel.
I threw a coin
into your wishing well.

Took the elevator
to penthouse 
number ten,
saw you from the balcony,
wanted to be friends.

Swimming in the fountain
at Washington Square.
I didn't recognize you,
you had changed your hair.

The dealers deal,
the children skate,
living in the shadow 
of the Empire State.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

We said goodbye 
in Puertorican-Chinese.
I'm on Eighth Avenue
down on my knees.

The wail of the siren,
the roar of the train,
you said goodbye,
it'ill never be the same.

You walk the line of fearlessness.
You cross the line of recklessness.
and you fight the line of hopelessness.
I want to be part of the scene
when we rebuild the 
City of Dreams.

THAT'S ROCKIN'

Sidewinder in the cattle pen
You always bite me and come 'round again
Keep knockin', no talkin'
Not shockin', i'm walkin'
I'm free, no "we", now that's rockin'

Puttin' on airs and tryna come off wit' class
on your belly more than a snake in the grass
Ball hawkin', c*** blockin'
Wood choppin', without stoppin'
I'm free to leave now that's rockin'

Meanwhile i was thinkin'...

You came a knockin' tried to get locked in with me
Sellin' yo' a$$ like it came with a guarantee
Your black hole heart crawlin' up that apple tree
You seem to exist just to f*** with me…

Memories you seem to pick and choose
I always amuse, you always confuse
Quit stalking', you're sleep walkin'
Silk stockin', now balkin'
I'm free, wee hee! now that's rockin'


Meanwhile i'm STILL thinkin'


You came a knockin' tried to get locked in with me
Sellin' yo' a$$ like it came with a guarantee
Your black hole heart crawlin' up that apple tree
You seem to exist just to f*** with me…

Meanwhile i'm STILL thinkin'

(hey queenie wanna dance? what? you're only sixteen?… does your mom
wanna dance?)

Comedy

When I think of all that got me interested in writing for film / tv, this is the type of music that pulled me in. I am the big baby that cries at the end of emotional movies with inspirational and beautiful songs. This music touches my heart. I hope it touches yours. I'm experimenting with different mixing techniques, please let me know how I can perfect it further, all comments welcome! Thank you so much for listening, as usual!

A Higher Calling

"Soberly Stoned"

last year i loved my beer
but this year i'm steering clear
my liver is yelling at me
but my mind wants a hit you see

a six pack turns into a case
and against sobriety i'm in a race
the evening beer like water from a well
but in the morning i feel like hell

i've quit drinking for this year 
i'm going to stay soberly stoned

the beer i just don't need
when i've got pandemic weed
the only problem is i can't go to the store
when i find myself needing more

a six pack turns into a case
and against sobriety i'm in a race
the evening beer like water from a well
but in the morning i feel like hell

i've quit drinking for this year 
i'm going to stay soberly stoned

“Dear Tom”

How’s the retirement, Tom?
Why now so quiet, dear Tom?
You’ve a cozy, small place here
Where a man could disappear
	Is that what you’re doing, Tom?

Do you get visitors,
Or only the odd, lost bird?
Friends are a blessing,
But even friendship’s passing.
	Do you have friends, dear Tom?

Where’re your pictures?
Don’t you have children?
Well, didn’t you marry?
Man, you’re just like a pilgrim!
Searching your life
Through the flowers and barbs,
Searchin’ alone under your very own star!

Did you get lonely?
What did you do then?
Did you have family?
Well, why didn’t you call them?
I’m sure they’d have loved
To hear from their uncle—
A family together
Lends old age a pleasure!

Listen’t’me blather, Tom,
I don’t mean to nag ya’, dear Tom.
The truth’s I admire you
And all that you’ve lived through.
	You’ve lived quite a life, dear old Tom

How did you do it, Tom?
What were you trying to prove?
Seventy years
And six careers
	I can understand why you’re so tired...


From a cop to an actor,
From a ref to a coach,
Have you ever considered
All the lives that you’ve touched?
Don’t be so modest
I speak from experience
An honest man like you makes a difference!

I should be going
It’s nearly past sundown
But I’ll visit again
Next time I am in town
Never you doubt it
I will return soon
As sure as I draw breath
And you lie in this tomb...

I won’t forget you...won’t forget you...won’t forget...
