THE BUZZING ROADS OF LOVE

Monday Playlist week of 10/18/2021

*future

Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj (Johnny Minstrel)

I whispered to the stars
They whispered to the moon
Who whispered to the clouds
in a merry tune
They whispered to the wind
Who blew upon the trees
Their swaying tongues did fling
it out across the seas

Chorus:
Ain't gonna talk to the stars no more
Ain't gonna talk to the stars

There is a war in heaven
And a bigger one on earth
Was I he who started them
Over my preserve

Chorus

That lazy river through the field
running out its course
Nature takes and nature gives
gently or by force

Chorus

Kissed her once or twice I held
her tightly in my arms
Thinking I could break the spell 
of another's charm

Chorus

Ain't Gonna Talk To The Stars

The Request

The Request 88 BPM

An instrumental hard rock track making extensive use of odd drum signatures, because they are sexy. 
I hope you´ll share my perception.

Getaway

Unbalanced Love Affair

Unbalanced

Introduction in English:
Sometimes there are situations in life to which there are no solutions at all. You may have already done and tried everything. Nothing has helped. 
The "doer" and "controller" in me goes to its knees in such moments. And out comes the part that surrenders completely to hope. Then in a kind of prayer to his inner God and in his inner church at least asks for an alleviation of suffering for all those where all rational or scientific techniques and methods have reached their limits.
This song is about such a kind of "hope prayer"

Introduction in German:
Manchmal gibt es Situationen im Leben, zu denen es keinerlei Problemlösungen gibt. Man hat vielleicht alles schon unternommen und versucht. Nichts hat geholfen. 
Der "Macher" und "Kontrolleur" in mir geht in solchen Momenten in die Knie. Und hervorkommt der Teil, der sich ganz der Hoffnung hingibt. Dann in einer Art Gebet an seinen inneren Gott und in seiner inneren Kirche zumindest um eine Linderung des Leids für all jene bittet, bei denen alle rationalen oder wissenschaftlichen Techniken und Methoden an ihre Grenzen gestoßen. 
Von so einer Art "Hoffnungsgebet" handelt dieses Lied

Lyrics

Prayer of hope

I can only pray for you
For you to my inner God

for you I go to my own church 
sit down in the back pew

hear the organ man playing above me
floods the room with his smooth-painful sound

sometime humbly sit on my knees
go inwardly along your life

and I pray that you survive this all
that you will return to the world
I pray for your deep soul peace

I speak, cry, whisper, sing
For you 
a prayer of hope

I light a candle for you
The glow shows me, you are still there
Walk wistfully through many cloisters 
feel the cross that you have to wear

hear the murmur of the unhappy dead, 
the wailing of the damned from the dark underworld
how can I snatch you away from being cursed
my beloved, wounded, tragic hero

A Prayer of Hope

A Prayer Of Hope

Featuring the amazing violin work of Joylin!

Alley Lyrics:
Closer to the way I see you now
And I never want to see you frown
When im asking you to come with me
Just to see what we can see
Im tight in my chest
I'm holding my breath
I just won’t last
With the weight of the world
Caught in the whirlpool
Riptide of my soul
Just say you won't let go
Let it go
Closer to our loving mind
Heart beating two at a time
Promise that I'll make you mine
Love you till the end of time

My utmost thanks goes to my dear friend Dirk for lending me his Exquisite guitar skills and his voice on this song.
This song is about living out loud..  Don't waste time.. take the leap. 

Lyrics:

Wake to the Sound

Wake to the sound, Don’t drown it out..
Your voice will fade into the crowd.
live every day... you got a say!
It’s much too late, lying in your grave..

Oh, and so.. Everything lies
Sunk like a stone on the bedrock of time
We lose all our dreams
Torn at the seams, Say we’re fine, 
But it’s not what we mean…. Ohh…..

Oh Fly to the sun even if you burn, 
At least you lived at every turn 
Fight for love.. don’t let it go…
Its not too late to know for sure

Ooh... leap ...leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I
And when you’re lost, not sure where to go,
Leave sorrows behind you, come in from the cold
In rasping fire, leave behind all the pain, 
'till you find yourself again….

Ooh... Leap! Leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I.....

LYRICS - TO BE THERE
Our future is unknown
Don’t want to go alone.
I don’t feel that I’m whole,
When I’m on my own.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

Sometimes I feel,
I’m living on borrowed time.
Makes me glad that we met,
You listen and you’re kind.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

I want to be there,
When the sun rises, over the trees.
For every raindrop. And every breeze.
To be there when you need me.
To be there, a whole world to see.
To be there… for you.

Be there, be there,
Be there for you.

If I had known,
How our love would grow,
I would have tried more ways,
My love, to show.

I want to be there,
With you at night.
Darkness will surround us.
The sky drenched in starlight.
To be there holding you in my arms.
To be there enjoying your wonderful charms.
To be there. To be there… For you.

Be There (ft. Anna Rader - vocals, Chris Kulp - guitar)

The Joy We Need - Music by Svayam | Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Blissful Relaxation

A high energy passionate rock track about a woman who adores her man...how she just love's her guy's adorable infinite Boy Toy qualities and more...she just wants to tell the world all about it, how her special one pleases her in every way!

What an exhilarating experience this has been for me, a thrill of a lifetime actually speaking, to have had the joyful experience of participating on Boy Toy with my vocals...Norbert's flamin' sparkin' guitars & high energy expressive music make me scream for more, literally, no joke at all people. There can never be the right words for me to express how my dream came true to rock it out together here with Norbert...How blessed I truly am to be working with such a brilliant passionate guitarist musician, one of Germany's most top-finest...and we really feel we created rock magic as if it were meant to be...what a perfect fit we are for eachother musically and now as friends forever...I'm so elated in the universe...Thank You Dearest Norbert for our precious Boy Toy...Now Let's Rock On Everyone, All Together, Here We Go - REKHA - ❤️💫🔥⚡❤️

Lyrics:

O-zone, tip a toe and walk around the no
Fly-zone flap a wings land a sea…

…Turtle like a feather
Sounds like brisbane's weather
Like beautiful christmas eve still dressed for halloween
Of roundabout clouds go flying
Mile-high fantasy
Just to chase your morning kiss
To the rainbow's end we missed

Oh-zone, what are we
Slyly waiting for?
Can we take any
Chances granted
Con-trails
Go up in day-glo
In the mid-dle or in between

Oh-zone
what are we waiting for?
Fate or Chance
Or crash land in between

--Bridge--
So fly on
Sky miles echoing empty seats
So cry on
wings of stranger angels

…turn like a feather
Sounds like brisbane's weather
Like beautiful christmas eve still dressed for halloween
Of roundabout clouds go flying
Mile-high fantasy
Just to chase your morning kiss
To the rainbow's end we missed

--Sax--

o-zone
Shaking plane all through night…

-- Sax trading 8's--

Fate or chance?
Fasten your seat belts tight

Baby kicked the seat And nicked daddy's cheek
Angry steward spilled wine tipping wings
Your free movie just became reality

o-zone!
Let's pull our parachutes
down to your sideways frown

o---zone
No fly zone
Crashing landing strip
Turn back time to
Summer's breeze on winter's eve

George Clementi brings his experience as a country singer to the microphone to present this catchy song. Rex Weston does an incredible job improvising on the cello. Piano and organ played by Dave Heffner. Backup singers are Dave and Jan Heffner. Written and produced by Dave Heffner. YouTube: https://youtu.be/w0LmuoG90Rc
* LYRICS *
VERSE1
The road we don’t know,
Where does it go?
Adventures in my car.
Sometimes dirt. 
Sometimes stones.
Will it take us far?
CHORUS1
Back road.
Let’s go see.
Back road.
Just you and me.
Back road.
A mystery.
Back road.
Young and free
VERSE2
Sometimes slow.
We go with the flow.
Memories we make,
From the risks that we take. 
As we roll on, we both unwind,
Until peace we find.
CHORUS2
Back road.
Take it slow.
Back road.
Memories grow.
Back road.
Take in the air.
Back road.
We don’t care.
Back road.
Nature show.
Back road.
The unknown.
Back road.
Streams will flow.
Back road.
Let’s go!

Expanse

Introduction in English:

Last summer I went wandering in the Black Forest with my oldest friend. After a long day of walking, we stopped at a rather musty inn.   
We were chewing on the overcooked pasta casserole when suddenly the door opened and a young lady entered the inn. With her noble and elegant-delicate appearance she did not fit at all to the stuffy environment.
She sat down together with her family, who hermetically sealed her off, at the next table.
My friend and I immediately had the same association of a "sad beauty". On the outside, she seemed to hold herself together like an extremely well-formed porcelain figure. In her being, however, she seemed deeply lonely, isolated, and almost broken to us.  
For a very brief moment, our eyes met. And in this millisecond-eye gaze into her soul, this chanson was born.  
Since this young woman would have fit more into the Versailles chateau culture of the late 18th century, I sing this chanson in a frail French.

Lyrics in English (for those who don't speak French)

Sad Beauty

You sit there, upright, as if oiled
The hair tamed, strictly gelled

Behind the glazed look,
A shadow falls back
On misfortune

Your face marbled,
Brightly made up, highly decorated
like a disused fairy tale lake
like a nestless animal

You fall - unnoticed
A broken porcelain work of art
An art vase with a deep crack in the bottom

Sad Beauty, Sad Beauty, so sad

Your little daughter sits to your left
Wants your answer, but you are silenced

Your mother feeling is completely drained

Your parents look at you
They can't reach you anymore
Your sister is shaking at your garden gate
Even from your beloved ones you are cut off

You fall - unnoticed
A broken porcelain work of art
An art vase with a deep crack in the bottom
Sad beauty, sad beauty, so sad

Sad Beauty

Once I wrote a description here !!!

Ok let's say I started adding layers to the great music https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1 sent to me.

Letra (translated lyrics below)

Se arrastró bajo los muros,
llorando.
Se filtró por las ranuras,
buscándome.
Y miró entre las fisuras,
deseando:
mucho claro, nada oscuro,
llamándome…
 
Mas el centinela mágico
de quijadas relucientes,
descarnado por los dientes
de mil y un gusanos cárnicos,
por la acción más degenérica
de venenos de odio y muerte,
este ser, cerebro inerte,
la detuvo, niña histérica…
 
Pero huyó,
vio sentada su promesa de llamarme.
Y escapó,
Vio prendido su deseo de amarme.
Sensación
de saber que era la presa, fuego y carne,
y en la intensa luz de vida vino a hallarme;
y me encontró.
-------------------------------------------
She crawled under the walls,
crying.
She filtered through the grooves,
searching for me.
And she looked inside the fissures,
wishing:
much clarity, no darkness,
calling me…

But the magic sentry
of shining jawbones,
eaten to the bone by the teeth
of thousand and one meat worms,
For the most degenerated action
of poisons of hatred and death,
this being, inert brain,
detained her, hysterical girl …

But she fled,
found assured her promise of calling me.
And she escaped,
found on fire her willing to love me.
Sensation
of knowing that she was the prey, fire and flesh,
and in the intense light of life she came to find me;
and she did.

Lyrics:

I need someone like you. 
Is it weakness to need someone? Or only weak when you can't admit it?
Admit it
Admit it

You're alone and sinking
and so am i
I think we could survive 
if we work together... Forever
But you don't want my help
No, you don't want anyone at all

But now you're so far away 
and I just need you here 
come back to me
Oh oh baby come back to me
Darling won't you move in a bit closer now

I'm holding on
I'm holding on to you

Come on let me in
Let me see your wounds
Come on let me in
Tell me where it hurts
Come on let me in
Show me all your burns

 (back up vocal)
Take my hand
fall forward 
into the hands of God
carry us 
through the flames 
into our endlessly numbered days
Get to know Oblivion 
one millenia at a time

I think we could survive 
if we work together... Forever
But you don't want my help
No, you don't want anyone at all

But now you're so far away 
and I just need you here 
come back to me
Oh oh baby come back to me
Darling won't you move in a bit closer now

 (back up vocal)

It's been so long
I haven't seen you in days
It's been too long

It's been a while
Since we've spoken
And I think
You've just forgotten
But I haven't
I could never forget
What we shared
What I thought we'd have
Forever
But maybe it wasn't meant to be

But now you're so far away 
and I just need you here 
come back to me
Oh oh baby come back to me
Darling won't you move in a bit closer now

(back up vocal)

It's been so long
I haven't seen you in days
It's been too long

Closer Now

(Chorus2)
Bridge: Part1
In the still of the night, like a sky at war,
A distant rumble, like a lion’s roar.
Clouds are gathering. Air thick and tense.
The storm begins. Let the show commence.
Part2
Raindrops fall. Rhythm on the ground.
Each clap of thunder, a primal sound.
It shakes the core. It stirs within.
The elements dance. The storm begins.
Part3
The storm moves on. Thunder fades away,
Leaving calm at the break of day.

LYRICS...  SHATTER THE IMAGE
VERSE 1
Now you’ve been told what you should be.
Get on your mark, now, we’re countin’ to three.
But in your head, you say, “Is this really me?”
And in your head, you say, “Am I really free?”
VERSE 2
An old man sits in a darkened room,
Staring out at the evening gloom.
Humming a tune, while he drinks his gin,
And heaving a sigh, as he rubs his chin.
VERSE 3
And he thinks back to his younger days,
When there was little, if any haze.
So many dreams, but where did they go?
Off to another world, that he’ll never know.
CHORUS
Shatter the image in the other man’s eye.
You’ll find out that you won’t really die.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to know.

Shatter The Image (feat. Janet Heffner - vocals, acoustic guitar, Tim Breon - electric guitar)

What could be more inspiring for a song than a beautiful fall day with a warm breeze blowing in an open window? Of course, the song should be composed at a relaxed tempo. Japanese instruments, a pan pipe, and bongo drums were added to create the right atmosphere. This song is the debut, for experienced singer and songwriter Alice Weiler, for vocals and assisting with lyrics on my compositions. Throughout this song, Alice sings harmony and multiple layers with her main vocal track. Len Cagle returns to the studio with his tenor saxophone, performing an improvisation at the bridge and playing “over” the vocal track in the second verse. This is the first time that I used an iPad for the initial creative phase of a composition. It was refreshing to have the freedom to compose away from the studio.

Lyrics;
Hound dog hot on the scent
To where the thieving fox went
He's chasing down that miscreant
And he never will relent...
Put the foot on the floor
The hound dog is at the door
Runs out the back real fast
But his escape won't last

The law man
had cuffed his hands
Cuffed them tight
and read him his rights
He'd caught him just in time
To commit a perfect crime
Their whereabouts were unknown

Temptation leads to mighty sin
No one's around to turn him in
For pocketing a cash advance
A fortune made from circumstance
 
Put the foot
on the floor
Their both inside
And he's locked the door

Makes him talk
And finds the stash
He's gonna carry out all of the cash

Throws it in his car
Lights up a cheap cigar
But you can't leave a witness
When he knows who you are

The fox is still lying there
Somewhere deep under the stairs
Price was paid
I'm afraid
Buried for all time
Victim of a perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation lead to might sin
The hound dog's never seen again
Good guy goes bad and that's the spin
For him a new hunt will begin
His whereabouts unknown

Have you seen this man. We're searching for this man...
