Speak For Love (Brian Peters)

Little Lady stepped out into the world
Little Lady was still mama’s little girl
One baby later, she was still twenty-five
Her marriage on the rocks but she was glad to be alive

And love is blinded in innocence
And love is calling out for defence

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

Little Man went walking in his daddy’s boots
Little Man was just following his roots
Wild dreams and schemes on the stock exchanges
Wild oats and loneliness among total strangers

And love is crying out to be heard
And love is holding out the living word

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about the third world debt
Some talk about a nuclear threat
Some talk about inner city crime
Some talk about intelligent design
Some talk about corporate greed
Some talk about terminator seeds
Some talk about the ascetic life
Some talk about simeon stylites**

And love is knocking at the door
And love is undergirding every law

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about global warming
Some talk about turbine farming
Some talk about genetic cloning
Some talk about the lunar landings
Some talk about ghetto thugs
Some talk about the superbug
Some talk about democracy
Some talk about conspiracy

Some talk about the world trade towers
Some talk about a one world power
Some talk about save the whales
Some talk about fairytales
Some talk about visual highlights
Some talk about navigation satellites**
…(to fade)

Speak For Love

Here is the result of our first collaboration with @GrevusAnjl. What started off as a straightforward piano piece was passed to Justin who added a sprinkling of synth magic, upon which Helen then developed her vocals. 

So here it is released into the wild, we hope you enjoy it😁 

Vocals: Helen

Lyrics:

Mommy mommy mommy
Where did you go?
I never got the chance to tell you
That I love you so.
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Why did you leave?
I miss you every day
How do I continue this way?
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Mother!
Is it cold?
You faced something to which
We must all race
Death's door
.
Mother!
You're keeping me warm
My memories are blankets around my heart
They help me to mourn
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Are there stars where you are?
Can people see your smile?
Are there gardens filled with flowers,
For you to walk around, in?
.
Are there hopeful dreams?
And waterfalls and trees?
Sunny days with music playing?
Do you ever think of me?
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.

Tell Me (2022)

It's always an honor to have Debra Buesking ask if she could join me on a previously released song.  My answer goes along the lines of; "well duh, of course":) What a delight she makes of my tribute to the semi-annual time change, in this case "falling back" from Daylight Savings Time.  It also corresponds with southerly migrations of species from birds to butterflies.  We're staying put, however, with snow shovels and ice scrapers at the ready:) Hear more of Debbie's wonderful music @debra_buesking.

Thank you dear Oddrun for this gift of music.  No REGRETS whatsoever about our friendship :)

Regrets.

Hear the whispers
Of the falling leaves
When I write the words
I will never speak
A few unspoken words
Appear like falling leaves

No heart would seek regret
But I hold its hand
And I will not forget
Sweet autumn fields
That lingers in my mind

A few unspoken words
Appears like falling leaves
At other times they wildly fly
Until they reach the sky

Regrets. Oddrun Eikli & Debra Buesking

1
The Bible is a romance of God in love with man,
And this fantastic romance throughout all time will span;
This universal romance is Christ, our Bridegroom dear,
And His redeemed believers, once far but now made near.
 
Overcoming believers overcoming each day!
Blessed are those who are called to the marriage on the way!
A wedding feast is waiting in the kingdom of the Son
For the bride has made herself ready, blessed are those who come!
2
The wife, the Bride of Jesus must seek to, ready, be,
To be mature in life and be builded corp’rately;
This bride is full adorned with the pearls and precious stones,
And plaits of gold her nature, the triune God, her own.
3
This precious bride is clothed with fine linen, bright and clean,
The righteousnesses stitched by the Lamb within our being;
A Christ lived out each day is an overcoming life,
‘Tis right and pure and holy; to her to live is Christ.
4
The overcoming life is not ours by natural strength,
But by Christ’s resurrection, Christ’s depth, and height, and length;
For by the Lamb’s redemption we taste this feast of grace
And through organic salvation grow through each test we face.
5
The overcoming strength is not in how hard we try,
But living every moment, the extra oil to buy;
Christ’s overcoming life pours out from His pierced side,
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come now and be My bride!”

Overcoming Believers!

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
