Just One Chance for the Ultimate Wave #4002

Monday Playlist week of 1/30/2023

This is an extra-special release for two reasons; the song was written for my first granddaughter Lanie about the time this picture was taken(seven years old, she's now nineteen), and this marks my first collaboration with gifted pianist Debra Buesking.  When I approached her with this song, she immediately loved it and the ideas came very quickly to her.  It was emotionally moving to hear her additions giving the song a sense of completion I felt it lacked.  Thank you my friend for sharing your abundant talent that graces this song.  You can hear more of Debra's fine playing and original arrangements:  soundcloud.com/debra_buesking

Cantalanie (special guest Debra Buesking, piano)

It is wonderful when a previously released song has enough potential energy to be released as a new song in a different genre.  So it is with this song first inspired by Thommo last spring in a collaboration with him and Ren Faye called "Dream Catching".  I liked the initial soundscape and guitar parts enough that I wanted to do a separate acoustic release under a different title.  Debra Buesking's definitive artistry entered the picture when we were teasing ideas for another collaboration.  I submitted this to her, she loved it, and now graces it with her superb playing, actually re-inventing the song.  More of her fine music can be heard @debra_buesking 
Imagine a windswept veranda. a couple dancing to distant thunder, passions building and breaking as the storm approaches.  The original is much different, more Celtic and ethereal and can be heard here as well as Thommo's other amazing productions: soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes/dream-catching-feat-david-dunham-and-ren-faye

Dancing On The Veranda (Thommo, Debra Buesking, David Dunham)

Marking my third collaboration with gifted pianist Debra Buesking, what an honor and treat to have her add her piano magic to a tune I wrote some 25 years ago on a warm summer evening in Colorado.  The Godin guitar seemed the perfect voice to express the warmth and intimacy of a summer evening reverie, and Debra's piano the perfect accompaniment, like two friends enjoying a glass of wine.  Hear more of Debra's fine compositions and arrangements @debra_buesking.

One Summer Night, A Reverie, with Debra Buesking, piano

What a privilege to work with Debra Buesking again on Scott Richard's smooth and slightly funky synth track.  Actually, I kind of invited myself to the party when Debra queried me about the keyboard part she had for Scott's original track titled "Ennui".  I became very engaged with her playing to the very chill synth track and could hear some acoustic guitar accents giving a little edge to the piece.  Debra's versatile playing defines the direction of the song front to back, and I'm along for the ride--but what a ride:)  Check out Scott's Cloud at soundcloud.com/the_eyes_of_heisenberg,  and Debra's extraordinary playing @debra_buesking.

Kaleidoscope (Collaboration with Debra Buesking, Scott Richards)

Long before September 11, 2001, there was a September 11, 1950; the birthdate of my wife Terry.  This song started out as a very personal musical portrait of her.  Debra became interested in the track after I sent it to her for collaborative consideration.  The result is something very special for the both of us and we hope you too.  In my playing, I address the intimate side of the song and day. In Debra's playing, she addresses the now much larger meaning of the day for our nation and the world. Ultimately I think what we are saying is that 9/11 is profoundly personal. Each of us, if were old enough to remember, know where we were, what we were doing the day the attacks occurred. The attacks also shook the world, world markets, world travel, and any and all sense of security.   Profound sorrow was draped over our country and any nation that called us friend.  "Stay With Me" is another way of saying "hold me close", "we need each other", and as the track picture suggests "forget me not".    A big "thank you" to Debra for lavishing her talent on this very personal song.    More of her beautiful music can be heard @debra_buesking.

Stay With Me (featuring Debra Buesking, piano)

Six Feet Never Felt So Far. By Glenny G November 8th 2021
SIX FEET NEVER FELT SO FAR
I RIDE ALONE IN MY CAR
I LOOK TOWARDS A DISTANT STAR
WONDER IF THERE'S LIFE ON MARS
WENT TO FISH MY FAVORITE LAKE
WHEN THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE
I'VE NEVER FELT A REAL EARTHQUAKE
AM I ASLEEP OR AM I AWAKE
I CAN'T DENY IT I SEE THE SIGNS
AS THE SUMMER FRUIT ROTS ON THE VINE
NOW THEY SAY THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE
STORMS AND FIRES HAVE MANY NAMES
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT THE SAME
THE WILDLIFE DISAPEARS
WE NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR
WE JUST BURN OUT ANOTHER YEAR
THEN LOOK OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
BUT THERE'S A GOOD LIFE STILL AHEAD
I'M STILL BREATHING AND GODS NOT DEAD
GODS NOT DEAD NO GODS NOT DEAD 
SOLO/CHORUS
THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES
WE'RE CUT IN HALF AND THEN DIVIDE
ALL ALONG IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT
SIX FEET APART NO END IN SIGHT

Six Feet Never Felt So Far (Original) With Lyrics

From Durge and Myself...  THANK YOU for listening to our Songs, and sharing our Truths!  Have a Safe, and Blessed New Year!!  

Seafaring Wanderer 
Produced, Written & Performed by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Starlight star bright 
I wished upon a city light
That the Western Winds will lead me to you
Like a long desert road with no detours or turns one can miss…
Ending in arms wide open
That greets me for certain.. with a kiss.

Oh that sun sets low 
And time waits suspended,
Mesmerising me, like the warmth of your smile
And though I’ve seen it all, the seafaring wanderer
Has found nothing new …
All this time I was searching for meaning
I found it in you.


Starlight star bright 
The bourbon made this night all right..
But the city streets, holds empty and cold
Every neon sign flickers a heart beat the beckons 
“Come on home”..
Every newspaper flutter, is like Angels that Mutter.. 
“Call his phone..” 

Oh this road I’m on has one destination,
Every star I choose just leads me to you…
Yes I’ve seen it all, like a seafaring wanderer
But one thing held true!
All this time I was searching for meaning 
I found it in you..

Seafaring Wanderer

STRANGE LIGHT IN THE SKY

Lyrics by Tony that inspired Riff are listed below.
Vocals, Music & Production by Riff Beach. (Revised 11/8/22)

WHEN WE'RE GROWIN' UP
WE ALL NEED SOMETHIN'
TO KEEP US ON THE RIGHT TRACK
HIS SOMETHIN' WAS THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR

ONLY A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY
IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT HE SAW
WHEN HE WOKE UP IN THE MORNIN'
IT WAS ON HIS MIND EVERY DAY

(CHORUS)
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM HUMBLE
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE
HIS SYMBOL WAS THAT CHURCH

EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'
AS HE WALKED TO CHURCH
HE COULD HEAR THEM SINGIN'
PRAISES TO THE LORD

DURING HIS TIME IN THE ARMY
HE COULD FEEL HIS MAMA PRAYIN'
IN THAT CHURCH NEXT DOOR
EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO OPTIONAL)

HE WAS BAPTIZED IN THAT CHURCH
MANY YEARS AGO AND IT'S IS STILL
HIS SYMBOL OF RIGHT AND WRONG

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

I'M HEARING A SOUND AND IT'S LOUD 
AND IT'S CALLING AND SHOUTING TO ME
I'M HEARING THE WORDS OF A SONG ALL ALONG
THEY'RE ALL RINGING YOUR NAME

MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING
I'M HEARING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
MAYBE IT'S JUST ME AND MYSELF

THE LIVING THE LAUGHING THE TALKING
THE CRYING IT COME TO ME
I'M HEARING THE WORD'S THAT YOU LEFT
NOW YOUR GONE AND IT'S CLEAR TO SEE

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
I BELIVE IT'S JUST ME AND MYSELF
(break)
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING

SO DEEP IN THE NIGHT AND IT'S BRIGHT
AND IT'S LIKE IT'S SHINING ON ME
I'VE BEEN RIDING THE TIDE IT'S SO HIGH
LIKE A KITE I WISH YOU COULD SEE

I SEEING SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
IT'S ONLY SHINING ON ME AND MYSELF

ME AND I

Enjoy the Bubbly Jock / Jabberjockey music video on YouTube created by burn.it.smith here: 
https://youtu.be/dbK4fOKc-rM

I am so happy that burn.it.smith reach out and asked if I wanted to get creative with his original song, “Bubbly Jock,” and invite whoever I wanted to join in. burn.it.smith’s hip hop jazz fusion track instantly inspired and the band was obvious. All the pieces came together real nice for this “old school” jazz hip hop SoundCloud extravaganza. I hope you all enjoy!!!

And big thanks to Russ for the zaney art. Look closely and you will see lots of humorous details.

Lyrics:

burn.it.smith:
Babbling away like a bubbly jock 
Poking the bogey, talking tommyrot 
All my eyes and Betty Martin
 It just never stops
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what?
 I had enough

the Couch King:
Beware oh my
Felleeow frumious blimpyish fluemes I
Decry oh why thy
Manxome mimsyish foes who gimble through try
To snicker snack with a pack of galumphying slacks
Who lack burbling whiffling eyes of flame
Don’t they know they should go gyring back with their
Sacks to rath about where they came
With their vorpal swords hanging towards the floors
We restore our honor from the Uffish wars
As we rath outgrabe with displayed furmious frayed jaw displayed let’s go Jabberjockay

burn.it.smith:
It’s a blathering
Gathering
Put your hat in
And start jabbering
Clamouring!
What’s happening
 Lucille?

Janine Levinson:
 I got the Tommyrot on top 
The rot because the Jabbberwock
 Is walking on my head
 I got the Alice Hat on 
And now he’s walking on the hat instead
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what? 
I had enough

burn.it.smith: 
Blathering away like a bubbly jock 
Shootin’ the mouth off, talking tommy rot 
Poking the bogey, I’m at a loss 
All my eyes and Betty Martin 
The tongue never stops

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

i am trying to walk straight
on a road full of curves
the time changes
I look beyond the rain
a sunny day
a sunny day
I'm picking up the fallen leaves
in front of my feet
they are like colorful memories
in a sunny day
a sunny day.....
............tears

Halfway Between Here and New Orleans ©
Original - Riff Beach ( RiffWerx - 2016, Revised 2022 )
Lady Luck…..
Well, she left me out in Reno
Just one more throw
Before the red-eye home
You know I just wanna’ hop a streetcar
Or, maybe, take a shiny limousine
I’m so tired of being crammed into airplanes
That kinda’ travel just leaves me feeling mean
(Chorus)
Well, there’s sure something in living sunrise to sunset…..
But, I’m not sure exactly what it means?
And, just some thoughts on my way back to you
Halfway - between here - and New Orleans
Remember that time down on Decatur
Or, when we first met on Magazine?
We knew that sooner - or - later
We’d end up halfway between here….
…..and New Orleans
And somewhere over the Mighty Mississippi
You know you’re right there in all my dreams
All the time we’ll spend together
Halfway between Here…. and ….. New Orleans

Another evening in the traffic
stucked for hours on the highway
and all that , just for a ghostly day
behind a cash register

she wanted to write
sad but beautiful stories
just to sublimate her memories
her own little secrets
and reinvent her future
made of special days
without anyone having anything to say 

she dreamed to write
that she was a fighter , a rebel 
able to avoid the worse
and never grow old 
she dreamed to write
that she was blonde ans sensual
just to give herself the right to lie
and go laughing 
to see her own name on a book 
her name on a book 

she wanted to write
eternal stories
of betrayed hearts and feelings 
words that talk of her 
about this love that kills 
and reborn even stronger
some romantic comedies

she dreamed to write
that she was a fighter , a rebel 
able to avoid the worse
and never grow old 
she dreamed to write
that she was blonde ans sensual
just to give herself the right to lie
and go laughing 
to see her own name on a book 
her name on a book

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.

Rocking horse

wouldn't you like to know
are we supposed to know
how it ends

wouldn't you like to see
how it's gonna be
when it's all over

we could leave it up to chance
a little bit of romance never hurt
we could let it all just be
call it destiny 
enjoy the ride

if we knew maybe we'd get it right
or would we be resigned
would we make the most of time
living knowing that

wouldn't you like to know
how it's gonna go
will it rain

it may take a little while
to learn to live life
preordained

wouldn't you like to know
are we supposed to know
how it ends

====== Lyrics ======

you can run, you can hide
from your selfdestruction, from your selfdesolving
you can shine, you can fly
put your worries all aside, girl
these ripped seats don't seem that grey
I got comfortable on my way
watching birds parcourlfy
through powerlines

baby it could be fun
stop the madness and become
wash your worries in the sun
cause baby it could be fun

I am, I am me
I am, I am free

I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna jump
jump for you another time, no no
and I could go high and I could go low
but I ain't bending backwards for another show

baby it could be fun
stop the madness and become
wash your worries in the sun
cause baby it could be fun

I am, I am me
I am, I am free

He Stopped Loving Her Today - Cover by Tony

Tough one here.  In recent years, I have lost many family members and so many friend.  The deepest cut was the lost of my beautiful 31 year old daughter a few years ago this month.  As members of this human race we all share in these emotions and feelings.  Many, many good days, some sad.  SO IS LIFE

Yes, we need a little Faith 
Oh Yeah, Faith
We need it to walk this world 
We need a little Faith
Maybe, we’ll find a shell with a shiny pearl?
And, if we have Faith…..
Will we trust in things we haven’t seen?
Oh, Faith
Why, some people need theirs laced 
…….with just a little green
(Chorus)
Anyway….
Find something to believe in
Find a way…..
Keep pushing along
Maybe, that’s the way
We keep our spirits strong
(Bridge/Verse)
Takes courage to just let go
Even though deep down we surely know
When the unexpected becomes all too real
Why…Don’t let yourself forget to feel

Sim, precisamos de um pouco de fé
Oh sim, fé
Precisamos que ande neste mundo
Precisamos de um pouco de fé
Talvez, encontraremos uma concha com uma pérola brilhante?
E, se tivermos fé ...
Vamos confiar em coisas que não vimos?
Oh, fé
Por que algumas pessoas precisam deles?
…… .com apenas um pouco de verde
(Refrão)
De qualquer forma….
Encontre algo em que acreditar
Encontrar uma maneira…..
Continue empurrando
Talvez seja esse o caminho
Mantemos nosso espírito forte
(Ponte / Verso)
É preciso coragem para deixar ir
Mesmo no fundo, certamente sabemos
Quando o inesperado se torna real demais
Por que ... não se esqueça de sentir
