A big thank you to Dan-DT for letting me journey with him and Clara into the mystical, French Fantasy realm of shadow and light.  In nature, the two are often complementary, but in one's heart and mind it can be a dual to the death of which will rule, shadow OR light. As is often the case, an uneasy armistice exists in our souls between the two but maybe out of that tension truth and beauty can be found.  Thank you for taking this journey with us.

Shadow Or Light (with Dan-DT and Clara)

Will I be okay?

Performed by David Cooper

Written by 

David Cooper - Music

Ron Todd -Lyrics:

Oh Genevieve you're the world to me,
Like a walk by the river Seine,
The intoxication from your sweet perfume,
Is like strolling in the summer rain,

When I see your face, that killer smile,,
The stolen moments that we share,
I imagine the sublime taste of you,
Like coffee from a cafetiere

Chorus

Oh Genevieve
Sweet Genevieve
A Parisian beauty queen
Oh Genevieve
Sweet Genevieve
Every artists' living dream

You're a statue made by Michelangelo
With the style for the streets of Milan
Everything is such a perfect fit
The clothes, the shades, the tan

The way you talk with that French refrain,
Gives me goose bumps on my skin
You're a centrefold from a magazine
An idyllic picture scene

Chorus

music break

Chorus

Always be my Genevieve
Sois toujours ma Geneviève
Sois toujours ma Geneviève
Always be my Genevieve

Genevieve (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

Waking soft
Waking slow
Fading into focus
Every breath
Every pulse
Holding in the moment
Every fall
Every rise and falling of your shoulders
And I'm trying not to try so hard for you
I'm trying not to try so hard for you
Oh, oh, oh
For you
Oh, oh, oh
For you
Wake me soft
Wake me slow
Fade me into focus
Every breath
Every pulse
I hold you in the moment
And I'm trying not to try so hard for you
I'm trying not to try so hard for you
Oh, oh, oh
For you
Oh, oh, oh
For you

Shoulders (Guitar-Coverattempt)

Feels like we’re just creatures in a zoo
Living with eight billion angry souls
Someone needs to put up a big sign that says
Don’t feed the angry trolls

They say you shouldn’t wrestle with a pig 
Because in the end you’ll both get dirty
But the pig will actually have fun
And you’ll need a shower when you’re done

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like Dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

You don’t need to go straight to defcon one
With some random jerk who likes to argue for fun
You don’t need to start world war three
Just because you disagree

People out there who are like pigs
And they try to drag you into the mud
They’re out there trying to provoke
They make you angry and they think it’s all a joke

For days you’ll replay the argument in your head
While every night the pig sleeps comfortably in his bed

Everyone thinks they’re right
They don’t want to admit that maybe they were wrong
They’ve had opinions for so long
Sometimes you just have to let it go
And realize that you’re not goanna change their mind
Keep moving forward don’t look behind

When someone tosses red meat at you
You can make the decision not to chew
You can be like dirty Harry - say make my day
But sometimes it’s better to walk away

If you’re going through life trying to make it through your busy day
And a pig comes along with something provocative to say
Just let it go in one ear and out the other side
Don’t let that pig take you for a ride
Don’t feed the pigs
Just let them pontificate 
and go about your business 
and don’t take the bait

Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song
Why can’t we all just get along
and accept the fact that sometimes we're wrong
Why can’t we all just get along
Hold hands and sing that kumbaya song

Don't Feed The Pig

When

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.
