Echoes In Your Mind (Lyrics)

Son take my advice…you can turn the tide
Take a look inside, to the echoes in your mind

The sun is high and burning bright, the road is long but you're alright  

Step out of your head, face the day instead
Listen and you’ll find…the echoes in your mind

Life is only a flash in time, the night is dark before the light
The sun is high and burning bright, the road is long but you're alright  

Hard times…come around…
Hard times…come around…

Son take my advice…it’s all with your sights
Listen to what’s right…to the echoes in your mind…

Hard times…come around…
Hard times…come around…

Echoes In Your Mind

A new track for you all after a quiet and difficult period.

Title track of a 2023 EP that can be purchased at https://gomjabbar.bandcamp.com/albums/some-ancient-power

Some Ancient Power

Support Gom

'Common Enemy' is about the fact that a common threat can unite humans and make them look past certain differences to face a common Enemy. More specifically the song is about Someone that acts as a common enemy, someone trying to carry all the weight of the blame to give others a reason to unite and cooperate for good. Song is somewhat inspired from the war in Ukraine particularly how the russian invasion has brought NATO members to tighten their links.

Common Enemy (prod. Cadence)

Another downtempo experiment. A very straightforward melody accompanied by somewhat cheesy pads and shifting rhythms. The angelic vocals and the ever rising energy move from dreamy to bombastic without losing the friendly vibe .

Commissioned by the Eastman Wind Ensemble, Mark Davis Scatterday, Conductor, and a consortium of wind ensembles in honor of the Eastman School of Music’s Centennial Anniversary. Consortium members include Carthage Wind Orchestra (Carthage College), CCM Wind Ensemble (University of Cincinnati), Eastman Wind Ensemble (Eastman School of Music), Nevada Wind Ensemble (University of Nevada, Reno), Symphonic Wind Ensemble (Northwestern University), TCNJ Wind Ensemble (The College of New Jersey), Wind Symphony (Ohio University), and the UNC Wind Ensemble (The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)

PROGRAM NOTE
The Winds of Time was inspired by the title and content of the poem of the same name by Tanzanian poet and novelist Euphrase Kezilahabi. I created musical elements from the various words, phrases and metaphors in his poem, especially those related to wind and water: watching the waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, and waves being driven by winds. The passage of time, inevitability, darkness, and the poem’s overall despair are represented throughout the ensemble with various bells, drums, winds, exotic instruments, and a few non-standard playing techniques.

Although this work is divided into three connected movements, Waves rising, falling, swelling, surging, Bending space/time, and Colossal chimes, fading light, it is more a rhapsody than narrative in structure. Various themes and motives gradually come into the foreground and recede into the background throughout the entire work, similar to how shells wash up on a shore and then become lost to the sand.

The Winds of Time was commissioned by the Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble, Mark Davis Scatterday, Conductor, and a consortium of wind ensembles in honor of Eastman’s 100th anniversary.

"Greater even than the greatest discovery is to keep open the way to future discovery." - John Jacob Abel

Soli Deo Gloria!

Discovery

"Everything Is" is a song written for individuals and loved ones affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. 

"Everything Is" by Le Jank feat. Drew Seeley

I wish for more days like the past inside me
But that’s doesn’t mean I don’t hope
I accept the present as this moment the rest 
Is out of our control
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

I dream my life clock could tock tick, go backwards
To when the future seemed more clear
But I'll keep growin' to the sky with each blink, unshrinking
Until I forget how to fear
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

Everything Is

This Time

Pretty soon things will come undone
Despite the bounty we have won

Silver Screen

Echoes in the cosmos, messages in the night,
Crossing cosmic oceans, in the endless night.
The silence is a symphony, the darkness is my friend,
Is this the price I pay, for a message that I send?

Lyrics:

When you're lying to you
You're lying to me
When you're lying to you
You're lying to me
When you're lying to you
You're lying to me

Small amounts that turn into dust
Dancing girls from the valley
They're turning off and on

But the shape of the disappearing
Amounts will change
To the person who leads their fight
The only way as an escape from emotional...

The second face with weak perhapility
Her body that bites roses
The real self is already lost in the dam

Small amounts that turn into dust
Dancing girls from the valley
They're turning off and on

As their destiny pleases
Two-faced faces in the mirror
Of face of the prediction
The available amount is within reach

ALTRUISM

This song is just about feeling like no matter what you do it always ends up with some less than favorable unexpected result.

Karma Machine

I am writing songs about old age that together will form an album about this theme. This song is about Parkinson's disease. Many people are familiar with the external (physical) symptoms of this disease, the psychological symptoms are less known. 'Into the Wings' is about what Parkinson's does to the brain, briefly summarized as 'stuttering' of thoughts. The lyrics are based on the experience of my good friend Henk, who has Parkinson's. Painting is by Alette de Groot

Introduction in English

Many of them were persecuted, oppressed, tortured or even murdered. 
But many of them escaped their perpetrators and potential butchers and emerged even stronger from these struggles for survival. 
And especially at a time when the tyrannical powers are raising their heads again, when a repressive right-wing shift is taking place all over the world, they are more important than ever;
In their unmistakable clarity, their healthy stubbornness, their intuitive knowledge to protect the all-encompassing love and vitality in the world from the destructive forces of fascist systems.
With my song I want to encourage all free spirits to show themselves even more and to go forward. And I want to encourage all listeners of this song to open up more to their own free-spirited side.

Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak German)

Free spirits

They never let themselves be bent
Never let any repression get them down

They have a keen sense
For what is real or just false adornment

They follow their own tracks
They tick according to their own clocks

They are with themselves and yet open-minded
They change and remain true to themselves

Often stand on their head
Don't like to swim with

Every ancient braid
Is sprayed with color
Until it burns out

Free spirits
Are still 
In this land

Free spirits
Not all 
Have they
Banished, Burnt

Free spirits
Have 
Survived the hells
And lay down in the light unbreakable

They dream with their eyes open
Make a thousand mistakes, seem to be no good

Are often still unrecognized, banished from the grill plate
Yet they sparkle beneath the sand  

They are often underestimated
Violated in their dignity
Abandoned in the forest by the mainstream
They wear orchids 
Can see in the dark
Can walk blind on clouds

Are outraged alive
Say out loud what bothers them

Are driven by love
For themselves, the humans and the world

Free spirits
Are still 
In this land

Free spirits
Not all 
Have they
Banished, Burnt

Free spirits
Have 
Survived the hells
And lay down in the light unbreakable
lay down in the light
lay down in the light
Lay
Down
In
The 
Lieght

Deutscher Originaltext:

Freigeister

Sie lassen sich niemals verbiegen
Von keiner Repression unterkriegen

Sie haben ein feines Gespür
Für das was echt ist oder nur falsche Zier

Sie folgen Ihren eigenen Spuren
Sie ticken nach Ihren eigenen Uhren

Sie sind bei sich und doch aufgeschlossen
Sie wandeln sich und bleiben sich treu

Stehen oft auf dem Kopf
Schwimmen ungerne mit

Jeder uralte Zopf
Wird mit Farbe besprüht
Bis er verglüht

Freigeister
Sind noch immer 
In diesem Land

Freigeister
Nicht alle 
Haben sie
Verbannt, Verbrannt

Freigeister
Haben 
Die Hölllen überlebt
Und sich unkaputtbar in das Licht gelegt

Sie träumen mit offenen Augen
Machen tausend Fehler, scheinen nichts zu taugen

Werden oft noch verkannt, vom Grillteller verbannt
Dennoch funkeln sie unter dem Sand  

Gerne werden sie unterschätzt
In ihrer Würde verletzt
Vom Mainstream im Wald ausgesetzt
Sie tragen Orchideen 
Können im Dunkeln sehen
Können auf Wolken blind gehen

Sind lebendig empört
Sagen laut, was sie stört

Sind von Liebe getrieben
Für sich, die Menschheit und die Welt

Freigeister
Sind noch immer 
In diesem Land

Freigeister
Nicht alle 
Haben sie
Verbannt, Verbrannt

Freigeister
Haben 
Die Hölllen überlebt
Und sich unkaputtbar in das Licht gelegt
In das Licht gelegt
In das Licht gelegt
In 
Das
Licht
Gelegt

Freigeister (Free Spirits)

A little glimpse.
The smallest glance at summer.
Guides me.
Up into the trees.
Pretty green.
The nervy days.
The golden gates of May,
Which always make us wait,
Out of the substrate.

It's Springtime.
What we waiting for?
This time.
I've been saving till now.
I'm gonna make it somehow.
Springtime.
Side stepped the falling leaves.
Forget supposed meritocracy.
I'll climb up your ladder somehow.

The smallest win.
Is somewhere to begin.
The autumn winds.
No longer seemed so keen.
Pretty Green.
The world returns.
In golden blades of song.
A whisper from your tongue.
Two million blackbirds can't be wrong.

It's springtime.
We've all been waiting for.
This time.
We're gonna make it all ours.
We're gonna put in the hours.
Springtime.
Forget the darker days.
This time.
We're gonna make it somehow.
We're gonna let it all out.

It's springtime.
What you waiting for?
This time.
I've been saving till now.
So what you waiting for now?
Springtime.
Forget the birds and bees
Some such floating on the lightest breeze.
I'm gonna let it all out.
