Lyrics:

TAKE MY HAND
Do you remember when
  everything was so natural?...
..To sit close on the sand..
..Air coming from the sea made us feel so alive.

Do you remember when
  we stood back to the waves,
  observing the lights of the town?
The warm of the night made us feel so in love.

What did it matter what they could think about 
  us?
We felt so strong against all
It was only enough looking us in the eyes.

Take my hand I will be fine
This time I think we'll be so good
So take my hand I will be fine
Remind...believe...
We'll find our way again

Do you remember when
  everything was so natural?..
..to sit close on the sand..
..Air coming from the sea made us feel so alive.

If now our bond is weak may be is my fault,
  and so I say you I'm sorry.
Sometimes could be enough
  to stop a little looking behind
  the things we have done.

What did it matter what they could think about 
  us?
We felt so strong against all
It was only enough looking us in the eyes.

Take my hand I will be fine
This time I think we'll be so good
So take my hand I will be fine
Remind...believe...
We'll find our way again

Unwrap -app-Ing Myself  (Original)

I decided to take another stab at this song for Halloween.
New instruments and added a strumming guitar track.    Completely new vocals and updated chorus.
***
In the dark of night, there's things that don't feel right.
Like a creature of the night with a healthy appetite
I saw a beautiful woman standing by the dance floor
I met her gaze she smiled at me
I knew the rest was history as my heart beat quickly in my chest.

The night past by in one big blur and in the morning there was no sign of her
I tried so hard to convince myself that it was only just a dream

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

As the day began to wane and darkness fell like bloody rain
I could feel a sense of foreboding in the air
I turned around and she was there
Next to me with long dark hair
Staring at me with a hungry pointy grin (hungry pointy grin)

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace
Now she stops by every night and something tells me things aren’t right
Cause it’s been more than a week since I’ve seen the light of day

Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you believe it’s true
My memory’s kind of foggy. There’s not much I can do
I’m sick of being stuck in this cold dark place
I want to feel the sun shine on my face
And I’m searching for a cure to what’s ailing me (what’s ailing me)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Sentenced without Trial (A poem by Bill Stapleton)

The executioner has come to cut thee down.
I know not for what crime.
The human race needs living space
And you have little time.

No counsel for your defence
No witness to your beauty
No guardian of your civil rights
It matters not - you're guilty!

Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

Did no one see you in Springtime
When your buds were awake in bloom
Did no one pass last Autumn
On your golden carpet, strewn

Why don't you run away?
The humans are coming fast
Don't just stand there and be acquired
Your security is past

Dumb innocence give me your seed
And let me away to sow
In some undeveloped land
Where the crocuses can grow.
......
Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

Bill says, " A considerable time had lapsed since I had written any poetry probably due to the shock of my heart attack. In fact I was not sure whether I could still do so. It was a great comfort to me therefore to achieve this poem after an elapse of nearly five years.
The theme of civil rights comes from the northern troubles. I got the idea while out for a walk around Silverpine, the lovely little roads now sadly changed by housing development. Many lovely old trees cut down while others await their fate with 'Security' and 'Acquired' boards ignominiously nailed to them.
The last verse is a lesson on how we can co-operate to save the situation by planting a new tree"

_________________________________________


Bill lived for nine more years after writing those words. It's interesting how the health shock effected his creativity and so nice he re-found it. Maybe a nice reminder to use our time well 🔆


I really love the third stanza. "Where are the lovers you shaded?..." Bill is looking at these condemned trees and wondering about the beautiful unconditional love it showed to people who are now no where to be seen when the trees need them. For me this wraps up what I've learned and had confirmed from Papa's poetry. Humans use the planet but get lost in our own pleasure and forget about what actually keeps us alive and what makes this such a wonderful planet to be on and that we do get to share. We share it with all the trees and eachother. We are however the only ones with either the intelligence to save it from ourselves or stay blinded and condemn it like these trees were condemned to their doom. Thanks Papa


This in my opinion is why laws against single use plastics and similar environmental saviours are so important. When idiosy decides to reverse them on a whim and because of only economics the indifference grows collectively and we lose our focus on the tree and the system as a whole. We then also forget that in focusing on the welfare of the tree, we focus on our own welfare. It's easy to forget this when we don't experience a direct relatable suffering however compassion towards the system still has our answers to a smoother future along side our dear tree friends 🫛

 I live in the " Real World  " lyrics by Glenny G
What's the matter with the car your driving it seems to be running fine 
"Fine Fine Fine Fine "
Why complain about the place your living it's just for doing time
" Time Time Time Time "
I can't worry about your mental state , I'm sick and tired of trying
" Bye Bye Bye Bye "
In just in case you can't relate ,  inside I feel like dying " I feel like crying "
But I'm working on me even though your walking out
I live in the real world not the one all filled with doubts 
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
 I live in the real not alone in fantasy
What's the matter with this watch I'm wearing it must be running slow
" Time time time time "
I thought I had so much more to do but I need some place to go
" Fun Fun Fun Fun "
Cruising down the lost highway it seemed to be where I'm bound
" Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce "
I'm satisfy me a real soul someone who wont let me down
 " Wont Let me down "
Cause I'm working on me even though I'm running free
I live in the real world not a lone in fantasy
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
I live in the real world not alone in fantasy
I'm gonna take a long vacation and write myself a  sad sad song
Shake loose all this aggravation , heal my heart up oh so strong
I live in the real world . I live in the real world , I live in the real world
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD >>>>>>>>>>>>>

I live in the " Real World " !

This time, we decided to do a cover based on Xian3’s idea. He has already uploaded his own version. The song is Sky and Sand, and his version represents the “Sand,” https://on.soundcloud.com/6dUaOQRlUTvRYwfsDg mine represents the “Sky.” We both used the same vocal track, but the overall tone and atmosphere are completely different. It made me realize once again how interpretation can give such breadth to the same song. I believe that being able to enjoy music this freely is truly important. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Xian3.https://on.soundcloud.com/jWqcgyW4NqMP4kyc0Z

Sky And Sand　　　
Composition and lyrics: Fritz and Paul Kalkbrenner

In the nighttime when the world is at its rest
You will find me in the place i know the best
Dancin’, shoutin’, flyin’ to the moon
Don’t have to worry ´cause i’ll be come back soon

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your 
In the palm of your hand,
I found myself alive in…)

In the daytime you will find me by your side
Tryna do my best and tryin’ make things right
When it all turns wrong there is no fault but mine
But it won’t hit hard `cause you let me shine

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand
Design our whole world ain’t nobody understand
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand
As long as we are flying, all this world ain’t got no end
All this world ain’t got no end

(I found myself alive in,
In the palm of your,
In the palm of your hand…
As long as we are flying 
All this world ain’t got no end,
All this world ain’t got no end,
Ohh,
All this world ain’t got no…)

Avertissement : lorsqu'il ne s'agit pas de textes, les voix utilisées en anglais le sont uniquement pour leur sonorité, et non pour leur sens ( que la plupart du temps je ne comprends pas). C'est encore  le cas ici, dans ce morceau où les paroles, comme le reste de la musique,  sont au service de la composition d'un nouvel ambient, qui mélange voix pop et classique avec synthé et rythme african fusion.

Lyrics:

EVENING  SHADOW
It's the evening shadow
   waking up in me your memory
It's the waiting of someone
   that never more will come to me

Here these days, the spring sun
   It's springtime but I don't care
Our time has been gone
   of this fact I'm aware

I remember when the evening time
   was a lap where we lulled so fine,
   with a sweet fresh wind
   blowin' up from a pink sweet sun
Now the sun has been going down
   so down that I can't hold it back

It's the evening shadow
   waking up in me your memory
It's the evening shadow
   telling me now our souls are free

Thinking about your life now,
   your practices so free..
They tell me is forever ended
   that you don't care nomore 'bout me

I remember when the evening time
   was a lap where we lulled so fine,
   with a sweet fresh wind
   blowin' up from a pink sweet sun
Now the sun has been going down
   so down that I can't hold it back

It's the evening shadow
   waking up in me your memory
It's the evening shadow
   telling me now our souls are free.

Lyrics:

SUN OF LIFE
Shines the day this morning
Sweet rays of sun are grazing my bed
The hard days passed just bearing
   had turned my existence into a cage so sad

It’s good to see in this morning
    the beginning of a new kind of life
I pack my own things
    discovering they are good and rife

Now I know the sun of life

As if I started for a journey
    I leave my home with a good pace
Behind my back the sky grey
In front of me the sun hits my face

And even if it will be hard
    I’ll never give up, I’ll never fall
Inside I’ve found the good card
I love my life, I’ll be nomore dull

Now I know the sun of life

Never more I could accept to bend down my head
Pack my things discovering how much good they are
The beginning is all I see in front of me
Shines the day, I think it’s the best day for me to start

Lyrics:

BLUE DRESSED KNIGHT
You can see him at night, kissed by the moonlight
If you ask him for help everything will be right.

He's hard as a stone
In this land he goes lone
With his horse without fear and with his bow.

For many he's mad
For someone he's sad
Everyday is riding and the grass his bed.

No one knows his name
No one crosses the line
If you are to blame don't you waste your time.

With his sword he's great
For you maybe's too late
And he has a big heart
Doesn't fear the fate.

But if you are in bad and you're not so bad
     he will give an aid, you can say that again.

You don't hear his voice
You don't see his face
With a mask he's riding throughout the space.

Many men will try
Most of them will cry
With his horse will fly toward the sky.

Blue dressed knight

Maybe it's my mind, or a hero to find
     but when I was young I would be that kind.

I would be a stone
I would go alone
With a horse without fear as he goes.

Lyrics:

DREAMY LIFE
She was not yet woman then
   but I already died for her
I drew a future in my mind
I thought the world was friendly and kind
My life went on in the lap of dreams
   made of blue skies and silver streams

I was lost in a dreamy life
My awakening was that night
In a long cry was dead the fire
Long since She wouldn't me anymore
  but I didn't understand her scorn
I thought the love would have been here forever

Forever

Time runs around us and takes all away
I've learned to keep the dreams where they must stay
In the tears of the morning
In my great wish of screaming
That's the life of one boy in love
A dreamy life to with I strove

I was lost in a dreamy life
My awakening was that night
In a long cry was dead the fire
Long since She wouldn't me anymore
  but I didn't understand her scorn
I thought the love would have been here forever

Forever
