Calling Niles Rodgers for their last album wasn't the worst thing they did as well as celebrating good old funk heritage mixed with electro sounds à la Jean Michel Jarre... Adieu Daft punk.. You leave great memories  . Hope you enjoy this humble personal tribute . 
Have a great week

A beautiful song called One heart whole written and arranged and produced by 2Rightly, me on vocals 💜


One heart whole (2 Rightly/Aine Parkes)

if he kisses me tonight
my body will go numb
like it used to do
when i was young
i wanna scar our palms
and then put them together
let them collide
just like stars do
once in a while

ashes to ashes 
dust to dust
i am worth nothing
but i don't wanna vanish
let me stay for a night

your blood will flood my body
my blood will flood your veins
your blood will flood my body
my blood will flood your veins
you'll remember me forever
and i will make you regret the day we met

every city every country
feels just like home to us
yet everywhere we go we feel lonely
there's no place that makes us feel wanted
move slowly like you are in a black-and-white movie
you never know, this place might be haunted
traces everywhere in crimson-scarlet
stay awake, just in case

blue stragglers

Méliès


Verse 1:
Before Star Trek, Star Wars or Interstellar
Illusionist, Actor, and Film director
George Melieu
Started it all

Chorus 1 & 2:
“Wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, magicians…  come dream with me”


Verse 2:
From his theater of illusions
He started film making
A jam in the camera
A little mistake 
brought the stroke of brilliance
Out came special effects 

Verse 3:
He gave us:
A Trip to the Moon
The Impossible Dream
And the first Cinderella
multiple exposures, time lapse photograpy

Pre-Chorus and Chorus 3:
“Look around… this is where dreams are made”
“It worked perfectly”
“Happy endings only happen in the movies”
“Wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, magicians…  come dream with me”


Unused lyrical ideas:
Created Substition splices, 
Creating special effects for films
in films
So many innovations
500 short films
Brought us Substition splices, multiple exposures and time lapse photograpy
It all began at the Theater Houdin
He created the first one man band with him playing all seven charactersThe execution of of Mary Stuart first known film to use special effects such as the stop trick
Surreal journeys
Bankrupt and dreams gone
Worked in obscurity in toy store in a Paris train station

Quotes:
“If you've ever wondered where your dreams come from, you look around... this is where they're made.”
“My life has taught me one lesson, Hugo Cabret, and not the one I thought it would. Happy endings only happen in the movies.”
“My friends, I address you all tonight as you truly are; wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, magicians... Come and dream with me.”

Georges Melies

Feel Alive

Elefan Tree - Love

For Janis, Gosia & Tim, 
Snow song 

Snow is descending
Branching out
Fill the world
with a cover of silence
from moist to crystal
A shiny endless glow.

The hour is getting late
The world is getting full.
Will you be there?
With me
    in this snow.

The guitar parts were recorded with my KorgD888. After finding them back again today, I added harmonica, a string sound with the VST Orpheus, and a small vocal part.
