Échos d’ Automne 

Si l’automne vient surprendre les amants que juillet a laissés « naufragés »
C est le temps des regrets, le temps dépassé: celui de tout donner, il faut abandonner.

(All summer can bring may just leave in autumn with a breeze)

Le temps d’une larme,le temps d’un regard, il est déjà trop tard…
Le temps des silences, de l’indifférence, puis de l’évidence que le “doré” vire au noir…
C’est le mois des “mais”, le mois des “mais “, plus de mois de mai…du mois d’aimer!

Le temps de l’automne, le temps où tout détonne, le temps désormais se conjugue au passé
Le temps des tourmentes, le temps de ne plus prétendre,
Le temps le temps qui court et qui s arrête et puis…
Le temps,qui s en va, qui s en va, qui s en va, tout se fane!

Le temps de t’attendre, le temps de se comprendre, le temps d’apprendre, le temps dépassé, le temps des regrets, de tout donner!


Echos of Autumn 

If autumn comes to surprise lovers that July left "shipwrecked"
It is the time of regrets, the time exceeded: that of giving everything, we must give up.

(All summer can bring may just leave in autumn with a breeze)

The time of a tear, the time of a look, it's already too late
The time of silences, indifference, then evidence that gold turns dark
It is the month of "buts", the month of "buts", no more months of May... the month of love!

The time of autumn, the time when everything stands out, time is now combined with the past
The time of torments, the time to no longer pretend,
Time the time that runs and stops and then
Time, who goes, who goes, who goes, everything fades!

The time to wait, the time to understand each other, the time to learn, the time exceeded, the time of regrets, to give everything....

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

My friend and close collaborator @rplanes offered me this great arrangement and the title and theme that he thought might make an interesting subject matter. Initially, I was scratching my head as the topic seemed too vast but then the ideas started to attach themselves to his melodies and I was hooked. Humans en masse appear to be taking wrong-turnings and making things worse rather than better. This is me letting off a little steam with Rod's help. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Reverse Entropy (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)
We drift from order to chaos,
Like it’s the norm.
Without a sense of pathos,
To see the storm.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Or go where you are told.

We let others cloud our vision,
Like they know best.
What happened to our ambition
Never addressed.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Before we get too old

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge, and fulfilled by skill.
 
We fall for the theorists,
Like it’s gospel.
Go find yourself some realists,
Who’re less hostile.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
While you still have a hold.

We’ve been duped at every turn,
By those we trust.
Without alarm or concern,
Now we are bust.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
If you can still feel bold.

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge and fulfilled by skill.

All our futures are in your hands
With all that it commands
Focus on how it now all stands
Before making your demands.

Dream and walk your way

Buzzed in California on a mountain side

The Faith

It would be like a dance 
Maintain this distance 
Where everything is created 
In cryptic 
In spells 
Weaving translucent mesh 
Soft to the ligaments 
So resist 
Praying for the Resilience of Refusal 
And so Certify the shelter 
Certify the cloud

Certify The Cloud

For Pride Month. This is a rough version with just me and the guitar. The real version will be a 90's dance song, hopefully with not flat vocals, hopefully this weekend

This is not about you,
Your life is not about who I love, or the things I do
You’re not the one that I answer to

But it’s not about me
There’s more to my life than i will ever know, than i’ll ever see
I don’t hurt anyone just let this be

I have no voice but I can speak
I don’t like what you do to me
I say it’s time we make a stand

It’s more than tonight
It’s more than my fight
This is my right
This is my life

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the people meet to let their flag unfurl

Do you feel it?

What does it matter to you
How i live my life, or what I believe, or the path I choose
Look inside, are you afraid to face the truth

We all need to be
Fragile and fearless, wild and free, you see 
for fate of the world, for our destiny 

Love is blind but I still see
And I don’t like what you’ve done to me
I see bloodstains on your hands!

Do you feel the beat
It’s the pulse of the world
Where the freaks all meet to let their flags unfurl

not about you (acoustic)

I loved you…you loved me …we both shared loves mystery
We lived out… our hopes and dreams…souls together…so it seemed…
Till fires burned down…and stars went out…bridges crossing… rivers drowned
Tears of happiness… dried up…we found the end… of endless love.

Is this the end of endless love…?
What were our hearts thinking of?
Cause I still love you…and if you love me too. 
Stay forever…and ever

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save
From these words of anger…jealous tears…bullets aimed at… hearts in fear…
Has left us standing…face to face…as tears roll down… you say…

Is this the end of endless love…?
What were our hearts thinking of?
Cause I still love you…and if you love me too. 
Stay forever…and ever


Cause I love you…if you love me…if we still share love’s mystery
Can we still live our hopes and dreams…?
Souls together…endlessly
Cause fires burned down…and stars went out…bridges crossing rivers drowned 
Tears of happiness dried up…we found the end…of endless love

Is this the end …is this the end…
we should be makin’ up…not breakin’ up

Cause I love you…if you love me…can we still share that mystery
Still live our hopes and dreams…Souls together…you and me

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save
From these words of anger…jealous tears…bullets aimed at… hearts in fear…
Babe were standing…here today…as tears… roll down… your face

I’m looking… in your eyes for love…searching for… the passion of
A love with promise… swept away…that we could somehow… save

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!
