Rise Up Now

"Suo Gân" (or Huna Blentyn) is a traditional Welsh lullaby by an anonymous composer.
It was first recorded in print around 1800 and the lyrics were captured by the Welsh folklorist Robert Bryan (1858–1920).

The Song was featured in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film "Empire of the Sun", and I used to sing it to my kids :).

Piano by my daughter Awen.

We hope you'll enjoy.


Lyrics:

Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes,
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.

Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?

Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes.
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.

English

Sleep my darling, on my bosom,
Harm will never come to you;
Mother's arms enfold you safely,
Mother's heart is ever true.
As you sleep there's naught to scare you,
Naught to wake you from your rest;
Close those eyelids, little angel,
Sleep upon your mother's breast.

Sleep, my darling, night is falling
Rest in slumber sound and deep;
I would know why you are smiling,
Smiling sweetly as you sleep?
Do you see the angels smiling
As they see your rosy rest,
So that you must smile an answer
As you slumber on my breast?

Don't be frightened, it's a leaflet
Tapping, tapping on the door;
Don't be frightened, 'twas a wavelet
Sighing, sighing on the shore.
Slumber, slumber, naught can hurt you,
Nothing bring you harm or fright;
Slumber, darling, smiling sweetly
At those angels robed in white.

Another wonderful song by Jim Barrett, another collaboration with Roger Whittlesey, who played piano and drums, and sung the remarkable background vocals, not to forget Noel Barrett on bass. I added some saxophones. And there's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyw9tMktmjs

TITLE: WHEN THE CLOCK RUNS SLOWER
__________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
I used to leap like rivers flow
Now my knees creak where I go
Time’s a thief
But it’s polite
Steals your days
Leaves the night

(Chorus)
You don’t know till you’re there
When the clock runs slower
The weight feels bare
I can’t run
I can’t fight
But I’ve learned the art of quiet light

(Verse 2)
Youth is loud
It burns so fast
Thinks forever’s meant to last
But every sprint turns to a crawl
The mirror whispers
Shows it all

(Pre-chorus)
Don’t pity me
Just wait your turn
Life’s a fire
And we all burn

(Chorus)
You don’t know till you’re there
When the clock runs slower
The weight feels bare
I can’t dance
I can’t climb
But I’ve made a home in borrowed time

(Bridge)
They laugh
They run
They don’t see
The way a shadow bends the knee
I smile
I nod
Let them go
They’ll meet the years
They’ll come to know

Life Isn't Meant To Last

When The Clock Runs Slower

i heard on the radio the other day that loneliness is the new epidemic.............peace and cheers for having a listen





                 Afterthought

well i don't really know what happened to us
but i could sure use a friend right now
cos all that we built is turning to dust
and there ain't no more how or why

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really wouldn't have a clue
i'm trying to appreciate, the little effort that you gone and made
but it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

so don't give it a second thought
it never mattered much before
and if there was a page for all the mistakes we made
i'd fill a book or four, a volume that's for sure

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really don't have a clue
i'm trying to understand, things were good and now they're bad
and it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend
