It's been a while since I put out a jazz tune so I decided to put out this standard by Gershwin played on my nylon string. I had a look at a few different examples of sheet music for this one. Interestingly there seem to be quite a few variations of the chords. One of the beauties of jazz! I used the chords in a cool old songbook I bought at a garage sale. The tune was written in the 1930s so I reckon the songbook is as old as 1940s. 

A simple chordal representation of the tune. Hope you enjoy!

Summertime (by George Gershwin)

This song was written while watching a video that Joliz shot from inside a car going through a car wash. There was just something very inspiring and contemplative about this 2 minute trip.

I rolled into a car wash
In a flood of soap and rain
A self-contained storm
Where the outcome is the same

Steam on the windshield
A ghost in the glass
Held an unlit cigarette
Saw the present and the past

The radio was static
Some broken English song
The DJ said “this is Berlin” 
But I knew he got it wrong

You left me in Kreuzberg
With your paintings and your gin
You said “love's a revolution”
But you never let me in

I stayed too long at Kottbusser Tor
Thinking you'd come down
In your fashion army coat
Like a queen without a crown

Neon bleeds on cobblestones
Your name in every drip
I saw your shadow on a bar stool
And a guy with a crooked lip

Now the soap’s all in the gutters
And the world comes back in grey
This city’s got a talent
For fading things away

The glass is clean on this old wreck
It’s time to retreat
And somewhere past the Fernsehturm  
The silence fills your seat

TITLE: Zhongyuansaurus Stomp
_____________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Plates on its back like shields of steel
A walking fortress with a primal appeal
Tail like a hammer swingin' low
Crushing the ground wherever it’d go

(Chorus)
Zhongyuansaurus stomp stomp stomp
Through the ages
Never gonna stop
Armored beast
A legend of the land
Zhongyuansaurus
Built to withstand

(Verse 2)
Its spikes were whispers of ancient wars
Fossils singing of forgotten shores
Lumbering slow but power-packed
A prehistoric tank on a well-worn track

(Pre-chorus)
Bone and brawn
No soft disguise
A living riddle in ancient skies

(Chorus)
Zhongyuansaurus stomp stomp stomp
Through the ages
Never gonna stop
Armored beast
A legend of the land
Zhongyuansaurus
Built to withstand

(Bridge)
It saw the dawn when giants reigned
A world untamed
Unchained
Unclaimed
Every footprint carved in stone
A message left in earth and bone

(Outro)
Whatever you looked like for real; you're in my dreams...Such a thrill.

Bones Don't Lie

Zhongyuansaurus Stomp

Softness (Water)
KAT x Primemotiv

A dialogue between sound and silence.
Softness flows like water, shaping what it touches, never forcing, always returning.
This first piece of the Element Series was born in the quiet space between us –
between Primemotiv’s wandering tones (@prime-motiv) and the stillness inside my words.

The cover artwork is inspired by a hand-painted tribe mandala,
created during my shamanic journey through the desert of northern Mexico,
a symbol of the four elements united.


Blessing
May this piece move like quiet water,
carrying the place where it was born.
Between your sound and my silence
may it touch softly
and return softly
to those who need it.
