Let The Love You Feel Inside  See It Through

This is a windlass shanty (Text from "Songs of the American Sailormen" (1924) by Joanna C. Colcord).

The tune is attributed to Liam Milner in the collection "A Bonnie Bunch Of Roses" (1983)
by Dan Milner and Paul Kaplan.

It's a fine example of a work song exposing a bit of social history.

William Tapscott and his brother James were brokers for at least two packet ship companies
and would arrange passage across the Atlantic Ocean from Liverpool to New York.
 
Regrettably, their advertising was often fraudulent and overstated the quality and size of the ships. The poor emigrants were well and truly ripped off. On board the ships, 
the food and accommodation were inferior.

"Clarence Dock" in Liverpool opened in 1830. It received many ferry passengers from Ireland 
during the Potato Famine, when Liverpool Atlantic packet ship sailings were more frequent 
than those from Ireland.

"Waterloo Dock" opened in 1834. It was the major exit point from England for the NY-bound. 

"Castle Garden", in the last verse, refers to Castle Clinton in lower Manhattan (The Battery),
which was the forerunner (until 1892) of Ellis Island for receiving new immigrants to the
United States.

FEARS FOR DREAM

Meditation in the Garden of Transformation

Visite des Elfes Sylvains

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

Something To Remember Me

Première pensée   (Translated after French text )
Vidéo :  https://youtu.be/NYPOfarT2w0
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.
