A phrase I hadn't come across until reading Gary McMahon's blog (and now i hear it all the time).  A song about remaining stoic in the face of it all.

Check out Gary's songs and blogs here:

Sing out your sad parade
Storm out the barricades
Lifting up heavyweights
Everything's different someday

Everything's coming up gold
If you squint at the world
You can sleep with your eyes half closed
If there's nothing inside your soul

Hanging on to let go
Hanging on to let go

Nothing will ever be normal
Hoping the wind it won't change
Put on old shoes
Call out your blues
Put on your resting bitch face

Nothing will ever be old
Feeling alright in the rain
Slip on old shoes
Call out old blues
Put on your resting bitch face

Nothing will ever be normal
Hoping the wind it won't change
Put on old shoes
Call out your blues
Just put on your resting bitch face..

Resting Bitch Face

The last of us

What A Wonderful World

Plans made, unfulfilled
For a life not lived
We dared to believe it was real
But it wasn’t to be for us
What we grasped for a moment turned to dust
Fleeting perfection, swiftly crushed
Now I survive, because I must

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Do you remember before
The darkness came to call
And took away the dream
Now I yearn for those days
To not know, not feel this way
To be ignorant, to be free
To unsee what I have seen

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Please listen to me
I’m here and I need you 
We’re different I know
Let me in and I’ll show you
Love can exist with pain
And weakness is a strength
Together we’ll find
I’ll ease your hurt and you’ll ease mine

What do I do with the pain
To live life again
To remember is hard
To forget is even harder
We’re together alone
I cry but you won’t
I’m weak and you’re strong 
But who will fall the hardest?

Who Will Fall?

Original Lyrics by Heidi-Marie Arapa

Are you scared
or are you sceptical

Death

death
is a tragedy
a million deaths
is a statistic

Get that jab
Jab it
Get that jab
now jab it
Get that jab
now jab it

Get that jab
now jab it
Get that jab
now jab it

Get that jab
now jab it
Get that jab

Get That Jab (Intro)

Hollow at heart they bore frowns on their face
Stepping in tow through winter's embrace
Snow covered bodies now littered the streets
A product of violence ignited by creed
Blood is perspired with each crooked step
A slew of those slain within inches of death
Their hearts palpitating as time it is nigh
A final glimpse caught with sorrowful eyes
Murderous swine unperturbed by their deeds
Continue with malice to force their beliefs
As the body count rises humanity breaks
None too concerned as their hearts are displaced
Blinded by passion for what they believe
A promise of Heaven which Satan conceived
Upon the destruction of all that is good
In Hell they will weep for the misunderstood.

NOT READY FOR HOME

Hold your head up, girl, it's over.
Didn't want to have you, feel this way.
I know you're hurting, I'm leaving.
Can't you see it's wrong, for me to stay.

Just like a shooting star, it's over.
The dreams we shared, are gone today.
I know you're hurting, I'm leaving.
Can't you see it's wrong, for me to stay, to stay.

Don't expect me to play, your Mister, Daddy come home.
The world's seen enough of fostered, children alone.
I'm just a running boy, who has to, seek the unknown.
And my mind, it's still young and growing, not ready for home.

Just like a shooting star, it's over.
Didn't want to have you, feel this way.
I know you're hurting, I'm leaving.
Can't you see it's wrong, for me to stay, to stay.

I couldn't bear to see my children, start in the end.
And the only real problem showing, it's still in our heads.
So don't expect me, to play your mister ahhhhh, daddy come home.
The world's seen enough, of fostered, children alone.

I'm just a running boy, who has to, seek the unknown.
And my mind, it's still young and growing, not ready for home.

No, No
Not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready for home. 
No, No
Not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready for home. 
No, No
Not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready for home. 
No, No
No, No
No, No
No, No
No, No
No, No

This Track I recorded Ensemble of The Strings with guitars and added instruments to give this piece a backdrop of Colour with a harmonious relationship with the Cello & The Viola, these instruments gel together giving dimension and depth to this Piece.

Ensemble of the strings
