maybe play with the speed here. from normal to double time might represent the speed bursts if it can be made tasteful. May be possible tomretaim the timing and just adjust the speed and gait if the picking

I am a Cheetah

Pt1 All That Was, Is Now Forgotten

Started as a hommage to Carla bley, I caught a rehearsal on YT that she did with Jack Bruce and others, and the melody is just out of this world. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hIKrRrprvs

I mixed in some noises from the beach this week, and the noise of a bottle emptying in the sink. 
The lyrics I had for a while but could never get the first lines right.

Lyrics below:

[At first the hand is not blurry 
It gets a glimpse of the madness
But already things get dizzy
The solid wood dinner table] 
(Version 1 not used)

There is a storm tonight
The teapot flew across the room
Things got blurry, the walls moved
My body remembers what the mind erased

Show me your soul, I’ll surrender mine
I’ll make it work, shut myself down 
You keep dancing over my wounds
And me I dance around your words

The sun sometimes sees what I do 
But the moon knows all my secrets 
They’re deep in a pit full of ghosts 
Some don’t have a name anymore 

The sooner I accept that I 
can’t ever rip free from your gaze 
I will be free of illusions
That there is always an escape

I will grow from this suffering
But I’m not comfortable knowing
The storms you chase will burn your eyes 
Maybe someone already does

Chasing storms (Maybe someone already does)

All in my mind

Opening Night

Briefly Looking Back as I drive Away

I was up before dawn

Neon

Fall Over

Baaa Bêêê

-an ode to the eldest Youngling as we begin to prepare for the first steps into adulthood. and yes, I hurt my own feelings writing and singing this one, yet I couldn't be prouder of J if I tried... please excuse the mess-

--

hard to believe it's been so long now
and it's almost time for you to
take your next step out in the world
as you're grown

over all these years
throughs the joys and the fears
we've come through barricades
standing on the edge of a next parade

and we'll go with you
yes, we'll go with you
no matter where lift leads you
we'll be right behind you,
my love
we'll stay
we'll stay

oh my child,
the time's almost here
when we'll scream, and we'll cry, and we'll cheer
'cuz we know you have given your all and your best

it's been the greatest honor of our lives
to watch you grow right in front of our eyes
and to call you my child and i'm your mother
oh, couldn't have asked for better

and we'll go with you
yes, we'll go with you
no matter what life leads you through
we'll be there with you

and know you'll go places we never dreamed of
and you'll see those you've never met yet
and you'll change things for the better
'cuz that's who you are

and the tears falling down
are of pride and 
all because you have been one of the greatest
gifts of all

and i'm proud of who you're becoming
and i know you've got more to go
oh, i love you, and i'll be with you
no matter where you go
so here you go
