Where My Soul Belongs

I heard the beautiful instrumental piece called 'Moon' by BoxTox https://soundcloud.com/user-247600493/moon-one and listened while studying his amazing artwork. It is really inspiring and conjured up a complete world within my imagination! Part of a longer story https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/sets/jeremiah-and-the-moon
I asked him if I could make some additions and he kindly agreed! Thank you Jonas! So I wrote this allegorical story and narrate it here. I also added some atmospheric samples : )

Jeremiah and the Moon

Jeremiah was very young to be singing to the moon
and everybody wondered how he'd learnt so much, so soon

It had barely been four seasons since he came into our care
as his mother somehow faded into a deep and dark despair

Veronique spread lightness in the kingdom of the day
but life contrived some bitterness in its classic, cold, ballet

When transpirational powers took her lover from her side
her skin turned pale, her eyes were black, she cried, she cried, she cried.....




Jeremiah came to us then, a thoughtful serious child
to learn of incantations to the spirits of the wild

We explored the deepest meanings of the wondrous world of art
and the existential leanings of the life that is our part





The citizens absolved themselves from any present shame
by nominating leaders to relieve them of the blame

and upon mid summer evening they would gather on the moor
to sing the songs of solstice , welcome all the coming year




Jeremiah knew his role, lifting his eyes to heaven
His infant voice he offered up, in innocent intercession

A weighty price, it may seem to us, for his selfless benediction
Yet his face remained beatific, circumscribing our condition

That the innocent shall pay the price, is the bargain we have made
The population is now content, till next mid summer day

Jeremiah was very young to be singing to the moon
and everybody wondered how he'd learnt so much, so soon....

Jeremiah and the Moon (music by BoxTox with story by Garddwr Porffor)

A STRANGER’S EYES


Her eyes are calling
tonight’s the day
gonna spread her wings
come what may.
Making plans
that seem so high
loving strangers
just to get by.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you
calling you.
A stranger’s eyes 
are calling you
calling you.

Words with promises
of things to come
the past behind you
no need to run.
Walls of steel
and fields of stone
hide my vision
keep us all alone.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you 
calling you.
A stranger’s eyes 
are calling you
calling you.

The passing stars
free the chains
ashes of dreams
remove all pain.
Video-flash backs
from the past
the man on the tube
says the die is cast.

A stranger’s eyes
a stranger’s eyes
are calling you
calling you 
calling you
calling you.

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

A first collab with Nigel @windscaleblues, the genius behind the Windscale Blues Experiment and the myriad woodwinds he so deftly and beautifully deploys.  In this case, clarinet, soprano sax, tenor sax and flute.  It's a great pleasure and a great  honor to combine musical notions in this way and to offer up a jazzy little thing featuring Nigel's wonderful duets and solos.

Gonna listen to the radio
All night long
Keep me connected
To the world
With some talk
and a little song.

Though what I hear does worry me
Everyone fears an enemy
But I listen to the soft voices
On the late night show

Station Call

I'm gonna search you
through the static
Going to move through the frequencies
A beacon of sameness
a little human connectivity.

Going to scan the void
Along every curve and line
Got to be ready and able
to receive any hint of a sign
