Picture: You Deserve Better (Rae)

Cover Tribute to Phil Lynott (R.I.P) and Thin Lizzy. I Loved recording this Classic track, but with lyrics slightly changed💔

When I say I loved recording this, doesn't mean I agree to this dark subject matter. It's a miserable path to be cheated on, or backstabbed in anyway...but this song brings to my mind Serial cheaters who simply cannot show remorse or responsibility for what they do to another human being who believes in and Trusts them. If any of you listening to this song are Victim to such abuse then I hope you can find a way out through friends, family or anyone else who can help you leave the situation. Enough for you to Heal.

This is a rendition of a Classic and beloved song, by a band that Many of us have loved since an era of Very Special music...that Continues in its influence we see today🙏 I have only my own translations and thoughts about the words.

And I will spare a Final thought for the Perpetrators of such behaviour (to be Fair). Here it is...
                       Get F💥💥d!!😁⚡⚡

Lyrics: Don't Believe aWord

Don't believe me when I tell you
Not a word of this is True
Don't believe me when I tell you
Especially when I tell you
I'm in Love with you

Don't believe me when I tell you
That I wrote this Song for you
There might be some other silly pretty boy (girl)
I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word
Words are only spoken
And our Heart's like a Promise
Made to be Broken

Don't believe a word
Words can tell Lies
And lies are no comfort
When there are Tears in your eyes

Don't believe me when I tell you
Not a word of this is True
Don't believe me when I tell you
Especially when I tell you
I'm in Love with You

And don't believe me when I tell you
That I wrote this song for You
There just might be some other silly pretty boy (girl)
I'm singing it to

Don't believe a word
Don't believe a word
Don't believe a word

Not a word of this is True


Don't Believe a Word (Cover) Original by Thin Lizzy

Lyrics: 

In the morning I need coffee
Sleepy eyes, a dry mouth
My hair stands straight up
I have to wake up
All I need is my coffee

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

During the day I need water
And some food, to feel good
With more coffee, in my body
I can continue the work I do

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

When it becomes afternoon
I am hungry, need some dinner
And to rest on the sofa
With more coffee to stay awake

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

In the morning I need coffee
Sleepy eyes, a dry mouth
My hair stands straight up
I have to wake up
All I need is my coffee

But in the evening, no more coffee
Just need my baby right beside me
Need some love
Need some heat
Before I close my eyes to sleep

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe...

That Is All I Need

Meteoric (2021) Anthology CD1 Track 02

Lyrics: Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374)
Music: Michele Ansani & Francess Harris (@pianofran)
Piano: Francess Harris
Vocals, keyboards and electronic strings: Michele Ansani

[Eng lyrics below]

It would actually be a cover, but I do not know whether Petrarch (or others to him contemporary) had also given musical form to the sonnet. For him, the compositions of the Canzoniere (late title) were actually 'Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta'. Modest, the poet. The literature about this introductory sonnet is endless, one can easily start from Wikipedia.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I had taken this and other texts from the italian vernacular lyric tradition of the origins, giving them some melodic texture: a normal operation for a student of Literature oriented towards medieval studies and a lover of medieval tunes.
I proposed to Francess (@pianofran - please visit her SC page, full of great piano performances) to play a piano base for this song, and she went much further (as I imagined), with her usual delicate and unmistakable touch, helping to generate a melody and an atmosphere that seemed to me perfectly suited to this very famous poetic composition.

Englsh lyrics (translation by A S. Kline)

You who hear the sound, in scattered rhymes,
of those sighs on which I fed my heart,
in my first vagrant youthfulness,
when I was partly other than I am,

I hope to find pity, and forgiveness,
for all the modes in which I talk and weep,
between vain hope and vain sadness,
in those who understand love through its trials.

Yet I see clearly now I have become
an old tale amongst all these people, so that
it often makes me ashamed of myself;

and shame is the fruit of my vanities,
and remorse, and the clearest knowledge
of how the world's delight is a brief dream.

Original poem

Voi ch’ascoltate in rime sparse il suono
di quei sospiri ond’io nudriva ’l core
in sul mio primo giovenile errore
quand’era in parte altr’uom da quel ch’i’ sono,

del vario stile in ch’io piango et ragiono
fra le vane speranze e ’l van dolore,
ove sia chi per prova intenda amore,
spero trovar pietà, nonché perdono.

Ma ben veggio or sì come al popol tutto
favola fui gran tempo, onde sovente
di me medesmo meco mi vergogno;

et del mio vaneggiar vergogna è ’l frutto,
e ’l pentirsi, e ’l conoscer chiaramente
che quanto piace al mondo è breve sogno.
