flipping 'eck - that's beautifully observed - hurts in the nicest ways.

ooheee.... this is a sad/sweet beauty... love it!!

Cool, understated track! Great vocal delivery & lyrics! (Cool video, too--love that energetic dog!)

Love this Lenny...and the video is perfect...simple complexity :-)

From time to time I've felt this way... and meaning to write a song about it.  

Hope you don't overly empathize, but if you do, I'm with you in spirit (as are many others I'm sure).  Please take a breath, know you're not alone and remember that it's darkest before the dawn.  Stay well. ☮ .  I'm Done.

Lyrics follow:     Done

I'm tired and I'm dyin

(Nyah Maan Ohoo Ow
Ah Ow)

This life is...
It's pullin on me

It's pullin on me

...

I'm Done!
I'm Done!

(I'm tired and I'm dyin...)

No fuckin way
I'm So STUCK

... 

What ya want me to do?

What ya want me to doo?

W T F !

Oh ... It's reasonable But I'm not doin that

I'm Done

Man.  There's no sense kickin a dead horse
If it's down 
It's down

...

It's down

Done

You do get some nice surprises in this SC audiosphere of ours.

Imagine my delight when out of the blue Paco dropped me a note saying he'd composed some music and wondered if I might have a bash at some lyrics to match.  Of course, I jumped at the chance.

It transpired that his composition wasn't about anything in particular, rather, it was just one of those pieces that sort of emerge from a theme somewhere and grow into something very worthwhile but difficult to "place".  However, in our discussions about possible development ideas, I couldn't help but notice Paco's deep affection for his home city of Seville, and there’s only ever one outcome when England meets Seville…. 

Thank you so much, Paco, for the invitation to make some musical marmalade -  it was a hoot “jamming” with you!

Hot Seville Night

Softly as the dusk,
Certain as the easy sunrise
No need to rush,
Time stands still before your eyes.
Watching as the world plays out,
All its crazy bright tomorrows.
Ebbs and flows of human tide
Cool air hanging in the shadows,
Of a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

Orange blossom rain
Lazy jasmine musks the air
Aroma showers fall again
Kids with petals in their hair
In these melancholic times
Family smiles caught unaware
Bring sanity and peace of mind
Citrus blessings freely shared
In a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

Hot Seville Night
Senses move to ease the spirit
Wishing  I was back there in it,
My Hot Seville Night

Magic jacaranda sway
Violet through the Alcazar
Ancient histories replay
Laughter from the tapas bars
Rose flamenco passions flare
burning scarlet in delight
Festive celebration colours
Billow everywhere in sight
On a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.

On a sweet perfumed, hot Seville night.......

Experimental Piano. My mother was hospitalized yesterday...

I-The day my mother was hospitalized

Navigating life can be like a game of tug of war with our dog... (especially on election day within the USA,) where he and the folks with whom we interact don't care about anything but, what's their immediate want or need... with no consideration of others or future generations with regard to BEing able to live a healthy, safe, prosperous life. Instead, we'd rather not admit our complacency and thereby... our culpabilities towards why things occur the way they do as to why there are still wars, famine and more rampant and ferocious diseases... despite many professing we live in the information age, are superior species, etc. Funny how we are failing to see the reasons for these things slapping us in the face essentially, while we continue to simply watch our friends, families, and Mother Nature become more ill and die from unnatural, preventable causations... each day, each month, each year. Even more funny, how those encouraged to "speak the truth" are then... ridiculed, mocked, bullied, and belittled for taking a stand to do so. It's done under the guise we must "Be kind..." the new age way of saying "Sit down and shut up... we just want to enjoy spending the money we made off the backs of those we're now killing." Even the ACLU receives up to 8% of their budget from companies with whom their litigants are then encouraged settle disputes and to sign nondisclosure agreements. (It might be more than 8%, by now.) Transparency would be for it to be illegal for any "gag order" to be placed on any lawsuit settlements whether inside or outside of courtroom proceedings.

Demain , le vent… Texte : O’Mat

Et si demain nous décidions,
Comme le vent souffle la feuille,
Comme la feuille embrasse le vent,
De nous échapper librement,

Nous prendrions le premier vol,
Comme le vent souffle l’oiseau,
Comme l’oiseau embrasse le vent,
En quête d’un pays d’Orient,

On y trouve d’autres manières,
On y respire d’autres parfums,
Dans la douceur du matin,
Se cachent parfois quelques guerres,

On y trouve de beaux visages,
Parfois marqués par les années,
Mais que le soleil a tanné,
Comme pour effacer leur âge,

On y découvre des villages,
On y entend d’étranges sons,
Dans la douceur du soir qui tombe,
Se cachent parfois quelques orages,

On y traverse des rivages,
Parfois marqués par les années,
Et que le soleil a séché,
Comme pour révéler leur âge,

Et si demain nous décidions,
Comme le vent souffle la feuille,
Comme la feuille embrasse le vent,
De nous échapper librement,

Nous t’emmènerions, mon enfant.

Demain , Le Vent...    O'Mat / Illos   chant JuliA

By a cold TV dinner
she flicks thru her photographs
finds what she's looking for
lets out a little laugh..

that's him !  And me
with our toes in the sea !

By a cold Christmas dinner
she flicks thru her photographs
finds what she's looking for
lets out a little laugh

that's him !  And me
with our toes in the sea !

 By a  hospital dinner
she flicks thru her photographs
finds what she's looking for
lets out a little laugh..

that's him !  And me
with our toes in the sea !

By a cold turkey dinner
she flicks thru her photographs
finds what she's looking for
lets out a little laugh..

that's him !  And me
with our toes.....
