THIS IS - Written and narrated by Hank Beukema

Shankari from France brought as this magnifique Healing Session 14. While listening you may experience new fields and paths within yourself. Perhaps these paths lead to new dimensions and galaxies where everything is love. Obstacles may arise along the way. They are never just obstructions. On the contrary, they are there so that we can grow by overcoming them.

Healing Session 14 - Shankari - Song for an Achronon Kingdom

The short version of my pirate edit of Ben Sollee's take on Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come".

A Change Is Gonna Come (Crussen Bootleg)

Awaiting events.
Audacious little intrigues in curtained booths.
Porkpie hats easing through the back door.
Hat-check girl with eyes of midnite.
Leather and lead sap in my left pocket,
Artillery in the right.

Slapstick thugs from a bad movie, 
staring at me.
I try hard to look human.
The plot persists in thickening.

Serenity, peace and contentment 
were for suckers;
I opened the door marked Keep Out.
The room spun once and began to fade.

Nearer my God to thee flashed in neon.
Everything went black…

If Not Now Then When? Cmaj 102bpm

When I heard this beauty from Alan the first time, I already heard a more powerful orchestral movement playing along in my head, so I asked Alan if I could produce his beauty my way, and luckily he did.
I took 1 of his instruments because I wanted the song to keep the same feel and velocity that Alan played, and then I started to build it up all over again with my instruments and created other harmonies and changed the bridge, as I intent to use slightly more sustain on the piano then Alan does, so I could start slightly earlier towards the next notes and create my harmonies.
I hope you’ll enjoy this version too, and if you think I overdid it, blame me, not Alan LOL.
As always your comments or critics are most welcome, it always helps me evolving my skills.

Lyrics Don’t Bother

Did you ever
Think of me
Somewhere lost from sight
When I all you said to me 
Where those empty words 
Gotta go gotta go 
I don’t need your plight 

don’t bother to see me 
don’t bother to stay 
I`ll be here here in my bed 
An I`ll be I`ll be ok 

don’t bother to ask me 
don’t bother to look 
Lay n my bed 
See what the others took 

Funny how they gather here 
Like vultures to the prey 
don’t bother 
Just go away 

Untill I`ve gone 
spare me the prayers you 
meant to say 
Go about your business 
And let me go my way 

Oh my love I see you 
You’re my only one 
So Just you remember 
Our times been such fun 

Don’t let them change your way 
don’t listen at all 
don’t bother don’t bother 
My words will never fall

John Styles & Alan Johnson - Don't Bother

Avec son aimable autorisation voici une adaptation d'une chanson de Gérard Delassus (paroles de Marie Delassus) dont je suis tombé amoureux cet été. Je parle de la chanson, pas de Gérard ! Vous pouvez entendre la version originale (et bien d'autre pépites) sur la page SoundCloud de Gérard ici :
https://soundcloud.com/g-rard-delassus/les-gens-qui-passent

Paroles :

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts 
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

C'est l'orage qui gronde...
Et l'éclair qui réveille
Une vitre là-bas,
Message sous la treille
Des hommes d'autrefois
Qui dormaient sous ce toit

C'est un chien qui aboie... 
Et très loin, tout là-bas,
Loin dans la nuit des temps,
Répond un chien errant
Qui suivait l'inconnu
Passant dans cette rue.

Une musique au loin...
Les fêtes et le vin,
Vendanges et moissons,
L'amour sur tous les tons
Faisait chanter les gens,
J'entends encore leurs chants.

C'est la cloche qui sonne
Au soleil de l'été,
D'un été oublié.
La foule endimanchée
S'en va se joindre aux ombres
Sous le grand porche sombre.

Et c'est la pluie qui tombe
Et le ciel qui se plombe...
J'entends les eaux qui montent,
Le pays qui s'enfonce,
Les hommes qu'elle tue,
La Loire des grandes crues.

C'est le glas qui s'égrenne...
Tant de joies, tant de peines...
Clameurs, gémissements,
Et rires des enfants...
Ils sont passés par là.
Ils ne reviendront pas

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

Refrain :
J'entends des fois
Passer des gens
Passés déjà
Depuis longtemps

Les gens qui passent (adaptation d'une chanson de Gérard Delassus)

Je voudrais vivre dans un monde parallèle ou les parallèles se rejoignent, ou l’impossible devient possible …

I would like to live in a parallel world, where parallel meet, where the impossible becomes possible ...

Parallèles

A story that we should all listen to,we live in a selfish world,all wanting better whilst there in the corner a child reaches out for the smallest amount of your time ,your help.

~The Forgotten~

Which is their fault?
if all they want
is the same things
as any other child?

Learn and play
live without fear
food on their tables
and a roof to feel safe

Innocent souls
with apprehension and
sadness in their eyes
still, kind and sweet
with the purest of hearts

They don't know selfishness
and will share what they have
even if only a piece of bread
they will cut it in half

They are happy
playing with a block
of wood on the ground
while your ungrateful kid
is crying for not having the
latest model of cell phone

While you are taking
pictures of your expensive
meals or clothes
they went to sleep
with their stomachs empty

This world is unfair, selfish
full of empty people.
No child deserves
to be the forgotten.
