Cool Track…. 🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024

I hope to someday finish animation I started years ago of flamingos in the rain dancing to this song.

Synth harp, guitars, clarinet, cellos, and bass set to hit hop, conga, and bongo beats at a tango’s pace of 70 bpm. Rain audio recorded live in December 2023.

I wrote an extended version of this track more than a decade ago during a time I was experiencing intense physical pain. As I fled inwardly into creativity to escape, this music narrated the discovery of a quiet harbor from pain.

Later I became amused watching a wildlife documentary of flamingos and their mating dance. As they marched together in step, abruptly turning their heads and beaks known as head flagging to an unknown beat accentuating their synchronized rhythm, I imagined flamingos dancing the tango. Initially I had ambitions to create an animated short with Tango In The Rain as the soundtrack. With time constraints, I leaned more toward the immediacy of digital music-making than animation and discovered pain relief in the process. And as a fan of old movies, this tune evolved into my fantasy score for a different Singin' in the Rain type of musical of animated dancing flamingos.

I hope the music takes you to your own safe harbor, hopefully a place of grace, comfort, and peace. My best wishes to you.

Tango In The Rain

Lyrics:

If I stayed in my home
and just laid around
and talk to myself
would it be fun
or the end of the world
you see I don't recall
making no sense at all

I wanna go on
like it's a dream I hope to live in
and I found a home to live in
we didn't know
we didn't know why
save a little love for me

End Of The World

The World should care for the Children, they need a better present & a better futur...

PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN

Keith had a gentle guitar phrase and  a few words that he was playing with and shuffled it over to me for a listen to see what I made of it. The result is the song below. The conflict is in the spirituality represented by the sparks on a fire ascending, and the observation that the embers twinkle, fade and fall, silent. What is it all about if the prayers, meditations and positive thoughts just fall back to earth like the sparks? The beliefs we embrace must hit the road of reality. If they measure up to good - wonderful! But if not? The supreme irony for me is watching kids being taught to hate in a religious school class.  I was going to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to set up the point of contrast (But you can't..."). Instead, Keith preferred the AND ("And you can't...") as, in addition to all that one CAN believe, you must be aware that other things follow too. Can And Cannot. So simple. Or is it?

Lyrics:
We seem to want to find
A spiritual connection to space and time
An affinity for infinity and the great beyond
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence, fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

It's the lack of definition of in the twilight hours
That makes it so difficult to find our way
Past all the claims and assertions of things that cannot be proven
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

Hold On (To Someone)

And You Can't

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album  Ticket to Shangri-La  released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme

Starling Wars

You fly in to foul my nest 
Seeing red I puff out my chest
Aiming at your catacombs
Dropping all my guano bombs
Flit across and I peck at you
Cause my beliefs are the only truth
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

I ruffle your feathers
You think that you’re better
Ethnically superior
The plumage of an emperor
Gonna peck my eye’s right out
Squawk about it loud and proud
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B

Underneath there’s the dove of peace
Peeking out at the busy streets
I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings
Drop a flower confess my sins
Fleeting thought it just flies away
Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

STARLING WARS

Hey everyone. 2024 is coming. I sincerely hope that it will be a good year for everyone. I uploaded my performance of this song here because I wanted my friends to know that the gut strings on my electric acoustic guitar have finally calmed down. The strings have become accustomed to the guitar and I no longer hear any squeaks. Do not you think so? 

I chose this song because it's one of the songs I always play when tuning my guitar. Just set the capo on the 7th fret and play a simple chord like D, G, A7 or D, G, E and you're done. I'm a beginner when it comes to nylon string guitars, so this would be the perfect song for me to try out. I would like all of you who are practicing guitar to take this opportunity to master it. Also, I recently learned that this work, one of The Beatles' works, became the most listened to song of The Beatles' works on Spotify in 2021. It's a work that is popular all over the world. 

This is George Harrison's work. I hope that the serious wars and conflicts currently occurring will end as soon as possible. And, as George Harrison sings in this work, I hope that the day will come soon when we can all sing, `

Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

When I listened to the recorded version myself, I was surprised at how simple it was, with no drums or bass, just a nylon string guitar solo. Should I play it again later with a pick and re-record it, or should I play it very slowly and re-record it, or should I change the position of the capo tasto and change the key of the performance? I had a lot of hesitation, but I decided to leave it as is, thinking that this was a record of me practicing to get used to playing the nylon string guitar and sharing it with you all. In other words, rather than getting confused at this stage, if you could sing along with this recording out loud, the weakness of this recording being too simple and lonely would be quickly overcome. I realized that it would be better to move on to the next step as soon as possible. So, I started thinking that my next step would be to try playing this nylon string guitar along with someone's amazing vocals on SoundCloud.

LYRICS:
Girlfriend what we doin tonight
I have a hankerin for karaoke, cowboy-oke-in time
The Wild Beaver is callin my name so I’m callin the guys
Paintin on my jeans, liner smokin my eyes
So what you say, girl come on

Nah
I’m gonna hang with my dog
Walk on down to the pond
Throw the ball round that old oak tree
Rollin downhill, just she and me
Cuddlin up, fireplace on
It’s Friday night with my dog
We might even fry some bacon, post some selfies that we’re takin
Tell the boys I’ll be there next week around nine
I got plans with a very special canine

Girlfriend have you lost your damn mind
Gonna miss our favorite happy hour, jump in the shower, and jump in line
I know you’ve been through hell and back, time to drink n get loud
Slide on our boots, we can kick it on out
So tell me again, why you dissin me

Now don’t take it personal
[CHORUS]

[Instrumental Bridge]

Well now, actually that sounds like a lot more fun
Let me change into an old shirt, pick up a pizza and some cabernet savigno-UN

And then we’ll hang with the dog
Walk on down to the pond
A yellow ribbon round that old oak tree 
The same one as when we were thirteen
Cuddlin up, fireplace on
It’s Friday night with my dog (and BFF)
We’ll need to fry more bacon, makin a memory
On Friday night with my dog

Friday night with my dog…
(seriously, Lassie?!?… I got Kleenex… ugh… well pull my boots off n pass the popcorn… that’s Maggie’s popcorn… of course it is)

Nothin better
Than Friday night with my dog

Friday Night with My Dog

Hard To Communicate

Hard To Communicate -with AnandaTuk

I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Para Que Tú Me Oigas"" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Para Que Tú Me Oigas (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Para que tú me oigas mis palabras
se adelgazan a veces
como las huellas de las gaviotas en las playas.
                                                                                                                                  Y las miro lejanas mis palabras.
Más que mías son tuyas.
Van trepando en mi viejo dolor como las yedras..                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                            Ahora quiero que digan lo que quiero decirte                                                                                              para que tú me oigas cómo quiero que me oigas. 

Llanto de viejas bocas, sangre de viejas súplicas.                                                                              Ámame compañera. No me abandones. Sígueme.                                                                           Sígueme, compañera, en esa ola de angustia. 

Pero se van tiñendo con tu amor mis palabras.                                                                                       Todo lo ocupas tú, todo lo ocupas. 

So that You will hear Me (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)                                                                                          

So that you will hear me
my words
Sometimes grow thin
As the tracks of the gulls on the beaches. 
And I watch my words from a long way off.                                                                                           They are more yours than mine.                                                                         They climb on my old suffering like ivy. 
Now I want them to say what I want to say to you                                                                                      to make you hear as I want you to hear me.

Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications.                                                                                             Love me, companion. Don’t forsake me. Follow me.                                                                                      Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish. 

But my words become stained with your love.                                                                                                     You occupy everything, you occupy everything.

Para Que Tú Me Oigas

   A song that rocked my late teens; I've always loved the lyrics, the "Kenloachian" video, Jimmy Somerville's voice and the melody, but much less the synthetic arrangements and 80s production. It's a world far removed from our own, so we've freely reinterpreted the song in our own way...

 Une chanson qui a bercé ma fin d'adolescence ; j'ai toujours aimé les paroles, le clip "Kenloachien", la voix de Jimmy Somerville et la mélodie, mais beaucoup moins les arrangements synthétiques et la production des années 80. C'est un monde très éloigné du nôtre,  nous avons donc librement réinterprété la chanson à notre façon...

I have written mostly celtic-Christian music for my stage production: www.monarchplays.com. Irish music melts my heart, but I also write pop, country and R&B. I am a graduate of Belmont U in Nashville (1991), so I have an appreciation of all genres from all decades of commercial music.
