Submarines (2022)

Music, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production by Harlan J. Brothers

Lyrics:

What would I do
If I had an hour
To brighten the darkness we see?
How would I act
If I had the power
To change the powers that be?

If I were a magician
The first thing I’d do is stop the race
I’d wave my little finger and
Sweet smiles would appear on sour faces
If I were a magician
Each day we’d have to try on something new
We’d bounce out of bed each morning and
Snap on a brand new point of view
If I were a magician
I'd change all the rules of the game
The good guys would finish sooner and
The tortoise and hare would share the fame

What charm could I say
That would burst with flowers
And set every broken heart free?
What could I do
If I had the power
To change the powers that be?

If I were a magician
We’d never have to spend another dime
‘Cause everything would be paid for with
A song or a dance or a silly rhyme
If I were a magician
A nap would feel just like a full night’s rest
And we wouldn’t need to save stuff ‘cause
The first and the last would both be best
If I were a magician
We’d have nothing to lose and all to gain
We’d visit exotic places and
Fly ‘round the world without an airplane
If only I were a magician
There'd never be another lonely night
‘Cause I’d mix moonlight and stardust and
A prince would appear to hold you tight
If I were a magician
We’d stay young and never need the Doc
‘Cause I’d conjure-up a potion and
Just one single sip would stop the clock

BC1266 An Interview With John Coltrane By Frank Kofsky

In the fall of 1966, John Coltrane was living on Long Island. He had a modest house on a quiet, tree-lined street with his wife Alice, and their children. One afternoon, Frank Kofsky took the train out to interview Coltrane. Coltrane picked him up at the station. They drove around town. They stopped to talk. Here’s the tape from the Pacifica Radio Archives.

Lyrics:

She walks alone
In a crowded port by the sea
Shopping for a gift for me

Across the bay
A steeple bell starts to sway
It chimes three times to mark midday

She hears, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

She turns around
Heads back through town
Humming quietly
What has she gotten for me?

The moon arises
Lapa comes alive
A sea of souls and samba floods the night

Against the tide
We work our way inside
To drink and dance and hold each other tight

She bends, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

Teresa’s heights
Mountain lights
Silent, flickering
She whispers delicately
The present is waiting for me

About me:

I grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Raised on classic rock 'n' roll, I was exposed to symphonic music, opera, and show music at an early age. I learned about world music as a teenager while traveling and performing in Senegal.

I began composing in high school and majored in composition at the Berklee College of Music.  I quickly fell in love with Bossa Nova.  After leaving Berklee, I studied jazz guitar with Jimmy Ponder, worked doing transcriptions for Emile Charlap, and writing jingles. I later took guitar lessons with Jack Wilkins, Peter Leitch, and Joshua Breakstone.

For 6 years, I performed and recorded with Sonido, the 12-piece Latin jazz & salsa group I co-founded with conguero Jeff Albert. I also performed with Elizabeth Meeker's 6-piece Latin combo, Dulcerito, and recorded the CD "Roots" with the Silas Meredith Band.

I compose and arrange, and am well versed in many styles including jazz, rock, pop, dance, Brazilian, classical, and world music. I also compose algorithmic and fractal music.

The songs showcased here are primarily demos for artists interested in performing or recording them and for those seeking original music for film and television.
