LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

TAKE YOUR TIME AND SAY,
LOOK AROUND, AND ABOVE,
IT'S ALL HERE TO STAY,
IT'S ALL YOUR'S, IT'S ALL MINE,

(chorus)
SOMEDAY
WE MIGHT DANCE TOGETHER
AND LIVE, IN A LIFE OF LAW
SOMEDAY
THIS COULD LAST FOREVER,
AND LEAVE, THIS WORLD ALONE

SO TAKE A LOOK AHEAD
MAY'BE YOUR, NOT TO SURE,
THE CALL TO STAND THE LINE,
TO SAY GOODBYE, NEVER COMING BACK,

THE HERO IS STILL TO BE,
IN OUR LIVES, TO MAKE US FREE
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS AND
SAY GOODBYE, TO ALL THE GREED,

(BREAK)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOMEDAY, LEAVE THIS WORLD ALONE.

SOMEDAY

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

MAY'BE WE'LL FALL
WHEN I SEE YOU ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
I'M CHASING STARS
CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE GONE THIS FAR

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE

UP IN THE AIR
BREATHING IN THE APMOSPHERE
MY TIME HAS COME
CAN'T SEE MY WAY BACK HOME

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU......

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN CALLING MY NAME
GUESS YOU'VE HEARD THIS SLOGAN BEFORE

TAKE GOOD CARE
'YOU KNOW' I MIGHT JUST SEE YOU THERE
BUT IT'S SO FAR
THE DAY'S IN LIFE ARE GETTING SHORT

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE

ALL ALONE (see info for video link)

This is the second part of the Mysteries journey initiated with the song „https://soundcloud.com/nobsmeyer/mysteries“. It is not a necessity to listen this one first, but you will definitely miss the first part, where Special Cecilia is opening the door for this journey. 
This second part goes:
After mankind had continued with exhausting the whole planet, the last survivors managed to start the spaceship, which had been built for the mission to Saturn. To get there, they must find the entry to the wormhole and get through an asteroid field. The first part of the travel is dangerous and nearly too fast for the individuals. After they have passed the asteroid belt, the boundaries of space and time disappear ...

my inner is staring in the fireplace
come around and keep me from myself

i know you'll never let me down
and i don't know my way around here
because i wade through a surreal dream

and in my head
a band is playing a sweet melody
you are dancing like a fairy
to the sound of our destiny

can you spot me in my fairytale
let's walk the paths of our fate

don't realize what's going around
i have to reach higher ground
because i wade through a surreal dream

and in my head
a band is playing a sweet melody
you are dancing like a fairy
on the carousel of our destiny

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND

Summer Tune

Hemos preguntado cómo vivir
pero la vida no tiene ni puta idea
Hemos preguntado cómo saltar
pero la Mar no me sabe contestar

Hemos empezado a quemar la red
Las calles también pueden arder

Hemos esperado a que todo vaya bien
la ciudad solo arde en verano
Han empezado a construir ahí
donde soliamos ir..

Hemos empezado a quemar la red
Las calles también pueden arder

Resbala el agua, que traes en tus ojos
de pena y rabia, porque el mundo está loco..
LAS CALLES TAMBIÉN PUEDEN ARDER!!

QUEMAR LA RED

Mon miroir

Plane lisse surface
sans couleur rien ne t'efface
impassible indifférent
tu as le temps tu m'attends

tes airs profonds illusoirs
troisième dimension de foire
ne sont que des reflets sans vie
des jeux de lumière d'asphyxie.

Mon ami du soir mon miroir
de mon minois momie noire
le reflet me jette à la face
sans tact restant de glace.

Mon ami du soir mon miroir
de mon minois momie noire
le reflet me jette à la face
sans tact restant de glace.

Porte en trompe-l'œil ouverte
sur les images à toi offertes
triste copieur de génie
œil damné frappé d'insomnies

sur tes "pas laid" le goût du luxe
sur ta peau ces mots : "j'accuse
sans excuse tes traits disgracieux
tes rides tes cernes sous les yeux.

Mon ami du soir mon miroir
de mon minois momie noire
le reflet me jette à la face
sans tact restant de glace.

Mon ami noir toi mon miroir
condamne mes masques dérisoires
aux éclats se rit de moi
cruement sans émoi.

Mon ennemi du soir mon miroir
ton juste ton unique regard
immuable ni beau ni laid
me dit : "tes rêves de beau renie-les !".

lyrics:
I wish there was an easy way
but easy would not teach me
notice the poison
negativity is contagious

so many things that went wrong
so many things I tried but went wrong
the world is upside down
no one feels really fine
so I'm looking for a way

how can I make a difference
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of our kind
can I clean all the mess we have left behind
can I heal and bless my feelings
my feelings are loosing me

I'm thinking too much
cauz nothing really matter
if I'm still breathing
my feelings are hurting
but it's a divine compass
that helps me to get on the right path

how can I break the habits
those that lead me to pain
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of my life
can I ease my nervous sensitivity
need to clean away this boring ambiant negativity

I want to see the change
I want to be the change
I want to see a change
cause it's at hand
and I have enough of my shit
want a change
cauze I have enough of our shit

Lyrics

Verse 1
The demons inside your head, they're on fire
It's making it hard to fake your smile
you're cool on love, it's breaking you down
it's a simple life, in this heartbreak town 

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Verse 2
You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time
It's making it hard to fake your smile

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Drive time

Lyrics:
I'm working overtime
With my sheer force of will
I've got to live my life
Live it to the hilt
I've been blown off course
But now I'm pulling from a deeper source (yeah!)
I've had a deeper shade of the blues

I could wait for the psychic wall to fall
I could pull off a Diamond Store money haul
I could fly like  the rarest bird in flight
But still, come home to your birdcage
Every night

It's all pre-arranged
I'm standing here, post-deranged
I've got the scars, from the Bars, the Divorce
I've been blown off course
You've got to go where you think it is
You've got to live it up
See where you go
The Devil's in the details

I could wait for the psychic wall to fall
I could spend all my money on
Dollar Store Pall Mall's
I could be the rarest bird in flight
And still, come home to the security of your birdcage
Every night!

Rarest Bird

"One more for my baby, one more for the road..."

Hey Mr. Bartender, have mercy on me
Don't throw us out into the cold
Of the night
Don't send us out into the human world
Have  mercy on me
I'd shake and shiver outside this bar
With old friends and acquaintances 
Pheromones and the fragrances 
Mr. Bartender, have mercy on me
I've got all my friends here
But I want some more, I want to add them 
To my collection of
Strange people I've known
She understands me at a level most people can't even comprehend 
Mr. Bartender, have  mercy on me
Don't throw  us out into the cold
Of the night 
Into the human world
Mr Bartender
Have some mercy on me
I've succumbed to the fun
I buy drinks for all my friends
I think I'm losing weight
I feel about 90 dollars lighter
Then when I came in
We could help you close up 
I know it's closing time
Don't put on the lights
Is it time?
Mr. Bartender, have mercy on me
Don't throw us out into the night...

Mr Bartender, Have Mercy On Me Blues

This song first entered my mind while I was comparing translations of the poetry of the remarkable Song dynasty poet Li Qingzhao.

	The attraction I have to Li Qingzhao's work is twofold - firstly: the sheer power of her expression, which speaks to me through each and every translation (some translations being so different that I often fail to recognize them as being the same poem) - secondly: her “Ci” poetry, is, for all practical purposes, songwriting.   “Ci” poetry began as lyrics to be sung to tunes both popular and original, not unlike the “12 bar blues” or “rock and roll” songs of the modern world.

	The imagery used in this song largely comes from her Ci poem “Banana Trees”, but should in no way be thought of as a translation - I do not pretend to have that kind of scholarship or talent.   It is, at best, a re-working of theme and image for a contemporary context.

	I do not know the original source of the cover art I have used here, but I found it at http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/en-us/articles/li-qingzhao/.   There are no extent images of Li Qinqzhao from her own time.

Lyrics:
        looking from our door, I see the poplars that we planted
	their green shadows fill the lawn
	their green shadows fill the lawn, leaves a-flutter in the breeze,
	in the quiet of the moment, they seem to share my thoughts

	they seem to share my thoughts, I recall a last farewell
	at the gateway of our home
	at the gateway of our home I listen to the sound, 
	in the quiet of the moment, to the rustling of leaves

	the rustling of leaves, a sound you’ll never hear again
	it breaks my heart
	it breaks my heart we can no longer share our thoughts,
	in the quiet of the moment, looking from our door

Looking from Our Door

Amputation

Thinking back to a field of flowers
Smiling through a field of dreams
And you the breath of summer breezes
You the taste of mountain streams

But now the fields are full of graves
Cause war it came and you had fled
And me I lay in wheels’ tracks
Would I just be left for dead

Before my eyes wilting flowers
And I felt amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

Leave the window half ajar
Let the sun light trickle through
Swathed in cloth of bandages
All I do is think of you

Every now and then I dose
And for a while I’m there with you
Rolling in the verdant grasses
Basking in the love of you

It’s end of life it’s wilting flowers
I fell then amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

Lyrics
Verse 1
If I could see
all the things that waited for you and me
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand
for you...

Chorus 1
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it tick away....

Verse 2
If I could see 
through the shadows of life
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand 
for you...

Bridge
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

Chorus 2
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it slip away....

Uh oh, somebody's been listening to Supertramp!

Lyrics:
Going back to those good old, bad old days
I'd come over to your place
We'd drink some wine (all afternoon!)
The good old, bad old days
That's how I live my life
Stumbling through onto another day
When she turned to me and say 
With a smile
When you make love (3X)

Chorus: It's all feel
All feel and no technique
That's how I live my life

I was making music, strumming my 6 string
It brings me joy
I follow my bliss ( just like this!)
And if you hear me sing
If you hear me sing (2X)
It's with all feel...
(Chorus)
I might sleep over at the beach
I might stay over at your place
That's how I live my life
It's how I like to do my thing
(Chorus)
All feel and no technique

========== Lyrics ==========

Out in the field, at night
I find myself twirling out of space
It’s like a dream, it seems...

There comes times where I don’t really care
About what goes on around 

All I hear is my boom box going hard
Out over here, nobody seems to notice us
At times I may have my own reasons
But never will I turn you my back 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Out in the field, we dance endlessly 
Out over here where you can see the city
We don’t dwell into tomorrow’s worries
We live for now and glorious memories 

We don’t mind, we don’t mind nothing 

We are at our rhythm 
We don’t care about your competition 
Nothing sane in soulless repetition 

We’re alright, we go our ways
We stumble down just to build up 
Taking hold of us again

Our Ways

Our Ways (ft. Janelle)

synchronized war

Some people carry around a secret, a carefully buried basic feeling or a wish that is locked away deep in the abyss of their soul. Often it is only when death is already in the doorway that they can bring up and communicate what has been hidden for so long.  
This is also what happened in this true story, in which a man can only tell his wife how he really feels about her just before he dies of cancer. 

Lyrics in English:

The Last Words

I'm lying here in hospice
Eaten up by cancer

I'm at stage four
I'm about to be killed 
Can't see anything more

My body fully tattooed
Now as skeletonized
My fitness-treated muscles

Mercilessly pureed 
I've never felt so strong
Yeah, I must be losing myself as a hero   

You sit at the edge of the bed
Swimming in a sea of tears
Yes this softness is incredibly difficult for me

You cried for me
Rhymed the most beautiful funeral poems for me
Lived for me the pain
With noble dignity

I'm stuck in a tank dress
Even in the deepest suffering
Can't I tell you how I feel

Fuck!
I'm a John Wayne idiot

I'm as good as dead
And it wants out
I push, cramp, swallow:
I love you

Don't look at me like that
I really mean it

There is no more repetition
I just die now
Please let me go

Somewhere in the next life
Let's meet for a beer
I promise you that
But please stay for a very long time- 

There!
Get the fuck out of here
I'm already dead in my grave

Cancer has won
Got me down

OKAY
No more fighting

I'm leaving now ahead of schedule
Cancer has freed me
Come black brother, take me with you
Wherever to go

Deutscher Originaltext:

Die letzten Worte

Lieg` hier im Hospiz
Vom Krebs zerfressen

Bin im Stadium 4
Gleich ist`s um mich geschehen 
Kann nichts mehr sehen

Mein Körper voll tätowiert
Nun wie skelettiert
Meine Fitness-gestählten Muckies

Gnadenlos püriert
Hab`mich noch nie so stark gespürt
Ja muß mich wohl als Held verlier`n

Du sitzt am Bettrand
Schwimmst im Tränenmeer
Ja dieses Weiche fällt mir unglaublich schwer

Hast für mich geweint
Die schönsten Trauergedichte gereimt
Lebtest für mich den Schmerz
Mit edler Würde

Steck´ im Panzerkleid
Selbst im tiefsten Leid
Kann ich Dir nicht sagen, was ich fühle

Fuck!
Bin ein John-Wayne-Idiot!

Bin so gut wie tot
Und es will heraus

Ich presse, krampfe, schlucke:
Ich liebe Dich

Schau`mich nicht so an
Ja das mein` ich wirklich

Ein nochmal gibts nicht mehr
Ich sterb` jetzt einfach
Lass` mich bitte gehen

Irgendwo im nächsten Leben
Treffen wir uns mal auf`n Bier

Das versprech` ich Dir
Doch bitte bleib` jetzt noch ganz lange – 

Hier!
Hau jetzt endlich ab
Lieg` schon tot im Grab

Der Krebs hat gesiegt
Hat mich untergekriegt

O.K.
Kein Kämpfen mehr

Geh` jetzt vor der Zeit
Der Krebs hat mich befreit

Komm nimm mich schwarzer Bruder
Egal wohin

Die Letzten Worte (The Last Words)

Die Letzten Worte (The Last Words) (Engl. Lyrics In The Intro)

This song is about a dear cat boy who came to us last year on a rainy day.

Russell and I batted this tune back and forth for a long time and ended up landing on this very simple arrangement, with talented offspring Alex helping out on double bass.  Thank you Sinfields!!

Oliver                   

I loved you from the moment you arrived
It was raining hard 
And it was cold outside
And we were waiting for the sun

Oh yonder blue that you had never seen
The yellow sparkle on the evergreens
We were waiting for the sun

Oliver, impatiently
We watch the sky       
And breathe in time
And we wait for the sun to shine

I loved you from the moment that you came
Twas the barest moment of the tend’rest day
And we waited on the rays

Oliver, Impatiently
We watch the sky   
And pass the time
And we want very much to go outside 

Climb, the limbs are sturdy 
watch the birds, feel the breeze
There are ripples on the fish pond
Feel the grass under your feet

Oliver, impatiently
We watch the sky        
And pass the time
And we wait for the sun to shine

Neli CoKo - Romantic Nightmare

Soundtrack from my imaginary David Lynch Film Noir movie...

Lyrics:
She's like the Emperor's Diamond
Nickled and dimed
Cut and polished and shined
Until she is beyond all recognition 
I do my work at night
Investigating the high-rise mysterious falls
And mysterious wire transfers
There ain't enough for us all

Flesh on bone
I want to see where the magic goes
Flesh on bone
I know where I'm stealing from
C'mon, drink up all you dreamers
Flesh on bone
I want to know where all the magic goes

She was a failed Ballerina 
Selling pirouette's on the side
At a  house at the end of the street
Down the alleyway (I'm looking for clues)
Exhausted from another day of
Soul bearing

Flesh on Bone
I want to know where the magic goes
Flesh on bone
I know where I am stealing from (do you?)
A Hollywood Duplex/The alleyway
Dream up all you drinkers
Looking for clues in the nighttime
Drink up all you dreamers (the bar is about to close)
Flesh on bone

The mysterious High Rise fall...

Flesh On Bone

Thanks Lizzie & Annette!

========== Lyrics ==========

Never knew the pain that was in you
Never knew just how you stung
But never felt that the time here was wasted
On our magic rides in the Sun, Oh Yeah

Sending you sweet flowers
That were grown from your seeds

Oh let the love flow freely
As the light increases with the days

Ahhhhhh........Oooooooh

Now I know the things you wanted
And the things you just accept
Even when the love was sinking
You could always count them less, Oh yeah

Sending you sweet flowers
That were grown from your seeds

Never knew the pain that was in you baby, yeah
Never knew just how you stung
But never felt the time here was wasted
On our magic rides in the Sun

Never knew the pain that was in you, baby
Never knew just how you stung
Let the love, let the love, let the love
Flow freely through your door
As the light increases with the days

A tribute to the family pet or a bad lover song?

Lyrics:
I'm your dirty, dirty dog
I've been out running in the neighborhood
I've been sniffing around
Digging under your fence
Cause I'm your dirty, dirty dog
And you're pleased to see me every single time
I sit around like your unemployed roommate
You take pictures of me, you like say that I'm "smiling"
But I don't really give a damn
I'm your dirty, dirty, dirty dog
Sniffing around...Dirty
Dirty, dirty dog

You're pleased to see me every single time
I'm  rolling around in the dirt
I'm sleeping in your bed. (Yeah, that's what I said!)
I'm your dirty dog
Your dirty dog!
I tore down your curtains
I caused the odor in your Toyota
I'm your dirty, dirty dog
You're pleased to see me every  time you come home
Dirty dog

Dirty Dog

these gestures 
of attraction
in blissful interaction
constant original 
of all that i adore
whose gestures 
are inexhaustible
i'm gonna run
till the power comes
around my love
gestures
a gesture so divine

About this song

A new collaboration with friends N.o.b.s. (bass)and Ken Minty (vocal, steel guitar).
Hoping for your pleasant listening, see you soon!


Lyrics by Ken:

Shadows lightly dance at night
a darkling dance in moonlit night
love’s unlikely lunacy blooms and withers ceaselessly
shadows dancing to a moonlight beat
grasping with our callous hands
we reach for those magic lands of romance
blinded by the light of day we fail to see the sunlit way
we only know that moonlight shadows play
promises, in darkness, are paid
by dancers who have played love’s games
gardens grow by the light of the moon
but moonlight flowers bloom so soon then they’re gone
moonlight shadows are gone

From the moment I heard the first notes of Dean Massicotte's stunning guitar composition 'Into the sun', I was blown away. I was so pleased that Dean graciously allowed me to add some vocals. For me, his music inspires a sense of optimism and positivity. Have a listen to his amazing work -

Lyrics

Verse 1
He's a mystery man
He's got the cure in his hands
For love, For Hate, and Disease...

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?

Verse 2
He's a mystery man
He's got the numbers in his hands
For Life, For you and me....

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?

Bridge
Bass riff...

Verse 3
He's a mystery man
He plays guitar in a rock band
For Love, For Life, For Peace

Chorus
Looking back on life
Should have died a thousand times
Looking back on life
What the hell am I doing here?


outro

Should have died a thousand times

looking back

Life's number

it was good for awhile
but that was long ago
now it's black and vile
this dog and pony show
we know it's over

birds fall from the sky
mountain climbers fly

we know it's over
we know it's done

quarantine #5

they made me write this down in a long letter/to say if i would ever again feel better/but i'm underground and there's no sound/i don't think that i'll ever again feel better/I'm underground and there's no sound

Image not my own

I went searching for silence on a noise riddled day,
walked to a wood, on a thicket I lay.
Speckles of blue through canopies of green,
when the tinkling of ivories come calling to me.

There were moments of magic, pulse soaring scores,
 the voice of an angel shook to me to my core.
She said "Don't you just rest there grab your guitar and play,
join me in a melody, forever and a day"

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

I went looking for peace and I found it that day,
the rest is my history believe me when I say.
There's been moments of magic, pimple skin scores,
when the voice of the angel askes me back for more.

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

Well you came to me, helped me breathe, 
gave me something to believe in,
I found my peace, a brand new lease of life.

The cameraman
“The Camera Man” by Three Photons is an indie-blues rock track with strong 60s/70s experimental vibes and gritty, analog production. It blends crunchy rhythm guitars, ambient leads, and emotionally raw lyrics that explore themes of isolation, media distortion, and urban disillusionment.

I imagine a cameraman sees a lot of things he doesn't want to see or believe ;-)

Lyrics

Verse 1
It's a camera eye
I look away
or I go blind
it ain't pretty
livin alone in this dirty city

Chorus 1
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin in the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Verse 2
Hey girl
it ain't pretty
going on down on this empty life
you sure are witty
I can't stand one more lie....

Chorus 2
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me

Outro
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me
Just like Elvis
when he hit his prime, I shoot at the TV
I hate lookin at the camera eye
when you're staring at me
