SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

Ontario has opened up to stage 3. Just about everything is open, now, albeit with masks and safely social distanced.  So, in celebration of beating the Covid curve, at least it seems that we have, we offer this summer tune to celebrate. A return to summer, in the new normal :)

This was a different tune for us. We were striving for a pop sound in the Adult Contemporary area, and this seemed to fit the bill. Keith grabbed some fine lyrics and sang them like one of his canaries. This has a warm, summery sound, to my ears, sweet harmonies, and a lightness of step that makes me simply feel good and tap my toes. I'd say it makes me fee like getting up and dancing, but that is not what I call what I do...sway maybe...and that was good enough for me :)

MIMOSA : Lyrics:
And there she stood, all alone, by the window 
A trick of the light, of the day, just the shadow 
Don’t try apologise for staring at whatever lies within 
Hey Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet? 
Dark as earth, heavy air, damp as morning dew 
A villa of cream, strawberries growing on the cliffside 
It’s hot as Hell, It’s something else as well, it’s all part of her 

Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so… Aaaah…Aaaah… 
Let the sunlight shine x4 (Inst) 
Oh my sweet Mimosa…
Oh my sweet Mimosa… 
Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet x2 

Flash of light, a swirl of green, then she drops her leaves 
She turns around, within a beat, and throws her head back 
She’s on the radio, She’s dancing only flamenco tonight…all night
 
Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet 
She takes a drink, and rolls her eyes, in a fun way 
She takes a bath, and shakes the rain off, give it back, give it back, it’s my turn 
She feels the sun, because it makes her burn. 

Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet
Dark as earth, heavy air, damp as morning dew 
A villa of cream, strawberries growing on the cliffside 
It’s hot as Hell, if only looks could tell… if only looks could tell…looks…tell 

Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet 
Oh Mimosa…Why’d ya have to be so sweet

CliffOnAcid & Steph Sweet - One Second (Embodiment EP 2020)

Written from the POV of 8 year old Shade Structure. I had a dream that I had secret powers and a spaceship with an army of kung fu assassins to keep tabs on my school yard bullies.

 Lyrics:
I wish the worst upon my enemies
But, they can't see my secret power
That has been bestowed on me
I found the remedy
The playground wars are never won!

I've got a secret power
And a kung-fu spaceship
I see it all 
I'm a camera eye
I fly around the town
With my cloak of invisibility
But you can't see me now
Did you ever see me then?
Take my spaceship up
Look up into the sky
That's not a plane flying over
Or bird shit in your eye

I've got secret powers
I've got a kung-fu spaceship
I see it all
I'm a camera eye
Take that spaceship up
I take it all over the town
Let it fly...
(Insert: dreamy nighttime spaceship ride visual)

When i get so high
I'm never coming down
I've got a 20-level power up
Backed up by Mother's love
I've got some secret powers
And a kung-fu spaceship
I see it all
I'm a camera eye

When I was younger
 I used to wear a cape around the block
But, I found that it was just giving my game away
And now I ride every night
 Ride (My spaceship)
Kung-fu spaceship
Ride!
Fly!
As high as I can fly...

Kung Fu Spaceship
