This Little Light Of Mine

Usher Valse by Nikita Koshkin

Campers  

My parents were campers, we wandered around
We washed in the river and slept on the ground
With a kerosine lantern to see by at night 
And aluminum cups full of Crystal Delight

They’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it was not about nothing
It was more than a signature style

I gave him a hundred, which was all that I got
I fired her up and I drove off the lot
She was painted by hand, but tipping the scales
Was a sticker that showed my concern for the whales

She’s all gone forever after only awhile
To me she was not about nothing
She was more than a signature style

My mind is in order my soul is inspired
In robe and in sandals I’m simply attired
And I live in this place with these brothers of mine
Where we think, and we pray, and we fast all the time

Till we’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it is not about nothing
It’s more than a signature style

Campers

Lyrics;
He's got some battle scars
From walking on this earth
More or less he'd earned them all
Whatever that is worth

He's not the man he used to be
He stands in thinner skin
Worn down from the grindstone
And the world he once lived in

Experience had left a mark
Lighting up a world so dark
No more running blindly
Full speed ahead

Cut up, bruised and battered
So many dreams get shattered
From foolish things that he once did
Foolish things that he once said

He's got some battle scars
From living day to day
The price of going on his own
When he didn't know the way

On full display for all to see
Like medals from his private wars
The breaks the nicks the broken heart
Yeah, he's got some battle scars

Experience had left a mark
Lighting up a world so dark
No more running blindly
Full speed ahead

Cut up, bruised and battered
So many dreams left shattered
From foolish things he once believed
Foolish things that he once said

Battle Scars

A quiet, deserted town where the wind blows through.

Empty City（誰もいない街）

En hommage à Socrate et Villon
 En vieux français " fors que moi-même" = "hormis moi-même", "sauf moi-même"
PAROLES
Je connais l’arbre à son feuillage
 Je connais l’homme à son visage
De l’amour je connais la chanson
J’en connais la trame et la chaîne
Comme le disait si bien Villon
 Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

De la mer je connais le sel
 De la terre je connais le ciel
Je connais l’or des saisons
Et celui, serti, des poèmes
Comme le disait si bien Villon
 Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

De Socrate je connais la science
 J’en connais la sage ignorance
 De la vérité la passion
Et d’Aristote les enthymèmes
  Comme le disait si bien Villon
Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

Jetons qui sonnent et qui trébuchent
 J’en connais l’odeur et l’embûche
Et tous ces nouveaux Harpagon
Qui croient posséder ceux qu’ils aiment
 Comme le disait si bien Villon
 Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.


Du lilas je connais la fleur
 De l’arc-en-ciel les couleurs
La Voute ouverte à l’horizon
 Eclairant nos faces de carême
Comme le disait si bien Villon
 Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

Je connais les parfums d’Orient
Et sais aux îles Sous-le-Vent
Mille sanctuaires aux poissons
 Je connais le chant des Sirènes
 Comme le disait si bien Villon
 Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

Je connais l’enfant à la source
 De la vie je connais la course
 De la mort ? Non, sans façon,
 A peine n’en connais-je le terme
 Comme le dit si bien Villon
Je connais tout, fors que moi-même.

Du monde même connais la ruine
Je sais les menaces qui minent
Toute sa beauté par effraction
Autant le dire, pour ta gouverne,
 N’est-ce pas parce que, comme dit Villon
 Je connais tout, fort que moi-même ?

A Villon

Updated mix of the opening track of the second of three album projects in the works:

Swirling in the sun
Did you dream the starling again?
The many and the one
Soaring like a starling again
You hear the haunting sound, look around
Will you be the starling again?

Join the chorus, sing along
That murmuration song

You hear the cries
And you are a starling again
Ride the rhythm of the skies
Will you dance the starling again?

In a chorus, a symphony
A canticle

Oh I don't know why
You are so shy today
You don't know when
It will come again your way

The isolation fades
And you are a starling again
Down the desolation days
Fly like a starling again
The madness, the rage, turn the page
Oh you are a starling again

Join the chorus, sing along
That murmuration song

I don't know why
You try to hide away
Who can say when
It may come again your way?
Look to the skies
Starlings will rise today

Bass and backing vocals - Mark Hervey
Piano - Tim Lang

Starlings

I am a great admirer of Jonathan's work and when he approached me with this wonderful piece of music asking if I might have a go at lyrics and a vocal I felt really privileged. I wanted to try to do as good a job as I could, but initially I struggled, and then, feeling extremely despondent I took a break from it. On my second attempt I think I started to listen properly to what the music was saying – rather than imposing too much of myself on it – and I  began to get melodies and word patterns that seemed like they were there under the surface already.

This has been an amazing project to work on, and Jonathan has been hugely supportive throughout. I've done my bit for sure, but it would have been nothing without the music.

Jonathan's posting of the song is here:

Last night I dreamed that I could play the guitar
I was on The Titanic trying to sing
My heart will still go on
But I kept getting it wrong and
I couldn't get the high notes but
At least we hadn't hit the iceberg yet and

All the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try

I was studying Kate Winslet
She was standing by a ventilation inlet
In a girly dress despite the cold and
I could see that she was not impressed
By my extraordinary rendition
I said you're looking nice and
I need relationship advice and she replied
Let's take a walk on the starboard side

And the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
When life's too flattering too sweet
We all like to pretend
But we all know how it ends

We're listing to port and
Kate's politely listening as
I'm listing all the things I should have said to you but
Never did
And realistically I think she's thinking
Less about you and me and
Rather more about the fact that
We've all started sinking yeah
Into the unforgiving sea oh

But the stars above us shone...

We All Know How It Ends (Wheelwright + Beckenstein)

Amateur de musique, de philosophie, de poésie, je n 'ai pas d'autre culte que l'amitié. J'aime écrire et mettre en musique, j'aime mélanger les genres, et mon piano aux boucles pour étoffer l'un, vivifier les autres, les déranger parfois. La musique ne connaît pas de barrière, sauf de corail!

ma musique est également publiée sur bandcamp avec comme nom d'artiste : semellesdevent
