Lyrics:

I’ll try to take it in stride, there’s something hurting inside, 
It seems I’m gonna have some issues with my heart.
I didn’t sleep well at all, just staring straight through the wall,
Maybe it’s time to turn this feeling into art.
It seems I’m just avoiding looking at the reason
For the shadows floating through this head,
You know it’s obvious we’re in the rainy season
And we’re getting closer to the watershed.

I know you’re leaving us soon, I hope you make it through June
Or even all the humid days that summer brings,
We’ll take them one at a time, treat every one as sublime,
Try to distract ourselves from mulling darker things,
Looking for clues to the spread of the bruise
That is creeping from your tongue to your toe,
Will only funnel me into a deeper tunnel
Than the one that I already know.

Oh…oh close to the watershed,
Oh…  focus on the light ahead,
Flowing down the mountain on the other side,
Shining down in rivers that arise in the great divide.

I know I’m vaguely unwell, an ache I need to expel,
Is there a medicine to smile this pain away?
I see a colourless face, it feels it looks out of place,
As it attempts to make arrangements with the day.
You see I’m just avoiding looking at the reason
For the trouble floating ‘round in my head,
Soaked to the bone because we’re in the rainy season
And the clouds are thick around the watershed.

Oh…oh close to the watershed
Oh…  focus on the light ahead
Flowing down the mountain on the other side
Shining down in rivers that arise in the great divide.
Ohhh…

I never really cared for the finished product i posted last week, it never really sounded right. I loved the Roy Bittan style piano, and that took a long time to learn and record, but it didn't work so i scrapped it for the fender organ that i played on the fly. And I transposed it up a third, and reworked the words and completely remixed it.  I think it works a lot better now.. 

I don’t want to be the one you call up on the telephone
To see if I could come around ‘cause you don’t wanna be alone
Don’t get me wrong I want to spend some time with you
Don’t get me wrong but do you feel the same for me I feel for you
I don’t want to be the one that’s always looking in your eyes
Then you turn lights down low
And suddenly I’m paralyzed
It makes my heart start to stutter my knees they shake
and my words they flutter
I don’t want to be the one that ends up feeling like a fool, 
I don’t want to be the one when love has faded and we’re through
Love’s so overrated, it makes your life so complicated

I Don't Want To Be The One (Redux)

I recall I wrote most of the melody of this song inside my head while travelling and on some pre-written lyrics.  However when I got down to the singing, I couldn't cope with some of the notes.  I'm so glad Terry came to the rescue and did a marvelous job here.    He also brought some very nice tweaks to the melody, lyrics & harmony arrangement.  Hope you like our collaboration.

[LYRICS]
Skies, inconsistent skies, bring uncertainty
Rain, incessant rain, keeps on pouring...(pouring down)
Hopes, elusive hopes,
Only keep us dreaming
Endless waiting is the saddest place to be

Oh I have tried so many times to do the best I can
Somehow it doesn't seem to matter at all
I ask myself what I'm gonna do when all's been done and fallen through
Now I'm standing with my back to the wall

(Chorus)
Life, everyday sort of life,
Living everyday through the rain and shine
World, this ruthless world,
Keeps on spinnin' in time
Empty days, and rocky ways,
Far too many for us to face
It's been one of ….......
It's been one of…........
It's been one of those days
It's been one of those days

Instrumental break

Repeat Chorus

It's been one of, it's been one of….
It's been one of those days

One Of Those Days (featuring Terry Wigmore)

Written August 2022.  She really does love the rain.


She Loves The Rain


Oh she loves the rain 
She stands in bare feet
How she loves the rain 
She runs into the street 
Let it soak her 
That heavy downpour 
It’s no joke, it’s what 
She’s renown for 

She doesn’t like humidity 
She prefers to keep cool 
Feel the raindrops on her skin 
She doesn’t need validity 
To jump in the pools 
Where the water’s gathering 

I love her in the rain 
That wettens her hair 
As showers fall again 
I’ll follow her there 
Of all the raindrops 
I know which I’d be 
One billion raindrops 
Those ones are lucky 

That splash into her hands 
And onto her cheek 
The ones she catches on her tongue 
Not the ones that quench the land 
Nor fill up the creek 
Nor make rainbows with the sun 

Of all the raindrops that must have fallen 
In darkening blooms on paving stones 
Or pointlessly into the ocean deep 
Or dripping from the eyelashes
Of rain lashed North Sea fishermen 
Or hiding lonely tears when someone weeps

Not swished by windscreen wipers 
From cars speeding towards maternity wards
Or bouncing down from leaf to heavy leaf
Or running in silver rivers
Down umbrellas held over elderly lovers 
When they kiss as if they’re teenagers beneath 

What I’d be is those that fall down upon her feet 

Oh she loves the rain

Brand new album, 'Mythologies' out now! CD available here: https://www.hoanzl.at/mythologies.html

'Baudelairean flights through dimly lit urban landscapes 'round midnight... Ballads alluding to Ovid, Homer and Solomon... Lovers wrapt in the sultry bliss of a sunny summer morn... Wine, witchcraft, temptation… The quest for voices to trust amidst a world corrupt… These themes and motifs all weave into Herald K's oeuvre… Come in and eavesdrop...'
