Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Not stripped, but certainly not very well dressed, and with a few tweaks.

FOR YESTERDAY

Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good
Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good

Walked to the gate
Not a worry in the sky
Turned to my baby and I waved her goodbye
Saw her through the window
Sweet tear in her eye
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

I picked up the phone
Dialed a memorized number
Told her I love her didn’t talk about the weather
Sat at my desk
Wrote the first of many letters
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good

I went to the bar
Started talking to my neighbor
Nobody thought I was a sicko stranger
Didn’t think twice
I gave my name and number
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good
It was so easy
It was so good

For Yesterday Scantily Clad

Many thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived here on our little globe. Did they have any idea of the future..... and if so what was "future" for them? "Tomorrow, next week, or next year?" Did they even have a word for future? Or was life exclusively about develop and expand the group and getting food for the day? Or did they, too, have other goals and meaning with their lives?

Calm Stream

    I have no words, just thoughts, like these
    Of primal cravings, fears and needs.
    My leathered skin, yet young, seems older
    Browned and cracked I shiver colder
    Depicting beasts muralled large within my cave, 
    Their fatty flesh my empty gut to crave.

    Bursting fires from the frozen mountain thread
    And weave and belch and burn and spit of ochres red.
    The very poison whence my paintbox palette grows
    'Neath the toxic gases twixt congealing lava flows.
    In these extremes we live, but few, the young into
    the perma-sleep will often fall 
    And not so old, our eldest ageing too, follow close
    upon the darkest terror's call.

    Meat and heat is all I need,
    Stone and bone, all I own.
    Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
    Cleanse it in the calming stream.

    Strip the skin, spit the pips,
    Moisturise the burning lips.
    Skin the flesh, strip it clean.
    Cleanse it in the calming stream.

Ancient Man - Seagull & Peter

Lyrics:

Here comes the night to dim out the light
Burn the candle light until the morning comes
Things will be great if we can wait
Till then I sing this song
And hope it won’t be long

The candle flickers bright, giving us sight
As far as we can see, there’s stillness in the night
Another day has passed, wash away at last
The things that I’ve done wrong
And you know I’ve been wrong

So play guitar and pluck the strings
Forget all the wicked things
I don’t need to be angry anymore

The wind between the hills, giving me chills
The frost will be melted by the morning light
What’s lost we lament in holy sacrament
The distant sun will rise
And shine into our eyes

The morning dew will form, a new day is born
The birth of the light is beginning now
The birds they will sing, the sun beams killing
The darkness of the night
Today I’ll make things right

So forgive all your evil deeds
Sew the ground with your new seeds
I don’t need to be angry anymore

I Don't Need To Be Angry (Anymore)

For those (like me) born in the late 1950s and raised in Milan in the 1960s, Sunday of derby (AC Milan vs. FC Internazionale) was the most beautiful and most feared day of the year.
As it's clear in the end of the piece, my team won the match that time (so many years ago ...)

Sunday derby (draft) *

Let them rest, let them rest their heads
Let them breathe from the streams and the rivers up ahead
Let them rest, let them rest their heads
Float with the flys and moths 
To the endless swamp bed

Handstand in the birdhouse triangle 
Hearts laid down on the sandy bank
Footsteps past the forgotten road
Warm cold breeze..
Warm cold breeze, 3 hearts rest please

Left with the wind, the sun and the moon
I love you, I’ll see you soon
Left with the wind, the sun and the moon
Be free, I’ll see you soon


Rest easy…

 PAROLES
Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
Amour faut-il qu’il m’en souvienne ?
C’est toujours sans bruit qu’ils reviennent
Assis sur leurs pattes de velours

Les souvenirs sont comme des rois
 Dont il ne reste que la tour
Tout autour les chats font leur cour
Assis sur leurs pattes de velours

Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
 C’est toujours au cœur qu’ils surprennent
On suit leurs traces dans la rue
Au moment où on ne les attend plus

Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
C’est toujours au cœur qu’ils reviennent
On entend leurs pas dans la rue
 Quand on les croyait disparus
___________________________________________________________
Memories are like cats
Love, must I remember it?
It is always without noise that they return
Sitting on their velvet paws

Memories are like kings
 Of which only the tower remains
All around, cats are courting
Sitting on their velvet paws

Memories are like cats
 It is always at the heart that they surprise
We follow in their footsteps in the street
At a time when we no longer expect them

Memories are like cats
It is always to the heart that they return
You can hear their footsteps in the street
 When we thought they were extinct

les souvenirs sont comme les chats

Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.

Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
