Description: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=42508

Tres belle chanson dans une atmosphere intimiste. L’harmonica et le slide sont super avec votre voix 

Beauté, douceur, et charm dans une country ballad classique !

Magnifique chanson ! 💐😍🙏🍀🎶🎧

such a gentle stride in the guitar plucking and bowed strings...enjoyed the delivery of the lines...the pacing and non-chalant approach...such an engaging vocal...harmonica in the middle added a haunting vibe...don't know of Dan or the causefor the poem....liked the ending...it's sunny somewhere... words to ponder  (would you post the lyrics, or a link to the poem so I can more readily  follow along?  :)

Intro:
Oh-Oo
Wo-Oo-Oh
Ah...

Beautiful kaleidoscope
Suddenly appears before me
In front of my eyes
In my head
Beautiful Kaleidoscope

Of colour
Bold, bright and blue
Oh, so good

I'm floating
I, I am
In the sky
So high above I go
In my psychedelia
Oh, Yeah-Yeah
Hey, Eh-Eh

Purple, Red and Blue
Colours so pure, so pure
I'm goin' outta my head
Pleasantly I escape

To what's comin'
What's comin' ahead
In the clouds
In the misty light

Wo-Oo-Wo
Wo-Oo-Wo-Ho
Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Yeah-Yeah
Beautiful psychedelia
Hmn, the colours
Of the rays
Ah-Huh, Oh-Ooh, Oh-Ho

Lyrics:

Got time, weather is fine,
Strollin’ on the pier beside the waters that shine.
Head high, mind in the sky,
Thinkin’ ‘bout a someone who could maybe walk by.

Feel elation, palpitations, beaming straight up to the sun
A flirtation, imagination, making it feel like a love has begun.
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)

Doo-doo’s

Inhalation, inebriation, someone just came into view.
Desperation, trepidation, will they walk by when they see that it’s you?
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)

Stop time, something sublime,
Movin’ from this moment now would feel like a crime,
Walked by, was that a blush?
And did you just imagine that casual touch?

Feel elation, palpitations, beaming straight up to the sun
A flirtation, imagination, making it feel like a love has begun.
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by?  
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)
Are you gonna, are you gonna gonna walk by? 
(are you gonna gonna walk on by?)

Doo-doo’s

Walk By (featuring Glenn Sevillo)

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Trapped Rat Billy ……to end

Trapped Rat ~ Conscience Of Kings

This is the title track off the album "There to here". It continues the story of a young man travelling across the atlantic ocean from Ireland in the 1800's and trying to find a place to settle in the new world of America.

Mixing and production: Phil Bowen

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
I look across Long Island in the setting sun
Shadows seem to dance around everyone
I look back at the ocean there’s nothing but sea
And wonder if this is reality

Verse 2
I walk to the station catch the Stonington line
Lay back my head. It’s like a mountain I climbed
One more day and I’ll soon be there
Providence calls to my evening prayer

Chorus
That’s the way I got from there to here
It seems to roll into another year
A little laughter, a few more tears
That’s the way I got from there to here. 

Verse 3
So the train moves on and time moves on
I’m sitting here thinking that I belong
To this new world of hope, opportunity
No more locks on doors, no master key

Verse 4
The moon shines down across a canopy of trees
On a warm summer night well I feel so at ease
One more day and I’ll soon be there
Providence calls to my evening prayer.

Modern Times feat. IPG1 & Paploviante

RELEASE NOTES

A collaborative jam featuring Stonerjazz (@user-911083679) on vocals,
Turab Khan (@turab-khan) on guitar, Zanshin 残真 (@soundsofthekosmos) on
drums & Teth Sin (@teth-sin) on guitars, bass & vocals.
This collaboration started back in 2020. Myrh (@myrhyum) suggested Teth
Sin to track a guitar part on "Mazdoor Funk (loop jam with Raza)" -
Original track by Turab Khan:
https://soundcloud.com/turab-khan/chichora-23. The project was then left
aside for various logistical and technical reasons.
A couple of years later Zanshin 残真 sent Teth Sin a sample of his cool
street drumming, which was synced to Turab Khan's jam. Teth Sin, at that
point, decided to cut out the bass and drums from the original piece,
leaving only Turab Khan's guitar. Then he chopped up his guitar solo and
redistributed it across various tracks. He also added a new bass line,
which helped vary the structure of the song.
In late 2023 Teth Sin asked Stonerjazz to kindly add lyrics and vocals.
He mixed and mastered the song, and the result is this enjoyable
funk-rock jam, featuring a sample of Stonerjazz's exquisite
post-beat/psychedelic poetry.
Please note that every element was recorded in a different continent:
drums in Australia, some guitar in Pakistan, other guitars in Tunisia,
bass in Italy, vocals in the USA. Still this virtual jam sounds so
cohesive, despite a world that seems to be increasingly fragmented and
disjointed. At the end of the day, we should always remember that we all
revolve around That Giant Ball Of Burning Gas...

LYRICS by Stonerjazz:

Just out here in the middle of the void,
spinning fast around a giant ball of burning gas
that's hurdling thru the deepest darkest space.
Meteors and comets are zooming by at breakneck pace
The situation seems to be a little bit precarious,
some might even say Nefarious,
how can it be that tragedy can sometimes  almost  be  hilarious.
Stupidity it seems to be the order of the day.
But here we are and here we go onward out,
like warriors without a clue,
and everyone will play their part,
of this i'm sure, i know it's true.

Cuts Like Ragged Steel

    Unfurl your banner…sound your trumpets
    Surely you will know
    To you of dull wit…all I ask for is watch until she glows

    (CHORUS)

    She floats like a ghost, like a ghost in the winter garden
    Floats like a ghost to me
    She floats like a ghost, like a ghost in the winter garden
    Floats like a ghost to me

    She cuts like ragged steel, she cuts like ragged steel
    She cuts like ragged steel through me
    She cuts like ragged steel, she cuts like ragged steel
    She cuts like ragged steel through me

    The time has flown… the light has left this page
    That read of her own doom
    A lady that was full of Grace…forever walks alone

    (CHORUS)

    (INST)

    She cuts like ragged steel, cuts like ragged steel
    She cuts like ragged steel through me
    I shoulda turned back the tide, shoulda torn down the walls
    Shoulda ripped apart the world for you
    For you

Modern Times - IPG1 & Paploviante

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

They that we’re running out of natural resources
We gotta go out and find ourselves some brand new sources
They say that we’re not goanna find them here on good old planet earth
We gotta go out in to the solar system and dig for all it’s worth

People out there living their lives 
They’re not worried at all
They think you’re just a chicken little 
saying that the sky’s goanna fall

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars and make the human race multiplanetary
But the way those rockets keep blowing up makes that trip seem pretty scary

We feed our cow’s chicken poop and we’re  surprised when they catch bird flu
And when there’s virus in the milk they say that shouldn’t worry you
They say that steak tastes better if you feed the cattle a corn or grass diet
But they don’t advertise  poop fed beef they keep that part very quiet

Too much atmospheric CO2
Pesticides in everything we chew
Forever chemicals in H20
We need to make changes but 
We’re move too slow

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
It feels like we’re on the Titanic
But we’re all to busy to panic
We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That The ship is starting to sink

Keeping It Together (Soul Shaker EP)

A track from the album Time and Tide, available on Bandcamp
amandasanderson.bandcamp.com/album/time-and-tide

Lyrics, music, mixing, production: Verulium
https://verulium.bandcamp.com/releases
Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

It started in Garstang
Heading out for the M55 it's a beautiful motorway
But in the wrong direction 

I first saw Jimi in 75
Stood on the cowling of a seaplane not alive
But more like a saviour

I sat by the lakeside
Checking up on the stove and the gear for a very long holiday
To where the spirit takes me

He landed like a star on Derwentwater
His face was drawn so I offered him a quarter
Of Kendal mint cake

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We're parked in a lay by
Filling up with some beans on toast and a very nice Chardonnay 
To mark the occasion

In a white silk shirt and skin tight pants
He can't sing a note and he's banned all instruments
You've got to respect it

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We pin our hopes upon
The comeback show of the chosen one
At the Woodstock of the north
In Deeply Vale with Sandie Shaw and The Doors 

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

But the times have changed
The stars have left?
We keep on chasing happiness none the less
One day we’ll find it

Time and Tide

Driving The Ghost Of A Famous Sixties Rock Star

Approaching Midnight

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)
