Final track in Tarot series - The Sun - my take on an ancient ritual.

Early civilisations recognised the importance of the sun. The chief deity in many ancient cultures was a sun god or goddess. Ancient Egyptians worshipped Ra, a falcon-headed god who carried the sun disk on his headdress. Every day, Ra would cross the sky in "solar boats."

Lyrics:
So far away
I am sitting here
And you are sitting there 
So far away
I ´m here on my own 
And youre there on your own
So far away
You´re my shiny star
I love you from far
So far away
One day you´ll be here
Take me in your arms
now you´re far away.

Neli CoKo - One Day

A song I wrote two years ago or more about my wife and her mother. Reflecting on the loss of a mother and how it affects the daughter so much and continues to hurt everyday five years later.
I gave Noobly the original demo and said imagine this.
We are on stage at the Albert Hall. You with an acoustic guitar and me on vocals with a full orchestra behind us. He said no pressure then and laughed.
It’s the only way I could express how big this sound needed to be.
Noobly loves a challenge and always delivers. I was blown away at what he had created it’s a home  studio masterclass of orchestration and production.
He also pulled out the original vocal part from the middle 8 and re-used it again as he thought it was more authentic than the new vocal.
A nice touch for me and nostalgic.
The anniversary draws near so now is a good time for the song to be released as a tribute. 
Just Not Today………….

JOE GASTON IS A HANDSOME PHYSICIAN, 
A DEDICATED READER AND A TALENTED ATHLETE
THE MAN HAS BEEN AROUND FROM AFRICA TO OMAN
TO NORTH CAROLINA WITH A FRISBEE IN HIS HAND
 
MAIS JOE GASTON QU’A-TU FAIS DE TON FRANÇAIS

EST-CE À CAUSE DE TON MENU QUI NE VARIAIT JAMAIS
TOUS LES SOIRS PÂTES AU POULET ARROSÉES D’UN GRAND VERRE DE LAIT

CLÉ DE FA CLÉ DE SOL MERLE NOIR ROSSIGNOL
A NIGHTINGALE YOU ARE SO I HEARD FROM A BIRD
BEST WHISTLER IN THE WORLD THAT’S WHAT TOLD ME BEN
WHO CAN  BE CONSIDERED AS SOMEWHAT OF A BEST FRIEND 

HEY JOE REMEMBER CHICAGO

THEN IT WAS THE BIG APPLE NO MORE FRISBEE IN HAND
COS YOU FOUND BETTER TO HOLD I MEAN THE HAND OF LAUREN

WHAT A JAW JOE THAT’S WHY I CALL YOU GASTON
MÂCHOIRE D’ACIER LE PLUS CARRÉ DES MENTONS
MAIS BON COMME LE BON PAIN 33 PIGES AU COMPTEUR
SURPRISING AS A DANCER TOUJOURS LA MAIN SUR LE CŒUR 

CLÉ DE FA CLÉ DE SOL MERLE NOIR ROSSIGNOL
A NIGHTINGALE YOU ARE SO I HEARD FROM A BIRD
BEST WHISTLER IN THE WORLD THAT’S WHAT TOLD ME BEN
WHO CAN  BE CONSIDERED AS SOMEWHAT OF A BEST FRIEND

BRILLIANT ENTREPRENEUR TOP CRAZY INVENTOR
LIKE TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE’S KNEES AND SPECIAL TANNING SLEEVES

"The Second Coming" is a poem written by Irish poet W. B. Yeats in 1919, the poem uses Christian imagery regarding the Apocalypse  to allegorically describe the atmosphere in the immediate aftermath of WW1. The poem was written in the weeks following Yeats's pregnant wife's recovery from the flu. The virus had apparently bought his wife close to death. 
These themes of senseless destruction and pandemic seem to echo the world in which we currently find ourselves and the work seems like a chillingly apt allegory for our present situation.

A further twist to this piece is that the dialogue was generated using AI Voice cloning, the AI was trained using a recording of the English actor David Warner, who passed away in July 2022. The text of the poem was then simply copied into a text dialogue and the audio was then created within a minute. I slightly slowed the audio, split some sections and added some subtle convolution reverb, but otherwise the voice you hear is generated entirely by the AI.  
While this has been an interesting exercise in discovering what is possible, it does concern me regarding the rate at which AI technologies have suddenly exploded into the public arena.

Should we be worried.... possibly?

The angel said to the women,'Do not be afraid,for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
