Feel Like Makin' Love(Cover)

Chamber Music of the New Jazz

New Rhumba

Expansive electronic lyricism.
Lyrics by Hypnomancer (David Stout) copyright 2024

Bring In
a deeper peace
Exhale
lay down the weight
Breath in
all you see
and out again
now deep release 

Be in
the soaring grace
Breath out
the brilliant air
Inhale
a vital life
now out again
expanding peace

We’re near and always hold you dear
We see what pins and pains
A breath of fire will mend and clear
Our love surrounds your name

Embrace
be in your skin
Exhale
to your toes and down
Breath in
to fill the world
and out again
to bless the ground

Be in
the soaring grace
Breath out
the brilliant air
Inhale
a vital life
now out again
expanding peace

Breathe

Flowers look back in the mirror,
They have no powers to deter.

They don’t hear her cries, her pleas or
see her injuries

But they play their part. Saying sorry, for breaking her heart.

To explain, that it won’t happen again.
That it will never, ever happen again.

Flowers look back in the mirror,
They have no powers to deter.

Her black and white decision, 
confused by colour, by suspicion


Flowers look back in the mirror

Black is the color of the rose she gave me
Petals sharp like blades they idly lay
Once upon a time I thought she might save me
Instead her darkness led me astray
Black is the color of my heart so hollow
Love once filled its depths now an empty scene
Until she walked away left me to wallow
In shadows of what could have been
She was the night and I the moonlight
Trying to shine through her endless night sky
But her black rose took away all the twilight
Left me counting all the why’s and the goodbyes
I wander now through fields of broken dreams
Black roses line the path where love once grew
Each step echoes her silent schemes
Midnight thoughts paint skies in shades of blue
Once I saw the world through rosy hues
Now I see the night in every day
Her black rose turned my reds to blues
Her love a shadow in my heart to stay
She was the night and I the moonlight
Trying to shine through her endless night sky
But her black rose took away all the twilight
Left me counting all the why’s and the goodbyes
