SCANNING lyrics

Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
You disappeared from my life
I gave you all I had
But it was not enough
You disappeared from my life
Its still your terms like it always was
All these questions spinning around
Somehow I keep losing my ground

Scanning through our story

Not sure if Im haunting our dreams or mine
You disappeared from my life
Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
you disappeared from my life
you had my heart and my time
all these questions spinning around
Somehow i keep losing my ground

Yeah Im scanning through our story

Scanning

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Suddenly you come across an opening in the forest - a fading landscape of forgotten names...
fading green is the third tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

--------------------lyrics

No one said that
we would see
Family to no one
Sunlight through trees
No one asked for
an early grave

Stones of names a fade away…

When the clouds come down
water upside down
Order of each name
Feather on tongue

Thousand heart beats in the trees
now gone on the wings of…

day's fading green

d'ville

fading green

fading green [ft. 4catsncoffee]

I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

Bouzouki, harp, bass and drum programming, mixed and premastered by Dónal Lunny
Mastered by Ivan O'Shea
Editing/Vocals/BV/guitar/photo of my mum by SuZanne

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master

Lyrics:
Pilgrim
By David Husted

V1
And there's a moment of reason you see
Hidden behind days and days of misery
PreVs
V2
A kind of freedom that's greeting pain
There's a season to face that long, long tale of love and hate
Ch
Pilgrim 
you still crawling on your belly?
Soothing Moon hold back the tide tonight
Post Ch
PreVs
V3 
Still Dancing on tea Leaves I see
Going home with that laughing Buddha remembering
Aiming high beyond that saffron robe there billowing
Broken open, the road twists, that's when the Crone and the Shaman give
Ch
Pilgrim 
you still crawling on your belly?
Soothing Moon hold back the tide tonight

Song Background and More Detail for the Deep Divers:
I have recently been enjoying a podcast called This Jungian Life. I am not a rabid listener but the episodes I do hit I find interesting enough to stay tuned in. Three good friends, who are Jungian analysts, talk about the world and its many issues as seen through the lens of Carl Jung. I am sure this is not for everyone but it hits the spot for me. They also breakdown a dream of the day at the end of the show which is always entertaining. 

Why do I bring this up? Well, my song lyrics often tend toward a sort of introspective explorative flavoring. My soon to be released song called Pilgrim is no exception. In addition to the word Pilgrim, the words Shaman, Crone and Buddha turn up which seem to conjure up archetypes that resonate with me. Figures that embody strength, resilience and wisdom. I reference winding roads and tides in the song that perhaps point to how we move towards or against life's gifts, challenges and hidden truths with grace and authenticity. I have said this often before, I never really know what my lyrics are about, but this description feels right for me today so I am going with it. 

My premiere team of graphic designers just completed the cover art for Pilgrim and it is provided in this blog photo.  I take part of the chorus section to the very limits of my vocal range which is not very wide. Looking back, it always seems there is some pain and beauty going on at the same time. The reflections do not often provide pointers to specific content. I have no problem with this. 

I remember the guitar rhythm borrowed heavily from a Stones pattern. See if you can guess which one when the song is released. Songwriting and production have enabled me to meet, interact and network with so many music loving folks whether it is through other music/social platforms, other bands, songwriters, good friends and/or family. I am very grateful for these connections and the opportunities they have opened up. 

I have a soft place in my heart for new music from relatively unknown artists (I wonder why?).  I tend to like/lean toward the “indie” rock genre more than others but really I like them all if the music is creative and well produced. There are so many talented artists and songwriters out there (published and unpublished). The music industry tends to funnel only the smallest 1% of good music to us but, rest assured, if you look more carefully there are many more gold nuggets out there. Deep Bow to those music forums and platforms that continue to help discover them. Panning for the gold never gets old for me. 

Thank You for your support. I appreciate. 
thx....Dave
