@better-with-the-blues: thank you Tom - enjoy your travels

How long have I been gone?
Weeks, months, years?
Ship on fire
Burning in the night
Illuminates the sky
In the absence of light
Slowly sailing to a place
In my mind
Leaving everything far behind
Leaving it all behind
I understand life backwards
But I have to live it forwards
I understand life backwards
But I have to live it forwards
Time is not a river
Flowing only downstream
Time is not a hallway
Going one way or the other
Time is not an ocean
Moving in all directions
Time is a jungle
Filled with scary monsters
My ship is on fire
Drifting to a place
In my mind
My ship is on fire 
Leaving it all behind
We understand life backwards
But we have to live it forwards
We understand life backwards
But we have to live it forwards

Ship On Fire

Chill vibes and ill flows. Ya know!!

The Bartenders and Emma Hope return with Hey Bartender! Part 2, a soulful and electrifying sequel to their signature hit. This time, Emma’s haunting vocals bring a new depth to the song, transforming the classic blues lament into a duet of heartbreak and resilience. While Johnny D. and Stephaan Rayes keep their signature groove alive, Emma’s presence adds a delicate yet powerful contrast—her voice both soothing and sharp, like the burn of whiskey after a long night. The song is richer, more intimate, and full of raw emotion, making it an unforgettable chapter in their blues story.

Lyrics:
"Hey Bartender"
(Verse 1) Hey bartender, I’m callin’ out to you, I’ve been prayin’, but you don’t hear me through. There’s a drinkin’ buddy, I’m lost in his charm, And I sip the whiskey poured from his arm. Every time he stirs from his drunken sleep, He grabs that bottle, takes another leap, And he pours me four for every tear I weep.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Verse 2) My eyes are dimmed, I can’t see no more, Since you left, the moonlight feels unsure. These tears run long, they blur my sight, And my broken heart joins the fight. Now I’m battlin’ sorrow and the pain of desire, A hopeless dream, a burnin’ fire.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Bridge) My folks keep sayin’ I’m a fool for this ache, They laugh and tell me it’s all just a fake. But my pain’s too real, I can’t make it less, It’s the hope and despair of this emptiness. A heart that burns, a tear that won’t stop, Knows its sins but won’t own up to the lot.
(Outro) Hey, you who turns away when I sing, My love for you’s growin’ in the spring. Don’t you dare call my love a lie, This heart beats true ‘til the day I die.


Hey Bartender! (Part 2)

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku music challenge.

"here and there
upon scorched fields
wild violets"

Arii Shokyu-Ni was a haiku poetess during the Edo period who began a wandering life after running away from her husband at 29 with the haiku poet Kohaku. Just like Matsuo Basho, "the Nun Shokyu" traveled to the Deep North of Japan.

Our heart gets fragile with age.  To have loved, be loved and the pain of loss, is life at its fullest... You choose.

TITLE: PIGGLE POP
_____________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
[Verse]
Little furball on the run
Chasing sunbeams just for fun
Wiggle waggle tiny hop
Living life with a Piggle Pop

[Prechorus]
Carrot dreams and haystack beds
Twirling thoughts in your tiny head

[Chorus]
Piggle Pop Piggle Pop
You never stop you never stop
Zoom zoom round the room
Like a rocket in a boom boom boom
Piggle Pop Piggle Pop
You’re the joy we can’t crop

[Verse 2]
Whiskers twitch at every sound
Hopping wild then spinning round
A squeak a squeal a happy shout
You’re what guinea life’s about

[Prechorus]
Nibble here and sniffle there
You spread the joy like it’s in the air

[Chorus]
Piggle Pop Piggle Pop
You never stop you never stop
Zoom zoom round the room
Like a rocket in a boom boom boom
Piggle Pop Piggle Pop
You’re the joy we can’t crop
