▶ ‫مشروع ليلى - ما تتركني هيك‬

THIS IS - Written and narrated by Hank Beukema

home recording
January 2014

Invade your mind, like the termites in your walls 
Only when your guard is down, I come out and crawl 

Haven't we walk down this street this time last year? 
No, different pairs of hands, and hearts, and fears 
I write you love songs, in pencil so I can erase your name 
Subject to change, 
Nothing stays the same 
Nothing stays the same 

Lock our fingers as we trip along the cobblestones 
Get home late. Kill the lights, and smash our bones 
Like a garden snake I peel my skin and leave it in the grass 
Sun comes up, I'm crawling fast 
This is now the past 

Invade your mind, like the termites in your walls 
Only when your guard is down, I come out and crawl 
On your wooden floors; past the shirts, the sheets, and the regrets 
You share your bed, not with me, but with the words 
I never meant.

Crawl

Crime In High Places - Words & music by Pravinand Maharaj

There’s a death in the house tonight
Sorrow running wild
The priest has come and gone
Down the other side
You’re forgiven though you didn’t repent
A part of heaven’s love to you is sent
And all I’m left with are old familiar faces
Shadows deepen like crime in high places

I saw a man brought down
I saw a woman bleed
I saw children robbed of love by hate and greed
A war is raging, the battlefield’s a street
While someone’s staging a show of pure deceit
And in my corner I feel I’m slowly wasted
Darkness descends from crime in high places

I was forced to tell the truth
And swear by the light I pray
I was forced to give my youth
To old age and decay
But it’s alright now
I took a vow
By the hand of God to slay
The thief who comes before the light of day

There are no footprints on the shores of Galilee
By faith alone I stand, by grace alone I’m free
A multitude of sins dwell inside the soul  
There is no god within, just a demon without control
And every where I go there’s evidence and traces
Who does not know there’s crime in high places

Le Grand Blond Avec Une Chaussure Noire (Suite) [1972]

Scene Of The Crime (Dave Clarke Remix)

Avec son aimable autorisation voici une adaptation d'une chanson de Gérard Delassus (paroles de Marie Delassus) dont je suis tombé amoureux cet été. Je parle de la chanson, pas de Gérard ! Vous pouvez entendre la version originale (et bien d'autre pépites) sur la page SoundCloud de Gérard ici :
https://soundcloud.com/g-rard-delassus/les-gens-qui-passent

Paroles :

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts 
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

C'est l'orage qui gronde...
Et l'éclair qui réveille
Une vitre là-bas,
Message sous la treille
Des hommes d'autrefois
Qui dormaient sous ce toit

C'est un chien qui aboie... 
Et très loin, tout là-bas,
Loin dans la nuit des temps,
Répond un chien errant
Qui suivait l'inconnu
Passant dans cette rue.

Une musique au loin...
Les fêtes et le vin,
Vendanges et moissons,
L'amour sur tous les tons
Faisait chanter les gens,
J'entends encore leurs chants.

C'est la cloche qui sonne
Au soleil de l'été,
D'un été oublié.
La foule endimanchée
S'en va se joindre aux ombres
Sous le grand porche sombre.

Et c'est la pluie qui tombe
Et le ciel qui se plombe...
J'entends les eaux qui montent,
Le pays qui s'enfonce,
Les hommes qu'elle tue,
La Loire des grandes crues.

C'est le glas qui s'égrenne...
Tant de joies, tant de peines...
Clameurs, gémissements,
Et rires des enfants...
Ils sont passés par là.
Ils ne reviendront pas

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

Refrain :
J'entends des fois
Passer des gens
Passés déjà
Depuis longtemps

Les gens qui passent (adaptation d'une chanson de Gérard Delassus)

When I’m Young Again

Met a man with a broken wheel
Had the ride of his life
He turned to me to make a deal
To do it one last time
Off we went into the night
Through the dark I drove
The sky with stars and satellites
The road with tar and stones
Then he spoke after a while
Said things have really changed
Guess I’ll be where I should have been
When I’m young again

I was wondering about my friend 
Just what had turned his tide
Did he think that this journey’s end
Would be one happy ride
Do you know I was happy once
In the silence he spoke
His tone of voice had me in a trance
Like a reed that broke
It’s always once upon a time
And on and on, on this road
Guess I’ll write my own fairytale
When I’m young again

Twice I stopped for fuel and beer
Back on the road we went
It was all becoming clear
This was no accident
At last I spoke and asked him straight
Where he wanted to go
He smiled the smile we smile at fate
And said where I was before
Each passing year I think of him
And of that journey so strange
Guess I still want to be with you
When I’m young again

Kamasi Washington - 'Re Run Home'

I had posted this song a few months back last year with just acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica. Russell Sinfield heard it in his own special way and wanted to add something to it. He took up the tempo a little and then got Gary Reeves to add percussion. He then did the bass himself and finally had Gavin Stephens to do the trumpet. I was quite blown away with the end result! I hope you don’t mind giving this song a listen again. These are three supremely talented artists and I can’t thank them enough!

Bless Me Father - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Bless me Father I have sinned again
Tried so hard but took her name in vain
Then there was that big moon
Shining through the window pane

Thought the bitter dust had settled down
Didn’t quite know that it was still around
In a flash it fell upon me
And brought me to the ground

I’m down on my knees
At the altar of the Beast
Old waters flow
The dark lights still glow
Angry gods surround me
And they refuse to speak 
An empty silence my reward
A mortal at her feet

Is this the hour the stones arise
Is this the moment all nature cries
Mourning deep and terrified
When a spirit dies

All the blessed holy saints have failed
None of them could hear the wail
None of eyes nor of ears avail
Just icons from a sale

I’m down on my knees
At the altar of the Beast
Old waters flow
The dark lights still glow
Angry gods surround me
And they refuse to speak
An empty silence my reward
A mortal at her feet

I carry flowers to an unmarked grave
Here lies the lost unsaved
The Keeper beckons me to gaze
So deep the abyss lay

Bless me Father I have sinned again
So deep the abyss lay
Bless me Father I have sinned again
So deep the abyss lay



Bless Me Father

Borderland  - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a wire fence running east
Keeping Eden out of bounds
And he speaks unto the least
Like a Sermon on the Mount
And as the living often do
Find a million ways to die
I was born loving you
A truth I still deny

It’s my inheritance they say
A house with many rooms
But I be homeless night and day
Until I’m in the tomb
Behind that solid door
Something else lies in
And when you open up you know
It was the same old thing

Now you and I we learned
That freedom’s golden chains
Caused Paradise to burn
And we both took the blame
Still shaken from the fall
And I can’t get back up
They all are prison walls
Everything I touch

I’m crawling through the sands
To the setting sun
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome

In the Shadow of the Cross 
Words and Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Far away and I can feel
That distant moan inside of me
A darkened window I must be
When the full light of moon is lost
Far away as in a dream
I’m half there and cannot scream
As if behind an iron screen
In the shadow of the cross

Far away and close at hand
Lofty kingdoms in the sand
On the trail the saved and damned
Are overcome by violent force
Far away and faith still grieves
Blessed are they who will not leave
Who have not seen and still believe
In the shadow of the cross

Far away in time and space
Yet so near to touch my face
Still so near my tears to trace
Every time I count the cost
Far away beyond the mile
Without a coat is winter’s child
The smitten brave will rest awhile
In the shadow of the cross

Far away and blood is rain
Mocking tongues in cold disdain
Weave with deceit a web of shame
And laugh at love’s unnatural course
Far away the dead will rise
Wounded hands will touch blind eyes
Defiled no more nor beauty dies
In the shadow of the cross

Lyrics: 

my consciousness is not in me
i am in my consciousness
i am not in my body
my body is in me

this body's all i got
your body's all i want
this body is my temple
why don't you come pray with me

My temple is where I play
Your temple is where i wish to pray
Our temple is where we meet in heaven
Why don't you come pray with me

she looked at me, then
i looked at her

and then she said there ain't 
nothing wrong
with this
physical plane, but lets just sit and meditate 

We were once lovers, I knew you from a past time
and you knew me
I once was a luminous sphere of plasma
And you were my gravity
I remember when we were two sets of interlaced threads
In a beautifully woven tapestry
I loved it when you rubbed against me
Friction
There were times when we exploded like when we of singularity
wasn't that something
How we did grow, exponentially
Especially me haha
All things come from you
And all things emerge internally
Blessing to our dreams may they always be a source of our prosperity
I once dreamed we were two facing mirrors under an ancient tree
On another planet in another galaxy
In the past of a future time in an alternate reality
But the point is, I was in you and you were in me
How we used to make love
Energetically
those were sacred moments when the spirit filled us with clarity
Yo I got mad abundance
Won't you come pray with me

Senfsuck & The Couch King - Pray With Me (music video now in link!)

Regardless of the many religious views, the rebirth is a moment of clarity. 
Driven to a deep humility, caused by the infinite beauty of creation.

Anne Cazier,  chanteuse internationale rentre en  France après plus de 13 ans passé en Allemagne. Elle est accompagné par les plus grands accordéoniste russes et roumain.   . Anne est en  convalescence en  ce moment. Nous reviendrons sur scène des l'année prochaine. ( 2014 ) Croisons les doigts! 

Dis,  quand reviendra tu? DE Barbara.  Anne Cazier et JR Live!!!!

I'm a singer-songwriter from Durban, South Africa. Having being raised in the church I was advantaged with a ready-made audience. Their kindness, patience and ecouragement gave me the confidence to improve my songwriting and to take it quite seriously. At times when the lyrics had a touch of controversy, they never thought it scandalous, which further encouraged me to write on social issues, love songs, and songs with just a story. 
By my mid-teens I was heavily influenced by the hippy gospel songwriter Larry Norman, which may explain why into my 50's I still have long hair! Through his music I learned that songs do have a greater purpose. 
As a young upstart I was blessed with a kind and forgiving congregation. Today I'm blessed with a very tolerant family and a bunch of great friends. I love what I do!
