We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around
(Repeat Verses)

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta
(Repetir versos)

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

I Have To Say I Love You In A Song ( cover - Jim Croce)

This is one of my all time favourite songs.
Summertime was an "Aria" composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 Opera Porgy and Bess. They lyrics were written by Du Bose Heyward. The song is also co- credited to Ira Gershwin
I added some strings but thatks to jazzbacks for the wonderful backing.

Le Voyage en ballon d'Adelle

Lyrics below by Tony Harris - US
Melody, Vocals, Music & Mix by Mike Fox - UK

WHEN HE LOOKED IN THE MIRROW
ALL HE COULD SEE WAS SORROW
THE YEARS HAD TAKEN A TOLL
ON THIS MANS LONELY SOUL

THE YEARS HAD PASSED HIM BY
NOW HE WAS WANDERING WHY
HE NEVER STOPPED TO SMELL THE ROSES
AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES

(CHORUS)
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
HE MAY LOOK JUST LIKE YOU AND ME

HE NEVER SPENT TIME WITH FAMILY
ONLY VISITING THEM OCCASIONALLY
ALWAYS MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
WHEN NEEDED HE WAS NEVER AROUND

THE GRASS WAS ALWAYS GREENER
ALWAYS CONSIDERED A LONER
AND WHEN HE FOUND THE OTHERSIDE
HE NEVER SEEMED TO BE SATISFIED

(REPEAT CHORUS)

HIS BODY WAS LAID TO REST
UNDER THE BIG SKY OUT WEST
THE BURIAL PLACE IS UNKNOWN
SAD TO THINK THAT HE DIED ALL ALONE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Familiar sparks of blues and whites,
With urgency like night time flights,
And wrapped inside a nervous gown -
The downside of this upside down.

They like it when my voice is ice,
And nothing more than sacrifice.
I'm all lit up in this dark town,
And upright when I'm upside down.

Between the lines is always clear:
You're worried for your landing gear
And who'll be there upon the ground
To right you when you're upside down.

Skin and Bones  Words and Music: Pravinand Maharaj

Skin and bones
Heat and snow
Dark and white
Rest and flow
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Leave and run
Be my guest
All the guns
Haven’t fired yet
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

There’s a hole on the mountain
There’s a tower in the fountain
There’s a bridge over Hades
By the Quarry-side
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Meet the damned
Damn the beast
Half the man
I’ll always be
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Wheelwright: Vocals, vocal melody, lyrics and sampled cello

This track is available on Immaculate Distraction https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction

I am a great admirer of Jonathan's work and when he approached me with this wonderful piece of music asking if I might have a go at lyrics and a vocal I felt really privileged. I wanted to try to do as good a job as I could, but initially I struggled, and then, feeling extremely despondent I took a break from it. On my second attempt I think I started to listen properly to what the music was saying – rather than imposing too much of myself on it – and I  began to get melodies and word patterns that seemed like they were there under the surface already.

This has been an amazing project to work on, and Jonathan has been hugely supportive throughout. I've done my bit for sure, but it would have been nothing without the music.

Jonathan's posting of the song is here:

Last night I dreamed that I could play the guitar
I was on The Titanic trying to sing
My heart will still go on
But I kept getting it wrong and
I couldn't get the high notes but
At least we hadn't hit the iceberg yet and

All the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try

I was studying Kate Winslet
She was standing by a ventilation inlet
In a girly dress despite the cold and
I could see that she was not impressed
By my extraordinary rendition
I said you're looking nice and
I need relationship advice and she replied
Let's take a walk on the starboard side

And the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
When life's too flattering too sweet
We all like to pretend
But we all know how it ends

We're listing to port and
Kate's politely listening as
I'm listing all the things I should have said to you but
Never did
And realistically I think she's thinking
Less about you and me and
Rather more about the fact that
We've all started sinking yeah
Into the unforgiving sea oh

But the stars above us shone...

We All Know How It Ends (Wheelwright + Beckenstein)

A couple of years ago I was looking for royalty free video material for another tune when I found a old silent movie, Alice in Wonderland, from 1915. Those fantastic images, full of naif beauty,  inspired me a piece about dreamers. That old version is still there on YouTube. This is a new version for violin with a great interpretation of Rosin Dust. The more we collaborate, the more enthusiastic I am of her lyrical sounds.

Here her amazing music: https://soundcloud.com/rosindust  
Here the footage of the movie, with the old version:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJXapdM4GZ4

For all dreamers

Here all our collaborations:

The dreamer - with Rosin Dust

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics

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!
