Your Own Time

So you’re feeling down now child
And your days are looking black
Just remember to open your eyes
So you see where the love is at

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember your not alone
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
All I can for you
Any you will find your way
In your own time

Watch out for those smiling
False friends by your side 
They’ll take everything they can
And leave you far behind

And I will always do
All I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time

Sometimes you won’t feel tuff enough
Sometimes you won’t feel cool enough
And sometimes this old world 
Can really get you down

Ah but don’t you worry dear
It’s not really all that bad
Just remember to open your mind
And you soon will understand

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember who you are
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
While I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time
Your own time

An ode to ideas both good and bad
Lyrics:
Crawling up
Out of the primordial ooze
Now we're standing  erect
And walking around
Dreaming of designer shoes
We invent languages
Fire & light
So we can see each other
When we fight on Saturday night (that's right!)
The Caveman he's painting on the cave walls
But, he's not artistically satisfied
He says: there's got to more
Like a great creator
some kind of entity that oversees us all
With rules and dogma
That we all follow

I've got to write this down!
Everything permanent once it's written on a cave wall
I've got to write this down

Don't smile  so much
Because it makes me wonder what your trying to sell me
Adam Smith & Walt Disney
A couple funky capitalists
Based our society around supply & demand
Now the worlds moving at the speed of cash

I've gonna to write this down!
Once it's written in a stock ledger
You know it's real
I'm gonna write this down

I've been creating a little Rock & Roll chop shop
With Frankenstein parts 
From funk, soul and R&B
I've got Woody Guthrie in the box car
It's like skimming from an all cash bar
Les Paul said: Let's amplify those guitars

I need to re-read the Book of Love
You know it's all written down somewhere
I've got an emotional bloody nose
That's how it goes
The Book of Love only available
To those in the know
I don't know what's going happen in the world next
An AI simulation
Or a UFO guest
There going to look back at us
They going to say: We ain't gonna do it like that
They're going to write it down
I need to write this down!

Nocturne Eb The Brighter Side

In memory of author's mother ZLATICA who died by the car crash. The lyrics of the song reflects the atmosphere when it happened.

Ambulance (lyrics: Michaela Martykanova)

1. The sky is clear, the air so warm is getting under your skin. Suddenly, the silence is broken. There´s sound of howling ambulance.
Hello, hello, perhaps somebody (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land
2. The sky is clear, even no clouds, but cold is chilling the (your) bones
Shock and fall, silence and dark, the soul is breathing no more
Hello, hello, perhaps somebody (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land
Hello, hello, somebody again (left us and) gone too soon
Hello, hello, gone somewhere, to find his own piece of land

AMBULANCE with Michaela Martykanova & KOMA  - new 2023 (often downloaded)

Grief is a taboo. It is not good and healthy to suppress negative feelings and experiences. But we are told to think positive by any guru. We become motivated to hide sorrow. But that will lead to instable balance sooner or later. Sometimes a human must cry. So I allow myself to stop faking thinking positive, being strong and indestructable. I admit being fragile and imperfect, a human with emotions, Feel invited to think about it and thank you for listening!

Written, performed and produced by Neli CoKo, Bremen Germany, 2020

SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...
