虹 RAINBOW


遥かな空に清らかな虹がかかる

涙をぬぐい両手広げときめきもらおう

素直な心でいよう　
虹の天使も微笑むよ

だから苦しい事があっても　
幸福つかむ気持ち捨てないで
きっと永遠の愛と喜び訪れるから


生きていく事って辛いよね
毎日毎日泣いてるよ
でも,でも,でも,でも,あの虹が
絶対,必ず,絶対,必ずね


素直な心でいよう　
虹の天使も微笑むよ

だから苦しい事があっても　
幸福つかむ気持ち捨てないで
きっと永遠の愛と喜び訪れるから

苦しい事があっても　
幸福つかむ気持ち捨てないで
きっと永遠の愛と喜び訪れるから

There’s a map upon your face
Says join the human race
Often whispered sweetly

There’s a hunger in your eyes
Tells your stomach not to lie
Often whispered sweetly

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Is it magical?
Not so physical 
Metaphysical
Not invisible
Not divisible
Nothing risible 
Shoot the animal, Officer Dibble

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Often whispered sweetly

They rely on the ways of a gun 
Keep it simple
Keep it pithy
They rely on the ways of a gun

Something in your eye
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your mind
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your eye
Is tugging at your heart

Pooh pooh pooh pooh

Officer Dibble..

Eklektikos - The Colloquy
August 2020
Duration: 2:55
Artwork: John-Marc Ventimiglia
Part of the Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/ekleltikos-triptych

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  Colloquy is defined as a gathering for discussion.  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

For Tuned Water drums, Alpine Zither, Shakuhachi, Darbuka, Koto, Morin Khuur, Rako Bowls, strings, flute and percusssion

Eklektikos - The Colloquy

Update:

I just learned that James Horbett, whose music inspired this song, passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer. 

His wonderful music, song craft and incredible talent will always remain an inspiration to me, but the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP James Horbett, 1987-2019

Based on a chord sequence from the song 'There's No Constant' by James Horbett, this was the first rhythm guitar song I wrote using my 12-string guitar.

Lyrically inspired by the song 'Wharf Rat' by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and (somewhat obviously) by the movie 'On The Waterfront'.

Lyrics:
When I was young and I was strong
Back when I worked the Waterfront
I know I could have been someone
So long ago....

Once I was loving, I was loved
I never thought I'd have no-one
I know I could have been someone
Now I don't know...
And now I walk the Waterfront
What have you done?...

Some memories I can't forget
I know I'm not defeated yet...
I know I could have been someone
What have you done?
But now I'm on the Waterfront
What have you done to me?

On The Waterfront (Jim's Song)

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

When I was in 10th grade I asked my Belgian Spanish Teacher (Ms. Van Stichel) why the Spanish word “esperar” was used for both waiting and hoping. Maybe a sophomoric question (excuse the pun), but her answer has stuck with me through the years. She said “to wait is to hope”, and how right she was. 

I HOPE

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope all manner of sins will be forgiven
I hope, I hope for my better angels
I hope, I hope for a wide open door
I hope, I hope you feel the same way
I hope we’ve got a lot left to live
I hope I’ve got a lot left to give

I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I hope to make a change for the better
I hope, I hope there is another way
I hope we can see it all clearly
I hope, I can open up inside
I hope we can find the time
I hope we can find a rhyme

I hope there’ll be a new beginning
I hope to tell right from wrong
I hope you get what you want
I wait, and I hope

I Hope

A long time ago, we created this song in collaboration with our friend Reverence. It was originally released on Bandcamp as part of Doc Torthis' album, Sounds For Sore Ears Vol. 1, the proceeds of which were meant to help him offset the costs of running his independent radio station, Dólfinngr Radio. Dólfinngr Radio is now gone, but the song lived on, thanks mostly to Eddie Shook kindly playing it on his biweekly show, Anything Goes. It's been through several revisions over the years, and we thought it might finally be time to put a version of it up on Soundcloud. So we took a couple takes, and started trying to teach ourselves some of the finer points of using a (somewhat?) legitimate DAW. 

Needless to say, today we discovered reverb. Whoa.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening.

Joe Hill, Swedish emigrant, songwriter, working class hero, was the inspiration behind this song.

A poll released on August 16th found that nearly half of Americans who support Biden plan to vote by mail rather than in person on election day, compared with just one in ten backers of Trump.

Big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein for his beautiful raw playing that takes this song from its humble ‘rural’ beginnings into big ‘city’ overdrive. And to Yaron Engler for his deft drum programming.

No letter in the post for Joe
No letter in the post for Joe
Where’s that vote
In an envelope
No letter in the post for Joe

He needs that letter to make things better 
Why’s it so damn slow
Don’t stop clapping
Until it happens
No  letter in the post for Joe  
      
Click, snap, a letter box flap
Tell me yes or no? 
If that my vote
In an envelope
That’s all I need to know
Or I tell you Joe might blow

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
