"Ah! Sun-flower" is a poem by William Blake, published in his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The poem explores themes of longing, weariness, and the human desire for something beyond earthly existence, using the sunflower as a symbol. 

A big thank you to you Torbjørn, what a great joy to sing this beautiful poem.

Poem: William Blake

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.

Ah! Sun-flower. Torbjørn Vagle. Oddrun Eikli

Now an acoustic music break. After a long time, a song with the vocals of the great Ian Greaves aka IPG1. It's recorded entirely with samples and loops. It fits Ian's style better. 
Thanks Ian for your great open collab offer!

Lyrics

Giving And Taking
Cloud Stepping
 
(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

(Verse1)
If we knew it all, and all, and all
Then nothing would matter
It’s all a puzzle to be solved
We have always been the answer
The plan of god without reward
Evolves in different ways
We are all awake in different dreams
To let the devil play

(Verse2)
Who amongst us hear the screams
Of millions of lives lost,
and don’t look on it as savagery
And wonder what’s the cost
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost
Are we listening or not
Are we listening or not

(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

Mark Kurtis Adams (1956-2022) is the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. We were friends for forty years. Since his passing, I have been combing through his massive catalog of original songs; many co-written with friends, many written solo. It would be a crime for the world to never hear the music I grew up on. Mark gave me permission/freedom to use his music in any way I choose before he died. Here is VOLUME 2 of Mark's music as I have interpreted it.

Lyrics:

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

TITLE: BREAKING STRINGS
__________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
He spins a web with a velvet thread
Soft words hiding the traps he’s bred
Every step’s a mine
Every laugh’s a blade
A crooked smile where trust decayed

(Pre-chorus)
But the mirror cracks
The truth it screams
No more dancing in his schemes

(Chorus)
Cut the strings
Let him tumble
Watch the tower start to crumble
No more puppets
No more show
Breaking the strings
Watch him go

(Verse 2)
His lies are shadows
Stretching tall
They twist and twist
Till you’re small
But light exposes every twist
Every turn
Watch his fire die
Watch it burn

(Bridge)
He feeds on doubt
On second guesses
But your strength grows as his mess confesses
No more falling
No more game
Stand your ground
Call his name

(Chorus)
Cut the strings
Let him tumble
Watch the tower start to crumble
No more puppets
No more show
Breaking the strings
Watch him go
