Lyric after translation :

**Into Darkness**

Certainty has disappeared, vanished into the night,
In my heart there's chaos, my mind full of dark might.
Dreams crumble under the weight of sorrow,
Life like a labyrinth without an exit, full of rebellion.

Are you coming? With me?
Are you coming? Into darkness?
You're coming. With me.
You're coming. Into darkness.

Anger doesn't pass, darkness keeps me in check
Black clouds overhead, follow me step by step
I feel the breath on my back, of an evil spirit, or a shadow
I don't want to turn into this stone.

I walk on the edge, balancing over the abyss,
At any moment I could fall, engulfed in despair.
Every day a great battle, which I fight alone,
Darkness wraps around me, the light fades irretrievably.

Come on! With me.
Come on! Into darkness.
Come on. With me!
Come on. Into darkness!

I try to scream, but my voice breaks,
I lost my place, stuck in a strange confusion.
Everyone passes by so indifferently,
As if something keeps them far away from me.

Anger doesn't pass, darkness keeps me in check
Black clouds overhead, follow me step by step
I feel the breath on my back, of an evil spirit, or a shadow
I don't want to turn into this stone.

Can't Live In The Too Pure Water

Travelling with Ghosts

Yesterday you told me that you‘ll leave our home today 
I think it’s okay cause you’re eighteen now anyway

It seems to me like someone pushed fast-forward on my tape
Keep holding back the memories in my head so they won't escape

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when you‘re old and grey like your father is by now
Most likely you will think of me and drop a line somehow

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when the time has come for you to meet your dad again
We‘ll be sitting on our cloud together, smiling now and then 

Happy birthday David!



Thanks a million for pre-listening: Michele, Gary, Judith and Brenda!

=======================


Music created in July 2024
Editing, lyrics, vocals and covert art by Winkandwoo.

The original idea came from the chorus of the music. I thought of an accordion to create it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a good sound for the iPad for this instrument, so I scrapped the idea and replaced it with a soft synthesizer with some depth.

My partner in adventures, on this occasion, did the rest with an impeccable job full of creativity and elegance.

Thanks Clive, again, for this gift.

What are they feeding your mind
How are they seeding your kind

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Why do they need you so much
When do they get in touch

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

ILLUSION MACHINE (Winkandwoo & Midisound)

""Birds" is the eighth track on After The Gold Rush. It features no instrumentation other than piano and Young's voice. It's a song of loss, with Young comforting a lover he's about to leave. At just over two-and-a-half minutes long, it's one of the shortest songs on the album, trailing in that honor only "Till The Morning Comes" and "Cripple Creek Ferry."
The song's structure is interesting because the six-line chorus is longer than both four-line verses. It starts with Young reassuring his lover that there will be "another one who'll hover over you beneath the sun." The chorus then paints an image of Young flying away from his "little one," ending with the sweetly spoken yet harsh assurance that "it's over."

It's a beautiful song (though Jimmy McDonough among others feel it was overworked in the studio) that's even more interesting looking at Young's life and career as a whole. He's always shown a penchant for abandoning people, from lovers to friends to bands. It's a notorious aspect of his personality, and one he himself has lamented on many occasion, both in interview and in song, for instance, "Running Dry (Requiem For The Rockets)."

"Birds" can be viewed as another song of Young chronicling his own tendency to burn bridges and leave people behind as he chases his muse. Or, it can be enjoyed simply as a tale of the universal complexities of romantic love".          Songfacts

Mastered Track: Distrokid Mixea

This is one about the election. The first line, I heard a lot on the news and talk shows right after the outcome, reassuring worried people that our country will make it through. I am not convinced we will, either way, it’s going to be a totally different America after these 4 years.

This song seemed a little over the top, so I went ahead and put in a gospel choir and a searing guitar lead just to make sure lol.

Sorry I haven't been on SC very much lately, I'm learning a new software app for my paying job and it is not making life easier, like I thought it would. I will be back soon!

And please pardon the vocals

I believe we’ll be okay
We’ll win this fight another day
Still, I would do it all again, because right is on our side,
And the truth can turn the tide
 
When kindness wins over greed
 It’s true that love is all you need
But If fear rules your life, your humanity will leave you
And then it’s hard to see the light
   
It seems to me // we’re all in this together
Money never will define a person's worth
And I realize, that nothing lasts forever
But we were meant to be good stewards of the Earth

I believe in you
And I hope that you believe in me, too
You  see, love has not died
It is lost somewhere inside
Our  spark will  bring it new life
So don’t give up, neither will I
Be who you        are and never hide 
If we raise our voices to the sky 
Love will not die!

We'll Be Okay

Christmas comes once a year. 
It’s a time of happiness and cheer and it’s also the one day that Uncle Lou gets to use his electric knife
He used to work in a butcher shop and all day long there was meat to chop.
But now he’s an accountant and his life is kind of dull in a mind numbing sort of way.

But when it comes time for Uncle Lou to cut the Christmas ham and turkey
he get’s a wild gleam in his eye
He says don’t worry I’m a professional
I know what I am doing 
as we all try to get out of his way

Uncle Lou’s got the electric knife
And we’re fearing for his life
That poor turkey had no chance
I think I’m gonna wet my pants
We’re afraid that Santa won’t come 
And if he does he’ll turn and run
He’ll take one look Uncle Lou
And his reindeers will be scared too

They say Electric knives have a high injury potential
And losing a finger is very consequential
But Uncle Lou doesn’t seem to care
He’s got the culinary version of a chainsaw in his hand
And he picks it up and he takes command
If he had a hockey mask you’d swear it was Friday the 13th
After a few minutes his job is complete
And then we all sit down to eat
Instead of saying grace we thank God that his fingers have survived for another year

Uncle Lou’s got the electric knife
And we’re fearing for his life
That poor turkey had no chance
I think I’m gonna wet my pants
We’re afraid that Santa won’t come 
And if he does he’ll turn and run
He’ll take one look Uncle Lou
And his reindeers will be scared too

Uncle Lou's Got The Electric Knife 2024 Version

Sunny day dreamer 

I’d like to be the man down the street
dancing music in  his  head, so sweet 
Good beat, a fucking  good beat
He's Dancing on this music so sweet

I’d like to be Sunny day dreamer
dreaming the world   coming better
Like a pure man without secret
with no more pain AND no regret

he's got a time
he’s  knows the way
he ‘s come running on a  sunny day

i' d like to know the meaning of the world.
Understanding people and their words
 Good time, spending a good time
Singing life on day on  night time

I’d like to know why the earth warming
wars and famines still existing
wake up with a smile on your face 
the future does not play dice

I've got a time
I ve   knows the way
I ve come running on a  sunny day


smile on your face
A pretty song to singing 
You are  ready for love
 It's life begin


You got a time
You knows the way
Think to Making  each day sunny day

Sunny Day Dreamer

Avenir.

Comme un pauvre  Vagabond 
errant sur les chemins de sa  vie chiffon 
Comme un poète maudit 
Écrit sur le sable mouillé 

Refrain 
Ta  voie  est là, juste un premier pas  suffit pour partir 
laiss’ pas   la peur  te voler ton désir ton avenir

Copie le saltimbanque
qui jongle habile avec ses envies - envie 
La statue immobile
qui voudrait s’envoler  s’en aller


Comme une poussée de sève 
Réveille  ta vie , refleurit le Monde  tu rêve 
C'est dans cette  lumière qu’il te faudra tracer   ta route

Imagine le monde
C'est temps pour toi d’entrer dans la rond(e) tu vois 
C’est ça  C’est ce premier pas 
qui t’a fait saisir ta vie c’est  ça

!--- Translate

Future.

Like a poor Wanderer 
wandering the paths of his rag life 
Like a cursed poet 
Written on wet sand 

Refrain 
Your path is there, just a first step is enough to leave 
Don’t let fear steal your desire, your future

Copy the acrobat
who skillfully juggles with his desires - desire 
The motionless statue
who would like to fly away


Like a rush of sap 
Wake up your life, the world you dream of blooms again 
It is in this light that you will have to trace your path

Imagine the world
It's time for you to enter the circle you see 
This is it, this is the first step 
who made you grab hold of your life, that’s it

Avenir

Side Note : I dont expect this to get many listens as it is an almost 8 Min. Dirge  LOL. :{)   My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something really want to do before this life is over.. ( Im feeling fine today ). Theres so many people out there like me.. who may not ever get the chance to share the creative spark within themselves ... the small ( or large ) contribution to the culture of humanity . This platform.. as others currently and in the past, brings the entire world together in one harmonious creative voice. And if nothing else, shows us that we can really all get along just fine woth each other if left to our individual creative desire to do so..

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and you willingness to share it. 

I have another version of this... it is a studio version. but this version holds the original spirit.  Headphones might be best.. it a raw track..

Lyrics / music by Bill Liggett

Well I had it and I lost it a couple of times
the good life fights like a fish on a line
ohh the one that got away
I saw her swim by the other day
well you lost your chance and it makes you mad
but I say time is all you ever had
oh.. you lost that itch
aint losin a sonofabitch?
But don’t be sad
the futures everything you never had
and don’t you cry
one and done is the biggest lie
the crime is never to have tried and never to have failed
and the good guy doesn’t always win 
and sometimes its the saint who has the sin
and the stronger man will do you in
but the digging of two graves will soon begin
impossible decisions at the crossroads
all roads lead to main street
go out fighting tryin to get it right
but a good left hook is gonna end the fight
oh.. break my bones today
and ill live to fight another day
they say come clean you gonna raise your hand?
 confess the crimes of another man
oh.. not without a fight
id much rather be dead right.
But don’t be sad
the futures everything you never had
and don’t you cry
one and done is the biggest lie
the crime is never to have tried and never to have failed
and the good guy doesn’t always win 
and sometimes its the saint who has the sin
and the stronger man will do you in
but the digging of two graves will soon begin
impossible decisions at the crossroads
all roads lead to main street

Dont Be Sad

They say money can’t buy you happiness, it’s easy to say that when you’re rich
Cause when you have no money, life can be a bitch
If someone gives you a billion dollars, you’d be willing to give it a try
Seems better to be filthy rich than a guy who’s funds are running dry

You looked at your bank account and the money was all spent
And as you poked your toe through a hole in your sock you wonder where it all went
The prices keep getting higher when you go to the grocery store
And then one day you realize that you’re one of the working poor

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal

Life keeps handing you lemons and you’re sick trying to make lemonade
And every day your enthusiasm for your job continues to fade
You tell yourself someone’s got to do the dirty work, so the sausages get made
And every day you have a new bill that that needs to be paid

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal

You’ve been working so hard but you can’t seem to get ahead
Some days you don’t even feel like getting out of bed
They say that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result
There’s days when you sit in your cubicle and you want to jump up and bolt

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal
The billionaires are doing perfectly okay
And you’re just treading water trying to make it through each day

They say money can’t buy you happiness, it’s easy to say that when you’re rich. 
Cause when you have no money, life can be a bitch
If someone gives you a billion dollars, you’d be willing to give it a try
Seems better to be filthy rich than a guy who’s funds are running dry

Where The Money Went

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit
