Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

1 Encruzilhada

I don't do a lot of covers, but here is one written by Canadian artists Colleen Neumann and Don Zueff.

Lyrics:
	I ain’t a key chain that you dangle when you walk
	I ain’t a love machine, I ain’t no debutant
	I ain’t a doormat or the carpet on your floor
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	do you remember when you said you loved me true
	I guess those words never meant that much to you
	everything I ever felt for you just sauntered out the door
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	I take cream in my coffee, sugar in my tea
	you still don’t know anything about me
	too bad you didn’t take the time to understand
	‘cause you’d still be my woman and I’d still be your man

	you say my imagination’s just running wild
	the problem’s in my head I’m crossing wires, well,
	you should look in a mirror honey chile
	I ain’t your baby anymore

	I take cream in my coffee, sugar in my tea
	you still don’t know anything about me
	too bad you didn’t take the time to understand
	‘cause you’d still be my woman and I’d still be your man

	I ain’t a trophy you can hang upon your wall
	I ain’t your gofer so don’t call for me at all
        I ain’t a doormat or the carpet on your floor
	I ain’t your baby anymore

I Ain't Your Baby (cover)

This is a another cover of a Neumann/Zueff song which is on Colleen Neumann's CD “You Put the Song in My Heart”

Songwriters:   Colleen Neumann, Don Zueff and Eric Zueff.

Lyrics:
	Woke up this morning, crawled out of bed
	Echoes of a sleepless night still ringing in my head
	Put on my dancing shoes waltzed on out the door
	You won’t be seeing this boy any more

	Dreams of loneliness still swirling through my mind
	It seems so cruel that love’s so hard to find
	I searched all the spaces in this awful lonesome place
	But all I ever find are shadows of yesterday

	It’s way past time and I just can’t stay here
	Can’t wear my feelings like a mask for you my dear
	It’s just impossible to live the way we do
	I’m so sorry but it’s feeling like we’re through

	Got up this morning and left it all behind
	Decided I was better off to leave for good this time
	So now I’m out the door and dancing down the street
	Gone from your life for good and the freedom’s feeling sweet

	So now I’m out the door and dancing down the street
	Gone from your life for good

Feeling Like We're Through

Feeling Like We're Through (cover)

Album:    Epiphany on Mount D

Featuring Klaus Fricke on electric guitar.

     This piece was written for use at local “jam sessions” -  this is the first time it has been recorded as a song .   It is built on complementary bass and piano riffs - everything else is, and has always has been, negotiable.   The lyrics are, in sentiment, though I think not in poetic quality, pretty much one with Percy Bysshe Shelley's timeless poem, “Ozymandias”.
The solos feature electric guitar, courtesy of Klaus Fricke, at the beginning, with a resonator guitar (my good old el-cheapo SX) added later.
For those unfamiliar with Klaus' work, I do encourage you to check out his SoundCloud website: https://soundcloud.com/klaus-fricke-543916942.


Lyrics:
     how many evenings have I sat alone
     alone and waiting for the dawn
     and how many hours have passed by my throne
     how many seasons come and gone

     once I was mighty, to my palace all came
     to bask in my presence and my gold  
     kingdoms and nations: pawns in a game
     mine to command and to control

     strong in my power, my wealth and my fame
     I thought I’d rule eternally
     but now I am forgotten, none remember my name
     I am dust in the ruins of history

     how many evenings have I sat alone
     alone and waiting for the dawn
     how many phantoms have passed by my throne
     how many seasons come and gone

Epiphany at Mount D

Forgotten (featuring Klaus Fricke)

When Adelmo Silva, a Brazilian musician, asked if I would be interested in a collaboration I jumped at the chance.   I had heard some of his work on SC and been impressed with his command of electronic music, particularly EDM.   So, I sent him a recording of a song I had been working on for some years but was never happy with.
	Adelmo took the vocal (which I had recorded in A major), and placed it in his own arrangement (in the key of F minor).  Thus the vocal is in A major but the instrumentation in F minor.   Somehow, and I don't know how, this works!   I added a couple of guitar tracks, some extra percussion, and voila! - the song magically came together.
	Sometime in the future I will post a recording of the original (A major) arrangement, with the same lead vocal track..

	Adelmo can be found in SC at:
		   https://soundcloud.com/adelmolive
	I highly recommend giving his music a listen.

Lyrics:
	I never had no passion and I never had no cool
	I never learnt a trade and I couldn’t finish school
	I never got to travel and I never saw the light
        but I gotta get some action and I gotta getta a life

	I gotta find enlightenment and learn some cosmic things
	and I gotta have a reason to laugh and dance and sing
	but I’m dying on the dole, cannot find a good career
	and I’m running out of money so I gotta get outta here

	now I wanna be a pop star, and have a hit or two
	and I wanna getta habit, cause that’s what pop stars do
	and I wanna be a S.O.B., and drink and screw and curse
	and when my fans get wind of it, I wanna make it worse

	I gotta get some status, gotta getta female friend
	and I gotta have a party where the good times never end
	and I gotta getta Cadillac and drive it all around
	impressing all the sheilas with the power of my sound

	I gotta getta, I gotta getta, I gotta getta
        I gotta getta, gotta get outa ...

Not For Sale

I Gotta Getta

I Gotta Getta with ADELMO

This song began life in 1953 as a rumba entitled: “¿Quién será?” by Mexican composer Luis Demetrio.   Norman Gimbel added English lyrics and in 1954 the song, renamed “Sway” became a hit for Dean Martin.
	“Sway” has since been recorded by many artists, most notably Shaft in 1999, and Micheal Buble in 2003.
	My version has moved away from Buble's extravagant stage version towards a more acoustic but still danceable, maybe, sound.   Anyhow, it is a great song and I hope this version does not put you off.

Sway  (cover)

After successfully collaborating on a song called “I Gotta Getta” in December 2017 (https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/i-gotta-getta-with-adelmo) Adelmo and I started another project which, for one reason ar another, we abandoned before completion.   I recently picked up the pieces, stitched them together as well as I could, and the result is this track.
	The project was nameless but, as the lyrics I used included the appropriate concept, I chose to use the Portuguese phrase for nameless, “Sem Nome”, as the title.
	The musical concept, percussion and electronics are Adelmo's.   The lyrics, vocals and guitars are mine.
	You can find more of Adelmo's music at: 	https://soundcloud.com/adelmolive

Lyrics:
	all things are not quite so senseless
	that they seem a wasted cartoon
	in the minds of those who are nameless
	is the thought that love is a vacuum

	for all that you know there are moments
	so profound they test your belief
	but you let those feelings pass by you
	seconds on a sea of centuries

Collaboration between Dave(warfydave) Cooper and Ken Minty.

     It is unusual for me to post another track so soon after the last one (6 days in this case).
      Dave originally sent me a rhythm guitar and vocal scat for this song.    Using the ideas I heard in his scat I put down some lyrics. We passed the song back and forth a couple of times and in only a few days were able to post a final result.   Rarely do things work so well and so fast for me, but there was something in Dave's track that captivated me.    Hope you enjoy our combined effort.

Dave Cooper - Acoustic guitar, Bass, Drums and Backing Vocals.
Ken Minty - Vocal and Lap Steel Guitar.

Falling Apart

Falling Apart w Dave Cooper

Keitonie and I came into contact with each other a few months back and discussion between us inevitably turned towards collaboration.   Keit is a blues guitarist of considerable ability, so I put down a track based on a jazz/blues riff and sent it to him.   The guitar track he sent back was remarkable.
	The lyrics of an acoustic/folk-type song, which I had been doing for some years, called “The Second Revelation of Palimsest Doglycouth” perfectly matched the track we had set down … and it sounded (to me) completely new and adventurous.   I hope you find this recording as much fun to listen to as it was to record.

	The guitar is Keitonie, I am responsible (for good or bad) for all the rest.

Lyrics:
	you know I live in a well where evolution swells and a great Melchizedek rules
	and a Thought Adjuster dwells and my mind is compelled to treat it as a spiritual tool
	well there are Sentinels, Cherubim, Angelic souls and Seraphim and Midwayers working here too
	and there are red men green men yellow guys and orange eyes and other people coloured blue
	and the name of my earth is a name that gave birth to my spirit and I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	well I live in a local system governed by administration great and good and spiritually wise
	and the local system’s part of a greater constellation that is minded by ten types of Most Highs
	and that’s within a universe where Satan’s last and Michael’s first and disembodied Will Creatures 	thrive
	and over all’s the superverse where all small pretensions burst and Adam and Eve are alive
	and the name of my place, for the sake of my race, is a secret but I spell it this way
	aith a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	there are Trinities, Infinities, Realities, Divinities, Beauty and Truth and Play
	there are Eternals, Ancients, Perfections and Recents, Unions and Faithful of Days
	we got Tertiaphim, Omniaphim, Class Three Seconaphim and all the Material Sons
	it’s a complicated nation, just one huge congregation, and I’ll tell it to anyone
	and the name of my home, if you’ve listened to my poem, is myself, though I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	and the name of my earth is a name that gave birth to my spirit and I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

The Second Revelation W Keitonie

About what happens after the main event is over

Gary McDowell's Album

The Aftermath

A short instrumental Victoriana mood piece composed on piano keys set to accompany Magdalen Green and Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly on the forthcoming album 'Short Stories From Magdalen Green'. It has some simplistic echoes of my favourite classical composers Erik Satie, Frederic Chopin and Philip Glass.

I once saw a short film time lapse of a flower growing from seed, to seedling, blooming and then withering. That's my thought behind this fairly rudimentary experimental piece, that it grows meekly, rises up to a full bloom and then descends slowly in notes and harmony before its ultimate end. It was a period of existence, a complete story, a time. 

The 1969 plays piano keys. Mixed and produced by The 1969. Additional mastering by John Marc Bimonte at Sharp Guy Productions.

Recorded July-November 2018.

Texte Français et Google traduction

JE PREFERE EN RIRE

Elle m’a dit
Tu vois bien tes valises
Sur le seuil posées
Ras le bol de tes crises
Avant fallait penser
Je n’ai rien eu à dire
Elle était trop fâchée
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Il m’a dit
Jamais de découvert
Pour vous c’est interdit
Y’a plus qu’une chose à faire
S’il vous reste des amis
Je n’ai pas pu rien dire
Sa porte s’est refermée
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Ils m’ont dit
Vous êtes allé trop vite
Ici c’est limité
Plutôt que prendre la fuite
J’ai voulu m’expliquer
Je n’ai pas pu leur dire
Nom du père et papiers
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Je m’suis dit
Je suis bien mal barré
Et personne ne m’écoute
Que des ennuis posés
En travers de ma route
Je n’ai plus qu’à me dire
Prends çà du bon côté
Et je préfère en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
Et je préfère en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

I PREFER TO LAUGH

She said
You see your suitcases
On the threshold asked
Get out of your fits
Before had to think
I did not have anything to say
She was too angry
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

He told me
Never discovered
For you it's forbidden
There's more than one thing to do
If you still have friends
I could not say anything
Her door closed
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

They told me
You went too fast
Here it is limited
Rather than flee
I wanted to explain myself
I could not tell them
Father's name and papers
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

I told myself
I am badly barred
And nobody listens to me
What troubles posed
Across the road
I just have to tell myself
Take it on the right side
And I prefer to laugh rather than crying
And I prefer to laugh rather than crying

J'AI PREFERE EN RIRE (Petite chanson marrante)

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

A cover by Lotty, my 11-year-old niece

Une reprise de Selena Gomez par Lotty, ma nièce de 11 ans.

Kill Em with Kindness (cover by Lotty, my niece)

Written by singer/songwriter Hamilton Camp in 1964, this song was most famously covered by Gordon Lightfoot (1966) and Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968).
Perhaps not as well known as other apocalyptic protest songs of the time, such as “In the Year 2525”  (Xager & Evans 1969), “It's Good News Week”  (Hedgehoppers Anonymous 1965), and “The Eve of Destruction”  (P F Sloan 1964) it has never the less survived the last half century, delivering a message still relevant to our times.
I recorded this somewhat over-the-top version for no other reason than I really like the song.

Lyrics:
turn around, go back down, back the way you came
can’t you see that flash of fire, ten times brighter than the day
and behold, a mighty city, broken in the dust again
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt’s buried in her shame
their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have fallen in the ways
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
terror is on every side, all the leaders are dismayed
for those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

turn around, go back down, back the way you came
shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
on Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
it shall cause thy towers to fall in a sea of fire and flame
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again

oh thou that dwell on many waters rich in treasure wide in fame
bow unto a god of gold, thy pride and might shall be thy shame
oh god, the pride of man lies broken in the dust again
and only god can lead the people back onto the earth again

thy holy mountain be restored
thy mercy on thy people Lord

été paradisiaque :

A long road, and waiting again
Happy for the day, Happy for the sun
A long road, and waiting again
Happy for the day, we don't need money

l'été fait de son mieux
pour tomber les barrières
petit air mélodieux
une coutume familière

instinct paternel et chaleureux
réverbération sur l'eau, rayon solaire
des lunettes sur les yeux
un verre pour oublier l'hiver

colorer la peaux ça rend heureux
désir primaire au bord de la mer
oublie ce qui rend nerveux
être léger c'est populaire
la chaleur rend amoureux
un peu de bonheur éphémère
énergie positive et nécessaire

un petit clin d'oeil à la vie
dans ce décor paradisiaque
les poissons clowns sont mes amis
je m'assoupi dans mon hamac

derrière les dunes, tout se dévoile
et l'odeur du sable chaud
le vent vient caresser les voiles
en courbant et balayant les roseaux

parfois la chaleur donne des frissons
avec un léger gout de miel
pensif devant un papillon
aux couleurs de l'arc en ciel

In english :
summer is doing its best
to break down the barriers
melodious air
a familiar custom

paternal and warm instinct
reverberation on the water, solar ray
glasses on the eyes
a drink to forget the winter

to color the skin makes you happy
primary desire at the seaside
forget what makes you nervous
to be light is popular
the heat makes you in love
a little ephemeral happiness
positive and necessary energy

a little nod to life
in this heavenly setting
clown fish are my friends
I fell asleep in my hammock

behind the dunes, everything is revealed
and the smell of hot sand
the wind comes to caress the sails
curving and sweeping the reeds

sometimes the heat gives chills
with a slight taste of honey
thoughtful in front of a butterfly
in the colors of the rainbow

'Mistakes' is nothing more or less than a simple love song. Melodic and a little bit edgy, just like Cindy and me. Alt rock meets dream pop. Thank you everyone for listening and supporting Para Lia!

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

As most musicians know you have to get licensing permission from the publisher of any song if you want to stream your cover version on Spotify, Apple Music etc. and if you want radio play. Also if you change any of the lyrics you also have to get permission. Imagine my surprise when Chuck Berry’s Publishers gave me the OK to change several of the words in this classic tune!
Needless to say “Johnny B. Goode” is considered one of the most recognizable songs in Popular music. It is credited as the first Rock ’n Roll song about Rock ’n Roll stardom. My version of this classic was deeply influenced by Peter Tosh. An interesting side note - when Chuck Berry originally wrote this song he changed “coloured boy” to “country boy” to ensure radio play.

Johnny B. Goode - Cover - Reggae Version

Rodgers and Hart's “Blue Moon”, written in 1934, has been covered by so many great artists in so many distinctive styles that I shall not even attempt to list them.   The song was written in 4:4 and all the versions I have been able to find are recorded in 4:4.
Somewhere, and I do not remember where or by whom, I heard a version in 6:8 - if anyone can enlighten me, PLEASE DO!   At any rate, as a soloist, I would do the song in 6:8 because it just swung so naturally in that meter.
More recently while comparing the 4:4 and 6:8 versions of the song, I began to wonder if it could also be done convincingly in 7:8.   Hence this recording.
It consistes of 3 iterations, one in 8:8, one in 7:8 and one in 6:8.   To give the recording more depth and consistency, I asked Dan (ProgRockDan) Lockhart to check it out and add whatever he thought the track could use.   He very kindly, and promptly, did so.   Many thanks Dan!
The lead vocal, the rhythm guitar and the bass guitar are mine, Dan added percussion, the choral background and the instrumental orchestration.
At 6 and a half minutes, this is a long and somewhat repetitive track, but, those with an interest in vocal phrasing and comparative ambience might find some reward in listening right through to the end.

Time Enough (Feat. DeadLover80, Thom Dust)

By Deadlover80(https://soundcloud.com/deadlover80), Thom Dust(https://soundcloud.com/ask0the0dust) and Tainted Icarus

Lyrics
Another wasted day with nothing to show
Looking for a distraction or two before I have to go

Until then  there's 
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah

Another wasted year going round and round
Looking for those enlightened few but nothing have I found

Until then there's
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah

And here's to hoping that somewhere I will find
Something to bring some meaning into this life of mine
Life of mine
Life of mine

Time enough until it's gone oh yeah
Until it's gone

What's the time Mr. Wolf


Notes:
There is so much back story on this track that it could probably be a small book.  The riff that spawned it all was called 942 and for a while no one could remember who even did the original scratch tracking. Jay and I went back and forth blaming the other.   I was thumbing through our dropbox felt inspired did a quick vocal recording and the entire crew united to stitch together a rough demo.. one verse one chorus.. and it sat while life happened.   

Fast forward 10 months, Jay and I were doing our semi regular Skype sessions, and Jay says we need to get back to work on music,  let me give Thom a ring and see if he is up for that.  I said sure.. we have a dropbox full of stuff... the rest as they say,  is history.  

In my story with this piece of art, the thing that sticks out was Jay's insistence on me taking the lead vocal.  Even today he says... "I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it"... what an honor to have that spot with these guys....Thank you friends... it means a lot to have you guys supporting me.  Cheers!!

Lastly is our budding young recording artist who finishes the song off... Thank you young lady for joining us! 

These guys busted their butts and we pushed the boundaries again and hit a mark that has me feeling proud of the end result.  Normally I would run down the list of credits but in this case,  this song doesn't exist without each of us providing critical pieces that makes it work.  So regardless who is on what, with what,  Jay, Thom and I created this and each of us was required to birth this thing into the world.  

Jay, Thom as I have said many times before, feel lucky to know you guys,  glad to call you friends and I am certainly loving this "Tainted Dead Dust" thing we got going on.  We have a whole drop box of ideas to start working on... so take a break recharge and let's crack on!! 

I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor...Until then!
 
Peace and love brothers and sisters!

Lyrics

Verse 1
The demons inside your head, they're on fire
It's making it hard to fake your smile
you're cool on love, it's breaking you down
it's a simple life, in this heartbreak town 

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Verse 2
You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time
It's making it hard to fake your smile

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Drive time

dreaming 
in detail
as we go on 
with this scene
for too long
i have been buried
by a cover of illusion
for too long
well, the sound of your name
brings me back
to a real state
for your joy
it is reflecting
and confusing
dreaming in detail
dreaming
well, we are dreaming
in detail

My Music Videos

In the long run time gets its way
And the tears fall down like rain
In the short run night follows day
But I can't hide from the pain

Oh no

If you show me how life could work
It's a sign from up above
When you go there into the world
From my own flesh into love

You go

All The Joys

Flesh

Oh let me in 
Anyway you can
Oh let me in 
I'll try to understand

Oh give me one more chance
I know how that sounds
I promise on my life
This time I'll stay around

I've tried to see the best in you 
I tried to pull down walls
But I'm a voice in the wilderness
No one hears at all

Oh don't freeze me out
I've nowhere left to hide
Oh don't close me out now
I need to be inside

I've played out all my cards
My options have all gone
I used the bank of you
And now I'm overdrawn

I've tried to see the best in you 
I tried to pull down walls
But I'm a voice in the wilderness
No one hears at all

A Voice In The Wilderness

Ne reste que ton regard 
Quand ta silhouette s'efface dans le brouillard.
Loin des murmures, des rumeurs de la ville, qui s'embrase.
On est là, presque bien
Un soupçon un embrun
C'est presque bien
C'est presque rien.
Et quand on sera trop vieux
On pourra dire adieu à nos chagrins.

Ô
On est bien comme ça !
On est bien comme ça !
Jamais jamais ne changera.
Aussi loin aussi haut
On s'aime en courant...
On s'aime en continu...
On s'aime... En courant continu.
On s'aime... Continue... Continue !..

Nous deux, c'est hémorragique.
Presque tragique
En infusion en transfusion on ne sait pas
On est malade on ira pas plus loin.
On n'ira pas plus loin.
Dans mes phares se dessinent des lueurs d'espoirs.

Ô
On n'ira pas plus loin.
On n'ira pas plus loin.
Jamais jamais ne changera.
Jamais jamais ne changera.
On n'ira pas plus loin
ni plus ni moins
On n'ira pas plus loin
On se haïra de loin.

L'amour en continu [Tulipe, Wypernet & Lukowig]

I definitely had to include this song on my cover album. An all-time classic written by Ben. E. King - this song has withstood the test of time and has been recorded by over 700 artists. When Mr. King passed away in April 2015 he was survived by his wife of 51 years. I wonder how many times he thought of her when he was performing this song - ‘cause to the very end he stood by her and she stood by him.

Get The Whole Album

Auralnauts & She's Excited! – Skywalker (The Force Theme) from "Star Wars: Dark Side EP"

Get Up Get Down

This song was written by one of Australia's greatest songwriters, Archie Roach, in 1990 and was included in his first album “Charcoal Lane”.   I have seen Archie live many times – he gives such great performances that I was a bit dubious about posting my own version of his song.   I justify the posting on two grounds: one, this is not one of Archie's best known songs, and, two, I have done this song many times in small venues.
	 If you wish to hear what this song really should sound like, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wy9sxcxOFU for Archie Roach's original version.

Lyrics:
	Sitting here in a lonely old guest house
	I'm sure that my life is all through
	Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
	and making love to the memory of you

	For without you I'm weak and uncertain
	And I feel so naked and cold
	Like a window without any curtains
	My innermost feelings unfold

	The drink I just had
	It wasn't as bad as the first
	But drinking won't do
	When it's only for you I thirst

	For your kiss it quenches all burning
	It's sweeter than the sweetest of wine
	Now you're gone I find myself yearning
	For the love that I left behind

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied

	Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
	And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
	I lied. I lied.
