Very nice vibe with this song - Happy New Year!

やっぱりここの解決の仕方、最高ですね。落ち着きます。

いいですね！フィッシュマンズみたいだったり、フリッパーズみたいだったり、たまみたいだったり、それらが昇華されて、kotoriさんのオリジナルになっててとても良いなぁと思いました！

絶妙なグルーブ。CityPopなビートに切なくもあたたまる歌詞が溶け合うほろ苦い傑作ラブソングだと思います！

Flying Whale

Poem: by Emily Dickinson (Hope. from 1862)
Hope is so beautifully described in Emily Dickinson's poem. Hope, like a fragile bird, or like a storm. The hope we carry within us.
Piano , keys, and instrumental composition: Yann Kifer @annkifer

Thank you so much for this JOY Yann. Thank you from my heart.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (10. desember 1830- 15. mai 1886)

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

'"Hope" is the thing with feathers is one of the best known of Emily Dickinson's poems. An extended metaphor, it likens the concept of hope to a feathered bird that is permanently perched in the soul of every human. There it sings, never stopping in its quest to inspire.

Emily Dickinson wrote this poem in 1862, a prolific year for her poetry, one of nearly 1,800 poems she penned during her lifetime. Only seven of these were published while she was still alive. Her sister, Lavinia, collected and helped publish all of her poems after Emily's death in 1886.

Her poetry was highly original but was dismissed or simply misunderstood when she sent her work out for appraisal or publication. It was only after she had passed away and her poems circulated more widely that critics began to appreciate her genius.

雨の日の相合傘。二人とも照れながら歩く。
会話の糸口を探すけれど見つからず、
ビニール傘に打ちつける雨音だけを聴いている。
僕たちだけの世界・・・あと一言が言えたら・・
という曲です。
(2021/12/26 voを録り直し。バランスどうかな？)
(2022/1/5　少しだけBassにReverbをかけました。Voが聴き取りやすくなった気がする。)

On a rainy day, you and I share an umbrella and go home. Walk while being shy.
I searched for a clue to the conversation, but I couldn't find it.
I only listen to the sound of rain hitting a vinyl umbrella.
It's a world only for us ... If I could say one more word ...
It is a song called.
(2021/12/26 Re-recording vo. How about the balance?)
(2022/1/5 I applied Reverb to Bass a little. I feel that Vo has become easier to hear.)

■歌詞
『ビニール傘の下で』

ビニール傘を　ノック　する　音を聴いている　僕たち　さっき　からずっと
見上げてごらんよ　雨の雫が　僕達の上　奇麗だよ

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

ひたすら　雨
(A little embarrassed to look down)

傘を持つ　手を近づけたら　君が僕に触れて
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

二人だけのワンダーランド　水たまりをよけながら
あたりは夜になって　イルミネーション

ビニール傘の　下で　見る　君のマフラーの　巻き方が好きだ
顔を少し埋めて　白い息なんか吐いてる　僕と同じタイミングで

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

ひたすら　雨
君の事　守るよ　そんな事　言える雰囲気
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you…But i love you)

傘の下のワンダーランド　魔法がかかってリタルダンド
いまでは僕たちの世界は　スローモーション

On a rainy day.for us.僕らの　雨
君は言った　「もうすぐ魔法が解けてしまうね」

もう少しだけのワンダーランド　僕のそばにいてMy Girl
このまま　君を連れて行きたい　そう言えたらよかった

I want you to stay with me forever(ずっとそばにいてほしいって)
We couldn't say that one word(僕たちその一言が言えなかった)
Memories of a very old rainy day(とても古い雨の日の思い出)

"Under a vinyl umbrella"

We have been listening to the sound of knocking on a vinyl umbrella since a while ago

Look up, the raindrops are beautiful on our side.

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

Rain earnestly
(A little embarrassed to look down)

Hold my umbrella When I bring my hand closer, you touch me
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

Wonderland for only two people while avoiding puddles
Illuminations around the night

I like how you wrap your muffler, which you see under a vinyl umbrella
You bury your face a little and exhale white
At the same timing as me

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

Rain earnestly
I want to protect you forever from now on
Atmosphere that can say such a thing
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you… But i love you)

Wonderland under the umbrella Magical Ritaldando
Now our world is in slow motion

On a rainy day.for us. Our rain
You said, "The magic will soon be solved."

A little more wonderland, beside me, My Girl
I want to take you as it is I wish I could say so

I want you to stay with me forever
We couldn't say that one word
Memories of a very old rainy day

How To Lie With Statistics.  2021 Janine Levinson

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
And add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
You make it so
You smooth it out
If you don't speak
Don't say the word
Then it won't be

May it never be

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe in average

And so you speak
You speak the word
Then everyone is indistinct
The twenty-four, the ninety-three
The thirty-five, the seventeen

And not a one will hear his name
But instead will stand in line
And just because the world is round
Will join their hands and always rhyme

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe the averages

Average things in a special design
Special things in an average design
Some times in your life, in your lifetime
Special things in a special design

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
You add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
And wonder what
What can it mean
To then divide 
To find the mean
Of ninety five and seventeen

The sound of the word makes you average
When you say the word it makes you average
I don't believe in average

Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

I strained my wrist playing guitar while practicing a new piece I hope to post in a month or two. For us guitarists, holding a large stretch (in this case a 5 fret stretch on the third fret) for periods of time can cause problems! (Guitar players nodding their heads right now 😊). Anyhoo, I can’t play my guitar at the moment, so I decided to freshen up a short piece I had on SC from a few years ago. It’s very simple, a musical meditation, towards peace; the dove of peace carries this message, through many cultures and religions. Peace is needed now, more than ever. Hope you may spend 2 minutes with me to meditate. 
PS. Wasn't able to master this with clarity, so headphones/earphones best.

In recent years I have the habit of converting poems into songs and here is one of them which is based on “Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe.  It was said that this poem was never published in his lifetime.  I think I first shared this song here about four years ago.  In this version, I enhanced the backing music and did the vocals all over again.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
From childhood's time I’ve not been
As others were, I have not seen
As others saw, I could not bring
My passions from a common spring

From the same source I've not taken
My sorrow, I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I loved, I loved alone

[CHORUS]
Then, in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still
The torrent or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
in its autumn tint of gold

From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by
From the thunder and the storm
And the cloud that took the form

Repeat Chorus

Autumn Tint of Gold

ON A COOL SPRING DAY IN LONDON TOWN
I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HYDE PARK HOTEL
WHEN AN OLD BLACK CAB CAME SLOWING DOWN
AND THEN SHE POPPED OUT LIKE TINKER BELL

A FEW CASUAL WORDS ABOUT THE WEATHER
STILL
I REMEMBER THEM UNTIL TODAY
AND HELLO GOODBYE FOREVER
EXCEPT WHAT HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY
MUCH TO MY SURPRISE

THERE SHE WAS AND THERE WAS I
THAT’S WHEN THE DEAL TEAM BECAME A DREAM TEAM
OH YEAH

AND IT WAS LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT
A TWO TIMES HEART REACTION
THE REST MY FRIENDS IS HISTORY

NOW THE YEARS FLEW BY LIKE A RIVER 
AND THE TEAM STILL STANDS ON ITS FEET
LONDON MOSCOW DUBAI AND DENVER
LIZ YOU AND I CAN’T BE BEAT

OTIS TESSA AND MILO
A BERNEDOODLE NOT JUST A POODLE
OH NO

I LOVE A LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT
A TWO TIMES HEART REACTION
AND THE REST MY FRIENDS IS MYSTERY

FUNNY I SPEAK IF I WERE YOU, MAN
COS I GUESS I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
TO HAVE THE MOST WONDERFUL WOMAN
NOT TO FORGET ALEX AND WILL 
OH NO

AND IT’S LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT
I LOVE A LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT…

LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT  (Lyrics) Song for Liz

Hey…. So I put down the slide guitar the other day, and picked up the mandolin after a slide solo wasn’t working. Then did this little song. A rather surreal look at the metaphysics of stars as they relate to us. Occasionally, we are at a loss to make sense of this life. I find perspective in observing the night sky, among other things, even if for only a brief moment. Hanging out with others helps too. So does playing music. I usually laugh at myself in those moments and realize just how fascinating life can be. I mentioned this story before, but in a different context. I have been ‘caretaking’ a fire ant colony for over twenty years. The common sense of today’s world would seek to destroy the colony, as labeling them as ‘nuisance pests’ comes with a dire consequence for the ants. Fire ants bite only to get a grip and then sting (from the abdomen) and inject a toxic alkaloid venom called solenopsin. Anyway, the colony had been in my neighbor’s yard decades ago, and I did my best to encourage him not to destroy the colony. But after seeing a friend of his riding over the colony with a riding lawn mower, I knew the colony was doomed if it stayed there. Then one day, while emptying the kitchen compost bucket into the compost pile, I saw a long trail of fire ants coming from my neighbor’s yard into mine. They had begun to build a mound near a brush pile in the back. So the ants have been here for 5 years or so. Sure, they may strip an aspen sapling bare, or try and sneak into my vegetable garden, but for the most part, they have been good neighbors. They have come out of their mound now that it is a little warmer. I was cleaning up the gardens in the back, and noticed hundreds of them working on their mound. I looked yesterday and I saw this one ant carrying a large twig, way bigger than him, on top of the mound. As he walked, the twig was waving back and forth like a sword raised in the air. I laughed (to myself) and realized it had been a while since I had done so. This song is about all those little things in life, like that, that bring us back…. Hope you like it. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Frida's Wings – The Valse 
April 2024
Duration: 3:10
Painting: Frida Kahlo Painting Self Portrait.
Remix of Vals Alejandra by Enrique Mora
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing Frida's Wings, a ballet based on the life and works of Frida Kahlo, June 2024 in Colorado.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”
For strings, piano, accordion and percussion.

Voices in my head
Takes control of me
Cruel things they say
They tell me how to be..

I use my body
So i don't have to think
To force them away
I dance and I drink..

To force them away
I dance and i drink

To force them away
I dance and i drink
