wow uncle didn't think you'll drop two like this

A song written in a low time looking forward to things getting better (which they did!)

Winters Snows

Troubled hearts in troubled times
Breaking, the ties that bind us
A darkened wood, a crooked path
That we must leave behind us
For yesterday took what it took
Tomorrow is an open book
Maybe the day that lady luck will come
And find us, and find us

(Chorus)
Oh, maybe. Oh, maybe
Our day will come, our day will come

Got to keep fighting
Got to keep, keep on trying
So sing our song, my precious son
And build a will of iron
Too soon you will become a man
Your future lies within your hands
For you were born under the stars Ram sign
Your birthing stone, a diamond

(Chorus)

And winter’s snows will melt away
When soft rain is falling
And all the clouds over our house
Will blow away one morning
And the breeze will bring us better days
Shining through the filtered haze
We will feel the scattered rays again
So warming, so warming

(Chorus)

Are you ardent?
In the MADNESS of war
Guarding his life with your DEATH
His SONG on your breath
Your LOVE for Him filling your heart
Are you still wild?
Can you take command?
O will you join the attack?
Fire true from horseback?
Let us ride all ye Redhats
& fill afternoon with our arrows
High & aloft
Fighting forever for Ekkor our God
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of SONG from Hemlock now!

HEM

Centuries ago
On the shores of the world
Travelers tossed by a fault
Neath an ocean of salt
Washed up without bearings nor hope
And the Holy Forest throng
The uncanny birdsong
Called to them more than the reach
They abandoned the beach
Wandered into the trees
Where they joined in the chorus forever
Drifting in time
Castaways wed to the Wood
Speech & destinies all but forsaken
For music & rhyme
Artistic extremes and dreams leporine
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of DEATH from Fury now!

FUR

I recall my first
Far from my worst
A man from the bigotted hordes
A Captain of sorts
At the Battle of Dáktylir
Fire had snapped my bow
So I rode him down
Drove him into a red oak
As he slashed at my throat
I crushed him back into the
Trunk with Ontario’s shoulder
Till his breastbone exploded
& a hundred branchfuls of snow
Shook down like confectioners’ sugar
His blood on my face
His dying eyes marking who’d furnished his fate
Are you ardent?
Let us hear a tale of MADNESS from Christoffel now!

TOF

Ah, quei giorni utopici giù in Toscana!
La poesia!
La musica senza finale!
Gallegiando sul maestrale!
E tanti amici demenziale!
Feci caprioli su Cheope in la piazza,
Tutt’applaudirono!
E por un solo momento,
Io sapevo cosa significa
Essere veramente singolare,
La bella del ballo, 
La Eterodossa!
Una sopra, n’una tra, billione
Cast’e doverosa ragazze scout in le gonne marrone.
Sei appassionata?
Let us hear a tale of LOVE from Hobby now!

HOB

O ye think me proud
But I know a tale
Round which your others will pale
All that SONG on your breath
All your MADNESS & DEATH
Very well, I will tell of a love so pure
Yet so insecure
Nothing could come of it but
Rivers of blood
A testament cut
In the breast of the mountain forever
A carving away
A breathlessly penitent hush
In the Song of the Forest forever
A pining away
A beautiful, terrible rush
To the depths of Creation forever
A falling away
A hopelessness manifest just
In the drape of an arm round a shoulder
& a heart that would break
But that it meant never seeing that face again...
Are ye ardent?

Are You Ardent?

Today (15.12.2023) is the 62nd birthday of Nick Beggs, former bassist and singer of the famous eighties-band kajagoogoo.
Nick is a fantastic bassplayer and great artist in general. Nowadays he tours with Howard Jones and Steve Wilson to name a few and also is collaborating in several band projects.

I did this cover a while ago but decided to release it here today on behalf of his birthday.
So give it up for Nick Beggs! 👏 Cheers and happy birthday! 🎁🥂🍻
