An Auspicious Day

V1:

Our good Queen Elizabeth

Bereft of mother while so young

Has weathered slingshots of outrageous fortune:

Wise has she become

She kept her wits, maintained her cool

Let no one play her for a fool

Over us has she proved fit to rule

V2:

Her coronation day they say

Was calculated by John Dee

Astronomer, astrologer

With the insight to foresee

With the planets right-aligned

Fortuitous would be the signs

To crown our sparkling jewel in her prime

*****Break*****

V3:

'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown':

So goes the famous quote

Fraught is rule, so full of danger:

Readily is that head smote

Discretion our Queen Bess learned fast:

Made sacrifices to the last:

All dreams of marriage consigned to the past

V4:

And auspicious was that

January 1559:

Gloriana cheered by London crowds

So dignified her might

And her regal status, power:

Woman of the hour

Her 'Golden Age' long reign saw England flower

An Auspicious day

An Auspicious Day

I am a great admirer of Jonathan's work and when he approached me with this wonderful piece of music asking if I might have a go at lyrics and a vocal I felt really privileged. I wanted to try to do as good a job as I could, but initially I struggled, and then, feeling extremely despondent I took a break from it. On my second attempt I think I started to listen properly to what the music was saying – rather than imposing too much of myself on it – and I  began to get melodies and word patterns that seemed like they were there under the surface already.

This has been an amazing project to work on, and Jonathan has been hugely supportive throughout. I've done my bit for sure, but it would have been nothing without the music.

Last night I dreamed that I could play the guitar
I was on The Titanic trying to sing
My heart will still go on
But I kept getting it wrong and
I couldn't get the high notes but
At least we hadn't hit the iceberg yet and

All the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try

I was studying Kate Winslet
She was standing by a ventilation inlet
In a girly dress despite the cold and
I could see that she was not impressed
By my extraordinary rendition
I said you're looking nice and
I need relationship advice and she replied
Let's take a walk on the starboard side

And the stars above us shone
Like cheap sequins in the sky
Like they'd all just been stuck on
By someone who didn't try
When life's too flattering too sweet
We all like to pretend
But we all know how it ends

We're listing to port and
Kate's politely listening as
I'm listing all the things I should have said to you but
Never did
And realistically I think she's thinking
Less about you and me and
Rather more about the fact that
We've all started sinking yeah
Into the unforgiving sea oh

But the stars above us shone...
