The absence 
Of presumption
Is not
My gumption
But
To embrace
My function.
The introduction
Reconstruction
Induction
A conjunction
Past 
Obstruction
Construction
By abduction
The seduction
My divine
Hyperfunction
Becomes my
Redemption
The entrance
Into
Non-duality.
This reality
Of possibility
Illusionary
Neutrality
Representing
My mortality’s
Awareness
Of
Immortality.
In generality
The brutality
And liberality
Part of
Normality
Or some
Formality
Of equanimity

My reality
Is the expansion
Of my soul
As I become
A golden pillar
Standing
In the center
Immaculateness
To vacuousness
Just damn foolishness
The bliss
With my function
Of forgiveness.

To let illusion go,
Is 
the point
We should not miss.
Gandhi's passiveness
In the face of
What had to 
Be witnessed,
From light
To matter
It’s the duality
That shatters
The blockage 
Of the mind
From within.

My reality
Is the expansion
Of my soul
As I become
A golden pillar
Standing
In the center
Immaculateness
To vacuousness
Just damn foolishness
The bliss
With my function
Of forgiveness.

It’s not 
Where you go
Or
Where you’ve been
It’s just a mind
That sees no sin
Or
Time
Controlling
The light within.
It’s the universal norm
Not the perception
Of our forms.
“Through 
The transformation
Of awareness
Into form
Each thing
Attains
Its
Nature.”

So Beautiful Under The Moonlight - Prod. Lillithe

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

A friendly visit would be greatly appreciated :)


The greatest rainbow it ain't so bad
it stretches longer from the sky into your head

the greatest rainbow it moves so slow
it forms a bridge that goes from your heart into my soul

the strongest rainbow it never stops
it hacks the world and sometimes gets to block the clocks

the mightiest rainbow it never ends
you can just follow it, it leads to another land

The greatest rainbow

There is a beautiful trapeze artist woman. She is climbing the infinite staircase.

She grips the wood that the ropes grab.

Reflect, dismiss the thoughts and jump into the void.

They pick her up, shake her, make her go round and round, but there is always someone to pick her up.

The beautiful dancer is left alone coming and going, preparing the large number.

Silence becomes a rampage, and she, the queen, flies and flies and flies.

Like someone who returns from a trip, shoots the public a loving smile and 3 kisses.

This Cinematic-style Celtic Fantasy is loosely based around an ancient Celtic gathering on Lindisfarne and had me researching the Common Brittonic language to get some interesting 'Foley' sounds.  It was spoken in Britain and Brittany and eventually developed into Old Welsh, Cumbric, Cornish, and Breton.  It also features my long suffering wife who over time has become a quasi- Foley artist and harmony part singer for me. 

The Metheglin of the title is the oil that makes the celebration happen and is a type of spiced mead, so basically fermented honey with spices added. It also obliquely connects to Lindisfarne mead and also the bees featured in 'By Castle Walls'.  

I wanted to get a sort of cinematic feel to be dropped into a Celtic Festival or feast day and I hoped the language and children's laughter would aid in the immersion. Finally in this project I get to do a fair bit of bouzouki playing which was a plus. 

So hopefully you will enjoy the feast .... "búwa slanos ac swos"

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

A Taste of Metheglin features low and high whistles, harp, strings, violin, alto-flute, a choir backing and bouzouki. Percussion consists of bodhrán, clapping, various taps and knocks, shaker and even tapping on my acoustic guitar. 

Vocal FX is a combination of Brittonic vocalisations and a  backing line from the Soundiron 'Voices of Gaia' collection featuring the vocal talents of Linda Strawberry.

Some of the percussion sounds come from the excellent playable VST instrument set "Flying Hands Percussion" by HandHeld Sound

A sea waves sound FX and children laughing FX that are classed as Public Domain are used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org

Background

This track is a combination of VST-based instrumentation and real-playing of instruments  with additional clapping, tapping and knocking, all overlaid with original Foley sounds.

I wanted to try and get a well developed rhythmic feel and maybe the feel of circular dancing that hopefully comes out from the track.
