Lament for Ukraine

(Lyrics, vocal, and music by Linda Straub)

Who will denounce the killing
of innocents and shedding of their blood?
Who will step in to stop the violence
against those too young, too old, and too sick to run? 

These stalwartly people
defend their freedom and land.
They band together;
they fight and they stand. 

Huddled in dark basements
and underground stations,
children cling to their mothers,
as bombs fall on their nation. 

In hospitals, theaters, and churches, 
death and destruction lurches.
It pours down on all within,
the unforgiven primordial sin. 

Refugees flee on railways
to neighboring welcoming lands,
arriving with nothing but suitcases
in weary shaking hands. 

Their eyes reveal the torture
of loved ones left behind,
the uncertainty of their future,
and what they may someday find. 

When will the bombs and bullets be silenced?
Will the children return home again?
When will the world return to its senses,
so the rebirth of peace can begin?

LYRICS
We started driving such a time ago
The sun is going down yeah It sinks so low
Two people here with no place to go
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

All we ever had has disappeared
And all that we have left is love
And no matter how I prayed to god above
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

Slow down, slow down
Ain't no hurry here
No place to go
And all night to get there

Instrumental

She rests her head on my shoulder
How did it ever come to this
I feel the night is getting colder
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

Outro

Driving into Night

Arvo Part-ish minimalist vibe. Ideal accompaniment for down-sizing, right-sizing, delayering, exfoliating or any other euphemism for firing people.

p.s. a bit of a Philip Glass vibe, too.

It's neat to repeat: You're never alone with a drone

Organisation Restructuring (remaster)

I apologize for my outpouring of new songs, but this is one I couldn't pass up. The film inspired me to make a little "trailer", nothing special....

Oculus is a 2013 American horror film directed by Mike Flanagan, based on his short film Oculus: Chapter 3 - The Man with the Plan. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2013.

This is a song I wrote back in 1986.  I didn't have a digital recording of it, and the only recording I had was on one of many cassettes, so I unearthed it from the copyright office.

AEROCHUTE 

faster than faster her, 
flyer than higher, you can shake down an airplane fly girl... 
when you move i don’t even have eyes just to know i see you. 

harder and further her, 
no parachute can prove it 
take a leap of faith love. 
all i know, it's you who's brave enough to be afraid now. 

will catch you when you fall after all 
mended wings bring your heart to mine. 
(faster, higher, further faster) 

lighter than arrows her, 
shall we keep flying over faces and places we know? 
or strip bare unclothe those words that sting even when not spoken. 

falling forever friend, 
The clouds’ll catch us 
not a broken bone will scratch us! 
cheating death for now hold hands while i take the fall when we land. 

will catch you when you fly suicide 
mended wings bring your heart to mine.

The Sound

I am drawn to folk, blues, soft rock, and country music new or old. I love songs that tell a story, especially the Irish, English, and Scottish ballads of long ago because their stories are often timeless, and most everyone at anytime can relate to. 

Memories of people, places. and events throughout my life influence the songs I write.
