Working everyday, for the kids

He comes down the chimney what a surprise
He drinks and he stinks and he eats all the pies
He's the man with tinsel in his eyes, say what?
No say Ho oo hoo hoo

Santa's a psycho on a sleigh
He's making us work
Working everyday
For the kids

Kids don't want no wooden toys
Now they want ipods and things that make noise
Hey we get Christmas off for good behaviour
But it doesn't apply if you're a reindeer

Santa's a psycho on a sleigh

Working everyday
For the kids

Santa's a psychoooooooooo

Santa's A Psycho

Music & Lyrics: Margareta Theorin

DU, MUSIKEN OCH JAG

Du och musiken 
gör mitt liv, värt att leva.
Varje dag vi har det fint
Du, musiken och jag.

Vi sjunger, spelar
skriver maskin
och umgås som bara vi kan.
Dagar blir till veckor
månader till år.
Snart vi sitter och minns
det som varit.

Tiden bara rusar
musiken enbart tjusar.
Vår kärlek lever med oss
för alltid.

Du och musiken ....

Lyckan har vi funnit
alla år som runnit.
Utan hopp och mening
levde vi då.

Stämmor 1993 Margareta

Du, musiken och jag. 1399 ( 1993 ) Margareta Theorin ( Margareta )

We bring you the new Push it Along MIX of Breaking Up Christmas, now featuring Couch King Presents and Chris O!

This tune is most closely associated with the incomparable and influential old-time fiddler and 1982 National Heritage Fellow Tommy Jarell, of the greater Mt. Airy NC region of the Appalachians.

While (all according to online sources) the tune itself is not believed to be particularly old - possibly mid-19th c. - the tradition it celebrates is an Appalachian take on the idea of celebrating Christmas over the period between 'new Christmas' (when it's commonly celebrated today) and 'old Christmas' in early January. The holidays would be marked in the mountain communities of SW VA and NW NC by breaking up Christmas, a moving series of house parties with music and dancing and all associated goods and sundries.

I had no idea of any of this when I heard the wonderful John McCutcheon sing and play it on his 1984 record Winter Solstice, which I discovered around 1990 or so while exploring the folk records in my college's radio station library. The song stuck with me for years; I'd hear it played at jams and always think about learning it (I always took my tub bass to jams, so I didn't bother learning the full tunes, just the changes) but never got around to it. So when Jeff started bringing up the idea of a holiday record, I thought this would be a good tune to use to showcase the electric old-time sound (especially since I've never come across an electric version) and bring in some friends on too. I started researching other versions of it, including listening to a classic Tommy Jarrell filmed recording endlessly, and started piecing this together.

It's usually played at a pretty breakneck speed, so we slowed it down, swung it a bit, and Jeff added a swampy beat to it. Jeff did the initial vocal arrangement, and had so much fun he wrote another four verses to go with the original four. I will note that we didn't play the B part exactly right - what started out as adding a few grace notes sort of got out of control, so our apologies to any purists who make it that far. We are of course incredibly lucky to have the very lovely and very busy Chris Okunbor singing and playing along with us once again.

Lyrics
Hooray Jake and Hooray John
Breaking up Christmas all night long
Way back yonder, Long time ago
The old folks danced the do si do.

Way down yonder, along side the creek, 
I saw santa Clause washing his feet.
Santa Clause come, Done, and gone.
Breaking up Christmas all night Long.

i dun gone said it
driving down that muddy road
this is the best you’ll ever get it
and the rain never slowed

if your boots dry wet it
we’re going all night long
stomping out time to forget it
till christmas is long gone

Hold up Jake 
and Hold up john 
the wagon sink we’ll never let
lets push it along

i dun gone said it
their gonna play our tune
and you bet they won’t regret it
come on y’all

let’s get there soon

push it along
push it along
push it along
yea, push it along

Wood on the fire
food on the grill
Mama lights the candles on the window sill


Uncle brought the steaks
He just bagged a deer
Poppa grabs a mug
Pours a pint of beer

Santa takes a break
Pulls up his black boot
gives a quick shake down the chimney chute

Pulls out his list
its 12 miles long
breaking up christmas all night long

Breaking Up Christmas (Push it Along MIX) now featuring Couch King Presents and Chris Okunbor

>> memory corrupt

Another year has gone to space
Time is fast and merciless...
Just lay down on the silent snow
And feel the snowflakes kiss your face...

Let's Get This Bread

Inspired by a modern technology filled future but held in the past with outdated human idiologies affecting the entire planet slowy chipping away and creating all this out of control social divison across the planet bringing the end game and slow extinction process ever closer and our scientists have warned us we need a fundimental change if our one and only paradise planet in deepest of darkest of space is to be saved, however seems its buisness as normal and profit before planet is fully on the menu with our short sighted money puppet politicians and super rich continuing to slurp up the corruption and extert there control and dominace over our repressed materilaistic socialy divided societys flooding and feeding social media with the same old outdated idiologies lost in 1000s of years of human myth and legend that we so dearly hold upon ourselfs as the truth and teach our childern as the truth, blindly following money, religion and owner ship of land like mindless zombies and then disagree about it and have wars which are the very things tearing down our societys and the destruction of nature and life on this planet!  

We have social media outlets that could encourage us to be more environmently and socially friendly instead we are encouraged and brain washed by watching the same adverts over and over to buy materialistic things like furniture or some green liquid in a plastic bottle to wash the dishes and poision the enviroment, dont forget to buy your lottery tickets you want to be rich so you can be happy! You must go to work everyday and become a fully funtional brain washed member of society so you can buy furniture and get drunk and forget your worries the planet is fine have another drink maybe a pint or two of cider its glamourous and makes you happy all in the pursuit of profit, this deadens our brains and keeps us focused on money and going work paying those bills while we bow before a select few like they are better than us all! No they are not they are humans just like you and me who share this planet and the time has come to end this out of control repressive manipulisation which is eating away our societys and decaying this planet and all its wonderous life that exists no were else in the universe! 

We live in the future with furniture and technology not the past and like all life thats ever existed on this planet we need to evolve to benifit the entire planet and all life not the few so our childern and all life can enjoy this paradise in space forever! Life is special for everyone and everything and deserves to be treated as such! Fire up the passion with this foot stomping thought provoking say it like it is get it off your chest tongue and cheek original electro gaming revolution cosmic peace and unity binaural acid trance psychedelic reflective spoken word manga journey! Celebrate life! Peace!

Spoken word:

Smile - What makes you happy
Going to the shop on a rainy day
Been alive and sharing the planet with all life in peace
Letting one big phat fart go in a quite place
What makes you smile be happy

What makes you happy
Driving your car in horrendous traffic
Going to work every day for most of your life
Paying the bills like a good human being
Is this what makes you happy

Think outside the box change the future
One planet one out of date human out of date existance
lost in myth and history
Celebrate life and the cosmic energy
Share this planet in peace and unity
Celebrate life and the cosmic energy
What makes you happy

Smile - What makes you happy
Chips peas and oinion gravey liek
Some cream for mi itchy knee
Ooh some mashed up chicken paste on a butty
That makes me happy - happy

Celebrate life and the cosmic energy
What makes you happy
Peace and unity
That makes me happy

‘Winter Sun’

From the East the sun did shine
At night it lowered its head.. 
The days, filled with scattered light
The sated sky, eternally red..

And though the Hope was small 
It grew by force each day.. 
That Tumult would dissolve 
And Peace at last would stay..

========== Lyrics ==========

The golden curtains
Are burning down
This great palace I built
Is falling to the ground
And I pay no mind, no
While everybody’s losing theirs
And I cut the ties
No longer while I look behind

Go forward, what are the odds
Of not finding nothing
Keep forward, pushing strong
Their words mean nothing

Their words mean nothing (8x)

You would always say
That you never had enough
When you had it all

Having everything was never
Quite enough
What do you want?

A restless need won’t let you sleep my friend
What do you want?

Having everything is a bless and a course
What do you want?

Sometimes things don’t matter at all
At all times you should be who you are
Life as we are, we are, we are, we are
To live life as we are, we are, we are

Such a bliss - such a cheerful ring

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

- John

Stonehenge Song

Something out of the blue, I heard someone whisper it .

Limits Of Whispering

I dedicated the song "Monique" to two women: 
First of all to my grand aunt Monique, who was murdered as a Jew by the Nazis in Auschwitz. I know her only from photos and the anecdotes of my mother. Through her tragic life story, her unique face with the big, jet-black eyes, I still feel connected to her today. 
In this song I imagined meeting her shortly before her gassing in Auschwitz. How I accompanied her to the gas chambers, how we got to know each other a little before the inevitable happened.  
      
Secondly, this song is dedicated to another Monique. Her stage name was "Barbara" and she was a charismatic French chanson singer. What would I have given to be at one of her concerts. But when she had her big time, especially in the 1960s, I was still much too young. So all I have left are their Youtube videos, of which I would like to put a link here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPPZMyMNQCM

Her face and her eyes, her charisma and expression remind me so much of my grand aunt.  Like her, she was a Jewish woman of French descent. And with songs like "Göttingen" she contributed significantly to an understanding between the Jews and the land of the perpetrators- Germany.  

Lyrics in English:

Monique

I visited you in Auschwitz, 
Cursed this freezing cold murder place

See you coming with the gas chamber train 
Only one photo at my place with your face

Your deep black eyes look at me
Already as a child they magically fascinated me

I go to you, take you in my arms 
In the coldness of killing we both get warm

We go together, you tell me about you 
Of your life, your joys, your pain

And you listen to me 
Get to know me briefly

The butchers, they wave
The shadows, they sink down

We both still have some time left 
The cruel suffering is already approaching

You show me the brooch in the photo 
You show me how you move your hands to play the piano

The time fold now pulls you away from me
There to the shameful brick building
I can only look after you
You disappear in there 

Gassed and burned
But unforgettably burned into my soul


Deutscher Originaltext:

Monique

Hab` Dich in Auschwitz besucht 
Diesen eiskalten Mord-Ort verflucht

Seh` Dich da kommen, mit dem Gaskammer-Zug 
Nur ein Foto bei mir mit Deinem Gesicht

Deine tiefschwarzen Augen schaun` mich an
Schon als Kind zogen sie mich magisch in den Bann

Ich geh` zu Dir hin, nehm` Dich in den Arm 
In der Kälte des Mordens wird uns beiden warm

Wir gehen zusammen, Du erzählst mir von Dir 
Von Deinem Leben, Deinen Freuden, Deinem Schmerz

Und Du hörst mir zu. Lernst mich kurz kennen

Die Schlächter, sie winken
Die Schatten, sie senken sich ab

Noch haben wir beide etwas Zeit 
Heran rückt schon das grausame Leid

Du zeigst mir die Brosche, die auf dem Foto trägst 
Du zeigst mir wie Du Deine Hände zum Klavierspiel bewegst

Die Zeitfalte zieht Dich nun fort von mir
Dorthin zu dem Schand-Backsteinbau
Ich kann Dir nur nachsehen
Du verschwindest dort drin 

Vergast und verbrannt
Doch unvergeßlich in meine Seele eingebrannt

Monique

Lyrics;
Everyone loves living free
Until the day they find it's lost
Time will come when everyone
Understands what freedom costs

Sometimes we all face fear
And lock our doors and hide away
Too afraid to lift our head
Of what to do or what to say

Break out from that cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly

The world we live can be so dark
And trust can be so hard to find
Fear and anger sieze the day
The pressure closes down the mind

If everyone is for themselves
Divided we will fall
We're stronger in this world together
All for one and one for all

Break out from the cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly

Break out from this cage
Unlock the chains that bind
Step out to the light
Free the soul open the mind

Break out from the cage
See the sun up in the sky
Gravity might hold you down
But you can let your spirit fly

A message of appeasement to all our American "Red or Blue" friends.
We in Europe have been following this election closely, and in many ways it struck us as surreal.
But now, we hope for reconciliation, for appeasement, because the world's greatest democracy must show us a nobler and more respectful image.
The free world still needs a strong America to contain the nations that are moving away from an indispensable area of democracy and freedom. The environmental state of the planet cannot afford to wait.
The essential stake which must unite us all lies in the safeguard of our beautiful blue planet.
Long live America !

Un message d'apaisement à tous nos amis américains "Red or Blue".
Nous européens avons suivi de près cette élection, et à bien des égards elle nous a semblé surréaliste.
Mais désormais, nous formons l'espoir d'une réconciliation, d'un apaisement, car la plus grande démocratie mondiale doit nous montrer une image plus noble et plus respectueuse.
Le monde libre a toujours besoin d'une amérique forte à contenir les nations qui s'éloignent d'un indispensable espace de démocratie et de liberté. L'état environnemental de la planète ne peut se permettre d'attendre.
L'enjeu essentiel qui doit nous tous nous unir réside dans la sauvegarde de notre belle planète bleue.!

Vive l'Amérique.

--- Appeasement ---

You feel the blue wave,
that invades your mind,
the start of a new age,
red or blue, the same line,

Forget the bitterness, hatred,
Come share the joy and the bread,

forget this nightmare,
we are not at war,
put away your gun,
and enjoy the sun,


In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home...

When Joey wrote out his Christmas list
Many years before The Ramones existed
He made a wish and to his surprise
Santa Claus appeared before his eyes

CHORUS
And Joey he went Hey! Hey! Hey!
And Santa Claus went Ho Ho Ho
And Joey gave out a Hey! Hey! Hey!
And both of them sang Hey Ho! Let's Go
It's Christmas
It's Christmas time

A leather jacket and some drain pipe jeans
Were on the list as well as other things
Santa had a sherry and Joey a mince pie
They rocked some Christmas carols well into the night

CHORUS

Joey unwrapped a mean pair of shades
The same pair that he wore for decades
One too many sherrys Santa's drunk as a skunk
Joey is a kid and Santa is a punk

CHORUS

When Joey Met Santa (Hey Ho!  Its Christmas)

Hey we did an end of year celebration using an instrumental of the new Crystal Waters track Party People!!  

Enjoy!

So i bring to you my 2020 Christmas Present. A cover of the wonderful , irreverent Chris Rea classic.
'Driving Home For Christmas'.
Released in 1988 on his first compilation album 
"New Light Through Old Windows"
Originally written though in 1976 by Chris for Van Morrison, but he decided to sing it himself. Inspired after waiting in a long car jam in the snow and seeing all the other drivers so miserable. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get trough
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas

Driving Home For Christmas (cover)

Composition : Julien Morency
Here's my new composition.  At first I thought the mood would stay cold and melancholic, but at the end I guess I was caught by the Holiday spirit...😉  I think whatever happening in life, better keep searching the brighter path what do you think?!😏💖

Voici ma nouvelle composition.  Au début je croyais que l'ambiance resterait froide et mélancolique, mais à la fin je crois que l'esprit des fêtes m'a rattrapé...🙂  Je pense que peu importe ce qui arrive dans la vie, c'est mieux de continuer de chercher le chemin éclairé qu'en pensez-vous?!😏💖

Painting by Marie-Jose Payannet

Rain drops fell on Nasha's nose.  Soon rain drummed the thirsty land.  For three days, rain soaked the plains.

A note from Marie-Jose Payannet, Director of Danse Etoile Ballet:
In those hard times when live performances cannot happen, Danse Etoile Ballet is producing a movie based on the original story written and illustrated by director Marie-Jose Payannet.  The story will unfold with dances mixed with narration and dialog, choreographed to diverse musics. Danse Etoile has been fortunate to work with Colorado's own composer Bruce Klepper who composed this beautiful piece for Nahsa and the Rain. 

For Native American Flute, Strings,  Marimba, Xylophone, String Bass, virtual instruments and percussion

Nasha, The Girl Who Touched The Sky - Nasha and the Rain

Back To The Moon

YouTube: https://youtu.be/ExT372wLyoE. This is a poem set to music. For relief from the "pandemic," I hiked in Eldorado Canyon, Colorado, hoping to see a Bald Eagle. Instead, perched up on a mountain peak was a crow. See the hiking path: https://youtu.be/9XYtnA9uAwo
POEM
VERSE1
Went to the mountains
To break the status quo.
For the reasons people go, to grow.
The eagles, the elk, the clean air.
Myself - to get to know.

VERSE2
Climbing up the ridge,
From the meadow below,
Arriving at the peak, rocky trail plateaus.
Stones loomed above me,
Fighting rain and snow.
Million years of winds that blow.

CHORUS1
Why do we go? Why do you ask?
To see such beauty that may not last.
Just like you, let me be free.
Let us have peace. Let me be me.
Agree?... See?.. This is key!

BRIDGE1

VERSE3
Something moved, casting shadows below.
What lives there?
What wildlife will show?
Expecting an eagle to spread its wings,
Then I hear a sound I know.

VERSE4
The call of an old black crow.
Not dressed for the occasion.
Not moved much by persuasion.
Wrong equation. Odd sensation.

CHORUS2
Crow looked down,
At the people on the ground,
In a way, as if to say, “Hey”
Just like you, let me be free.
Let me have peace. Let me be me.
Agree?... See?.. This is key!

BRIDGE2

VERSE5
Independent bird,
Follows his own tempo.
Doesn’t take orders well.
Like to keep it simple.

VERSE6
Clever bird. Often met with abrasion.
Perhaps you are a better symbol,
Of this nation.

VERSE7
If we want to make it for the full duration,
We better show more toleration.
No tomorrows. Too many sorrows.
Time, you just can’t borrow.

BRIDGE3

VERSE8
Climbing down the mountain,
That day I had to go,
To find out who I was,
And met the old crow.
Old black crow, what do ‘ya know?
Helped me today. A favor I owe.

CHORUS3
I’ll see you next time. When I climb.
When I go, on top of the rocks.
You’ll watch me below.
I know.

Slave To The Rhythm feat. Vocalatti /Paploviante - Bass

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

Thank you for  all your kind comments, for listening, following and sharing <3 !  Overall Impression: An elegant take on new age music, with “The Eagle” ENIL Sounds, has a sophisticated musical palate and has written a composition with class. It’s a trifecta with a mixture of new age, ambient, and electronica with an acoustic feel that would appeal to listeners of soft pop, new age, and contemporary music today. ....https://linktr.ee/ENILSounds https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/enilsounds/time-slips
