The 4th track from my bandcamp album, Musings 9

:D

Musings 9: Four

I see the dirt in all these corners
I won't believe the world with all their warnings
And where I've been now, I keep myself falling
Cos when I wanna go, it's easy in the morning

I can't tell if I'm listening
Oh well, I'll get the gist and then I'll melt with indifference
This veil of mist that I must trial

If I could ask myself what it is I'm talking 
About, and laugh at help that keeps my head absorbing 
All of the things you need to feed yourself a portion
Of what you must believe to think your this important

I can't tell if I'm listening
Oh well, I'll get the gist and then I'll melt with indifference
This veil of mist that I must trial

There ain't no mercy in all of this performance 
I'll be a version of what you think is for me
So if your working to keep the lights on surely
The only thing that can save you is the morning

I can't tell if I'm listening
Oh well, I'll get the gist and then I'll melt with indifference
This veil of mist that I must trial

the gist

Take your disco lights
Out tonight
Send your laserbeam
into the sky

Lord I'm lonely
But the beat will guide me
back to the place
where we can be together

Unbox your dancing shoes
don't tie them too loose
Emoji, gives me a sign 
that all is still fine?

Here comes the disco king
watch him do his thing
like a chachacha
before the camera

There 's a tendency
in the tinder scene
that if you dance alone
you get stuck in the zone

But I don't mind
as long as I can find
a disco light
shining through

One Leg Dancing

Disco Lights

Stardust

Just wanting to return to the State that has everything .

It took me a long time to complete this for several reasons. At times, John (or I) would forget the title, but I would tell him I had worked more on it. I liked the words from John, but couldn't find the emotional center. Glad I stayed after it now.

John: lyrics
Edro: arch-top guitar, vocals, octave mandolin, piano

It's a pretty little blacktop
With yellow stripes running long
How i got here's a story
Best served in a song
And you'll say, Lucien
You're a loser
Don't know how you get along

Chorus
I'm broke down
On the side of the road
No place I'm going
Or which way to go
If heaven's a highway
I'm doomed where i stand
End of the road
For old Lucien Ferrand

My life's a story better than Job
It started in a womb
Now this blacktop road
My mom was a saint
Or something real close
She put up with dad
And loved me the most

I been there and done that
Got the shirt to tell
But no one told me
How deep was the well
It's best summed up
By a paramour of mine
Lucien, she said, you're a tough sell

Chorus

If luck was a bucket of mishaps
And my troubles all existed there
Why I'd toss the old bucket in the well
And mayhaps my luck will flare
And head toward a nicer place
On this yellow striped blacktop
Right now, it's about all i can bear

It's true, I'm broke down
On the side of a road
But I know where I'm going
That i can guarantee
And it ain't the hell highway
With a yellow stripe brand
It's just the beginning
For old Lucien Ferrand

Lucien Ferrand (John Eagle lyrics)

A crazy track against the stupidity of any war, especially the war in Ukraine.

The Battle
