Written With Martina McBride in Mind: "Time That You're Movin' on"
with one line from Steve Harding, that made the verse; but we'd never figure out his percentages! Steve wrote "On Day Late and a Dollar Short." His line, "Don't come 'round her anymore to cast your shadow on my door!" (Made the whole verse make sense!)

Always give credit where credit's due folks! Even if it's just a dollar!

Thank you Gilles!  Not sure you're saying what I said exactly, but certainly do enjoy listening to your voice! Who'd a thunk it that Adriano Fontana could have taken my little old clunk-ity-clunk guitar version and turned it into THIS! We should have know, right ? Well done, my friend! (Two friends from Sound-cloud, and EXCEL-LENTO!Merci---and Gratzio!

"Listen to Your Heart, This Time"

It isn't what you say,
That brightens up my day.
I already know, what You've been thinking.
What makes you so unique,
Is not in how you speak,
It's how you put (them) together,In your expression
Ch: 

Listen with your heart,
That's where the feelings start.
(Though) thoughts will keep on churning, through your mind . 
But if you Listen to your Heart..
Fear  will soon depart
.Listen to your heart,...This  time. 

TWO:
I love to see you smile.
.Though I know all the while,
Underneath, you're fearful  and you're hurting 
Today could  be the day,..
.You put your heart into what you say.
I know this world can be,...disconcerting. .  


Ch: 

Listen with your heart,
That's where the feelings start.Though)
 thoughts will keep on churning  through your mind 
But if you Listen to your Heart...
Fear will soon depart
.Listen to your heart,....this  time.
 listen to your heart...listen to your heart..
Listen to your heart,.....this time.

Ecoute Ton Coeur sung in French by Ancolies. Merci Beaucoup!" This is the French version of " Listen to Your Heart" by Lynda Faye/English

Ecoute' Ton Coeur   

Tout ce que tu dis 
Tout ce que tu tais 
Oh bébé je connais tout de tes pensées       
Ce qui te rend unique
Ton regard magique
Tes mots murmurés comme de la musique


Ecoute ton coeur
écoute ce qu’il dit

C’est bien lui ton meilleur ami
Oui pense avec ton coeur
Lui le sait par coeur
Qu’il est là le chemin de ton bonheur


J’aime te voir sourire
Tes fièvres t‘inspirent
C’est là ta façon de ne pas souffrir
Aujourd’hui pourrait être
Le 1er jour d’une fête
Qui chanterait à jamais dans ta tête
 

Écoute ton coeur

C’est lui et lui seul

Qui te mènera aux instant de joie 
Oui au moins pour cette fois
Ecoute ton âme    

Et regarde s’élever la flamme 
Oui regarde s’élever la flamme

Dancin' shoes (Heck No, You Ain't Gonna Throw, Away my Dancin Shoes" Lynda's Story

Being a lover of "good" country music and a friend of those gals who burned their bras andnever liked the "intent, (or philosophy behind stated in its lyrics ) of " Stand By Your Man",I do have to say that its melodic punch chorus and song was of course, put together , excellently, and knowing that Tammy stood by her "men", even after her divorces, gives her that special "right to sing about it". When Dolly, who joined with Tammy, on that chorus, in perfect harmony, it also gave the song -as a "song" musically, not necessarily, lyrically, a bright lift. But some of us out here are wondering about those lyrics, even today!

"Stand by Your Man-He's Just a Man!"
They say it's hard to be a woman,Giving all your love, to just one man,You'll have the bad times,He'll get all the good times,Doing things that you won't understand.But if you love him, you'll forgive him.Yeah, you know he's hard to understand.But if you love him,You gotta' be proud of him,'Cause, after all...He's just a man..........Be proud of him, Don't talk about him.After all, (As they say in their song..."He's just a man!"Yep. "just a man!"Disclaimer, I mean absolutely no disrespect for the lovely and talented Tammy Wynette-but after discussing their lyrics with a few criminal and divorce attorneys, I came to the conclusion that there are quite a few of us who don't agree with them!

"Stand by Your Man-He's Just a Man!" Lynda's Version

My Dear Lord, Master of the Universe,
Restore my faith,...in your Great Divinity.
Grant (us) more time, to put your Loving Words to Rhyme,
For all your faithful  children,  to sing.

Through all the  world's resounding joy.
Grant to us, your perfect harmony.
Thank you from,    a child like me...

Thank you for that Stormy Day,

To let us know , we're not alone. 
Thank you for, the souls you've saved,
For that bright light, that you , have shown

Chorus B
Thank you for that Stormy Day,
That  opens up, into the sun.
Thank you for the souls you've saved,

If the lyrics don't just pop out at you upon their "reading" here, I put my rough melody with my guitar 
rendition here on You Tube, also, exactly as it came to me  from God only knows, where...and an answer to "My Prayer".  I joined SoundCloud, and found the instrumentals  posted there by Adriano were of such great  diversity, that perhaps he could help with this song;  Somehow, when I heard Adriano's arrangement,  I could not find an angelic,  heavenly- enough human voice to sing the melody for me.   I found the Masterful voice of the singer from Bog Rock, and he sang it beautifully, for me; But I felt I should find a beautiful soprano angel to sing it.  Sarah Brightman and Barbara Streisand both came to mind, but I'm sure my music would never reach either of them. Then I saw a TED Video by Bob Cafaro on the subject of  "Defying the Odds of Multiple Sclerosis" ---and he picked up his cello and out came "Heavenly Voices!"   My brother, whose name was , also, "Bob", had passed away, in 2019, was a cellist, and an exquisite Baroque flute craftsman...so I thought it to be some sort of a spiritual omen, to ask Bob Cafaro to play this for me.  Bob, (Cafaro) is still active with the Philadelphia Philharmonic. I feel it was a Miracle that all of these musicians had come together to help me out...Yes, that'll be the next one for Adriano to help with..."I Need a Miracle."

Hollywood Diva -French by Ancolies, arrangement Adriano Fontana
(French--then English, below)

Tu as toujours pensé devenir quelqu’un
Posséder un super destin
Tu es partie en chantant et dansant
Dans le soleil levant

Regarde tu n’es qu’un point sur le boul’ vard
La blague à 200.000 dollars
Perdu dans la masse, total à la ramasse
Ça t’as réussi ton crash

Personne n’a dit que ce serait facile
Personne ne t’a dit d’y croire
Personne n’a dit que l’amour serait en ville
Tu n’as pas voulu le voir
Personne n’a dit que ce serait facile
Te convaincre, impossible
Tes rêves plein la tête et en jouant des coudes
Tu es partie pour Hollywood

Paraît que maintenant t’es à New-York city
Ou encore à Tokyo place
La gloire et la fortune au nez t’ont bien ri
Tu tiens la porte au palace

C’est quelque chose te voir ramer comme un sushi
Toi qui rêvais steak et homard
Je n’ veux plus te voir, encore moins être à ta place
Tout c’ qu’on fait c’est rire de toi

Personne n’a dit que ce serait facile
Mais toi tu as voulu y croire
Personne n’a dit que l’amour serait en ville
Tu n’as pas voulu le voir
On t’a prévenu pourtant fais pas l’imbécile
Te convaincre, impossible
T’as fait ta diva et en jouant des coudes
Tu es partie pour Hollywood

Alors salut toi la grande diva!


NOBODY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE EASY
NOBODY SAID IT'D BE FAST
NOBODY SAID THAT THE LOVE THAT SHE GAVE YOU...WAS ALWAYS GOING TO LAST.
NOBODY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE EASY,
BUT SHE BELIEVED THAT IT COULD
SO WITH HER NOSE IN THE AIR AND HER FEET ON THE GROUND,
SHE WENT OFF TO H- O- L-L-Y WOOD!

VERSE ONE:

I GUESS YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BE "SOME-ONE"
YOUR SEN SA TIO NAL SELF
YOU GOT TO BE UP THERE SCREAMING
YOU MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF.

VERSE TWO:

HEARD YOU WERE TOURING TO NEW YOUR CITY,
A TOUR OF TOKYO, TOO ?
ALL THAT FAME AND FORTUNE
FLOATIN' ON A FUTON
SURELY WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU !

BET YOU THINK YOU'RE SOMETHIN!
LIVIN ON THAT SUSHI, AND ALL THAT TOFU TOO!
ALL THAT STEAK AND LOBSTER, FLOATIN ON A FUTON,
WHEN YOU COME CRASHING' THROUGH!


NOW YOU'RE JUST A SIGN ON SUNSET,
A- MILLION-- DOLLAR== FACE, IT'S TRUE...
NOW YOU'RE IN THE RACE, BUT I DON'T LIKE YOUR PACE,
I'M NOT WAITING FOR Y O U !

CHORUS

NOBODY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE EASY
NOBODY SAID IT'D BE FAST
NOBODY SAID THAT THE LOVE THAT SHE GAVE YOU...WAS ALWAYS GOING TO LAST.
NOBODY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE EASY,---BUT SHE BELIEVED THAT IT COULD
SO WITH HER NOSE IN THE AIR AND HER FEET ON THE GROUND,
SHE WENT OFF TO H- O- L-L-Y WOOD!

I sat around in publishing offices with these guys complaining how their girlfriends were doing anything to get their pretty faces onto a billboard!  Thought I'd write this "for them!" for Stan the Man at Irwin Pincas' office, for Bob Le-Fever, for allot of them! I envision "this character " packing up his van and looking up at his girlfriend's picture on the bill board...for the very last time!Working on the English version- The singers keep getting sore throats screaming it out!

Crying ("It's All Over Now , but the Crying.")

"Everybody knows it; It's the end of the story (the game.)"

Together, we just couldn't make it,
They say things just happen that way.
The love that we knew, is now fading;
Should have known it could happen that way.
Why did we spend our lives dreaming;
Love is not as hard as it seems.
Why can't we live in what' s happening now;
And not wait for a future in all of our dreams?

Ch:

It's all over now, but the crying,
So sad, we drifted apart
.But what was the use of our trying?
We were breaking each other's heart.

Instrumental: 

Deep in my heart, there's a yearning
To try it all over again.
I've grown so weary of  searching
For  a love, that could never have been.
Destiny' s leading us farther,
From our dreams that could never come true.
Time only knows what the future could bring;
I wish I could spend it with you.

Ch:

It's all over now, but the crying,
So sad, we drifted apart.
But what was the use of our trying?
We were breaking each other's heart.
" Please don't cry...baby, please don't cry."

A Wretch Like me
FredGold&LyndaFaye

I may not have lived my life, upon the straight and narrow,
I may have swerved a bit, to avoid a bumpy road,
After all is said and done, you know I'm only human,
I just keep truckin', now the Lord is in control,

When I go walking down the street, the beggars call me "Sonny"
I guess they can see that shinin' light, the Lord has shown on me,
In their despair, they even care, sometimes, they (even) throw ME money
I Believe that they can see, how the Lord has set me free..

CH:
All my life, that old devil 's been tryin' to get me down,
All my life, that old devil's been hangin' 'round,
But all my life, all I want the world to see, is
I will always follow Him...A Wretch Like Me.

All through life , this earthly life, there be trials and tribulation,
Ain't nobody gonna' help you through, not friends and not relation...
God, he has the only key to get you through this strive,
God who is our truth and light, he'll get you through life!

I may not have lived my life, upon the straight and narrow,
I may have swerved a bit, to avoid a bumpy road,
After all is said and done, you know I'm only human,
I just keep truckin', now the Lord is in control,

CH:
All my life, that old devil 's been tryin' to get me down,
All my life, that old devil's been hangin' 'round,
But all my life, all I want the world to see, is
I will always honor Him...A Wretch Like Me.

I have to admit, that I was inspired to write this song after I heard Jerry Seinfeld's joke!  He said to his friend, "You're so broke the street people HAND YOU money! Ha! to be that "poor", how funny---So then came the character "sonny"., because the lord must have been shining HIS light on this poor character !  Now it's shinin on me too?!

LyndaFaye's  Personal Message to Songwriters based on " There, I Said it Again", Arranger: Adriano Fontana

I LOVE YOU....THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE..
IT'S BETTER     THAN BURNING INSIDE
I LOVE YOU,  WHY DO YOU PRETEND ?
THERE I'VE SAID IT AGAIN !

FORGIVE ME, FOR LOVING  YOU SO    
BUT ONE THING, I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'VE  LOVED YOU, SINCE HEAVEN KNOWS WHEN.
THERE, I SAID IT AGAIN.

YOU MADE THE MUSIC    
YOU WROTE THE LOVE SONG
HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU?
THE THOUGHT THAT IS STRANGEST --
IS  YOU  HAVE ARRANGED IT,
AS   IF IT WERE      ---    ESPECIALLY FOR ME!


I LOVE YOU....THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE..
IT'S BETTER     THAN BURNING INSIDE
I LOVE YOU,  WHY DO YOU PRETEND ?
THERE I'VE SAID IT AGAIN I LOVE YOU..

I can't be the only MOTHER out there whose offspring fall asleep on the phone when you start "giving advice ?"

 This is a replay/re-recording of a real "conversation that took place..as I found myself singing to myself to a dial tone! This is a narrative with bits of an "Oldie" , l.e., Famous Song that always got me through a few heartaches! So Fellow Soundcloud Writers? FIND A PRETTY PICTURE OF YOUR DAUGHTER AND PUT IT UP THERE WITH "YOUR " ADVICE TOO! Social Media can help them with the bad times, too, now can't it ??? Only used mine so you're recognize ME...(I think my daughter might sue me if I used her's but I'm stll thinkin' about it!)
I'm leaving it   "VOICE RAW" and "Acapella", because poor Adriano is swamped with tracks to assemble for me.All of my other "Oldies" were sent to him acapella, too. because I just can't stand rigid rhythmic patterns  that affectthe meaning (s) of beautiful lyrics. All of his guitar parts were added later (and adjusted to fit my personal needs ?!)Lynda's not experienced in  Audacity's "effects" on the "spoken voice" and that harmony needs a bit of adjustment, but I'm  placing it here after a few emails back and forth with Mark Reitenga, whose writings I find to be extremely beneficial to setting standards for our youth. The lyrics are interchangeable, could be pertaining toa son, just as much as a daughter.   So, here's my " Advice to Our Daughters Suffering Young Heartaches!"I await your opinions, or, hey, your guitar accompaniment, " If the Spirit Moves Ya!" I suggest to anyone who'd liketo take a stab at an added guitar accompaniment in their favorite genre, who likes the "message" being given, write to me at LyndaFayeSmusic@gmail.com, and I'll send them the separate tracks. How's that ?
"Hello, Sweetie,"
I know you're broken-hearted, Sweetie,
 But, you know, 
Twenty years ago, your grandmother  gave me some advice
That got me through some of these times.
Now you try to remember this, too, OK?   Goodnight ?  ....Hello ?

He'll want a chance to make up for all the harm, he's done
.But only love can break a heart, 
Only love can mend it again.
He'll want to hold you and he'll promise to love you forever;
But only love can break a heart.
Only love can mend it again.
You'll find a new love,  a love much deeper
And it might be from just a friend.
Yes only love can break a heart.
Only love can mend it again.

" So, Sweetie, while you're healing from that broken heart...
Let's go do something...Fun!?  Let's go to the mall
,Let's take your friend whose heart was broken only less than a month ago...With us, remember ?" 

Only love can break a heart,
Only love, can mend...it...again.

Well, all former recordings of this song sounded a bit repetitive  too; When you got a good "hook chorus"....I say USE IT !

Of Course, "Mama Cass's" song " Dream a Little Dream of Me," was the inspiration for Lynda's re-write and Adriano's  Classical Guitar Arrangement. I, personally, always felt that Cass's "La, di , da" riffs of counter melodies were quite possibly "her" musical ideas for "her" guitarist, that never came to light. so I requested Adriano put those in there! Just a hunch; RIP MS Eliot, We only mean to enhance your "Dream"  "my dear! We mean to NOT 'steal" them!
"Dream", based on Cass's Dream a Little Dream of Me.

Say nighty night and... kiss me,
Just hold me tight and... tell me you miss me,
When I'm alone, as blue as can be...
Will you, "Dream a Little Dream of Me ?"

Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams and leave your worries behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Will you " Dream a Little Dream of Me ?"

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing, to linger 'til dawn , dear,
Just saying this: 

 Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper , "I love you."
Birds singing in the Sycamore Tree,
Will you " Dream a Little Dream " of me ?

  (Adriano started "rockin' a bit here; good one Adriano!)
Oh, dear Adriano goes back to the pretty stuff her; 
(Lynda had a crying spell over those five chords he added!)

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing, to linger 'til dawn , dear,
Just saying this: 
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams and leave your worries behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Will you " Dream a Little Dream of Me ?"

One of Adriano's famous beloved EXITS , here!
God how I hate to hear him fade out !

"Dream" LyndaFaye's Memorial to the Beautiful Cass Elliot, Arranged by Adriano Fontana

Remember Adam Sandler's "Opera Man?" We'll, this is a frustrated opera singer who's not able to fulfill her dreams AS an opera singer, but tries in three inept languages anyway!
 Lots of us did get very hungry in the middle of those performances, didn't we ?!"Oh, Solo Mio" or "I Like to Eat!" Just Had to put it on  you guys! I couldn't resist after hearing Pavarotti and the Three Tenors!


Busy trying to make people laugh, during a time of hazardous hurricanes and devastating news from Afghanistan.
Hard to stay focused on music during these time, yes ?
Stay Healthy AND  Busy, my friendS!
Two singers who helped me out live in Louisiana and Soundcloud is the only little bit of fun and folic I've been able to allow myself to indulge in for the past year!

Here we go!

  MAGICA SERATA 
Quando ti ho visto
Volevo dirti
 che pensavo di conoscerti da sempre
desideravo toccarti
sentirti, abbracciarti
Avevo paura lo sai...

magica serata
ti ho incontrato 
insieme all'amore più bello per me.
sembravi felice
Ti ho visto tornare
da un mondo da noi già vissuto
sento il tuo cuore il nostro amore
amarsi ..senza spegnersi mai

puoi sentire
sentire il mio cuore
che batte così forte per te
nei miei sogni 
ti ho amato e sempre ti amerò
mi tocchi, mi guardi 
e sento che l'amore è nostro
 e non finirà mai
tutta me stessa, tutto il mio cuore è tuo
anche se ...
doloroso... 
non rivederti più

magica serata 
ti ho incontrato insieme all'amore
 più bello per me
 puoi sentire 
sentire il mio cuore che batte così forte per te
 nei miei sogni
 ti ho amato

 e sempre ti amerò



"One Enchanted Evening I Found an Old Friend, Singer-Songwriter LyndaFaye

"One Enchanted Evening, I Found an Old Friend "

The first time I saw you, I wanted to tell you, That I thought that I knew you well.
I needed to touch you, to feel you, to hold you,
But I was afraid, you could tell
.One Enchanted Evening, I found an old friend,
And all of the music, that I'd ever known.

Two:
Funny how you seemed to be, slowly coming back to me,
From a world, that we'd both known before.
I feel your heart, I feel your soul, our love, it must be very old
;I feel like I've loved you before.
One Enchanted Evening, I found an old friend,
And all of the music, that I'd ever known.

CH:
Can you hear me , hear my heart beat, clear across the room?
I have loved you, will always love you, in my dreams.

Three:

You look at me, you touch my hand, I feel the love will never end
and in my heart, I feel that we are home.
There's nothing that this world can do, to keep me from loving you,
Even if I never would see you again.

CH: Can you hear me , hear my heart beat, clear across the room?
I have loved you, will always love you, in my dreams.

I Would Give You Anything if to me You Could Explain (WW III ?)

Fred Gold & Lynda Faye, The Illinois Harmony Connection

I would give, you anything, if to me, you could explain?
Why, at one time we had everything,
Is this the nature....of man?

There was a time, when man knew he was right,
Peace was on his left, war was on his right,
Man was right, so , in the name of God...
All mankind lost the land that "he " had trod.

I would give, you anything, if to me, you could explain?
Why, at one time we had everything,
Is this the nature....of man?

There was a time, when Man, he could foresee...
Said "War has always been, so War will always be"
Aren't they proud...that is their philosophy .
They said " God is Dead..."
But not to me.

I would give , you, anything.
I would give, you,

Sometimes...I Think of Him

Original, by Lynda Faye, Singer Ana Marie Ceuca,Arranger, Adriano Fontana

I know that he's a married man, but every now and then,
I think of how he loved me, and how it might have been,,,
I know I should fight it, it's hard for me to write it, 
But Sometimes, I Think of "Him".

 Two:
I heard he moved  to Boston; how he loved the open seas,
To that Historical Old Fashioned, back then he chose for me.
I know I'm just a memory, of all that could have been,
I wonder if he thinks of me, I think of him.

CH: 
Now I know that you love me, and it might be a sin, 
But Sometimes,...I think of him.

Three: 
I think about his children, now, I wonder if they sing,
to the strums of his guitar, the way he played for me?
If only I had spoken, when he asked me for my hand,
I was young and shy back then,,,, I wanted him for my friend.

CH: 
Now I know, that you love me, and it might be a sin,
But Sometimes,....I Think of Him.

Sometimes...I  Think of Him, Singer Ana Marie Ceuca, Arranger , Adriano Fontana

All Day Long (Loving You, All Day Long) Singer Ana Marie Ceuca, also known as " Lynda Faye's French Cabaret" sung in French
Arranger, Adriano Fontana

Why is it love is never given to the one who needs it
,Love is only shown in the dark?
Advice is never good until a person heeds it
,And there's so many broken hearts?
Why is it everyone is telling you, that you've got spirit
;No one ever has the time to hear it !
Wouldn't it be nice if your computer cleared it...All Day Long ?

Two:
Why is it news is never made until the people read it?
And news is never bad as it seems.
All the things that are good, they seem to go unheard of;
Until they're on a movie screen?
Why does it always seem there' someone above you
.Why can't you believe, that somebody loves you?
Wouldn't it be nice to know that somebody loves you
,All day long.
Bridge:

Why is it love is never given to the one who needs it;
Love is only shown in the dark?
Everybody wants to have a smashing finish;
But everyone's afraid to start?
When you don't need a friend, they'll be out there to ride you;
When you really need help, there'll be no one to guide you.!
Wouldn't it be nice to know there's someone beside you
All day long?

Well I would like to know, what is the great big secret..
We're all makin' love, but no one can keep it?
I'd like to give my love to those who need it..
All Day Long.

"Miracle" 
("A Walk Down the Aisle") The Wedding Song
                                                Karen Jean Olsen & Lynda Faye

I need a Miracle....in my life.
You need a miracle....you need a wife.
I need a miracle....God knows it's true.
Someday  you might realize.....the Miracle was you.

(Men's Chorus-Ha, when we can find "them" I need 
I need a Miracle
I need a Miracle
I need a Miracle, too.

I believe in Miracles,
God lives in you;
The oldest story ever told,
Says love will see us through.

Copyrighted 1975 By Karen Jean and Lynda Faye

This  song was written years ago with a  childhood friend  of mine, whom had  later moved from Moline, Illinois, to Garden Grove, California.  She was planning on  getting married at the Church of the Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. I'm dedicating this TO Karen Jean Olsen, as when she heard the chorus, her immediate reaction was, "Oh, Thank God- I am so tired of the "Here Comes the Bride" song! She and Roger were to be married way back in the late seventies, but the Piper Plane, three seater crashed into a ten-thousand-foot mountain.  The story even became weirder, as I was invited to accompany them on that flight, and couldn't.  

Karen came to me in a dream that morning, with the lyrics to the song " Flyin' in the Morning."  We dedicated that one later to our military.    Karen's Obituary is on line; true story. I always promised I'd record this "for her" , but I am the Master Procrastinator. 

REST IN PEACE, KAREN,
And as she said in he dream, "Don't be sad, I've been flyin' all along anyway!"

                                    Arranger: Adriano Fontana

The sky went black in the middle of the day;
A storm came up, but it would not rain..
A masterful voice came out to sing,-
Sang "Welcome to the Great.......Awakening !"

Two:
The lightning flashed  and thunder roared,
Four angry horsemen drew  their swords 
Trumpets blared to the beat of drums. 
Fire rained down, on everyone!

(Three) 
I screamed to the Lord, " What have we done?" 
Why such pain  for  everyone?
The angels sang, "You're not to blame" 
Welcome to the great.....awakening. 

(Four)
This world is HIS for all mankind,
See How you cared for it-in time?
When all mankind has come and gone
Remember God, will right the wrongs.

(Five) 
The sun came up, it was a beautiful day;
Thousands of angels kneeled to pray. 
Harps and Harmonies came to say,
 Remember us...on Judgment Day"

The Great Awakening...Lynda Faye, Arranger: Adriano Fontana

Much like (as when) Adriano finished the instrument track for "My Dear Lord", this was so exciting and interesting, I again had difficulty singing the final. But I think Adriano's Arrangement  as an arrangement without voice, deserves to "be out there!". Again, I, myself, hear the fifty piece orchestra with trumpets blaring; but then, all in HIS divine timing.
Thanks  for listening. 
And for those who like to "sing along" no matter what genre...here you go:

I saw Michael, Gabriel...Raphael
Seven angels, I could not tell,
That voice returned for a last refrain,
Maybe this was not a dream?!
Welcome to the Great... Awakening!

"It Was a Silent Night" 
("Silent Night Revised  by Lynda Faye & Fred Gold's electronics) 


It was a Silent Night...a Holy Night
He's the son of God, Love's pure light.
Radiant beams, from His Holy Face,
Marked the dawn of redeeming grace
He was Jesus, Lord at Thy Birth.


It Was a Silent Night,  a Holy night
All was calm; all was bright,
Round' Yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and Mild.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace..
Sleep in Heavenly Peace.


It was a Silent Night, a Holy Night
Shepherds trembled ...at His Holy sight,
Glory streamed from Heaven afar;
Heavenly Hosts sang " Hallelujah,"
Christ, the Savior was born.
Christ, the Savior was born.


It was a Silent Night...a Holy night,
That WONDEROUS STAR, guided with light;
Let angels sing, "Hallelujah our King,"
Christ, our Savior was born.
Christ our Savior was born.

It was a Silent Night...a Holy Night
He's the son of God, Love's pure light;
Radiant beams, from His Holy Face,
Marked the dawn of redeeming grace
He was Jesus, Lord at Thy Birth.
Jesus, Lord at Thy Birth.

It Was a Silent Night,  a Holy night
All was calm; all was bright,
Round' Yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and Mild.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace...
Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

PS. I had to fire the mezzo soprano angel after this, as Adriano disappeared again and there was nobody available before Christmas to fix her. Sorry!

"It Was a Silent Night" ( Silent Night Revisited Lynda Faye Fred Gold's Chimes!)

"Her"

FINALLY the  "male voice" for this song has been found! Someone who understands what it feels like, to love someone deeply, yet still, be haunted from someone from his past.  Formerly titled it   " The Mystery Voice" as HE reminds me of a FAMOUS SINGER FROM THE SIXTY'S!   I heard the Chorus and immediately "heard" Roy Orbison---You GUESS-me NATURAL abilities; much as I said about John Prine (may he RIP too) this natural ability to feel in the heart, what gets maneuvered by the brain, that flows out the mouth!  NATURAL. 
("Forgive me Love, Sometimes, I Think of Her.") "Her" for short title.
Her fleeting,  flirting spirit ..
In a love I called my own,
Left me helpless, and wearily...Alone .


Sometimes I feel HER close to me,
When I hold you in my arms!
But it doesn't seem to matter...
For you have all her charms.....

Love... it holds no boundaries, 
And grows on us, in time.
Love and lust are different,
And so, I made you mine.

CH:

 I know you love me,
 Sometimes, the past is just a blur.
Forgive me Love...Sometimes... I think of her.

Four

I can see her, running merrily,
There, dancing in the wind.
I feel her loving kindness... 
In a love I could never win.

Her fleeting, flirting spirit ....
In a  love I called my own,
Left me helpless....and wearily...Alone..


CH: 
I know you love me,
 "Sometimes..." The past is just a blur.
Forgive me Love, Sometimes... I think of her.

" Why War?"
("I Would Give You Anything if to me You Could Explain?") 

There was a time, when Man knew he was right
Pease was on his left, and war was on his right
,Man was right, so in the name of God, 
All mankind lost the land that he had trod

.CH: 
I would give you, anything, if to me you could explain,
Why at one time, when we had , everything....
There was a time, when Man, he could foresee,
War had always been, so war would always be?
Aren't we proud? That was our philosophy...
God was dead, but not to me.


There was a time, when man knew he was right; 
Peace was on his left, and War was on his right.
Man was right, So in the name of GOD...
HAS...All mankind lost the land that he had trod.? 
I'd give you anything...
If to me, you could explain

Ballads VV Singers Need Demos

"Why War?" -Original by Fred Gold &Lynda Faye

Back when people respected honesty and clarity, we were listening to those protest songs by Judy and Joan, those who survived the pressure; Back then producers used to say, "If you can't make your point with one guitar and a microphone, you have no point to MAKE! Now, they say" anything goes for the money!" ANYTHING! Wait 'til the grid goes and people have to communicate more "personally" again? Us old hippies and the Amish will have it altogether! IF people could "slow their pressured lives down" and actually "listen" again, without having to be BLASTED by electronics? The lack of "strong drugs" might have helped too! She and Joan Baez are both still going strong! FORGET the guitar! Judy Collins could sing acapella and keep the crowd amazed! Besides, it's the CAPO she's using that causes the strings to loosen, requiring adjustments. The time that talent becomes how loudly one can scream into a microphone while disrobing for views, will soon dissipate, and quality will survive. Judy could have used her voice range to become a famous opera singer-but she kept to her standards. Love to hear her " Amazing Graze" over and over. "With Judy Collins & Joan Baez in Mind, "Why War?" "Time Goes By" and "Praying for Afghanistan"& "The Great Awakening.

"With Judy Collins & Joan Baez in Mind-Why War? "
There was a time, when Man knew he was right,
Peace was on his left, and war was on his right.
Man was right, so in the name of God, 
All mankind lost the land that he had trod.

.CH:
I would give you, anything, if to me you could explain,
Why, at one time, when we had everything....

There was a time, when Man, he could foresee, 
Said "War has always been, so war will always be...
"Aren't we proud? That was our philosophy...
God was dead... but not to me.

There was a time, when man knew he was right;
 Peace was on his left, and War was on his right.
Man was right, So in the name of GOD...
Will All mankind lose the land that he had trod.?

 God was dead, and we were living.
 No God was living, and we were dying.
There's no right or wrong, but we keep trying...
There's no right or wrong...
We're all gone. 
I would give you anything, if to me, You could explain.

"Opera at its Worst!"  LyndaFaye (or " Trying to Make Adriano Fontana SMILE!" ha!

Nobody with good intonation really likes this version-But HAY--I had a great time trying to take the 1st and 2nd violin "parts" and putting them together on Audacity to make that "old scratchy fiddle SOUND" anyway!
Someday we'lll get a real Nashville fiddle player to help us out with a COUNTRY AS HELL DEMO on both the female and male versions of this song, if I have to ride up to Reba's house on a quarter horse to do it!! I just won't quit!

I Saw the Light Shinin' in the Room" (Male Lyrics) Lynda's version  w two "Fake Fiddle" parts!

I  couldn't find a kazoo-but had I been able to, this would  have been something really "funny"....? That's whyI hear Liza 'a singin' it----She could carry this one off really well!  I had to play violin for the little (additives, I call them!) but I think you'll get the idea. Even the guy's sister took advantage of the poor girl-she suggests that he have her send all of her furniture back!" His "Mechanical abilities LACK"., we'll I didn't want to use the word "suck"., not a nice word for a classical violinist who writes country-folk-comedy, right ?!!



"You're the Reason I'm Not Married!" (Not Married)

You never took me anywhere...I ever wanted to go
i Never wanted to hurt your feelings; I never let it show
You said you were gonna take me to Heaven,
You drove me to church in MY car!
You're the reason I'm not married! 
How proud you were!
Two: 
I tried to tell you, you were driving me crazy;
You'd never heed the call
Tried to tell you there was something missing;
You went off like a loose cannon ball!
I'd like to say that you left me lonely,
Couldn't get you to leave at ALL!
You're the reason I'm not married! 
How proud you were!
CH: 
You're the Reason I'm not Married,
You've got burdens that no one could carry!
Guys like you are  a dime a dozen
You never loved me at all!

Three: 
I'd like to say that you were quite handy (but )
Your mechanical abilities LACK!
I Think it's time you tell your sister,I want all my furniture BACK!
Maybe it's time she move in with your cousin?
She ain't MY sister, that's a fact.
You're the reason I'm not married.
I hope you're not comin back!
CH: 
You're the Reason I'm not Married,
You've got burdens that no one could carry!
Guys like you are  a dime a dozen
You never loved me at all!
You never loved,,,You never loved me
You never loved me at all!

I term this a "Snotty Female Attitude" song-but no genre for it ? Too Bad, I'll have to invent it.

"You're the Reason I'm Not Married!" TAKE 2  W 1  VIOLIN Couldn't Find  a KAZOO!

YEP...ALL IN CAPS, 
BECAUSE, AS FRED GOLD AND I AGREED WHEN WE QUIT TAXI;
WE'RE SO DARN TIRED OF HAVING TO TYPE OUT LYRICS AND HAVE THEM EDITED, WE'RE GONNA DO WHAT'S FASTEST AND MOST EFFECIENT FOR SONGWRITERS WHO JUST DONT' HAVE TIME AWAY FROM THEIR "CREATIVE WORK" TO BE EDITING SONG LYRICS CONTINUALLY.  RIGHT FRED ? (FRED ALWAYS CORRECT ME WHEN I BECAME TOO BLUNT.!)

ONE NIGHT STAND
                                           LYNDA FAYE

IT WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND, WITH THE KIND OF A MAN,
I THOUGH I COULD MARRY,
BUT HE HAD MORE THAN I'D BARGAINED FOR,
MORE BURDANS I COULDN'T CARRY,
 CH: 
I NEVER DID IT BEFORE, 
DON'T WANT TO DO IT NO MORE
CAN'T TAKE NO MORE...
SO LORD, WON'T YOU HELP ME? 
IT WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE KIND OF A MAN,
I DONT' WANNA MEET HIM AGAIN!

TWO: 
DID YOU THINK I  HUNG AROUND  JUST BECAUSE I WAS DOWN?
JUST TO HEAR YOU CALL ME , "BABY?"
WELL, YOU WANTED TO TOUCH,  WAY TOO MUCH,
BABY YOU WERE DRIVING ME CRAZY!

I NEVER DID IT BEFORE, CAN'T TAKE NO MORE,
CH: 
I NEVER DID IT BEFORE, 
DON'T WANT TO DO IT NO MORE
CAN'T TAKE NO MORE...
SO LORD, WON'T YOU HELP ME? 
IT WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE KIND OF A MAN,
I DONT' WANNA MEET HIM AGAIN!


THREE: 

WILL THE LORD FORGIVE ME FOR  DESIRING  LOVE?
I ONLY WANTED TO BE NEAR HIM
EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I'M CLOSE TO HIM,
I SWEAR I CAN FEEL THE HEALING.

CH: 
I NEVER DID IT BEFORE, 
DON'T WANT TO DO IT NO MORE
CAN'T TAKE NO MORE...
SO LORD, WON'T YOU HELP ME? 
IT WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE KIND OF A MAN,
I DONT' WANNA MEET HIM AGAIN!







True Story:  I met this girl who needed a ride to a shelter. She said to me "If you think you've got troubles, listen to mine...Mine was a One Night Stand! " Well, after she got out of the car (My Old Dodge Dart BDK150) I went, yipes, that's a BINGO!  She was pregnant, and it was a one night stand, she said, with the kind of a man,that I thought I could marry...but, she went on and practically wrote the whole song FOR me! But it's the chorus that "got me!" LORD won't you help her, I said...and told the Lord her story! Not about me!

One Night Stand (It Was a One Night Stand)

Love song of endurance is the only genera I can think of in regard to this song! When I heard Fred singing some songs from the Eagles, I specifically suggested he sing this song. He then realized we all heard that guy from Tupelo in the heartfelt soulfulness of it; (That's a quote from Richard Scotti from Taxi, btw!)  Nobody wants to be pegged an Elvis sound-alike; but he's so close and only, really on this particular song, it's hard for me to resist mentioning the resemblence! Some people don't know a title can't be copyrighted-this copyright was 1974-so If James Taylor wanted to meet me in court, I'd certainly welcome it! Meet'em any way you can, right ? Hello James?! Good show!

DUMLET ALL VERSIONS

Don't Let me be Lonely Tonight (Fred's Solo-my original)

I STILL love this guy, so the lyrics are not TRUE! But I couldn't let it pass by as just an "instrumental" when it educes such FUN I me! Hope one of the producers of Matlock contacts me; probably be in court, but that would be Ok too-Gotta meet' em somehow! Got three more verses!

MATLOCK Tribute to Andy Griffith on the Matlock Theme

Lynda Faye and Fred Gold, together, formed the Illinois Harmony Connection, at SoundClick, and You Tube. Fred's in Illinois, Lynda in CA, so all of our music duos etc were prepared in CyberSpace, thanks to Audacity! I'm apparently an alto and a soprano-But I attended Pepperdine College on a violin scholarship, and also gave opera a shot, but I gave up on performing it! Allot of my songs are cross-overs, I realize that----Country-Gospel, Classical-Folk, along with a few comical songs. I'm a classical violinist at heart, but taught myself enough guitar with a few great influences advising me here and there (which you can hear on some of my solos!) Ben Benay wanted to teach me some arranging techniques, but I didn't have the tenacity; He said if I didn't study classical guitar, I'd never be able to write more than country folk;Guess he was right, but then the violin influence stepped in- when he heard  my humming of the violin parts, he said, "Lynda, you ARE an arranger ?" ; Paula Drake tried too, for a few years, and she's in her 80's a still goin' strong!  but I kept continuing to plug away at the writing!I had to edit this, sadly, as classmate Fred Gold (Railsback) lost his beloved wife, Ella May, last August. I'm trying to encourage him to keep at that guitar; but I'm sure he's not much in the mood; We dedicated "Ella's Garden", the song we're recorded a few years ago, as Ella's memory -as the video on "I Wanna go Back" was filmed IN Ella's back yard garden, and the song has now taken on special meaning to both of us. Won't be a "replacement for" Fred, but I found both Adriano Fontana's versatility and guitar expertise, and "Ancolies" singing a few of my songs in French for me. Won't be easy to find! I'm seeking to find some competent "versatile" musicians (and composers) who love children and have hopes for music in future generations, and perhaps a strong History Buff, to help with several children's musicals. I welcome other singers to sing my originals---My goal has never been to "be" a great singer; but to connect appropriate singers TO some of my songs: All three genres. My Folky MOR album is "Movin' On" at CDBaby. , I've "been there done that-nite clubs, Holiday Inn lounges from Ca. to Pennsylvania; I refused the Vegas offers! (too much writing to do!)  A songwriter's "Job", like most housewives...is never done, now, is it ?
Pls see the attitude of most of them who are married TO, some of those songwriters, in the "Songwriters' Serenade", or, as I'm always having difficulty finding "concise" titles...." All You Got is Words!" Some of my folky-country is on my album at CDBaby, titled "Movin On"...and I am currently trying to assemble twenty songs for " Friends, Love Songs and Heartaches." Seems viewers liked the " remakes" of the Oldies-I attribute that to Adriano's working his way in and out and around my Acapella tracks, I sent to him; I'm not easy to work with because I have trouble keeping "consistent  rhythms' . Of course Adrian has a word in Italian for that. Maybe HE should solo on a few of my songs and I'll back him on guitar; Course those would then become comedy, yes Adriano ?
Oh, all  I  m e a n t to say was "Thanks for Listening! "
