Despacio
(John Stone)

Spanish Language consultants: Duolingo and Google Translate
With apologies to Spanish speakers everywhere.

She was a dancer
In old town Barcelona 
I asked her if she’d show me 
How I could  learn to dance 
She said no problem, Guapo
But One thing you must remember
First take it slow slow slowly
Y luego rapido
Despacio y  luego rapido 
Despacio y luego rapido

Era Una bailarina
En vieja Barcelona
Puedes me mostraba
Me aprender a bailar 
no hay problema, Guapo
Pero debes recordar lo
Despacio y luego rapido 

Dijó me despacio ..

So I took to the dance floor
Put my best foot forward
Starting out quite slowly
Just like the lady said
As I watched her closely
The rhythm kinda caught me
But I was paying  more attention
To how she looked than what she said

I wondered how to win her
And don’t want to seem a fool
I’m only a beginner
And it best to play it cool
Don’t rush in like fools do
Where Angels fear to tred
Gently, gently does it
Try a slower pace instead

Despacio...

Now we live together 
And despite some stormy weather
We can always turn to dancing 
To keep things burning hot
As I hold her closely
I remember what she told me
Starting gently, starting slowly
Then give everything I’ve got

Despacio...

remix of: https://soundcloud.com/user-260441121/zone-cruiser-directing-demons
... his mix of AI material, mangled into something new and own ...; delivered as open collab.
I added some robot sounds, a warm pad and an EWI wahwah trumpet, improvisation in one go
to bring in the human touch, kind of "man against machine" vibe :-)

Lyrics: 

I’m feeling myself right now
 I’ve smoked up all my dark clouds 
And all my demons follow me around
  Like they are scared of me, I reached higher ground

I’m just pain 
crammed into a girl 
So I choose to chain-smoke myself 
out of this world 

Nothing, nothing 
can calibrate me 
I don’t fit in society

I'm touching the sky right now
 I can't hear your hate, I'm up in the clouds 
And all my friends follow me around
 ‘Cause it's so fucking boring 
to be walking on the ground

I’m just pain 
crammed into a girl  
So I choose to chain-smoke myself 
out of this world 

Nothing, nothing 
can calibrate me
 I don’t fit in society

Now I'm swapping to dark mode 
Just pressure, no diamonds
 Push my buttons, I'm cut-throat 
I feed off your envy, and I crave more

I'm flickering like a lightbulb
 I’m a psych-thriller, the goddess of gore 
 Dreamy eyes always hide nightmares galore 
I think you hate me more (Snap!)
than you can afford

That look on your face (horror!)
 I gave you goosebumps, can I have some?
 Lose the sheep’s clothing, I like bones
 Bitch I eat wolves when I'm stoned

Now I'm swapping to dark mode 
Just pressure, no diamonds
 Push my buttons, I'm cut-throat 
I feed off your envy, and I crave more

I'm flickering like a lightbulb
 I’m a psych-thriller, the goddess of gore 
 Dreamy eyes always hide nightmares galore 
I think you hate me more (Snap!)
than you can afford

That look on your face (horror!)
 I gave you goosebumps, can I have some?
 Lose the sheep’s clothing, I like bones
 Bitch I eat wolves when I'm stoned

Now I'm swapping to dark mode 
Just pressure, no diamonds
 Push my buttons, I'm cut-throat 
I feed off your envy, and I crave more

I'm flickering like a lightbulb
 I’m a psych-thriller, the goddess of gore 
 Dreamy eyes always hide nightmares galore 
I think you hate me more (Snap!)
than you can afford

That look on your face (horror!)
 I gave you goosebumps, can I have some?
 Lose the sheep’s clothing, I like bones
 Bitch I eat wolves when I'm stoned

Dedicated to HH

This song began in 2011 and has changed its melody and lyrics somewhat since then. I'm usually more of a singer-songwriter. This one is more pop.
What hasn't changed over the years is the longing for people to live without war.
It's not that everyone loves me, or that I love everyone. Nevertheless, I'm not constantly threatened or beaten by people in my personal life just because I think and live differently.
And I personally have no desire to harass or even kill people just because I don't share their interests or outlook on life. So, on the level down here, almost everyone gets along without murder and manslaughter.
That should be possible on the higher level too, right?
Or not, since other interests prevail there?
When I stay awake and see where death and destruction are currently raging everywhere,
I don't really believe the message of my own lyrics.
It's just an illusion, fantastic nonsense.
But I allow myself to dream. The alternative would be despair.
And I have no desire for that any more than I have for war.

Dieses Lied nahm seine Anfänge 2011 und hat Melodie und Text seitdem etwas verändert. Sonst bin ich ja mehr so Liedermacher-mäßig unterwegs. Hier ist es doch eher Pop.
Was sich in den vielen Jahren nicht verändert hat, ist die Sehnsucht, dass Menschen ohne Krieg leben.
Es ist nicht so, dass mich alle Menschen lieben oder dass ich alle Menschen liebe.
Dennoch werde ich im persönlichen Bereich nicht ständig von Menschen bedroht oder geschlagen, nur weil ich anders denke und lebe. Und ich selbst habe auch keine Lust Menschen zu bedrängen oder gar zu töten, nur weil ich nicht ihre Interessen oder Lebensansichten teile.
Also auf der Ebene hier unten klappt es doch fast mit allen Menschen ohne Mord und Totschlag.
So sollte es doch auch der höheren Ebene möglich sein.
Oder nicht, da dort andere Interessen herrschen?
Wenn ich wach bleibe und sehe, wo gegenwärtig überall Tod und Zerstörung wüten, glaube ich selbst nicht so recht an die Botschaft des eigenen Textes.
Ist doch nur Illusion, fantastische Spinnerei.
Aber ich gestatte es mir zu träumen. Die Alternative wäre Verzweiflung.
Und darauf habe ich genauso wenig Lust wie auf Krieg.


Immer wieder danke Frank, für Deine Geduld, sich mit einem Laien die Aufnahmesessions um die Ohren zu hauen und dann noch was ganz Ordentliches daraus zu machen.
Thank you again and again, Frank, for your patience in going through the recording sessions with a complete amateur and then making something really decent out of it.

Lyrics proofreading in English my dear friend and musician Sabine Weber 


You and me and one

1.
Little girl, pretty springtime’s bud
Her whole life is warm and bright, she’s so fresh and free
Little girl in a little world
Playing wonderful games and she lives in harmony

Ref.: 
You and me and one are three
Late springtime not too late to start the game
Not too late to calm the storm of violence
For the innocent to be released

Fife, six, seven, earth and heaven
Many weak hearts make a brave heart that can reach the aim
Little steps of love become the biggest march
With all people we can live in………….peace?

2.
Lady young, many years are gone
Wakes up painfully in a cruel world’s reality
And she recognizes all of mankind’s works
But she takes the chance of planting an apple tree

Ref.: 
You and me and one are three
Late springtime not too late to start the game
Not too late to calm the storm of violence
For the innocent to be released
Fife, six, seven, earth and heaven
Many weak hearts make a brave heart that can reach the aim
Little steps of love become the biggest march
Little steps of love become the biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest….
March
Many weak hearts make a brave heart that can reach the aim
Little steps of love become the biggest march, little steps of love…..
With all people…., with all people…..
We can live in…….., live in……….,
Live in peace.

You and me and one

IT NEVER RAINS FOREVER
V1
Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be
Perhaps it was the guru on the video
Telling me to stack sats and enjoy the show

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
But things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever

V2
What if there was enough gold to go around?
What if there was no more war to be found?
What if there was no more Left, no more Right?
No more reason to argue and fight

What if there was just one King?
One true and righteous King of kings
I believe He’s with us here and now
Exposing this world’s sacred cow

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
Oh, but things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains, never rains forever

BRIDGE
Empires rise, empires fall
Ages come, ages go
These are incredible times
New seeds to sow, whoa-whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa……
……..whoa-whoa, whoa

CHORUS/TAG
Things are hard, hard right now
But things will get better, yeah-ee-yeh
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever
Things will get better, yeah
You gotta believe
Things always get better, whoa-whoa, whoa..

I don’t know exactly how but things will get better, yeah, whoa-whoa

Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be…whoa-whoa
