Miser (v5 Cover V2)

I was really stoked to hear from letterfounder that he'd finished his song 'back at the cave', based around my instrumental 'writ in air'. 
I love his fascinating, exploratory music, great lyrics and vocals. For more of his excellent work visit: https://letterfounder.bandcamp.com

back at the cave -- letterfounder (ft. learningtoplay)

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
When I wrote this duet, I had Amanda Sanderson's distinctively beautiful voice in mind. The song itself is an outgrowth or continuation of a poetry collection I published a few years ago, "The Book of Arabella."
Both the song and the poems are about a mysterious, otherworldly woman, Arabella, who feels trapped in a marriage, trapped in fact in her human body.
Here's a link to that poetry collection for the curious:

(...and yes, that is actually our cat in the photo on the big clock above the piano)
Instruments used:
All three guitar tracks played on my Gretsch 5622T
plus Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass
Angel chorus sung by angels...well, actually Alchemy synth

***Cat on a Clock***
(Words & music by Timothy Walsh)
Verse 1 (Him)
You come softly down the stairs into my waiting arms.
Hand you coffee, touch your hair…it seems that you’re not there.
I don’t say it but I know, on this special day,
your body’s here with me, but you’re a million miles away.
I don’t say it—I don’t want to tell no one—
You’re going nowhere but you’re always on the run.

Verse 2 (Arabella)
Morning comes, I stretch in bed, see the sun come through the blinds.
Hear you in the kitchen there, smell the coffee so divine.
I rub my eyes, decide if I can slide into this day,
or maybe spread my wings and softly fly away.
I don’t know why I’m so restless in this world.
It’s like I’m from some country where I can’t return.

CHORUS:
You’re like a cat upon a clock sleeping in the sun,
whiling away your time on earth until our day is done.
Just like a cat upon a clock dreaming through the day
while the world outside goes on and softly spins away.

Verse 3 (Him)
Twilight comes and I see you in the garden where
the cedars and the pines are your sisters in the sky.
You walk out among the herbs, barefoot on the bricks,
smell the chervil and the thyme that never ask you why.
You’re so lost to me I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’m so in love with every single thing you do.

Verse 4 (Arabella)
Some days I wish that I could go flying through the sky—
spread my wings just like a crow and take off with a sigh.
Somewhere beyond the moon, I think I’ll find my home,
far away from this earth and this house of flesh and bone.
I’m not angry, I just don’t know how to say
I’m a creature not like you in any way.

CHORUS (sung twice)

This song took a while. I am to blame for it. 
We have Ed (@livra-lamento-blues) with emotional vocals and AL (@al-z-z-z)on his wonderful lead guitar, and on top of that, Evan Sidawi with his mixing and mastering skills. Enjoy!
______
In loneliness
In the dark
Nothing could be worse than us apart
I don't wanna let you down
With my mood swings and impulsive acts
So I have to hide my soul … in that dark cellar … you know
Your judgments always make me sick
But you're just a player not a judge
And why drag these heavy chains if we wanna be light as the breeze

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Your constructions are so unreal
So you punish me with how you feel
Your convictions instead of trust
You don't believe but I know you're wrong
I'm used to these shadowy paths 
But it's different now … always different anyway
And the truth became a stranger 

Fight is over … both lost
It's not a fair game … just a farce 
We're all poisoned … until when?  
The court is bluffing … witness lies 
The judge is drinking … with those bad guys
The scenes are faked … all the time 
And all I wanna is hold you tight

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Matthew 18:21-22  New International Version
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times”

70 Times (Matthew 18:22)

This was originally titled Exit Stage Left, a little instrumental I had composed until nic @nic_nic_nic did a total remix of it and added vocals.

Right from the get go, I'm mad till the end...

I'm mean, lean, cruel, obscene... Not only am I Elvis, I'm also James Dean.
