Thats a really fun accompaniment - totally original - and I didn't know you sang, good stuff

Wow, I love it. The melody is my favorite, reminds me of when I was a kid

Lovely song and history, yes Pablo….cool if you listened to se f my tracks, Thank you

Great song - love the flowing piano within the accompaniment. Highly original but with a sort of Randy Newman-esque feel to it. Congrats!

For all older sisters but specially for Jemima and Matilda.

Older Sister

A new song from David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Glen sent me a music track with bass, drums and organ on it and asked me if I could add guitars, lyrics and melody/vocals.

This is the result.

Hope you like how it turned out.

Lyrics are:

Let me go down to the sea so blue
Let me see the ships go sailing through
Let me do what I want to do
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me feel the sun on my back again
Let me feel no more physical pain
Let me go back from where I came
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

There’s a pocket in my heart
It’s such a special part
It’s where I keep my love for you
It’s the only thing to do

Let me go down to the river tonight
Let me take in such a beautiful sight
Let me know that I’m feeling right
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me feel the love I should have known
Let me see the people that have gone
Let me feel I’m not on my own
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

Solo

Let me know what is right from wrong
Let me be the only one
Let me sing my favourite song
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me see the moon shining bright
Let me see the stars tonight
Let me see their mystical light
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

Solo/Bridge

Let me see the children grow
Let me learn all there is to know 
Let me follow my own shadow
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me just win once or twice
Let me see a new morn’s light
Let me see things that's nice
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Pocket in my heart (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

August 2022
Inspired by an email from a friend who recently sent me an email with the title 'Plus Ca Change'

Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose.......
The more things change the more they stay the same......
The unfortunate reality of our current political situation.
  
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
That’s what they say, that’s how it goes
They say they’re changing but everybody knows
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose	

What’s the point, nobody knows 
So called democracy is just changing its clothes
And they’ll say anything you want if it matches their polls
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose

And what you gonna do today	
Will you be wasting your time 	
Trying to change one little thing 
And hoping it will work out fine_________

Politicians, the new comedian race
With puppet masters to keep them in place
So here we go again another marionette show
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose

And what we gonna do today
Will we be wasting our time 
Trying to change one little thing 
And hoping it will work out fine_____

Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
That’s what they say, that’s how it goes
They say they’re changing but everybody knows
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose

Well, what’s wrong with me?
I should have loved you more
You were good to me
I should have loved you more
You made my dreams come true
I should have loved you more
What’s wrong with me?
What’s wrong with me?

I’m a fool
I should have loved you more
You were true to me
I should have loved you more
You gave me everything
I should have loved you more
I’m a fool
I’m a fool

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

Am I crazy?
I should have loved you more
You were my best friend
I should have loved you more
You were a blessing
I should have loved you more
Am I crazy?
Or am I crazy?

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

I Should Have Loved You More

Fictional meeting (scene - outdoor table of Paris restaurant in 1972), between Simone de Beauvoir, John-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Claire Parnet and Gilles Deleuze. The 'mister' is the 'mister death' of E.E. Cummings. Claire Parnet is still young, and very much alive.

Lyrics

Claire and Simone
sitting at a table
in Hausmannian loveshine (chorus: sunshine)
Having a real good time
makin fun of the boys John-Paul

was wearing a suit
he looked just like an undertaker
Gilles couldn’t hardly breath for laughing
spilt coffee on his purple sweater

The ladies were teasing Michel as well
dressed up like a biker
black leather jacketed biker
with his roll neck sweater below
should ha left the jacket at home
Simone told him

she said he looked like a criminal

and Michel smiled and liked that a lot
and Claire smiled and liked that a lot
and Gilles smiled and liked that a lot
and JP said ‘nothing’

Haussmanian loveshine
philosophical sunshine
ontological outfits...what you gonna do?

There was a clean white linen tablecloth
with half a lemon on the table
cos someone thought
Simone wanted lemon in her tea

She asked the waiter for an ashtray for JP
and make it snappy if you please
cos he was telling how his mother was a stranger
and how his father’s death had been a blessing
cos he never met him

and they laughed about that too
in Haussmanian loveshine
philosophical sunshine
ontological outfits

with lemons on the table in the sunshine
in the spring of seventy two
talking bout 68
don’t talk about 68 again
cos times listening

There was half a lemon on the table
in the sunshine
by Foucault
just a minute ago...

and what i want to know is
what I really what to know is

where’s your blue eyedboy mister?
where’s your browneyed girl mister?

what i want to know is

how d’you like your blueeyed boy?
how do you like your browneyed girl?
how d’you like your blueeyed boy?
how do you like your browneyed girl....mister...mister?
how do you like em?
how do you like em?
how do you like em?
how do you like em?
how do you like em?
now?

Claire et Simone
assis à une table
en haussmannien loveshine (refrain : soleil)
Passer un vrai bon moment
se moquer des garçons John-Paul

portait un costume
il ressemblait à un croque-mort
Gilles avait du mal à respirer de rire
café renversé sur son pull violet

Les dames taquinaient Michel aussi
habillé comme un motard
motard en cuir noir
avec son pull col roulé en dessous
aurait dû laisser la veste à la maison
Simone lui a dit

elle a dit qu'il ressemblait à un criminel

et Michel souriait et aimait beaucoup ça
et Claire a souri et a beaucoup aimé
et Gilles souriait et aimait beaucoup ça
et JP a dit "rien"

L'amour haussmannien
soleil philosophique
tenues ontologiques... qu'est-ce que tu vas faire ?

Il y avait une nappe de lin blanc propre
avec un demi-citron sur la table
Parce que quelqu'un a pensé
Simone voulait du citron dans son thé

Elle a demandé au serveur un cendrier pour JP
et rendez-le accrocheur s'il vous plaît
Parce qu'il racontait que sa mère était une étrangère
et comment la mort de son père avait été une bénédiction
Parce qu'il ne l'a jamais rencontré

et ils en ont ri aussi
en loveshine haussmannien
soleil philosophique
tenues ontologiques

avec des citrons sur la table au soleil
au printemps de soixante-douze
parler de 68
ne parle plus du 68
parce que le temps écoute

Il y avait un demi-citron sur la table
dans le rayon de soleil
par Foucault
il y a juste une minute...

et ce que je veux savoir c'est
ce que je dois vraiment savoir, c'est

où est ton garçon aux yeux bleus monsieur?
où est votre fille aux yeux bruns monsieur?

ce que je veux savoir c'est

comment trouvez-vous votre garçon aux yeux bleus?
comment aimez-vous votre fille aux yeux bruns?
comment trouvez-vous votre garçon aux yeux bleus?
comment aimez-vous votre fille aux yeux bruns .... monsieur ... monsieur?
comment les aimes-tu?
comment les aimes-tu?
comment les aimes-tu?
comment les aimes-tu?
comment les aimes-tu?
maintenant?
