A tale of horror.

Keith TimmOns w/mOag - Sour Tides

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."
~ https://jesusway4you.com/2020/06/24/signs-and-symbols-of-the-bible-jordan-river/

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

I Dreamed I Saw My Brother FT Beto Quintero (UKSC: Star Rating: 5 Commended Entry 2023)

Back in the day when there were albums, this song would have been the last track on the B-side, that most of the band didn’t want on include at all. Poor structure, no obvious genre, not enough repetition, too long, etc, all fair points. Anyway, this is my B-side album filler that gets me kicked out of the band due to 'creative differences'. 

Thanks to my friend Johnny Mc Farlane who stood up for the song, made some great suggestions and for good measure, added the amazing solo. 

Thinking back to a lifetime ago, living in the Bronx, driving on the Major Deegan, hot summer evenings, going nowhere in particular, sketchy air con, Indigo Girls CD on full volume, trying to sing those amazing harmonies.  

Blink of an eye and all these years have past. Lots of water under the George Washington Bridge since then.

Is that alright with you ?

for an old mate.............cheers for having a listen


sometimes i don't feel like being the social kind
catchup with you another day
i just need some time away, hope you don't mind

i did my time, paid my dues
wiped away my tears, sang my blues
said my goodbyes, some much too late
went to sleep with the devil, woke up a saint

if i could i think i would, get far away so im never found
but then again i don't like flying
so i'll just keep my good foot on the ground

i fought too much, sometimes not enough
tried to smooth out the edges, when its naturally rough
i've buttoned my lip, then yelled so loud
hung my head, then never felt so proud

to be a loner

Loner

Go with the flow on this psychedelic reality check!

Psychedelic Reality Check

An unfinished work.  The kind of track that stays sleeping till a time comes and you make the magick.

Des fois
Texte Yves 13
Chant : Julia
Musique : Alain Illos

des fois je sens que le temps vient
j'l'entends qui jappe comme un chien
l'impatient qui veut m'entrainer
allez viens-t-en l'heure a sonné
viens on s'en va voir les collines
et les p'tits chemins qui cheminent
ceux qui broussaillent entre les pins
d'où le soleil n'est jamais loin
ceux-là qui sont tes préférés
dont les vallons ont le secret
et puis qui grimpent jusqu'au crêt
là où la mer se fait forêt
viens-t-en jouer au P'tit Poucet
vider tes poches et tout laisser
aux écureuils aux sangliers
il n'y'a pas mieux pour oublier
et ce jour-là il fera beau
mon pot' le clair soleil là-haut
aura juste un léger penchant
à s'incliner vers le couchant
pour me céder un peu de place
de bonne grâce dans l'espace
des fois je sens que vient le temps
d'aller m'enterrer dans le vent

Des Fois  avec Julia

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.
