Listening Post: Batch 538

Heaven Sent

Be Made For Me

Violet

Love Her Anyway

LOVE IS OVERRATED

The Raving accusations
Vehement condemnations
Without sin, She shouts so loud
From way above the crowd

Under, the gallows
Umbra of shadows
Sundered and shallow
Gather all, see the fall

We fall straight through the earth
Now cover us in the dirt
No longer will we hurt
This honor has been earned

Innocence accused 
The bright ones choose
Now how can you sleep at night

Consequence visits after light
The screams deafening
No more sleep at night

The Raving accusations
Vehement condemnations
Without sin, She shouts so loud
From way above the crowd

Under, the gallows
Umbra of shadows
Sundered and shallow
Gather all to see the fall

We fall straight through the earth
Now cover us in the dirt
No longer will we hurt
Corruption has been burned

Innocence accused 
The bright ones choose
Now how can you sleep at night

Consequence visits after light
The screams deafening
No more sleep at night

We are all falling
We are all falling down
We are all falling
But never touch the ground

I can’t see
I can’t breathe,
The shadows 
are drowning me.

And I know
the shadows
will consume 
the light…

From my eyes.
All the lies,
Shining bright
between the stones

Pillars from the sky
Have come to take me home

Unforgiven, she shouts so loud
From way below the ground

Under, the gallows
Umbra of shadows
Sundered and shallow
Gather all to see the fall

We fall straight through the earth
Now cover us in the dirt
No longer will we hurt
This honor has been urned

Full reproduction cover of the classic Pink Floyd tune from Dark Side Of The Moon. Fabulous female vocal by my good friend and long time singing partner Tone Hjelt from Oslo, Norway. Everything is newly recorded from scratch except some beginning sounds (for authenticity), and a few choice Gilmour guitar licks in last verse. Was a blast putting this together, hope you enjoy!!

Breathe (Pink Floyd Cover)- Duet with Tone Hjelt

Really enjoying playing with AI. This was actually an early experimental song. Many of the first couple of dozen songs were generated from an idea, a title and a synopsis - to save time and hold back my own songs, although there are well over two hundred written between 1959 and to-date. This was one of those generated songs. 
Thanks to Suno for a great few weeks fun - so far. The song is copyright protected.

Our Love's A Wild Fire (edit)

On a Clear Day

Flickers In The Moonlight

The story of Icarus came into my memory recently, and this piece is the result.  

It is a tale of King Minos, a labyrinth, and a deadly monster, the Minotaur.  It is a tale about Theseus, a hero who succeeds in subduing the monster to save fourteen youth taken from another land as the Kings offering to satiate the monsters appetite. It’s also a tale of the labyrinth’s inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus, who are punished for helping the hero and banished to a remote island to live their remaining days.  It’s also is a tale of feathers and wax, of directions and attention. Ultimately, it is a tale about staying focused on our goals since losing focus of our goals can lead to us crash and burn, or, in Icarus’ case drown in the sea.

O Icarus, O Icarus, fly in the middle of the air
The sun will melt the sealing wax
The sea your feathers tear
O Icarus, O Icarus, don’t watch the northern skies
Or change course to Orion’s Belt
Don’t turn your wandering eyes
Follow me and stay the course
Keep your eyes on freedoms prize

This song features me on all instruments.

Icarus

Lyrics: 
All at once it came to me
All these years I can't believe I couldn't see
I must have been too caught up in my own emotional immaturity

You were the only one that gave me a good life
You were the only one that treated me right
When I fell apart you cared about my feelings
The only one to treat me like a human being
You were the only one

This morning on my way to work
I thought I saw your face in the crowd
When I turned and looked again you were gone

You were the only one that seemed to care
You were the one that taught me life ain't Fair
When you went away I fell apart
The only one to ever break my heart
You were the only one



the only one (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by  Prod. peril)
