There Once Was

© 2023 Pantomime Riot

Fire drops walls can’t  protect
Filthy water that will infect
Bleached bones in the midday sun
Shots rattle from a distant gun
Into the trailer single file
Another misplaced juvenile
Stench is strong as heads are bowed
Tightly packed no bags allowed

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

Dipping under rusted wire
Leaving the frying pan for the fire
Slip down to the rugged shore
Face pressed to the salty floor
Push against the currents force
Whispering voices plot a course
Waves crashing as you start to slide
There’s no sign of the other side

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand

Dirty bandage fallen slack.
Hands burnt from the last attack.
Biometrics have been destroyed.
The guard looks tired and seems annoyed.
Status can’t be verified
Documents won’t be supplied.
Ushered off to the holding cell.
Your latest twisted living hell.

Dark waters to a better path
Slide away from the aftermath
Heard tales of a promised land
Can’t be far now close at hand.

The World Is Burning (Drifting Embers)open

'Crossing The Boundary' Is a Jazz Fusion piece inspired by the growing sense of a lack of compassion and respect for one another and the land. The building in the cover image and taken by Freddy Bence, demonstrating what I am sensing "world wide". A downward spiral in care for ouselves and our surroundings.
However, forever the optimist, I look forward to an upward turn in the situation, when common sense once again hits in.
My thanks to Freddy for his superb camera skills and you can visit his page here: https://soundcloud.com/fjbence

Thank you for listening and any comments you care to leave will be received with much gratitude.

7th Heavenly day天国みたいな日を見上げて  

I’m trapped in the ice of rule

The ice is like a trackway
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is embracing me

The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water
The ice is becoming sparkle water

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway
Old rules are on the ground
It’s so faraway

Look up above the 7th Heavenly day
Look up above the 7th Heavenly day

Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away
Rain is melting the ice of me away

私は囚われている
ルールの氷に
古い街道の様な氷だ
雨は私の氷を溶かしてくれる
雨が私を優しく包んでいる
氷はキラキラした水になっている
７番目よりもっと上の天国な日を見上げて見てよ
古いルールが地面に落ちている
とても遠くに

"Indigenous" marks a return to the sound of my 2021 tribal/world percussion album "Vibrations Empowered Within". 
https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/vibrations-empowered-within

After a break I had a desire to revisit the sound palette that characterized that album.
For those that have resonated with the album I hope this is a welcome return, and for those that have not experienced the album, I welcome you to some free codes:

Mood Exhibit - Indigenous

When that title slipped into my mind it was all go and the early verse work felt bluesy with certainly blue notes to sing. The chorus wrote itself around the title with jazz chords. Changing key to the variation was natural enough but quite a long journey back to the verse again.

Art in her Bones

Out on the left - she’s made it her home
Some think she’s weird – and likely getting’ stoned alone
But I’m on the hook - just reel me in
It’s the art in her bones - that makes her what she seems to be
The art in her bones - makes a thrill inside of me 

Sometimes at night- she wakes from a dream
She runs to her paint – got to liberate that scene
Then after an hour - she’s layin’ back down
It’s the art in her bones . . .

She don’t deal with accounts and rates and supermarkets
She’s driftin’ through hazy lanes and blocks of colour
And something someone said three nights ago
She put that friend in embargo
Gotta work it through on canvas - then they’ll thaw in a tryst

They’ll work it out – those ladies of rhyme
They just need the moon – to tell them when the time is right
And me I can wait – for that special night

When she gives she’s layin over us 
Starlight curves across her body real – we’re playin’ seals
Lazy floppy as the sunlight grows
We talk of us as forever – and after that still together
Neath the door’s a gentle zephyr

Hey let us rise – it’s quarter to one
In the café - love our whacky talkie fun
The way she sees things – my soul it just sings

ART IN HER BONES
