Hope in Earth at Gasteiz

My latest song sketch...Hope you enjoy

Lyrics:

I never wanted anything
More than you could give
Just a song that I could sing
A reason for this heart to live
I'm tired of wastin' all my time
In this hotel without a view
I'm ready to get back in line
Oh girl bring me some happy news

That you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
I won't turn and run
That's never been my style

I know we've been in love before
It seems like oh so long ago
But girl I never closed the door
That is the thing you've got to know
I may have hid the way I feel
From you, myself, and everyone
The only way that I could deal 
But girl there's no more need to run

'Cause you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
Don't turn and run
That's never been your style
'Cause you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
Don't turn and run
That's never been your style

You're The One

My first collaboration and I'm thrilled to say it's with my buddy, *thommo*, who introduced me to the amazing SC community. It all started with a lovey *thommo* chord progression that gave me some serious guitar lick inspiration. Look out for his alternative version of C19 which is out now!

Hope you enjoy and ever grateful for your support.

Some folks just never settle down and time is of the essence!  A kind of nod to JJ Cale's Mr. Breeze.

Lyrics;
Every day a river will find the sea
You know you've found a forest just by seeing the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else, nobody's gonna find me

Cause I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

You've called the wrong number if I answer the phone
If you're sending me a letter it's addressee unknown
My door is always open but I'm never at home
It's good to be with someone, but I'm better alone

Look from where I'm standing, it's a big world out there
And I'm bound to find my dreams  but I just don't know where
And time's in short supply  no one has got much to spare
But I'm happy for the little time that you and I shared

I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

And every day the river will find the sea
Not hard to find a forest when you're under the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else is why you'll never find me

OIL IT UP

Me and you we used to have some fun girl
Now your gonna leave and break me all apart 
Well let’s keep it classy if you’re gonna shoot me through the heart
Cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean your gun

Oil it up 
I’ll clean your gun
Oil it up 
I'll clean your gun

When we went out it was always with a bang girl
So funny that it ends the very same way
Well let me get dressed up and die young and pretty for you honey
Cos if I’m your latest target
Let me clean your gun you dirty girl

You talk like you had thought about it
But even when you brought about it
I was not so sure that you were talking straight or aiming straight
But now the conversations pointed 
Let me clean that gun you dirty girl
Yeah!

Set your sights a little higher, one in the barrel or one up the spout, 
If we could maybe talk a little more we could just work it out
But let's not use that trigger thang
Yer 'cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean that gun you dir-dirty girl
Yeah-yeah!

Let Me Clean Your Gun

Oil It Up

I saw kings and queens and horses and fools
on a black & white board in a game with no rules
high heeled ladies dripping with jewels
and beggars a begging with an eye that drools
I saw scenes oh man i can hardly tell
some obscene and bizarre mixing heaven and hell
a cold silent spring a white masquerade
in the middle of June a Halloween parade
not one pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw a pale frozen sun as from the outer space
saw jailers on the run not wearing a face
blazes a burnin’ the old mountain range
hurricanes blowing like a mind that’s deranged
I saw things oh man you wouldn’t believe
it’s crazy what a brain in sleep can conceive
anger and thunder black turning to fade
the future a swinging on the edge of a blade
in the yellowish sky no unicorns in flight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw Jesus bad tripping alongside Broadway
some tarot cards reader having nothing to say
but also i found as i passed my way
an orphan baby sparrow and that made my day
I saw a film oh man i just lack the words
and the screen was as large as the entire world
watchers a walking in a state of stupor
wondering what’s my acting and who’s the director
but no bonze in the air gliding on a kite
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw thousands of planes dead stuck on the ground
such a blast in an harbor it exploded the town
broken wings broken hearts in the port of shadows
a rastaman playing Piaf singing la vie en rose
I saw a woman oh man who gave me an eye
saying we’ll meet again in the sweet bye and bye
i got lost on my way and forced to the ground
i got caught in a loop like in 4th time around
down the pit did i see any flickering light?
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw lovers and friends who could not embrace
armies of zombies looking for solace
i heard echoes in time from the sweet golden age
of parsley and thyme rosemary and sage
I saw you oh man and you didn’t look great
petrified like you saw a demon at your gate
and while deciphering as a riddle your frown
i wondered could it mean the whole world’s upside down
and still no pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
With some hopes and illusions tight clenched in my fist
i wandered along the old route 66
but trying to express all that i missed
it’s trying to grab a ghost in the mist
And i ain’t superstitious but i sure did see
a black cat in the night with eyes glaring at me
what i saw my friend was beyond belief
and i hoped that the morning would bring some relief
but alas alas what is life but a dream
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
And for sure not pink elephant in flight
In the dream i had last night
And the ones that i love i held them so tight
In the dream i had last night
And i enjoyed the past as a Turkish delight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night

TURKISH DELIGHT (Lyrics)

Goodbye Feather             
Janine Levinson 2020

I sent Jon Lock a raggedy track with vocals, keyboards and some of the worst drums I've ever generated. He managed to make beauty in spite of all of that. I dumped those darned drums and mixed it up once I heard the lovely accompaniment he'd made. Thank you @jon-lock-5

Goodbye Feather 

It’s dark in the morning and you’re asleep
Warm and dreaming while I plan my retreat

I’m nobody’s no one, never wanted you as mine
You've got a real heart, I’m gonna leave you behind

I‘m not as good as what you'll find 

I wish I was as sweet as a song
And as clear as a windy piece of sky
I'd lift you, my Feather    
I'd keep us together
Instead of saying goodbye    
But I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye

Alone here this morning It feels black and white
I drew you in pencil 'cause I overlooked your light

Go find you a painter
With some deeper blues and greens
Not these pale shades of passion
That we're living in between
We're not as good as love can be

I wish we were as sweet as a song
As clear as a windy piece of sky
I'd lift you, my Feather and we'd stay together
Instead of saying goodbye 
But I'm saying goodbye
goodbye

good bye  

good bye    

good bye    

good bye

Goodbye Feather - with Jon Lock

Sometimes this life feels like a movie...so I guess the music I make is my personal soundtrack to it...Hope you enjoy...

You're The One
