RM90 - The 80's

This song is based upon a Taiwanese legend that explains how fireflies came to be.  Here is a link to the full story:  https://islandfolklore.com/fireflies/  I'll try to give a quick overview here:  Legend has it that there were 2 sisters and their widower father.  One day, their father had to go into a distant town on business.  He said he'd be back by sundown.  Business took longer than expected, and he had to take refuge at a small inn.  The younger daughter grew worried and impatient and ran into the night to find him.  Her older sister gave chase, but got turned around in the darkness.  She prayed for light to help her find her family.  Around dawn, she was found drowned in a nearby lake.  The villagers who found her saw small globes of light hovering around her.  The gods answered her prayers, but too late.  Thus were fireflies born.

Here are the lyrics:

FIREFLY

(Chorus)
Golden Maiden, fiery light
Guide us safely home tonight
Gold dust sparks a firefly flight
We shall make it home tonight!

Where has father gone?
Young girl
“Please wait ‘til dawn.”
But she slips away (“Little Sister!”)
Elder Sister, chase your little stray!

Night has set the sun
Sister’s on the run
Praying for a spark
Stumble in the dark

(Repeat chorus)

Soon the day will break
We found her in the lake
Floating near the shore (“Big Sister!”)
Dropped and drowned
Big Sister is no more

The Gods came thru’ too late
Seems the stars create
Glowing fireflies
Where her body lies

(Repeat chorus)

The Moments /Live at Port Orange

....ich mach dich frei von allen Zwängen....

post-industrial chiptune Mantra

Columbia Overcome

I’ve got your number
You’ve got the time
Let’s sit together
It’s not a crime
For us too

Sing out in pieces
Lay down in rhyme
Refine our borders
Draw down the blinds
And make out

Like lovers are want to do
Like this boy would like to
Girl

Can’t you hear the bell ring
It’s over
I’m though 
Laying on the canvas in front of you

Just like a movie
My heart flutters 
Soft lighting
In technocolor
Ooh

Break out that smile
Your dignitary
I’ll have to file
For mercy baby
And kiss you

Like lovers are want to do
Like this boy would like to
Girl

Can’t you hear the bell ring
It’s over
I’m though 

Whoa oh set me by your side
Until now 
My life has been
Misapplied 

Like lovers are want to do
Like this boy would like to
Girl

Can’t you hear the bell ring
It’s over
I’m though 
Laying on the canvas in front of you

You can wear my jacket
Bequeath it
To whatever cause you might
Write a new writ 
And hold me

Tight like you want to 
You know I need you
Be still my heart
But not like it’d be
If you ever left me

Like lovers are want to do
But unlike this boy would like to
Girl

Can’t you hear the bell ring
It’s over
I’m though 

Whoa oh set me by your side
Until now 
My life has been
Misapplied

Misapplied

I'm makin' this up as I go along.  Here you will find songs in various states of completion--some of them actually finished!  Most are by "Moon to Monk",  but there are tunes by "Blond Weasel" (a band I'm in with my brother Christopher).  There are several collaborations with talented people.   I hope you find something to dig here. 

PS:  I have several original music videos posted to "youtube", and "facebook".  Please check them out if you like.  Just click the appropriate links below.
