"Within". A quiet love ballad with few instruments.
A few months ago, Jonathan Mark Davies wrote and sent me, as many times before, a bundle of self-written lyrics. It is not always easy to make a suitable melody and this melody and recording was intended as a first demo. In the rare case, we stopped there and released the song exactly as it was. Just like flowers in a meadow. Nothing exactly in line like in a strict park but still nice in its freedom. Hope you like the song. // Reine

WITHIN

---------------
If I could talk to you again
I’d cry into your heart
Love is the only thing we know
 
Cry into your dreams
And I will float to you
For love is the only thing I know
 
So hold me in your thoughts
And I will sing my love to you
What more can I do
When our love was of so true oooo

I feel the love that’s all within
I know the blood where it begins
Like the high note of a violin
I’ll continue your note as next of kin
Mmmm
I can feel it within

If,  I could talk with you
I’d talk into your heart
Love is the only thing we know
 
Fly into all your dreams
And the love that you give
For love is the only thing we know
 
Hold me into your thoughts
And i will sing my love to you
What more can I do
When our love was of so true oooo

I feel the love that’s all within
I know the blood where it begins
Like the high note of a violin
I’ll continue your note as next of kin
Mmmm
And I can feel it within
I can feel it within
I can feel it within

Within

15 Min City 
A zoo for humanity
An illusion of democracy
A swamp for tyranny 

15 Min City 
For your digital currency
Where no-one is free
Police state security 

15 Min City
Theft of all your property 
Carbon credit surety 
Legal theft and piracy 

15 Min City 
All religion heresy 
Vaccinations involuntary 
A future with no guarantee 

15 Min City
With no proof of authority
Life with no warranty 
surrender your usufructuary

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Man of Constant Sorrow"  is a traditional American folk song first recorded by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally recorded by Burnett as "Farewell Song" printed in a Richard Burnett songbook, circa 1913. 

There is some uncertainty whether Dick Burnett himself wrote the song. One claim is that it was sung by the Mackin clan in 1888 in Ireland and that Cameron O'Mackin emigrated to Tennessee, brought the song with him, and performed it.
In an interview he gave toward the end of his life, Burnett himself indicated that he could not remember:

Charles Wolfe: "What about this "Farewell Song" – 'I am a man of constant sorrow' – did you write it?"
Richard Burnett: "No, I think I got the ballad from somebody – I dunno. It may be my song.

MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW ( Adapted Lyrics )
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days.
I bid farewell to southern England 
The place where I was born and raised.

(The place where I was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

( I have  no friends to help me now)

I'm bound to ride an Asian  railroad
I think  I'll die upon this train.

(I think  I'll die upon this train)

Maybe you think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise  that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

( I'll meet you on God's golden shore)

Within
