Glacial Melt

V1: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, 10,000-year-old glacial giants
Snow white to deep aquamarine
Floating down the current to the warm gulf stream

Icebergs are edges of glaciers
Broken off and slipped into the ocean
90% below the surface of the sea
As deep and as hidden as a secret me

V2: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, frozen giants, compressed snow and water
Crevasses a deep blue
and volcanic eruptions encased in ice cold.

Ocean currents hold me, waves forever blow me
As long as I am deep blue
Try to stop explosions, wind forever blowing
Ocean currents growing too.

V3: Far from the Labrador
Icebergs run aground and begin to start melting
Growlers by the shore
The water that is melting innocent and pure

I feel the force of currents,
my inner momentum
Ice bergs are unstable
but that’s not my story

Melting ice is stronger
Melting ice no longer
I become the ocean
By a warm gulf stream.

Glacial Melt

Lyrics and Melodic Composition Copyright Andy Hall & Gary Brown
Produced by Andy Hall

I was thrilled when Andy and Gaz invited me along on this collaboration.  The Lyrics are beautifully written and sung by Gaz and lends itself to great story telling. It was lovely to join him and to bring my creative spirit in harmonisation to the table.  Andy wrote the beautiful melody and created the gorgeous Instrumental track (which has a hauntingly beautiful Guitar solo) and then brought it All to life with his incredible Production / Mixing skills, breathing life into the song,  and giving it a depth of sound to make it "sparkle".

Lyrics:
Our Devine intervention - Gary Brown and Andy Hall.

Standing on the bridge
Staring into the water
(I’ve kept you waiting
An hour and a quarter )
My Head tells me to leave
My hearts a little more naive
(We’ve had 27 days apart
To rekindle this flagging heart )

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V2
Finally you arrive in your own chaotic style
(So my car went and broke down
And i walk the last 3 miles)
I get the big puppy eyes
And a cute little sorry sigh
(What lies beneath in this rivers deep
Are the same things in the
secrets we keep)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V3
(Let’s stand back to back
Walk in a different direction)
If we just keep right on walking
Then we have lost all affection
(If we both look back and then we stop
We won’t lose what we’ve got)
Well I stopped and looked back
(I kept walking down the path)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To we’re I loved being yours
And you loved being mine
Our Devine intervention
At least we know now this time

Divine Intervention - Nat Daniels & The Conscience of Kings

Last year a fellow musician friend of mine sent me an instrumental track to sing on. We never released the track but I needed to hear these lyrics recently so I thought I would just share the vocal #acapella for you to listen to.

Also Here is a song we did finish together called Fly Free which I wrote and sang the Lyrics.

Lyrics By Moi 😀 Mandy Alicia 

 Empty alone
 You might be
 Devastated
 By what
 You see
 But what if
 We all start
 To believe
 In a future
 Where we all
 Start to achieve
 
The impossible
 Is possible
 Yes it's possible
 Just
 Just believe
 Believe

It's like a canvas
 You paint
 What's to be
 On it the future
 You want to see
 Just imagine
 What you want
 In your reality
 That begins
 Endless possibilities

The impossible
 Is possible
 Yes it's possible
 Just
 Just believe
 Believe

Believe
Believe
The impossible
 Is possible
Just Believe

Believe

Nonsense, just nonsense! Hopefully, the listener will feel like someone kicked down their door, rants for 3 minutes, and then leaves. 

Lyrics:
Riding my bicycle
I was 8 years old
Riding to the Biblioteca
What the heck does that get ya?

Hey! Speak up asher bard
They say your miseries are symphonies
Hey, what are you writing in that notebook?
You know I say: I'm a poet
But, I make my own hours
That's how you know that you really own it
That's how you know that you've really made it
I've been playing a fool for so long
But I will probably do it again
If you insist
Hey, c'mon, everyone
Give it up for the band!
I've been  trespassing on salvation
I've been speaking in binary code
I'm an observer in slo-mo

Let's disseminate the movie of my life
Cue the split screen
It's like some kind of cosmic universe blooper reel
I'm trying to document the way that we feel
It's 3 AM in the rain
And I'm staring at myself
It's 3 AM in the rain
Can you not see yourself?
Oh, let's give it up
Give it up for the band!

Let those good vibes shine!

I've been thinking about the matter
And the anti-matter
I've got some kind of Dostoevsky skin disease (cough)
You know what I mean?
I've got the aftershave and undertones
The poet's got the loneliest nose
For the way things go

The biblioteca, what the heck will that get ya?

Good Vibes

Hopefully some positive vibes radiate out from this track :)

Icumen Dub

Perhaps best known by Roberta Flack’s beautiful recording, this song was written by Irishman Ewan MacColl back in the 50’s. I recorded this on my iPhone VoiceMemos and simply added a harmony later. It’s a straight forward, simple acoustic interpretation of these lovely lyrics of love.

Strange world of duality seems to creep into improvisational duets...phrases entangled for moments...then falling apart. It may be muscle memory or something more weird!
