Tell Me, Lovely Shepherd: From William Boyce's 1743 Serenata, Solomon.

William Boyce, (baptized Sept. 11, 1711, London, Eng.—died Feb. 7, 1779, London), one of the foremost English composers of church music, known also for his symphonies and stage music, and as an organist and musical editor. Boyce was a chorister and later a student of the organ at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Another Morry original. Kids going off to college and transitioning through high school, so hoping to get together in Aug or Sept to be able to post more. Hope all our SC friends are doing well!

Same Old Dance

the lovely Belle on flute
Straddie at full moon

can you hear that sound

high above the full moon glows
throwing shadows on the world below
far below

can you hear that sound
rising up with the northern wind
climbing up to heaven on high

maybe it's the sound
turns it all around
maybe it's the mood
you do

we'll be coming off high
as the innocence dies
we'll be running on low
as we hit the open road

something tells me that it don't get better than this right now

Here is a link to the youtube video for the song! https://youtu.be/sXd5B2iSWck
I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Butterfly's achievement 

far more dangerous and at a greater distance 
a purring cat is lying next to a dying bird 
and we don't dream no more 

the story of the envellop 
was so much bigger than the letter 
my body is a temple of which the roof collapsed 
and I don't dream no more 

it is a butterfly's achievement 
to blindly follow rules 
etched deeply in its intestines 
with the tiniest of needles 
and it doesn't dream no more 

the deed was done 
the story written 
had a lot to be thankfull for 
but noone to thank
dreams don't dream themselves no more 

each one tries to fit in the previouses footprints 
tries to repeat what doesn't repeat 
footprints are too tight or just a bit too wide 
i guess we'll have to dream some more 

all of us have a past, we can only dream a future 
i have seven dreams a minute 
and they all split up in two, or three, or four, or more 
i grasp to keep them with me 
to read before dispose 
i just don't have the eyes for it 
its a freakin' overdose
