Poem extracts taken from Mr. Maurice Roberts' metrical version of Davydd Benvrass' Ode to Prince Lleweylyn (fl. 1230–1260) Translation by The Cambro-Briton (1820)

*Lyric & melody sung by Garddwr Porffor by Garddwr Porffor

*Davydd Benvrass was a Court Bard for the Kingdom of Gwynedd, including the period of Prince Llewelyn ap Iorwerth's reign (Llewelyn the Great), which accounts for the jingoistic nature of the text. This poem is one of a number of Benvrass' works celebrating Llewelyn's victories in battle with King John of England. 

Creator of that glorious light,
Which sheds around his vivid rays,
And the pale moon which rules the night,
O deign to animate my lays!
O, may my verse like Merddin's flow!
And with poetic visions glow.
Great Aneurin, string my lyre,
Grant a portion of thy fire!
That fire, which make thy verse record,
Those chiefs who fell beneath the sword
On Cattraeth's bloody field:
O! May the muse her vigor bring
While I Llewelyn's praises sing,
His country's strongest shield.
Ne'er was such a warrior seen,
With heart so brave and gallant mien:
From a regal race descended,
Bravely he the land defended,
Kings have learnt his pow'r to dread,
Kings have felt his arm and fled.
Loegria's king with conquest flush'd,
Boldly to the battle rush'd,
Then was heard the warlike shout,
(Signal of the approaching rout)
Great Llywelyn raged around,
Bravest Chieftains press'd the ground,
None his valour could withstand,
None could stem his furious hand,
Like a whirlwind on the deep,
See him through their squadrons sweep.

Come my love
Don't dwell upon the things we have lost
Pride and passion, honour, love,
sought at such a cost
We never did understand the twisting of the ways
It will serve us best to lift our heads
and think of better days

Then was seen the crimson flood,
Then was Offa bathed in blood,
Then the Saxons fled with fright,
Then they felt the monarch's might.
Far is heard Llywelyn's name,
Resounded by the trump of fame;
Oft the hero chased his foes
Where Sabrina smoothly flows.

Long and happy may he live!
And his hours to pleasure give.
And, ere upon his honoured tomb,
Herbs shall rise, and flowers shall bloom

Taking only about 30 min to write this seemed a bit of a throw away but had 'live' potential and so it proved. Looking back through life there's moments you would change if you could . . . 

See Yourself as Yourself

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Thinking ‘bout her, flood the mind 
And hormone’s, long slow torture
Shock of her face, hair in a state 
Can I just go, walk with her

No no no – verboten – society thick in the air – claustrophobia

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Seeing that, ‘out for myself’ thing 
Yeah, that gotta go, grab that pleasure 
Could’ve done that man, some real good 
But instead, closed up shop early
       
Grim effort – rode a wave – he’ll be back tomorrow – ok!

Get back look back, look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Yeah yeah yeah. Wo ho a couple of memories
There’s so many more
Yeah yeah yeah, so many more, try to bury them yeah

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”

William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper set to an old, Irish melody.

The Chimney Sweeper
by William Blake

A little black thing among the snow
Crying 'weep, 'weep, in notes of woe!
Where are thy father & mother? say?
They are both gone up to the church to pray.

Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smil'd among the winter's snow;
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

And because I am happy, & dance & sing,
They think they have done me no injury,
And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery.

LVC  # Indie Electronic 

A song about the distractions of meeting people and trying to avoid falling for them. 
All the trials and trivialities on the way to finding Love, validation and consistency.



V1
We’ve barely grazed the surface 
And in swinging from the  bigtop circus 
Oh my stupid brain it’s  like  a window frame 
I can look out but it’s travelling as fast as train 
And a one night stand during the day doesn’t feel so sleazy today 

Chorus 
Im after Love, validation and 
consistency 
that’s just the way that it is with me 
That’s just the way that it is and should be 
Your just stunning and it’s plain to see 
You need love, validation & consistently x2
Just like me x2



V2
You’ve being stealing me away from what really matters
And my scales of karma are feeling really rather battered 
I told you my problems and then you went and told me all yours 
Ok yours win so I’m getting out the favourite violin

Chours
