Hommage à Nick Hornby...Tribute To Nick Hornby's novel : "How to be good"
NICKY

How to be good /How to do right
We all know life’s hard to bear sometimes
Did you feel good /Did you feel right
Don’t you think we were in hell last night?

And so Nicky told me
Answers aren’t so easy
good is a spiderweb
for little men like me
Good fellows nice chaps
Feel ashamed  and sophists 
May be not the right activists

 2  How did you feel 
When you cheated on me
Were you sorry
 I  felt guilty
Take a deep breath
Try to move on
Life’s so easy to bear 
Let’s see what’s going on

 3 I’m not so callous
And you’re not mean of course
Our confessions
aren’t the only option
Selfish or kind
I really don’t mind
Strong and fair
That’s what I really care

How to be good /How to do right
We all know life’s hard to bear sometimes

Nicky

Capturing a dream before it is forgotten.

You Got This

Over There

Verse 1:
It wasn't the plan, but that's probably how it went
Two hearts in the storm, now our target is silent
All the words said, but nothing keeps us here
Only shadows of yesterday and ashes of paper

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Verse 2:
I see your traces fading in the fog
Hear your voice in songs of glass
Time may heal, but it also lies to us
'Cause nothing feels right if I can't share it with you

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Bridge:
Then we lie lazily on rooftops in the rain
No why, no wrong, just a life in the now
No way that separates us, no tomorrow that counts
Just you and me when the night brightens up

Chorus (Final):
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Vielleicht Im Nächsten Leben

I originally recorded this track in 2001 when my friend Molly and I
formed our "Moving Air" project. https://soundcloud.com/moving-air.
I remastered the song in 2025, and it's now slightly longer than the
original recording.

THE CROWN
All the time you’re talking about yourself
The great stuff you do, the cool things you say
Everything is important to you what has to do with you
Other people’s business you don’t care about, you are so proud

You’re the greatest man in town, you are the greatest man in town
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown
You’re the greatest man in town, the only thing you miss is a crown

The Crown

This song is very much inspired by the song Nine While Nine by Sisters of Mercy from their album First and last and always from 1985. Some riffs are from that song and the lyrics is a freely translated version in swedish...

Nights Like These

The moon is dark - The weather is hot 
I’m just here - Wishing you were near
But you're far - far away - And I'm left to stay
With these dreams of you - High on hopes they come true

Silence screams - crickets are loud 
Dreams of you - beneath these clouds
Holding you tight - under the moonlight 
The stars don't shine - quite as bright
Without you here to share the night

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My head is in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

In the whispering breeze - I hear your voice
it brings me peace - it brings me joy 
I have no choice - you're in my heart 
stay there please - we will never be apart

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist, 
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

But I'm alone, it’s hot and it’s cold 
silence screams loud
Dreams of you beneath these clouds
Silence screams loud 

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you - 
So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you -

On nights like these
On nights like these 
On nights like these 

Eileen van der Schyff ©️

Nights Like These is a song about longing for a love not yet met, that one true connection we know exists, even if it hasn’t yet arrived. Written in the quiet of the night, it captures the ache and hope of waiting for destiny, hearing whispers of a future love in the silence, and dreaming of when that day finally arrives.

LAST TRACK from RELIQUIAS LP: hard rock, symphonic-like ending, and recalls of "Qué fácil decir", little to do with it's PIANO SESSIONS' version; that's all, by now...
https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/gritos-de-cristal-piano-version
ÚLTIMO TEMA DE RELIQUIAS: rock duro, final en plan sinfónico, y recuerdos de “Qué fácil decir”, poco que ver con su versión de PIANO SESSIONS; aquí lo dejo, por ahora... 

Lyrics/Letra:

Mi cuarto vacío, 
un colchón desnudo y un radio-cassette.
Tu leve sospecha,
mi leve princesa quiero conocer.

Es el marco ideal para gritos de cristal. 
Es el marco ideal...
para gritos, para gritos, para gritos de cristal.

El frío de fuera
enciende la hoguera, dejas de temer.
La ropa en el suelo,
el sudor del cielo moja mi placer.

Es el marco ideal para gritos de cristal. 
Es el marco ideal... 
para gritos, para gritos, para gritos de cristal.

Gritos de cristal (Es el marco ideal)
