adieu adieu

(em) back to balance 
a gate in the (c) day

(em) Ten of Swords
at the end of a (c) play

(g) (the) purpose of the (c) cross
(g) (the) pain of our (c) Lord

(g) I don’t know what I’m (c) doing 
or not (bm) doing, of (am7) course

(f) how to get back – (g) back to where? back to where?
(f) how to get back – (g) back to where

thy (c) plaintive (g) anthem (f) fades
(c) adieu (g) adieu (f) adieu
in (c) those next (g) valley (f) glades 
and (c) you and (g) you and (f) you

love to drift
through the clouds

far above
the worlds below

(the) blood of the lamb
(the) promise of the seed 

I don’t know what I’m thinking 
or not thinking, indeed

how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley-glades 
and you and you and you

clock the seconds 
afore they go

reconnect 
to the flow

tender is the night 
on a winding mossy way

in love with easeful death 
yet still wanting to stay
how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley glades 
and you and you and you

split the heart
of the tree

divided self 
one, two, three

(the) nightingale’s repose 
her last song on the air 

I don’t know why I’m sensing 
but not seeing the rose 

how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley glades 
and you and you and you (et vous et vous et vous)

(fade out on adieu adieu adieu x 3)

(uses some lines and variation of lines from Keats's Ode to a Nightingale: 'thy plaintive anthem fades'/ 'adieu adieu'/ 'next valley glades' / 'tender is the night' / 'winding mossy way' / 'in love with easeful death')

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

A song in an old tradition, with the wonderful Nadia Selvaggi. 
I recommend that you go and listen to her lovely music https://soundcloud.com/nadiaselvaggi

Oh, where is my love

Oh, where is my love
Oh, where has he gone
He has gone to the war
With fathers and sons
To fight for our right
to live a peaceful life
To safeguard the future 
of daughters and wives
To fight those other men
With rockets and knives

They were once our neighbours
Our cousins and our friends
We would live together
Brothers without end
How could they turn against us
What twisted reason wends
To create this wicked violence
To hell we will descend

Oh where is my loved one
I have heard not a word since he left our home
I fear I have lost him 
I have heard not a word
Please return to me my darling with the swiftness of a bird
Please fly to me my darling with the swiftness of a bird

They were once our neighbours (etc as above)


Oh, where is my love
Oh, where has he gone
He has gone to the war
With fathers and sons
To fight for our right
to live a peaceful life
To fight those other men
Who have daughters and wives

Oh, Where Is My Love (with Nadia)

"Dla Luizy Effalunt"

I imagine I have a piano on the beach. I hear the sound of the sea, sit down at the piano and play along.

Ich stelle mir vor, ich hätte ein Klavier am Strand stehen. Ich höre das Rauschen des Meeres, setze mich an das Klavier und spiele dazu.

myself (EP)

Dynamic dialog between voice and guitar (one-shot recorded), over a very syncopated rhythm. Epic words and guitar solos, showing some rock background.

Dinámico diálogo entre voz y guitarra (todavía grabado del tirón) sobre un ritmo muy sincopado. Toques épicos en letra y solos de guitarra, dejando entrever entrañas de rock.

Lyrics/Letra:

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Una historia que contar,
un secuestro a voluntad,
una meta que cumplir,
el orgullo de mamá.

Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
poco para regresar. 
Ya queda poco, ya queda poco,
sólo una semana más.

Cuántas horas sin dormir,
sin salir y sin soñar
¿Qué ha venido a hacer aquí
el orgullo de mamá?

Ya queda poco (El orgullo de mamá)
