OFF THE TRAIL

Looking for something 
a distance away
Both surely brightening
Our unknowing way

Far ahead is a flame
a promising sight.
Two souls of the same
Hurry on, while daylight

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
We'll balance without fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Now slowly ascending
In the lateness of day
Warmness igniting
Flickering out the gray

Find time for some rest
Night is coming fast 
hands intertwine
Silently meant to last

Come take my hand as we walk the path
This kind of love was meant to last
And we'll banish all the fear
It's still safe to fail
Knowing one of us is here
If one falls off the trail

Off the trail

Knowing one of us here
If one falls off the trail

Off The Trail

I’ll be longing

The day is over, the pace dialed down to slow
On the sky above me, the stars begin to show
Jupiter there with its beautiful moons
Mars over there, red fiery gloom 

As I look through my fingers at Orion’s belt
I swear it was your presence I just felt
Knowing with certainty, i don’t have to tell
That you can see the same stars as well

And so it is my love, so it is …could it be any better
And ill be longing

A gentle breeze makes me heave for breath
I turn to see something bright in the west
For a second I see a smile on your face
Before I realize it’s just the evening haze

How tiny our silhouettes are under the sky 
It’s as if we never met and had to say goodbye
But through this words and a simple little song
I’ll see you soon, don’t you know
It won’t be long

And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better
So it is my love so it is
Come with me and be a part of this
And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better

So it is my love so it is
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing

I'll Be Longing

Based on the song written by Merle Kilgore&June Carter - and good ol’ Johnny Cash’s performance.

My head it hurts so bad
I can't read my writing on the page
I scanned the lines but I can't see
What's become of me

It's true that I ain't been the same
Since you saw me that last day
When you wore that worried smile across your face
As you wiped the tears away

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
And I wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
N'a don't wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

What’s Become Of Me

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool
Listen to their wisdom
And wear it like a jewel
A glittering jewel
The golden path of progress
Is sometimes much ado
Oh turn around, look backwards

And now this is me, I am he
And the time has come

Listen boy now did you think that
This was all new?
Nothing comes from nothing
Or appears out of the blue
The beautiful blue

And now mark the time, free the mind
And dig for the truth
Don't forget, no regret
They will forgive our youth

Listen boy now, there's a strange man
In the mirror
If you look close boy, the face
Is getting clearer
Now what do you fear?
And what do you hear?

I am you, that much is true
And the years have run
Break the chains, strengthen what remains
Yes the time has come

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool

Listen Boy Now

"Looking back it's now so clear
How the road beneath my restless feet
Had a reason it brought me here
Often obscure and bittersweet"

La Fableuse 

Texte : Say M
Chant : Karine
Musique : Alain Illos

Qui es-tu ?
Toi que je ne connais pas 
Qui refuse les maux de tête 
Qui s'amuse des mots de soi 

Je suis la Fableuse
J'aurais pu dire la Fabuleuse 
Mais je ne bois pas

J'ai donc ignoré le «u»
Qui ira où il voudra
Je n'ordonne pas les lettres 
Mais je ne les laisse pas 
S'installer comme on sème 
Les mots ne repoussent pas 
Déjà qu'ils changent à peine 
Oui mais, voilà... 

Regardez, au moins ceux qui s'aiment 
Les mots, ils ne les cherchent pas
Ils fabulent parfois, peut-être
Mais de chaque instant, ils croient 
On les croisera le nez en l'air 
Respirant celui des sous-bois 
Ils rentreront saouls à tue-tête 
D'un amour qui, in fine, finira

Qui es-tu ?
Toi que je ne connais pas 
Qui refuse les maux de tête 
Qui s'amuse des mots de soi 

Je suis la Fableuse
J'aurais pu dire la Fabuleuse 
Mais je ne bois pas 

Car le «u» parfois s'entête 
dans rupture, se place deux fois 
Je n'ordonne pas les lettres 
Mais je ne les laisse pas 
S'installer comme on sème 
Les mots ne repoussent pas 
J'écris des maux
Des morceaux d'êtres 
J'écris des mots 
Qui parlent d'émois
 La Fableuse, c'est moi

La Fableuse avec Karine

Mediterranean Connection (For three guitars)

If I can stop one heart
from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one in pain

Or help one fainting Robin 
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.

The Hero´s Journey

The song-part recorded in 1999, the instrumental added in 2017. 

English / Italian lyrics

like thoughts
containing heat
as if forming
thunderstorms of words
and then you stop to look for
something important to say
something special
unlikely treasures to safeguard

Do you see these images 
of fleeting clouds?
Do you see these evenings 
that spend lonely?
When for a moment you regain
your usual good mood
I climb into your hair
I rest on your multicoloured gaze  

like thoughts
containing heat
as if forming
thunderstorms of words
when for a moment I think back
to your multicoloured gaze
you will already be sleeping
hugged at my words 

----

come pensieri
che contengono calore
come se formassero
temporali di parole
e poi ti fermi a cercare
qualcosa di importante da dire
qualcosa di speciale
tesori improbabili da custodire 

le vedi queste immagini
di nuvole passeggere
le vedi queste sere
che trascorrono da sole
quando per un attimo ritrovi
il tuo solito buonumore
mi arrampico fra i tuoi capelli
mi poso sul tuo sguardo multicolore  

come pensieri
che contengono calore
come se formassero
temporali di parole
quando per un attimo ripenso
al tuo sguardo multicolore
starai già dormendo
abbracciata alle mie parole

------

Bhagavad Gītā 9:6 vocal/guitar Improvisation with ahimsa Monika - live session over 6000 miles :)

Vayuh - Monika ji

New song recorded tonight.

Last night I opened up the window
as streetlight stood in for the moon
across your skin a summer breeze was filtered through the trees
announced by flickered candlelight

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

tonight I open up the window
as moonlight calls out for our dreams
across the sky I hear a voice from somewhere far away
hello and thank you for the day

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment
