Nowhere To Run {Original}

I was headed home thru Hattiesburg 
In an icy cold  December 
On a train: the Crescent City line
To my hometown for Christmastime

I was watching out the window
As the train pulled out into the snow
The western sky was glowing red
as the night turned purple overhead

Between the sunset and the evening stars
Planes were leaving long white scars
I’d given anything to be up there
Flying far away from here

That was years ago
The last time that I went home
Now I’d give anything to go back where I belonged

Oh, to walk down those familiar streets
In the town that held my secrets deep
To see the soft glow of the Christmas lights
In the windows around the old house of mine

To feel the warmth of Christmas from years ago
But things have changed so much I know
We all have gone separate ways
And it all feels so far away

Everyone I’ve known has come and gone
Friends and family that I depended on
That world is gone
And I stand alone 
I just want to go back home where I belong

If Christmas wishes did come true
I would have a million reason to 
Get back on the crescent city train
And start the new year home again

I just want to go back home

The Last Time I Went Home (Christmas 22)

1
Two hundred ks 
North of Nairobi
In the „Ol Pejeta 
Conservancy“, 
A protected area
On two and a half square ks
Surrounded by an electric fence
Live the last two of their kind
They were born in captivity,
Until then 
Lived in a zoo 
In the Czech Republic.

If only 
If only…

2
A highly sought commodity
As fever agents in TCM 
The horn commands 
Tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram
The last known remaining male 
Died in 2018, 
Leaving only a mother 
And a daughter, 
Ambitious scientists try
To keep the species alive
With pluripotent stemcells 
Oh, how absurd this all is
They are the last two of their kind
Are the last two of their kind 
The last two of their kind

out
If only 
If only…
Man would not be
The most cruel beast
If only 
If only…
Man would not be
The most cruel beast
If only
If only
Man would not be…

Sometimes a song needs a special touch to bring it to its full potential and Finn  once again has transformed this very average little ugly Duckling song into a beautiful elegant White Swan  and lifted it to a height that only he can with his amazing vocal & production talents. Listen to more of Finns Songs https://soundcloud.com/finn_eces?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
The song is about an ordinary Guy, could be you and I, He has no wings, he's good and he's bad, he's human not an Angel but when you need someone he is the one who is there for you in your hour of need and always will be , because he's  Solid. He's your friend . 
Thank you Finn.

SITTING TOGETHER

We can sit together, watch the sun shine through the window,
or stay in bed with the curtains closed.
Read to each other from a book of poetry,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can get up, cook us something good to eat,
or wander to the cafe at the end of the street.
Drink a margarita or a cup of tea,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

I’ve been without you once or twice,
never did like it from the start.
In the dark I had to turn on the light
without you I just fall apart.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can go walking in all kinds of weather,
or stay home and watch a silent film together.
Laughing and dancing as our ideas unfurl,
planning how we are gonna take over the world.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love.

Sitting Together (acoustic version)

It's quite mysterious why some things seem obvious to our understanding. I guess that worms and insects may have a totally different perception of what is obvious. And, as we learn to see, the set of what seems obvious to our minds may also evolve. And we may even be obviously wrong...

== LEARNING TO SEE ==

No, light does not lie.
Light is truth, by definition,
and photons never lie.
But lone photons say nothing at all.
When Hubble tapped the dark sky
it sensed photons one by one,
slowly generating the image
of a deep field immensity.
And some saw galaxies there,
because they had learned to see.
They saw galaxies in all those bright dots on that dark photograph.
That was obvious to them, yet not for me.
And I trust them. 
What else can I do?
I know how often I'm blind to what I'm looking at.

Right now,
I look at you in this quiet evening, 
wondering how much we learned to see.
Is it obvious to you how much I love you?
Is it obvious to you?

Learning To See (based on Anastasiya Ihnatovich piano piece)

The Union crosses the Rappahannock river and clears Fredericksburg. The Confederates retreat to the surrounding hills behind a 4 foot high stone wall. Union frontal attacks, while valiant, are futile with casualties 2:1 ending in total Union withdrawal. History would later lay blame on the Union high command for the debacle. 
Lyrics - have multiple meanings: Crossing the river, subsequent fears and sorrow, poor Immigrant and runaway slave Negro soldiers compelled by their conscience to fight for a better free world; give their all often dying slowly and painfully while left alone on the battlefield - now the Lyrics:
Rivers of tears
Unending fears Lord
These souls
Longing to be free
Their all
Is all they have to give oh Lord
Their blood
Buying liberty

Rivers of Tears (Battle of Fredericksburg - with Vocals - Description inside link)

One of my favorite projects by Morry back in the late 80s/early 90s. Tascam, probably around the time we had an 8-track cassette. Hope our SC friends are doing well!

“This tortured love song is influenced by 90’s Americana and Jangle Pop; think Toad the Wet Sprocket.” 

This ghost in the corner
Is making my life hell
Cupid, should I wait much longer? 
So long since love I’ve felt 

Locked in love’s waiting room
Stuck inside waiting for you
I’m locked in love’s waiting room
Let me out 
Let me out

I want my heart to break
So I can feel the pain 
Of losing you one time
Trade in this single life 

Let me out

LOCKED IN LOVE’S WAITING ROOM

LYRICS
My loves an ocean you'd better cross it
Yeah I've been the distance and I need some rest
Yeah I had somebody and damned if I lost her
I've been running like a man possessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

Yeah I'm a loser at the top of my game
I shoulda known better to keep an eye on you
I got a scar that ain't ever the same
Yeah I gotta dream that don't ever come true

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

Instrumental

Sun going down on a canyon wall
I gotta soulthat ain't ever been blessed
Yeah I'm a shadow at the back of the hall
Yeah I've got a sin I ain’t never confessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one
