sad and poignant yet sharp in its observation...this is a wonderful creation, glad I came across it 

these lyrics are wonderful, Nigel, very deep and moving

@muje: Thanks Muje, your comments and support are always appreciated

Like a slowly approaching knee to the groin, you just can't take your eyes (ears) off this song. The problem is it's proberbly true. If no one had thought of it as a money making exercise, they have now!

[rough translation]
RITUAL
I preserve the little ritual,
so you can return anytime.

Every day, when evening falls,
I prepare the table: an extra plate,

cutlery, your own chair, a candle, a glass,
as if you just were delayed.

I hear (how could I think that what
makes me who I am, was gone forever?)

I hear, as if the house still existed,
the gravel, the latch, the dog barking,

and you come in at the moment
I light the lamp, arrange the flowers.

I just hope I can stay calm
and without looking up from my silent routine

find the words, as if it were self-evident:
sit down, help yourself, you were expected.

[Dutch poem]
RITUEEL
Ik houd het kleine ritueel in ere,
opdat je elk moment terug kunt keren.

Iedere dag, wanneer het avond wordt,
maak ik de tafel klaar: een extra bord,

bestek, je eigen stoel, een kaars, een glas,
alsof je enkel opgehouden was.

Ik hoor (hoe kon ik denken dat hetgeen
waardoor ik ben, voor altijd was verdwenen ?),

ik hoor, alsof de woning nog bestond,
het grind, de klink, het aanslaan van de hond,

en je komt binnen op het ogenblik
dat ik de lamp ontsteek, de bloemen schik.

Ik hoop alleen dat ik dan rustig blijf
en haast niet opziend van mijn stil bedrijf

de woorden vind, als was het vanzelfsprekend:
Schuif aan; tast toe: er is op je gerekend.

Take your disco lights
Out tonight
Send your laserbeam
into the sky

Lord I'm lonely
But the beat will guide me
back to the place
where we can be together

Unbox your dancing shoes
don't tie them too loose
Emoji, gives me a sign 
that all is still fine?

Here comes the disco king
watch him do his thing
like a chachacha
before the camera

There 's a tendency
in the tinder scene
that if you dance alone
you get stuck in the zone

But I don't mind
as long as I can find
a disco light
shining through

Journeys Of Love, Life And Dreams

Have you ever caught yourself missing a more simple life of days gone by?
Somehow you feel that you had been there before. 
Some days are circled in blue, far fewer in red.

So true, so tragic.  A little bitter sweet but at least it was something.
Somehow, we always come back.

Now let's get into it

☿

𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴

Your planets they show me the way
And signs keep on telling me how
And houses they always know where
Of you and me in a low vibe

As soon as the wave is the ocean
My universe coming my way
I roam with the sun in my pocket
For paradise is never too far
For paradise is never too far

Adrift in the labyrinth Universe
The Earth is becoming a star
I'm grateful for all that it's been
And faithful to all it shall come

And then we discovered the beauty
And everything turned into gold
But still we are blind all the same
Cuz lovin' is life when deserved
Cuz lovin' is life when deserved

The ghosts of your parallel universe
Still follow me down to the end
Your hands are creating the desert
My soul has abandoned the cage

And lights of a more distant future
Tea houses and black & white frames
Out there on the blade of the horizon
That's where you'll come to me again
That's where you'll come to me again

Plutonian Love Song

Daydream

Death Is Calling
Words by G. Washington
Music by D. D'Ambrosia

Can you hear me calling?
Do you wonder what went wrong?
That cocktail you were shooting
It was just a little too strong
Now the ceiling is melting
And the walls are bending
Spatial distortion: physical contortion

Your breathing is getting slower
Your pulse is getting weak
Your chance of Earthly future
Well,,,,,it's getting bleak
You had your chance at life
But now you made your choice
Now there's nothing left to do
Except to listen to my voice

Death is calling; He'll be your guide
There's no redemption; no place to hide
Death is calling the fallen sheep
Your soul is weary; just go to sleep

Turn your gaze away 
From the gleaming starry skies
Just hold my bony hand
And close your weary eyes
It's a shame you have to leave
With so much life ahead
But it's too late to believe
And the Master knows,,,,you are dead!!!!

Death Is Calling-- collab w/ Collecting Pool

Vocals: Glen Washington

Lyrics: Dan Dambrosia

Original drum concept: Narziss Malestrom

Musical adaptation: Dan Dambrosia

I find myself looking for the rock falling from the sky
I firmly stand on this ground just waiting to die
And while I wait, I might catch some exotic disease
A Mosquito's bite will cause a rise of ten degrees

Ah you just never know; it's all speculation
Planting seeds of rumors to grow
Harvesting fears to feed a Nation

I find myself wondering bought the sun getting too close
I fear the Cancer will spread from my head down to my toes
And while I dance to the sound of this heavy beat
The ground will crack and crumble disappearing under my feet
(Chorus)

Control yourselves; stop parading negativity
Like a Model with some fashion sensibility
It's not all doom and gloom like they portray on TV
It's just somebody toying with your sensitivity
