Cicadas are all about love, singing each summer, and inspiring this song!  Friends encouraged me to release it again with the recent big cicada generations.  Hope folks remember this song and smile when they see or hear the little critters - enjoy!

Lyrics:  😊

(Humming Cicadas)

(Dreaming Cicada)
When I woke up from this endless aching time
I’d dreamed that you were here still sleeping by my side
I thought we promised all our love for all our lives? 
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Awakening Cicada)
I rose and sung a song to fill the skies
But I wished it filled the silence in your eyes
Come and stay with me – I’ll love you ‘til I die!
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Anticipatory Cicada)
In the evenings I still lie awake and cry
I’m waiting on morning for the sunrise in the sky
Then I’ll fly!   Yes, I’ll fly! 
I’ll fly!  Yes, I’ll fly! 
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Hopeful Cicada)
I love you – will forever – can we try?
And I hope I hear your promise in reply
Come away with me – I’ll love you all your life!
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Don’t cry…

(Singing Cicadas)
I thought I heard you before I saw you
Sounding like you’re coming alive!
Breaking out, the whole world’s before you
Hope you write your name in the sky!

(Flying Cicadas)
Ah, ah, ah, ah – yeah, yeah!   Ah, ah, ah, ah!   Yeah, watch us fly high!

“It Rained Last Night" with the rumbling thunderstorm and original Taylor LKSM-6 acoustic guitar.  My co-writer Greg Coombe and I hope you enjoy this hauntingly mysterious tune. My deep thanks to Jim Rothlisberger for his cool storm painting too! ⛈️

Lyrics:   🙂

It Rained Last Night 

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
It rained last night,
Loud bang of thunder kept me up, kept me up.
Raindrops, the damn constant plunking, plinking of water, 
Seems to drive me insane...

[chorus 1]
I left the window open,
You went to shut it and left in the rain! 
Left in the rain...!

[verse 2]
Mystified by the silent goodbye,
And I wished that I could fly.
Toast was burnt, the coffee was ruined, 
It’s the little things you notice, 
When you notice they’re gone...

[chorus 2]
It rained last night, soft rumble of thunder, 
And it turned you on! Turned you on! 
Turned you on, and on...!

[instrumental outro]

It Rained Last Night

old song reupload as i couldn't find it on soundcloud so here it is

Summer Vibe (2022)

LET'S SEE WHAT WILL COME

WHEN WE BEGAN ALMOST ACCIDENTALLY
IN THAT PARK OF FALLEN LEAVES
WE KISSED AT SUNSET
AND OUR LIVES JOINED

WE DIDN'T SEEK IT, IT WAS SO
IN DESTINY WE FOUND
ME WITH YOU, YOU WITH ME
OUR PATHS CROSSED

AND TOGETHER MORE THAN A MONTH PASSED
FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER
WE HAD JUST MET
AND IT SEEMED WE'D KNOWN EACH OTHER FOREVER

EACH OF US FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE
WE LIVED IN DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS
FAR AWAY IN THE CITY
FOR SOME REASON WE COULD HAVE THEIR WAY

AND WE LIVED FROM DAY TO DAY
WITHOUT WORRYING
IF WE ARRIVE LATE, AT WHAT TIME WE ARE DATE
WITHOUT STRESS
THUS, WE'RE DONE WITH A RELATIONSHIP
LET'S SEE WHAT WILL COME

A YEAR HAS PASSED
WE'RE STILL DATING TOGETHER
WITHOUT TIES AND THE TRUTH IS
OUR RELATIONSHIP IS STILL WORKING

IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF NOT CONTROLLING
OVERWHELMING US WITH EXPLANATIONS
WE ARE FREE TO FLY
WITHOUT CONTROLLING OUR ACTIONS

AND WE LIVE DAY TO DAY
WITHOUT WORRYING
WHEN WE'RE LATE WE'LL MEET
WITHOUT STRESS
THUS, WE'RE DONE WITH A RELATIONSHIP
LET'S SEE WHAT WILL COME

EVERYTHING STARTED TO LET'S SEE WHAT WILL COME

AND WE LIVED DAY TO DAY
WITHOUT WORRYING
WHEN WE ARRIVED LATE, WHAT TIME WE'D MEET
WITHOUT STRESS
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR US
EVERYTHING STARTED
TO LET'S SEE WHAT WILL COME.


A VER QUE SALE

Kerouac's Lost Melbourne Weekend by Tikkek

Don’t kill my mood! 

Last weekend—gone in a wild, golden blur. 

A pulse. A riot.

Police band roaring Roxanne at The Prince… 

Slices of marinara pizza at Topolinos, hot and fast… 

Then the piano bar on Chapel—hands clapping, hips swaying, hearts thumping like a second kick drum.

Dancing, singing, spinning through the night like we’d been born to burn out beautifully.

Beers and Prosecco in tandem, sugar-slick kisses on balconies and back streets…

Love, maybe. Or something damn close.

Cigarettes and laughter hanging in the air like jazz notes at midnight.
Home at 4 a.m.—crashed into bed like a comet.

Then up again. Eyes blurred. Road humming. Geelong in the distance like a sleepy mirage.

Curry hotter than sin, music louder than thought—bands in Malop Street throwing riffs into the sky.

Smoke in my lungs, haze in the hills, city lights scattered below like spilled silver.

Another cigarette. Another glimpse of the eternal.

Home again. 4 a.m. again. Body aching sweet with the memory of it all.

Another perfect weekend burned into my bones.

Another one waiting just down the road.

The night breathes music. The moon knows my name.

Till next time, girl…

Dig it. 💋🌹
