From my heart, thank you Yann for beautiful music.

Children living in war are traumatized and many children react by becoming apathetic. 
Some of the children stop talking.
Their fear is frozen.
This song is for the children.

We cannot see
The souls storms swept by sorrow
There's a sadness so deep
That tears won't come
I hold my breath
And hope
 
We are under the same stars

May we be lead down the quiet ways
Of wisdom and peace
We are under the same stars
A beam of daylight
Shines for you

Under The Same Stars. Yann Kifer and Oddrun Eikli

Some of Us is Me

2022 Janine Levinson
Guitar: Jonathan Beckenstein  @jonathan_beckenstein
   
I’m sorry that I’m not somebody else    
I’m sorry if I let my people down
I didn’t ask for anybody’s help        
I’m sorry that I waited for this long

But it’s like trying to move your life ahead with a stranger at the wheel 
While trying very hard to get along

I’m sorry that I wrecked my lover’s heart
I hope he knows I wrecked my own heart too
I should have looked somewhere outside myself
I hope there’s room for me inside of you

Cause I’ve been trying to stand up straight when I am broken past repair
And still trying very hard to fix what’s wrong 

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

I sometimes wish tomorrow wouldn’t come
But yesterday has problems of his own 
Next to you’s the only thing I’ve got
I wish I knew someplace where I belonged   

And I’ve been trying to stand up straight 
‘Cause I was thinking you might share--
And make my little world not feel so wrong

Some folks have got it made 
Frolicking in the shade of live oak tree
But some of us we don’t sing so loud, 
And we’re looking down
Some of us is me

Some Of Us Is Me - with Jonathan Beckenstein

I'm honoured to collaborate again with the awesome Arma Ignifera https://soundcloud.com/herronsound on this beautiful composition: https://soundcloud.com/herronsound/when-the-moon-falls-like-snow

This song is for a musician friend who spent many very tough months struggling to care for her mother and pets, homeless, living out of a small van.

Where are You Now [Street Mix]

If this ain’t nice then what is ?  This was said by Kurt Vonneguts’ uncle at family gatherings according to Kurt in a YouTube video of one of his lectures about the shapes of stories . So it goes .

Joe Strummer made some of the best music I’ve ever heard .  Phenomenal songwriter musician who made each song his own.  He wrote a song titled “Ramshackle Day Parade” .  So it goes .

The vw bus bit is a high school memory.  Imagine The 70’s Show .  Old Bob is a ditty from long, long ago.

If this ain’t nice 

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat

Volkswagen micro bus
Sits upon four cinder blocks
Move the rear view mirror 
So I see you see me

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat 

Old Bob can’t find a job
And never will
Old Bob married Jill 
Poor Jill 

If this ain’t nice 
Then what is 
Living day after day
In the great
Ramshackle day parade

if this ain’t nice

This song is for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person. As anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist knows, it is incredibly painful. Years can be wasted staying stuck in the relationship triangle of frustration, self-pity or believing you can fix them. When you finally realize that the only way to move forward is to completely cut them out of your life forever you are on the first steps to freedom. Expressing the anger you feel from all the abuse and time wasted is the first step to healing. Hope this song can help you to feel it’s okay to be angry. 

Share this song with someone who needs to hear this.

Lyrics: 

What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
Can I believe?
When you hold my hand and keep me near,
Your eye tell me lies,
Tell me lies, my dear. 
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one dance 
That every chance to love you,
Is a gift from you to me.
.
If only,
I could tell you you were beautiful
To me.
If only. 
.
If only,
I could let you know with just one smile
That the way you make feel right now 
Helps me to be me somehow. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I wish that I could find the words to let you know,
That the lies your eyes say,
In my mind,
Are the sweetest words,
That I,
Will ever find. 
.
I'm still-
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
I'm so- 
Haunted my dear
Haunted by you,
When you're near.
.
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
Oh I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
I can't sing your song anymore
I can't sing anybody else's song at all 
.
What does it mean?
If you love me,
But don't want me dear.
Your eyes tell me lies, 
Oh your eyes tell me lies,
Yes your eyes tell me lies,
That I want to hear. 
.
In your eyes 
In your eyes
My surprise is in your eyes. 
.
-end-
