LYRICS

"don't call for darker friends
I'll be your pale
you quit this happenstance
I won't derail
hell with your consequence
I'm not for sale
I'll readjust my lens
all beauty pales


can I get an amen
can I get a when
can I get a pen
can I get a pen

hell with your consequence
I'm not for sale

can I get another hand
to lend
up in here

can I get an amen
can I get a when
can I get a pen
can I get a pen"

Pale - featuring Stone X Catcherye

This song first entered my mind while I was comparing translations of the poetry of the remarkable Song dynasty poet Li Qingzhao.

	The attraction I have to Li Qingzhao's work is twofold - firstly: the sheer power of her expression, which speaks to me through each and every translation (some translations being so different that I often fail to recognize them as being the same poem) - secondly: her “Ci” poetry, is, for all practical purposes, songwriting.   “Ci” poetry began as lyrics to be sung to tunes both popular and original, not unlike the “12 bar blues” or “rock and roll” songs of the modern world.

	The imagery used in this song largely comes from her Ci poem “Banana Trees”, but should in no way be thought of as a translation - I do not pretend to have that kind of scholarship or talent.   It is, at best, a re-working of theme and image for a contemporary context.

	I do not know the original source of the cover art I have used here, but I found it at http://www.chinesetimeschool.com/en-us/articles/li-qingzhao/.   There are no extent images of Li Qinqzhao from her own time.

Lyrics:
        looking from our door, I see the poplars that we planted
	their green shadows fill the lawn
	their green shadows fill the lawn, leaves a-flutter in the breeze,
	in the quiet of the moment, they seem to share my thoughts

	they seem to share my thoughts, I recall a last farewell
	at the gateway of our home
	at the gateway of our home I listen to the sound, 
	in the quiet of the moment, to the rustling of leaves

	the rustling of leaves, a sound you’ll never hear again
	it breaks my heart
	it breaks my heart we can no longer share our thoughts,
	in the quiet of the moment, looking from our door

Looking from Our Door

For me this song has become a musical journey into the unknown because I couldn't complete it. Something is missing. Maybe a guitar solo, or vocals, or a few synth sounds. Maybe someone of you will find a destination for this trip. I am making it available for a remix. The title and cover can of course also be changed. If you want to publish it, please tell me, mention me in the description and in the title. I'm curious if someone wants to go on this musical trip.

A psychedelic, experimental commentary on the News.

A Spiny Spur (Late Nite Tale)

From the dust bin, an old Little Feat (Bill Payne) song from their early days. A classic.

 Takin' My Time (Bill Payne)

I'm takin' my time
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.
Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come on to me.
Slow down your rhyme and try to reason
Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.
Why try to out guess
A situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.

I love the exciting diversity of the Soundcloud universe. Here I always discover new, creative music creations and meet many nice people from all over the world. The music unites us all. SC offers me the unique opportunity to publish my own sound ideas. I am still learning and I like to be inspired. Therefore, I like to process finished songs of SC friends to new tracks. 
I don't have a preferred style. No matter whether rock, pop, disco or experimental music. No matter whether analog or digital instruments. The most important thing is that I enjoy it and like it.
Thanks for listening. I appreciate every feedback and every new follower.
Take care and stay healthy!
