Even now I still love the energy of this song. Everything being reported in the news at the time was provoking a reaction within me but I had no one to really share these thoughts and frustrations with. I still really love the feeling  I get inside when I hear and play this song although, now a little older, I am no longer going off all the world one by one and have become a bit more tolerant and selective.

LYRICS

Met a friend from years gone by
Both remarked how time did fly
Said he couldn't give a toss
About the workers now he's boss

Watched a hero of the past
Say he'd seen the light at last
Hope and prayed that all his fans
Would put their lives in tory hands

CHORUS
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Guess it wasn't meant to be any fun
Yes I'm going off the world one by one

People ring the radio
To get their views heard on the show
Can't believe the things I hear
Makes me want to disappear 

Freddie Laker he's gone broke
Some feel sorry for that bloke
Send him money such a shame
He's only got five million to his name

CHORUS

Got a visit from the Pope
Kissed the ground Christ what a dope
You could hear the people cheer
Was it love or was it fear

If what I've said gets through to you
But don't reflect your point of view
There is only one thing I can do
You're just another join the queue 


Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I,m going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I,m going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one

One By One

THE ROAD TO TRUTH

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

Is there really hope? Is the human mind so developed that we can feel and give support, empathy, help and hope to everyone around us? Why then, do we build walls? And how tall do they need to be, to separate us.....from..... each other?

And why do some countries build mental walls between the sexes of their own people, declaring one gender (read women) far less valuable than the other? Or castes, from so-called high-born to insignificant, despite belonging to the same people. Why is one crow worth more than all other crows?

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

(KARAOKE) Enigma - Retrun To Innocence

Wonderful collab: Jano and the Electronix composed and played the music. He wrote the lyrics a while ago. This pearl was waiting to be found!   Melancholic Mood Verse 1: Dark clouds passing by, Grey days as time goes by. A drop falls, a deep sigh, In my soul, spinning high. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Verse 2: Thoughts flying far and wide, Lost in my own world's tide. A smile faint, yet heavy as lead, In this rain, so cold it's spread. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Bridge: The wind tells tales, Of times gone by, The melody of life, We can't always guide. Verse 3: Yet, at the core, a spark of light, A glimmer of hope in the night. Melancholy breaks its might, And a new day comes to light. Chorus: Melancholy in the rain, Tears blending with the dew. In this moment of silence, I find myself right here and true. Outro: The clouds move away, Making room for new rays. Melancholy in the rain, A moment, a silent ballet.

A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie

LYRICS

You tell more lies than a politician
But you  can't help it you were born that way
You stretch the truth by your own admission
There's a lie in every thing you say

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

You say you love me and you really really want me
You say it'd break your heart
If I walked away
But I know that it really wouldn't matter
You'd have another by the end of the day

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

Instrumental

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
But you tell lies like a politician

I know deep down that I really really want you
It ain't no secret that I'm stone in love with you
You say I'm kidding and I don't really need you
And I think that you're lying too

Can't get the answer to anything you say
You say it's true then you walk away
You say you heard it on the television
You tell more lies than a politician

I'm Awake.

MAY FLY ILLEGAL REMIX

In the haze of the morning
The crow dances to the breeze
In the maze of this life
Shattered pieces of a dream 
From the playground downtown 
The lights flashing aloud 
Far beneath the ground
The echos Vibrating sound 
Clarity I see looking into your eyes
Drifting away, to the seas, to the skies 
A land filled with peace, there in your arms 
A glimmering sky…far from harm
A rainbow sky..passing inside 
Butterfly dreams..dragonfly sky

Concrete walls, years down these halls 
Silent nights, seven flights
Riverbend, far from the eye
River send, peace to the right
On this perch I sit and wait
For the bleeding sunset cast over the lake
The ancient place where the grackles sing 
The ancient place where the last breathe brings
Love yourself, tend the needs, destiny, find the seed
Let it grow, overfill, let it be, time will tell 

The WU it sleeps, it breathes, it eats
From the valley, the screams, they show, money
Rooftops, light rocks, meth melt to the ground
Willow tree, people see, what can’t be dealt
1203, explosive company, down to the ground 
Straight to the sea
Rise above what’s in front of me
Reflections of pieces of a dream

Řeflections øf å ðream

method: field recordings, virtual instruments, voice
narration: some of the dirty secrets of self-awareness in relationships ... and one way of dealing with them; this also is an exercise in recovering the integrity of poems that have been belittled, willfully ignored  and poked fun at quite some time ago
image: actually, the device depicted - called a multimemo - before the image was distorted, that is - is included in creating this soundscape, which was somewhat inspired by and refers to elo-covers ....  although those are quite different .... the cover for an album called 'out of the blue'' and the  cover for an album  a friend understood to mean "disco - very". He was a genius musician who already earned an entertainer's income while going to middle school in the 1970s  ... thanks to his hammond and his talent. Only in later years did I understand myself....  that the syncretism of 'disc', 'discovery' and the images of ali baba and a uap is an astonishing feat in itself. copyright jo richter.

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz):

als sie nicht mehr logen
fühlten sie sich bloß
wie tiere ohne fell
wie fische ohne meer
ein jeder wind blies kalt
im ozean aus luft

sie rezitierten laut
ihr alphabet der furcht
wieder und wieder
im hoffen auf götter
der himmel blieb leer

bis auf zwei vögel

die kreisten auf suche
nach beute und fleisch

interlinear translation; apart from two birds // when they had stopped lying / they felt as naked / as animals without fur / as fish without the seas / and each kind of wind / blew with a chill in the airy oceans // they chanted out loud / their alphabet of fear / again and again / hoping for gods / when heavens remained empty // apart from two birds // circling, looking / for fresh prey and meat //

bis auf zwei vögel
