Take Me There 04

Fade Into You

Days that I remember by Keri Johnson

When I close my eyes 
and picture places we would go
walking thru the tender reed 
and catching tadpoles

Christmas was your favorite time
you made it feel like home
romping thru your favorite creek 
into your favorite swimming hole

Where do the flowers go in November?
why do the leaves have to change?

Where are the days that I remember?
Why does the heron fly away?

When we were small you were the fearless one
climbing the highest trees
jumping off the ramps with the boys 
unafraid of falling on your knees

I hear your footsteps run upon 
the streets where we once played
your smiling eyes and golden hair
burn thru the morning haze

Where do the flowers go in November?
why do the leaves have to change?

Where are the days that I remember?
Why does the heron fly away?

You Came (Kim Wilde Cover)

IKAW (YOU)

You are God's fullfillment
The answer to my prayers
So that in all the time
Every moment
The one I'll love is you

You are the light of my world
The half of my heart
No one else is here even for a moment
That would ever change me
Now and forever it'll be you

All of my moves
It's because of you
If there is tomorrow that i am looking forward to
Because there is one that is you
Forever is not enough
For every moment to..
For over and over is..
I will love is you..

This is an adaptation to the Intermezzo of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. Some of you will recognize it as the parting music from the Godfather. You will wonder why on earth I sang this song given I do not have the voice for it. Suffice it to say that it fufills a promise I made to someone I love very much. The things we do for love...

Intermezzo Mascagni-Ave Maria

What Child is This

Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Movement 2. Kevin Sumner sent me a track of Mandolins, Guitars and Bass playing this piece of music. I played the first violin part on flute to Kevin's instruments. Listen also to Kevin Sumner's inspiring recording of Movement 4 :https://soundcloud.com/dunlooser/eine-kleine-nactmusik-iv-rondo-allegro
The project is dedicated to my Dad who loves this Mozart music and my flute playing.

Alex brightened my morning not too long ago when he let me listen to an instrumental track he played the night before. I loved it, it was addictive. He just called it Diggin-it, because he was into the beat. Immediately ideas came rushing into my head to play on its double meaning, and since it was hard to explain in a message how I was seriously going to sing a song about Diggin-It, I sat down at my table and in two hours wrote and recorded the vocal track . He loved it. It was addictive. So he sent it on to Ed Haydon who not only added the piano and keys but masterfully pulled it all together with his Sound Engineering skills.  This song has been nothing less than inspired by these two talented and beautiful men and if it gets you going too, and if the tune also gets stuck in your head, then our job is done.  Enjoy!

Such a shame it had to end this way,
it was a game I didn't want to play.
You played a hand with cards that didn't show.
I didn't see it coming, how was I to know?
ref.
Diggin-it, yeah, Diggin-it, ha!
You've dug your own grave,
Baby, now live in it.

If you kick someone when they are down, what goes around comes back around,.
when your other leg lets you go,
you'll have nothing to stand on
no way to go.
ref.
Deceive me, use me,
that's how you will lose me.
Talk to my hand, last time I'll understand.
You thought you'd break me, tear me, shake me,
but my soul you can't take from me.
ref.
My soul is mine.
