Hey…. Did this song go in so many directions until this final recording. It started as an electric slide song, then a mandolin song, and finally as an acoustic guitar/recorder song. You know I laugh every time I play recorder. Just imagine a rough and scrappy, wild old man creating such a thing. Hahahahaha. Anyway, there are a lot of crows here. When I was working on the slide version, I heard them cawing outside as they flew by. (I scrapped my impromptu birdcall crowing on this, no one needs to hear that, not even the crows.) Lyrically the song has 2 distinct moods with some vocal transitioning. And guess what folks: As a novice singer, I can finally vibrato my voice… some more shenanigans you’ll have to put up with. Back to the crows. In town, we have a huge flock (murder) of town crows. Hundreds. They sure love fast food, and hanging out by the high school where tasty, tossed tidbits can be had. They are organized too, as if in an air force, as they are mostly wary of us humans… Finally, happy holidays to all who celebrate, and happy times to everyone else. Hope you enjoy this one. I sure did. Mark

花燭

過去連なる螺旋を
断ち切って灰となれ
前進する好奇心は
引力と呼ぶのだろう
抑止となる過去に今
餞と火を灯せ
進化とはいつの時も
残骸の遥か先へ

一切の情を断って
僕は今一歩前へ
晴天の下出ずる
僕は今火を放って

いくつ負を払って
僕は今に生きているの
到底 想像の彼方
今を生きる産声を
抑止となる過去を淘汰
燃え広がるこの焔
推進するこの身テーゼ
残灯背に遥か先へ

未来過去の上に立って
覗く先はまだ見えず
高鳴っていく胸の鼓動
前進とは過去の淘汰

一切の情を断って
僕は今一歩前へ
晴天の下出ずる
僕は今火を放って

一切の情放って
僕は今息を吸って
日向に咲く花になって
僕は一つ死を遂げた

一切の情をもって
僕は今僕になって
晴天の下出ずる
僕は今僕となった

"Shadows Stay"

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space. 

Verse 2
Your watch still ticks on the bedroom shelf,
I wind it up, but it won’t help.
The calendar froze on a winter day,
The ink of your handwriting won’t fade away.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 3
Some nights I dream you’re walking near,
Your coat on the rail, your voice in my ear.
I wake to nothing, just the ceiling’s stare,
And the heavy reminder that you’re not there.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Verse 1
The house won’t move, but the air feels thin,
Every step I take, I trip where you’ve been.
Your chair’s still warm in the quiet place.,
I keep the lights low, in this blue space.

Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They whisper in a crooked way.
I keep on talking, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my breath, and the sound of goodbyes.

Final Chorus
You’re gone, but the shadows stay,
They haunt me in a tender way.
I reach for your hand, but it slips through the night,
And I’m left with the dark, and the absence of light.
