‘Winging it’ is a phrase (circa 1885) used by performers ‘depping’ for someone in the theatre, learning the part in the wings before going on stage.

Everyone’s 
Just winging it
Playing it by ear
Ad-libbing it
Life is a fool’s game
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?

And I don’t mind 
Admitting it
I once had a plan 
But I’m not sticking to it
So easy to drift
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?

Everyone’s 
Just winging it
Playing it by ear
Ad-libbing it
Life is a fool’s game
Isn’t it?
Isn’t it?

Everyone's Just Winging It

A melodic guitar meandering,using an ebow among other things. A song of empathy,sympathy and hope for better time,for those feeling isolation.

Take heart good people,this one's for you.

THERE WOULD BE EYES OF STARS

Music & Piano: Jan Schonander

Got in my head that I wanted to play something with a little staccato and this is what came out. Also thought it would be a good idea to do all four seasons and recruited three pianists to complete the cycle. Delighted that Debra Buesking agreed to take on summer and here is a link to her wonderful interpretation:
https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/summer-interrupted-c/s-6ix0O3wrxbm

Two additional Soundcloud artists have agreed to tackle Fall and Winter and when their inspiration results in a track the links will be here too. I have also put together a playlist where all four tracks eventually will be in a collection.

I spent seventeen long winters in Stockholm. Funnily enough the most challenging season to me was always spring with all the false starts and long hiatuses. By the time it’s May and you can reasonably expect some warmish weather (defined as over 50F) it inevitably snows and destroys your planned weekend bike ride, or maybe you just have to keep your down jacket in the closet a few more weeks and leave your lighter clothes at the back of the closet. Of course, spring is the beginning of a period of more fun and games. Hopefully you can hear the pull between spring trying to break through and winter lingering on in this music.

This is a performance with no post recording edits. It is entirely in Gm except for 1 note intended to denote a dissonant interruption. I wonder who can locate that B.

Spring Interrupted

The Golden Age

faced with the rays of heaven
you'll see everything is how it's meant to be
so let that supposition result in dancing
and the sound arising as you feel the need

quiet harbingers have walked the path alone 
and left behind their guidance in the marking stones
there is substance to these dreams of Avalon
I know you feel it in your bones

messages of love by satellite the anthem of the final days
we gather in the starless night in the last of the golden age

the heavy burdens of this life 
can make us selfish and blind
I see you there and I know
you are honest and kind

there is no weapon that will prevail against us
as we  stand our ground in the final days
you must remember love is relentless
here in the golden age 

trust that your heart will fill with joy 

it's still so early in the spring
on the spectrum of life 
more subtle is the journey as we arrive
no more hiding in half light

will you be there in the light of love

Lyrics:

Jesus’ little sister her name is Rita
she’s warm and bright and full of life
she’s a fine mamacita
we hardly ever see her
a maitre d’ at Papacitas 
working her way through junior college
For a degree in engineering

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics
are all that you can see

Jesus is her hero
played CFL football
was in a mariachi band 
now he’s a rep for Guitar Hero

She moves like Shakira
likes Kinky and Weezer
She laughs every time 
the DJ plays the Macarena

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics 
are all that you can see

Won’t you come over tonight
Rita please!
Won’t you come over tonight

Rita    - - -   Jimmy Repp + COtu

My white swan

The most beautiful journeys
on the most beautiful shores
out of sight
you stole them for me

the sweetest of faces 
and facade smiles 
to hide the ravagers
of a brutal childhood

i think of you 
whaterver the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like before 
My white swan 

All that remains from you 
are those old pictures 
of an unfailing friendship
but i haven't turned the page

i think you 
whatever the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like chasing the wind
we were like kings 
we were like beggars
my brother in blood 
my white swan 

Far away , i keep far away 
from those who called you « the black swan »
far away , from envious and means 
who understood nothing 
who just couldn 't even … see 

i think of you 
whaterver the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like before 
i look for you sometimes
in the corners of time 
my brother in blood 
my white swan

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

---------------------------------------

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)
in order of appearance in the lyrics:

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree
