3 Recercadas 1553  (Diego Ortiz: 1510-1570)

Lyrics and Music: James Toburen

In Blackmoor's quiet grace,
Tess, a flower in the open space.
Dreams like winds across the moor,
A shepherd's daughter, love to explore.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Marlott's fields, a world so small,
Tess, heeding destiny's call.
Durbevilles' door, a fateful night,
In noble disguise, love took flight.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Through fields of gold, she roamed,
A fleeting love, a heart disowned.
Stonehenge whispers ancient lore,
Tess, entangled, forevermore.

Angel's love, pure and fair,
Secrets unveiled, a heavy air.
Past shadows linger, a haunting song,
Tess, in sorrow, she did belong.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Stonehenge's shadows, a sacred ground,
Tess sought solace, fate unbound.
Gallows' shadow, a solemn stand,
Society's falsehood, destiny's hand.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

In Tragedy's Embrace, Unaware

In Tragedy’s Embrace, Unaware

Some time ago I had contacted https://soundcloud.com/francescocartocci , I almost thought he had forgotten me, then he sent me a wonderful instrumental he composed, arranged, played and later mastered very skillfully. 

In the course of our conversation, I made a joke. You've already guessed it, the humour you find in my country casts its shadow. Fortunately, we were able to clear up any misunderstandings... :)

That's how this song came about (I swear it's all true...)
The photo was also taken by Francesco, by the way, and dates back to the golden age when people were still allowed to smoke in hospital.

Thank you very much for collabing with me, it was a lot of fun... :)




Zeitgeist

Im toten Winkel, da haust
Ein Schatten, der mich immer wieder verfolgt
Jedes mal, wenn ich arbeiten will
Ein Seufzer des Zweifels
Fällt in mein Ohr
Das ist nicht immer unbedingt schlecht, 
Doch es macht nervös, 
Sieh,

Kann nicht ohne dich sein
Kann nicht ohne dich leben,
Du tiefste Angst
Kann nicht ohne dich gehen, 
Du tiefste Angst


Behind the blind spot there lurks
A shadow that is always following me
Everytime i want do my work
A sweet sigh of doubt
Just drops in my ear
This is not necessarily bad, 
But It bothers me, 
See

I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you , now
My deepest fear
I can’t leave without you, now
My deepest fear

How i wish, you were not here
I would not shed a single tear
I would
I would


Can’t you leave without me ?
Can’t you just let me sleep in ?
My deepest fear
Would you live without me, now
My deepest fear
Would you ?
Wouldn’t you ?
Would you, please ? 
Would you, please ?

Featuring The Electric Recall of 2031 from Jeryia J. Enjoy

Electric Recall 2031

Second song I ever uploaded, in 2020!, around December! Just a remix and repost! Gauging  how far I’ve come, ha!🙏🙏🙏..

Lyrics:
Slowly and softer 
Now, gently, “ what’s the offer? “

Taking it all, taking it all away 
Gotta give it up. Gotta give it up, they say 
Play 

Firstly, you’re a dreamer 
Secondly, quite the schemer
I’m third in line, but I haven’t got a dime to pay 
Fourth and 10 decline, man,I haven’t got a rhyme to say 

Taking it all, taking it all away 
Got to get it up, gotta give it up, they say 
Play 

Yay ￼

Giving it all away

Giving It All Away

Closer

Por amor
 
De tanto suponer un mañana
en un lugar que abrigue del frio
quizá te vi por una ventana
o tal vez fue a orillas del rio.

Será que al fin oí las campanas
después de un largo tiempo dormido
Tal vez porque musas holgazanas
despiertan sobre un Do sostenido.

Rogué por un pedazo de cielo
lloré por ver un árbol caído
caí como la piedra en el hielo
bajo el sol.

Seguí la luz que se asoma y emana
confiado en un destello encendido
la llama que en las sombras me aclara
se funde con lo desconocido.

Y acaso te seguí por senderos
de un tiempo que se vuelve testigo
la danza entre viento y el velo
descubre un tesoro escondido.

Sentí que en un instante pasaron
los años que quedaron perdidos
el día que tus ojos brillaron
por amor.

I know I am forgetting folks equally inspiring, and I apologize! So many of you are so good. If I had the facility on the instrument that you acoustic magicians do, this performance would not have the slight stiffness that it does at times.

From My Body

Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday of your choice(s)!! Most of what few holiday songs I have done, I have put an unexpected twist in the middle. For example, Valentines day I did an ambient candy outer shell with a chewy jazzy center. Or last Christmas, I did a song called Bipolar Charlie (Brown) which took a happy Peanuts song and made it dark in the middle in an unexpected turn of events. Here's this holiday's take with a twist on the old classic; "Oh Christmas Tree". 

Hope you enjoy!

Because the old world is really going insane, we need a new one!
