Like Rain (feat. Lady of Fire)

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

All right ,  this  is just not just a blues ...Well, I think...Hope you enjoy the blues, funk, rock, jazz, klezmer and  hip-hop flavors I tried to bake here ...well, that's all ... so far ... I think :)=
I ain't no love
I ain't no brother
I ain't no sister
I'm  a lonely man

I ain't no money
I ain't no time 
I ain't no freedom
I've been working all the time 

I did the right things
But it didn't lick the right boots 
Now i feel like a rolling stone
Kind of soulful... of confusion

Terrible Blues

First track in almost 2 years! 

Anyone who is struggling at the moment or has in the past struggled, this is for you!

A Struggle

Lyrics:
I come and visit you every month or so
Or when I can find the time
I wheel you out to the gardens
And down to the Dining Room
You don't seem to know who I am
You tell me that you've "taken 7 lovers"
One for "every continent in your mind"

TV  Stars they never let you down
They come around
They follow you through the years
The re-runs and the tears
TV Stars they never let you down
The way i've let you down
The way I let you down

I feel you every time I laugh
I feel you when I fight my prejudices
I feel you when I question those who control the master switches
TV Stars
Goddamn It, come back to the land of the living
TV Stars, they never let you down

At 3 o'clock, you turn the TV on
You can't hear a word I say...

Don't let it happen

I am a vocalist.   I trained in musical theatre and modern vocal techniques .  Open to collabs. I am always trying new ways of using my voice.  I like classic power ballads, I enjoy singing anything that challenges my vocal skills, I have worked on collabs that are in very new genres to me and have really enjoyed it. My influences on me an my voice are Joni Mitchell and Matt Monro for very different reasons. 

I work in care homes singing to people with Dementia. I have sung for and been trained by the Alzheimer's society how to entertain and support people with this condition.  I am a florist and run workshops for people with dementia. 

Working as vocalist for Kenny Sawyer and Paploviante.

I use Logic Pro X to mix and enjoy trying to develop more professional recordings.

I am always happy to chat about music and how we can help each other on SoundCloud to be a community.

I hope you enjoy my tunes.
