Arrangement, Production & Final Mix by Gordon Midgley

In case you’re wondering why the track is called what it is then I cannot tell a lie. it’s all Gordon’s fault.  I was having an email conversation with him about life, the universe and everything when, for no reason I could easily glean at the time, he said “I’ve got to go and walk to Asda in the fog". I wasn’t sure if he meant he could only walk to Asda if there was fog or that he just needed a walk in the fog and Asda was as welcoming a place to go as anywhere else or, more simply, that he had to get some groceries and Asda was the nearest and most convenient place to go in such inclement weather. Whatever the reason, my immediate thought was “What a great title for a song…”.

There’s certainly no shortage of songs about Covid-19 but I just couldn’t resist the temptation Gord had inadvertently sent my way to vent some of my Covid frustrations.  If you chance read the lyrics and aren’t from the UK, I should explain that all of the words in capital letters are the names of UK supermarket chain stores.  You may also be wondering why I mentioned the Royal Yacht so, for those of you that hadn’t heard, our wonderful government, in the midst of the pandemic and the financial constraints it was placing on the country, announced that it was commissioning the building of a new one at a cost of somewhere around 200 million pounds.  Isn’t it good to know they have their fingers firmly on the pulse of public spending at times like these?

For some time now, Gal and myself have wanted to work on a track with both Gord and Arkestar and for many reasons, this particular song seemed to lend itself really well to the idea.  We’d therefore both like to thank them for lending their unrelentingly brilliant skills and commitment to the entire project and for making it such a complete pleasure to work on.  We certainly had more fun than we’d a right to. Thanks again for listening. (Terry Reeves)

Walking to ASDA in the fog
Every step with a loud paradiddle 
Avoid a variant of thickening smog
Strings of ministers in cabinet fiddle

Who got it?

Running to TESCO in falling snow
Remaining safe, wash all our hands
Vaccination waits for protection show
Sharp scratch but no summer sands

She got it
He got it

Skate to SAINSBURY’S on slippery ice
Peering to find the unforgiven Lord
Discuss the increasing price of rice
Politicians cut with ceremonial sword

Who needs it?

One, two cold runnings to MORRISON’S way
Sliding monobob a lonely lockdown 
Cresta pandemic flat on skeleton tray
Oxford to Moderna safety COVID town

Middle

Adventurous trip to the ICELAND’S
Climbing frozen peaks in cabinet change
Arctic conditions finding blue diamonds
Words of memoirs on only one page

Who reads it?

Freezer in ALDI like a 63 mission
Hunting food to last past pandemic 
People buy rolls with zero nutrition 
Persuasion ignored by Academics 

Who wants it?
They missed it

Running to LIDL in the ice-kissed smog
Chance of surviving a Third World War
Is there time to buy a new Royal Yacht?
I don’t think so!

This is the second chapter of our true love story, I Dreamt Last Night. This dreamy acoustic piece discusses the difficulties we have with being forced to be apart while we wait for Ciroyelle to receive permission to move to the USA so we can begin the rest of our lives together. In our dreams, however, we must never part.

Lyrics:
 I dreamt Last Night

I dreamt of you last night
two rivers ran as one
moon aligned with the sun
and then all was just right

Heard you say..

Always missing you
I just want to stay by your side
hold me tight
don’t want to / can’t stop kissing you!

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

I dreamt of you last night
our worries seem so far 
we were dancing between the stars
just like Lovebirds in flight

Heard you say…

still I’m missing you
I'll always stay by your side
and hold you tight
and I won’t stop kissing you

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

I Dreamt Last Night

Poem: by Emily Dickinson (Hope. from 1862)
Hope is so beautifully described in Emily Dickinson's poem. Hope, like a fragile bird, or like a storm. The hope we carry within us.
Piano , keys, and instrumental composition: Yann Kifer @annkifer
Vocal, vocal composition and photo: Oddrun Eikli
Thank you so much for this JOY Yann. Thank you from my heart.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (10. desember 1830- 15. mai 1886)

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

'"Hope" is the thing with feathers is one of the best known of Emily Dickinson's poems. An extended metaphor, it likens the concept of hope to a feathered bird that is permanently perched in the soul of every human. There it sings, never stopping in its quest to inspire.

Emily Dickinson wrote this poem in 1862, a prolific year for her poetry, one of nearly 1,800 poems she penned during her lifetime. Only seven of these were published while she was still alive. Her sister, Lavinia, collected and helped publish all of her poems after Emily's death in 1886.

Her poetry was highly original but was dismissed or simply misunderstood when she sent her work out for appraisal or publication. It was only after she had passed away and her poems circulated more widely that critics began to appreciate her genius.

雨の日の相合傘。二人とも照れながら歩く。
会話の糸口を探すけれど見つからず、
ビニール傘に打ちつける雨音だけを聴いている。
僕たちだけの世界・・・あと一言が言えたら・・
という曲です。
(2021/12/26 voを録り直し。バランスどうかな？)
(2022/1/5　少しだけBassにReverbをかけました。Voが聴き取りやすくなった気がする。)

On a rainy day, you and I share an umbrella and go home. Walk while being shy.
I searched for a clue to the conversation, but I couldn't find it.
I only listen to the sound of rain hitting a vinyl umbrella.
It's a world only for us ... If I could say one more word ...
It is a song called.
(2021/12/26 Re-recording vo. How about the balance?)
(2022/1/5 I applied Reverb to Bass a little. I feel that Vo has become easier to hear.)

■歌詞
『ビニール傘の下で』

ビニール傘を　ノック　する　音を聴いている　僕たち　さっき　からずっと
見上げてごらんよ　雨の雫が　僕達の上　奇麗だよ

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

ひたすら　雨
(A little embarrassed to look down)

傘を持つ　手を近づけたら　君が僕に触れて
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

二人だけのワンダーランド　水たまりをよけながら
あたりは夜になって　イルミネーション

ビニール傘の　下で　見る　君のマフラーの　巻き方が好きだ
顔を少し埋めて　白い息なんか吐いてる　僕と同じタイミングで

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

ひたすら　雨
君の事　守るよ　そんな事　言える雰囲気
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you…But i love you)

傘の下のワンダーランド　魔法がかかってリタルダンド
いまでは僕たちの世界は　スローモーション

On a rainy day.for us.僕らの　雨
君は言った　「もうすぐ魔法が解けてしまうね」

もう少しだけのワンダーランド　僕のそばにいてMy Girl
このまま　君を連れて行きたい　そう言えたらよかった

I want you to stay with me forever(ずっとそばにいてほしいって)
We couldn't say that one word(僕たちその一言が言えなかった)
Memories of a very old rainy day(とても古い雨の日の思い出)

■lyrics
"Under a vinyl umbrella"

We have been listening to the sound of knocking on a vinyl umbrella since a while ago

Look up, the raindrops are beautiful on our side.

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

Rain earnestly
(A little embarrassed to look down)

Hold my umbrella When I bring my hand closer, you touch me
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

Wonderland for only two people while avoiding puddles
Illuminations around the night

I like how you wrap your muffler, which you see under a vinyl umbrella
You bury your face a little and exhale white
At the same timing as me

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

Rain earnestly
I want to protect you forever from now on
Atmosphere that can say such a thing
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you… But i love you)

Wonderland under the umbrella Magical Ritaldando
Now our world is in slow motion

On a rainy day.for us. Our rain
You said, "The magic will soon be solved."

A little more wonderland, beside me, My Girl
I want to take you as it is I wish I could say so

I want you to stay with me forever
We couldn't say that one word
Memories of a very old rainy day

I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

How To Lie With Statistics.  2021 Janine Levinson

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
And add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
You make it so
You smooth it out
If you don't speak
Don't say the word
Then it won't be

May it never be

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe in average

And so you speak
You speak the word
Then everyone is indistinct
The twenty-four, the ninety-three
The thirty-five, the seventeen

And not a one will hear his name
But instead will stand in line
And just because the world is round
Will join their hands and always rhyme

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe the averages

Average things in a special design
Special things in an average design
Some times in your life, in your lifetime
Special things in a special design

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
You add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
And wonder what
What can it mean
To then divide 
To find the mean
Of ninety five and seventeen

The sound of the word makes you average
When you say the word it makes you average
I don't believe in average

Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

Your all I need right now, come on give it to me,
watch me shake it on the floor for ya sexually, 
pull me close, touch my body, press your lips on mine,
Kiss me soft, Close your eyes, let the planets align,  
Feel the energy between us as we dance in the dark
You got me burning up,  igniting a spark                               
Temperatures rising, take me up to the top
I’m so hot, I can’t breath, I don’t want you to stop,           
Run your hand right up my thigh, kiss me on the neck,
Grab me by the waist,  keep making me sweat,
You got me so hot, come on boy make a move
give me what I need, you got nothing to lose,             
Let me show you how to do it, move around to the beat,
Keep grindin’ all night, I wanna feel the heat,
Tease me with your touch, so gentle and smooth…. 
And do it to me right now, that little thing that you do…

HOOK:
Shake your body for me, let me see you get down,
Bounce your  booty to the beat, move to the sound,
Don’t you know what you do to me, You Make me so hot that I can’t breathe 
Come on baby your all I need , right now…..

VERSE 2
Turn the music up yeah were setting the mood
wrap me up in your arms, make me feel good,
I like the way you do it, get closer to me,
I need someone like you, baby come set me free,
You raise me up when I’m with you, I feel like I can fly,
you swept me of my feet, now I'm touching the sky,
You Got me so hot, can't find the words to describe,
The sensations, The vibrations, I get deep down inside,
When I'm alone in my bed, I dream of you in night,
can't get enough of what you do cause you do it just right,
The way you put it on me, looking me in the eyes,
grinding up against me, grabbing me by the thighs,
Your my obsession, got me sweating, when you turn up the heat,
It's crazy, I can’t take it, when your not here with me,
so come on boy don't be shy, I've been waiting for you,
to do it to me right now, that little thing that you do.
