Lyrics: Goethe

Lynceus, The Warder (Faust II, Goethe)

For seeing i’m born, for watching employed
To the tower i’m sworn, while the world i enjoy
I gaze at the far, i stare at the near
To the moon and the stars, the forest and deer

The eternally lovely adorement i view
And as it delights me, i delight myself too
You fortunate eyes, all you’ve seen there
Let it be as it may, yet it was so fair

I’m not positioned here on high
Just for my own enjoyment
What horror meant to terrify
Threatens from the firmament
I see sparks of fire gushing through
The lindens double night
Fanned by the wind’s rushing
Ever stronger goes the light

Ah! Within the hut is burning
Damp and mossy though it stands
Swift help, inthis direction turning
Is needed, yet no aid’s to hand
Ah! The pious old couple
so carefull ever of the fire
Made a prey to smoke to stifle
On this dreadful pyre

The flame burns on, glowing red
It’s now a black mossy pile
If only those good folks were rescued
From those fires of hell run wild

A bright flung of lightning heaps
Through the branches, through the leaves
Breaking, snapping, catching swiftly
With the branches flickered glow
Why have i such powers to see?
Why are mine the eyes to know?

The little chapel now collapses
With the falling branches weight
Already with bright, snakelike flashes
The treetops gripped meet their fate
Glowing crimson to the hollow roots
The trunks now burn with ease

What used to please my eyes below
Has vanished with the centuries…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1832

Homecoming

Homecoming by Jason Mowry & Carlos Vivanco

Quickly

The van broke down
just 5 miles from O'Hare
Not sure what we were doing
Had no tickets anyway
As the sun set in the West
We walked East
Planes roaring overhead

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

Not quite a decision
That either of us made
But a moment of clarity
And what it meant to stay
It never matters
Which road we take
As long as right beside me
I have Karla with a K

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The excitement and the newness
As we move from town to town
As we worked to settle down
Turned piece by little piece
into what we'd sworn not to become
we lived the lives we ran from

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The Vanishing Horizon

The name for this piece is a quadruple entendre.  It can stand for Randy California the fine guitarist of the band Spirit.  It can stand for a person named Randy in California.  It can stand for the famous donut shop in California.  Finally, it can stand for a person who is horny in California.   

Here are links to two of those meanings:

I wrote this on bass guitar.  That is, the bass line came to me in the morning when I was waking up.  I started recording it using my precision bass.  I play my Squire strat with the Lindly Fralin split blade pickups on rhythm and lead guitar. This  is one of my Surf Rock songs.  You can find others on trhis playlist.

I mixed this piece in Cubase and I used  iZotope Ozone to master it.  I do not spend much effort promoting my instrumentals so this song will probably have few plays, likes...  That is OK with me.  If you found it I thank you for listening.

Lyrics:

FEEL THE QUIET
Casting a glance at an old photograph
you see a young child smiling to the world.
Though many years have passed you can say
“that smiling child was me, it's true”.

Years of suffering force you to sit down
and everything has passed by.

The dreams you had.
The life you wished.
Indeed you never could realize
the passing days,
the passing years.
Do you think they have just passed in vain?

Out of the window the sky seems so blue.
You're looking the path carrying to another
world.
Lay out your hand as you're catching the sun.
In the warmth of the morning you close your
eyes.

“Oh. Please be quiet, and let me now just hear the wind”.

The dreams you had.
The life you wished.
Indeed you never could realize
the passing days,
the passing years.
Do you think they have just passed in vain?

You feel inside.
You feel the quiet.
You need to see the light.
You feel inside.
You hear the quiet.
You need to see the light, now.

Carry on your life
feeling quiet.
