haiku #343: Persistently I stare / At the moon / Still I cannot hear

Brought to live from Vinny’s Lounge and Gambleteria. On the outskirts of Las Vegas. Song by my bandmate Ian Stephen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMRSDBTAeDA

Lyrics

I WAS WATCHIN' A DVD OF ELVIS, IN 1977 IT'S ONE YOU'LL NEVER SEE
IT NEVER REALLY WAS A DVD, I MADE A COPY FROM A TAPE
THAT SOMEBODY GAVE ME, AND ELVIS IS STILL GREAT
 ALMOST 30 YEARS LATER

THE KING LOOKS ALL PUFFY AND FAT, BUT NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE GIVES A CRAP
ELVIS LOOKS LIKE HE'S ALREADY DEAD, HIS BLUE BLACK HAIR IS RUNNIN' WITH SWEAT 
HE HANDS OUT SCARVES TO HYSTERICAL CHICKS, ALL THE WHILE LOOKS BLOATED UP AND SICK
BUT WHEN HE SINGS "HOW GREAT THOU ART", IT'S SOMETHING THAT TRANSCENDS ART

LET ELVIS FREE, ON DVD 
1977, JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN

YOU CAN'T REWRITE HISTORY, IT'S SO MESSED UP IT'S SOMETHING TO SEE
MAYBE ONE DAY WE'LL GET TO SEE IT, IF PRISCILLA AND LISA MARIE WILL FREE IT (SHE'S DEAD)
NOBODY CAN TAKE THAT AWAY, IT'S A REAL PERSON AND THAT'S OK 
THESE MODERN DAY ENTERTAINING FOOLS CAN'T COMPETE
ELVIS IS TOTALLY COOL

LET ELVIS FREE, ON DVD 
1977, JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN

Let Elvis Live

'you can('t) change' with Scratch Kelly 

Scratch: beat, synths, backing vocals, production, art
Scotty: guitars, lyrics, vocals 

I can't even blame you, girl,
after I've learned about your world.
Fucked up, but, still, that is that.
I have given all of me,
and sometimes I did believe
that we'd create a habitat. 

But then tonight happened again,
and I've lost my love, and best friend. 

It didn't need to escalate,
then you wanted to stay out 'late',
drink some more, and party hard.
Then when it was time to leave,
you spoke shit I'd rather disbelieve, 
and now I have to leave. It's hard.

Because when you're straight, you are great.
But, I keep making the same mistake
of forgiving you. Now, it's too late.
My heart is torn, but, so is fate. 

You can('t) change.

you can('t) change (with Scratch Kelly)

Boson Spin - Staring at the Moon [naviarhaiku343]

Orbit Over Luna C

Orbit Over Luna C (NaviarHaiku343)

I'm a composer, working from a 3' x 5' studio (some may call it a dinette) in a 5th wheel camper, while traveling the United States. I've been on the road for six years, so most of my recent work will have come from a different state (of mind and location) during my travels.

Music makes me feel better about everything. I don't know that I'm ever happier than when I am creating. I sometimes wonder if creativity isn't one of the primary keys to happiness. Do you ever feel better than when you say, "Look what I did."? This phrase magically conjures the purest sense of childlike joy.

Music works for every part of our lives. We all have music for when we are sad, happy, celebrating, meeting others, when we are alone, and even when we are lonely. Did a song come to mind as you read each of those situations? I remember the first song I ever heard on the radio, on my first bus ride to kindergarten. One of my favorite musical memories is playing in a band for steel beach on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

I love telling stories with music. Everybody loves John Coffey in the Green Mile, but Mr. Jingles should have a song commemorating his reaching and joining the circus at Mouseville. If you agree, join me for this and similar journeys. The music here is synthetic, but as real as you would choose to have it.

My music most often lands on Soundcloud first and is inspired by one of my favorite communities, Naviar Haiku:
https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku
I find writing to a Haiku prompt sufficiently limiting and exquisitely inspiring.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
