Totally danceable cover of Art Blakey's Moanin' Dance floor EDM

[EDM/Jazz/Vocal] Blakey/deCosta - Moanin'

[VERSE 1]
The notes I write with grace and skill, 
Though none will ever pay my bills, 
This craft I practice day and night 
But never think I’ll see a sight 

Of wealth to come from all my toil 
And yet I write and can’t recoil, 
Though I’ve composed a thousand songs 
Without a penny to prolong 

[CHORUS]
I'm spinin’ wheels, my hope grows thin
My dreams, they never seem to win
My heart, so full of bitterness
And life, an endless emptiness

[VERSE 2]
My efforts, no reward in sight 
No matter how I strive and fight, 
My work to earn me recompense 
But still my notes fall in a sense, 

No sign of fortune or of fame, 
From all the melodies I’ve made.
Of worthlessness, I sadly sigh 
And never feel I’ll touch the sky. 

[CHORUS]
I'm spinin’ wheels, my hope grows thin
My dreams, they never seem to win
My heart, so full of bitterness
And life, an endless emptiness

Toil And Turmoil

Dulce et Decorum Est
Poem By Wilfred Owen
Music by Richard deCosta

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Dulce Et Decorum

Living in the Classic Age

Voices raised, and spirits haze,
The darkness still lingers in love's maze.
In a sibilant symphony of blibber and blabber, An assonant allure like babbling brooks flabber, Consonant clamors of clickety clacks, Onomatopoeic whispers of quack, whiz, and smack.
A simile sewn with slushy and squish, As meaningless as a gobbledygook dish, Metaphorical mumbo-jumbo, a whimsical whirl, A nonsensical notion unfurl.
Voices raised, and spirits haze,
The darkness still lingers in love's maze.
Symbols of nothingness, enigmatic and vague, Anaphoric antics, a meaningless plague, Epiphora echoes, an unwieldy babble, Anadiplosis entwined in nonsensical rabble.
A chiasmus of confusion, disorderly dance, Synecdochic shenanigans, an empty expanse, Metonymic mayhem, a perplexing parade, A paradox of purpose, a nonsensical charade.
A poem devoid of meaning, a muddled melee, Devices dance together, entangled in a disarray.
Voices raised, and spirits haze,
The darkness still lingers in love's maze.
As curtains descend like a whispering breeze, A synecdoche of strings, the orchestra's tease, Metaphoric finale, a crescendo unseen, A performance dissolved like a vanishing dream.
Chiasmus encore, the stage breathes a sigh, Anadiplosis whispers, a silent goodbye, In the twilight of notes, the spectacle wanes, A resonant echo, the memory remains.
