Red Light Syndrome

Tis a noble sport but it does have its downside. The lifespan of a wrestler is typically reduced by 15-20 years attributed to the health consequences of the sumo diet. They are also banned from driving cars partly due to being too big to fit behind a steering wheel. This song, however, is about another fight which we must win!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSnhY0xBK7k

I’m a sumo wrestler
Don’t fit in a Tesla
I weigh 400 pounds 
Or ‘bout that
And a lotta the food’ll be
Rice, ramen noodles
Yeah
Ya gotta be fat

No gougin ’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Huff, luffa 
Keep your breathing in sync
Throw salt in the air
Show your palms 
That’s just fair
Make sure your mawashi’s 
Tucked in
   
Le lutteur de Sumo
Il ma fait ‘ah’
Il ma fait ‘oh’
Le lutteur de Sumo
C’est si bon
C’est si beau

No gougin’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Make sure your mawashi 
Tucked in
 And remind that bozo
Once he touches the doho
It means that he loses
I win

Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa

Elysium

"Oblivion" was originally composed for bandonéon, piano and bass, by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla in 1982. I have fallen in love with his music and had to play my own arrangement. Here is a YouTube of the original: https://youtu.be/hLX1-0VFjwE?si=LyDwslnJIlL8vT_9

My Love

Here my friends is the Re-Master of one of my most popular Contemporary Classical Piano Improvs.

In it, i seek to describe a life-experience that elicited feelings more intense than happiness, or even Joy; like the inexplicable emotions felt at the birth of one's first child; or... by reason of one of those deeply transformational experiences that enlighten us forever.

An impossible thing perhaps.

However... my dear Listeners,
Here it is.
And... 'Yes! It's Something Like This'.

Lyrics:

He was born
when the fall
brought down the rain
And the clouds were black
Thunder raged
through the skies

And they gave 
him a name
that brought him fame
When he grew up
and left his home
towards the unknown

Facing the danger 
Facing the unknown
His heart guided him through it all
Towards new lands
Towards new seas
He found the magic in his soul
The words untold

He was called the Child of the Storm
and through him all the magic was reborn
reborn

Embracing his shadows
and he fought them down
Sailing across the waters
under the pale stars
Healing his wounds
Chasing the demons
of the mankind
Risking his life
for all those poor souls

Follow your heart
Your heart

Learning the magic
The way to his inner soul
He studied hard and found a way of his own
Following his teacher,
the man who raised him up
They held the magic in their hearts no man could undo

He was known as the Child of the Storm
and through him all the magic was reborn
reborn

Preparing his boat
for the one last time
Sailing across the waters
under the windy skies
Saying his farewell
Facing the demons
for the one last time
He spent all his powers
and then he fell down

The symbol laid on his forehead
as they laid him down
Towards the city of the dead
And the white flowers filled the air
and people stood there
Letting their saviour go

Change your stars
Your stars

He ruled the air, 
the seas, the earth
He healed the injured, 
cleansed the dirt
He walked the land
of the dead
Spoke the words
none had ever said

The Child Of The Storm

Origins

Ooh..

When the darkness comes
You can look for me
When the darkness calls(it calls)
You can look for me...

Let me be your lullaby
Only dream of me(only dream of me)
Let me be the voice you take
Through the night

You can mark my words
I will be always be
The voice you know 
As you close your eyes with me...

Let me be your lullaby 
Only dream of me
Let me be the voice you take
Through the night
And you can hear my lullaby
And only dream of me
Take me through the night
The night

I want you to take me(your lullaby)
I want you to take me (I’ll be your lullaby)
I want you to take me
Through the night

And you can hear my lullaby
And only dream of me
Take me through the night
Take the night

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  I have completed my violin sonata. It is posted first in line to your left.  My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.
