ABOUT THE ARIA
From Masquerade, the third act in a trio of operas called Three Way. Masquerade takes place at a lavish suburban home. It’s a swinglife party, where people from all walks of life pursue their wildest erotic dreams. Couples in masks and robes have paired off in twos and threes. In this aria, the conservative, middle-aged Larry thought he was going to have fun with two ladies, but had performance anxiety. He pours a drink and laments.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
I’m angry with myself.
Well, just a part of myself—
The part that lies there like a shrunken lump.
I could take that magic pill,
But I’d rather use my will,
Not an artificial bump to end this slump.

Two of them, two of them, what more could you ask?
Two luscious ladies, eager and game.
That makes three of us, three of us, all in our masks,
The lighting is low, the cushions are deep,
It’s my favorite dream but I’m not asleep.
And Little Larry Junior’s not making a peep.
I guess it’s not my night.
Not my night. Not my night.

I’m beating up myself.
I should be nicer to myself.
I want to keep on playing in the game.
But despite my healthy hunger,
The other team is so much younger
And my pitching arm is feeling awful lame.
When did the wild man get so very tame?
Not my night! Not my night.

Subterranean Homesick Blues (Dylan Cover)

A joy to create! Probably one of the newest songs written for the album, the guitar was written a while before the lyrics, I've been wanting to do something with this tune for a couple years and the effervescent Matt Warren has added that cherry on top!

Cracking vocal track from the Cheshire based singer/songwriter, once again really makes the tine what it is - all of the collabs do, cant thank Matt enough. Man of your talent!

We hope you enjoy, whoever, and wherever you are ✌😀 ✌😊

A song about becoming a parent

LYRICS:

When she arrived, fixed me with purple eyes
Life changed in a moment
knew I've got to keep her alive

I get scared for the future, when my time is mine again
no knowing who I’m gonna be
I don’t care for this

There’s something about this that I’m supposed to hide away
It three-word silence so loud it is deafening me

After we launch you, are you gonna come back home?

Launch

Special thank you to my friend Mr Robert Grigg always an honor and pleasure to work with such a talent .....cheers my friend!

LETRA:
Há dias em que o mundo
Muda sem querer
Há dias vagabundo
Rumo ao meu querer
Sem bússola, sem fronteira
Sigo o amanhã
Sem rótulos
Sem eira ou beira
Vivo sem saber o tal porquê
E pra quê saber?
Basta viver
E se fizer Sol, siga o Sol
Pra quê saber?
Se fizer Sol, siga o Sol

Divago pelo mundo
Sempre e devagar
Vadio, vagabundo
E o mundo sem saber
O que é que há
Sem bússola
Sem eira ou beira
Here I go again
(Again and again)
Sem rótulos nem barreira
Percebo o Sol, a chuva
Estarão lá sem ter porquê

E pra quê saber?
Basta viver
E se fizer Sol, siga o Sol
Pra quê saber?
Basta viver
Se fizer Sol, siga o Sol
Pra quê saber?
Basta viver
Se fizer Sol, siga o Sol
A Lua e o Sol

Composição: Lima Júnior
