Ice Dancer

Ice Dancer by John Hardman

Welcome to "Happiness," a song that celebrates the simple joys and moments that make life truly special. Back at the end of 2023, I reached out to friends on social media, asking them to share their definitions of happiness. Their heartfelt responses inspired the lyrics of this track, turning their collective wisdom into a melody that resonates with all of us.

"Happiness" is more than just a song; it's a tapestry woven from shared experiences and cherished memories. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, enjoying a peaceful moment with a cup of coffee, or finding joy in solitude with your favorite records, this song captures the essence of those moments that bring us true contentment.

Happiness

Lyrics:

A quiet gardener, laying lonely on his bed,
Something is calling, something is calling, faintly in his head
A dream of roses, draws him out to search the sky
Something is calling, something is blooming there,
Beyond the vision of his eye.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s a garden that welcomes every leaf?
Can it be, there are flowers that love my calloused hand?
Can it be, that they’re blossoming in a flawless land?

A quiet sailor, laying lonely on his bed,
Something is calling, something is calling, faintly in his head
A dream of dolphins, draws him out to search the sea
Something is calling, something is sailing there,
Beyond what he can see.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s an ocean that welcomes every stream?
Can it be, there's a ship that wants guidance from my hand?
Can it be, that it’s voyaging far from sea or land?

Something is calling everyone, there always seem to be,
Greetings that are reaching for us all.         
Something is hoping that everyone will listen carefully
For the spirit call.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s an ocean that welcomes every stream?
Can it be, something’s hoping to hold my calloused hand?
Can it be, something’s calling me from a flawless land?

VICTORY!
On our way, on our way, through valleys and shadows,
But in the new day Jesus is our light. No darkness, no night.
With new hope, believe in Jesus Christ and know, eternal life will never die, no, no.
For the love God gives me, let it be, oh, let it be.
With the love of God that we share over death and despair,
From this moment in time, with joy we will go on and on.
For a brighter day, on our way, to Heaven’s glory,
Christ’s victory. Victory! Victory!!

This one needed a lot of post mastering similar to how I would have done an Alpha Remaster, maybe that is on my brain now that I have been doing a bunch of those but the composition also lent it to this method.

lyrics:

With considerable trepidation
The student approached his instructor
Having scurried the stairs like a Josephoartigasia
And negotiated past the flunkies who loured over the colonnasia
During her appointed question hour

With an imagination that is descriptively fertile
There is no denying that
A crab walking right in front of a snapping turtle
Is like taking a bath in gravy and dancing in front of a lion

She asked if he was trying to mock her 
Having been queried as to whether she was really a doctor
And she fulsomely responded:
I am whatever floats your boats
In the grand tradition of Goebbels and Titus Oates

Before he could further lead her astray
She then went on to say:

As a brief digression, My learned studies gave me the impression that 
The bourgeoise will not educate you about your own oppression
For having deteriorated to calling me names
As an adjunct to these fun little games
You must uncritically accept my hyperemotional claims 
to self-victimhood as fact
You can pander about the superiority of self-reliance
But to question me is violence
So approach me with more tact

Slowly then he began 
By noting that underneath her table
Were a miserable little pile of sticky labels
A vicious impulse rose in him then to tease
He decided to riposte by saying well aren't these
The political pundit's definition of what is a man

He then went on to declaim
Regarding this spat about power dynamics you won't recognize
That no two umwelts are the same
The past is always changing but few realize

At the risk of sounding prophetic
He said well let's stop pretending
That it could be species ending
The droves of billions out there 
With binary sex adult woman fetish
Might just find a new aesthetic

Victoire!

Notre chemin,
Sur notre chemin,
À travers les vallées et les ombres,
Mais dans le nouveau jour,
Jésus est notre lumière.
Pas d'obscurité, pas de nuit.
Avec un nouvel espoir,
Croyez en Jésus-Christ et sachez,
Que la vie éternelle ne mourra jamais, non.
Pour Dieu qui me donne,
Croyez, oh, croyez.
Avec l'amour de Dieu que nous partageons,
À travers le désespoir et la mort.
À partir de ce moment dans le temps,
Nous continuerons avec joie pour toujours.
Pour un jour plus lumineux,
Sur notre chemin,
Vers la gloire du ciel,
La victoire du Christ.
Victoire!
Victoire!

Victoire - Victory by ZAHN in French, orchestral

Walkabout
“Hey, you want to go for a ride?” “Wheels up in ten!”
Verse 1:
E
Will I wake up, I guess I’m that guy
D A
Still shaking off, the echoes of the night
You’re standing there, with golden dreams and crazy hair
Not a care in the world, says the wild girl
Pre-Chorus:
E
What can I do, what can I say 
D
All these silly games we play
A
Live to waste another day
We all waste away
Chorus
E B A E
But everybody wants to be here, nobody wants to go
and everyone is chasing easy, but everybody wants a show
B A E
You can crawl out the door or you can run here with me
We can walkabout, let’s go, our life, our time, our journey
Verse 2: 
When I die, will you bury me, in a burlap sack, beneath a willow tree
I don’t need a stone, just the memories, planted in your mind, of when you danced with me.
Pre-Chorus:
All we do, the things we say
Lost to the wind, we lose our way
We live to taste another day
We waste it anyway
Chorus
But everybody wants to be here, nobody wants to go
And everyone is chasing easy, but everybody wants a show
Well, you can crawl out the door, or you can run here with me
We can walkabout, let’s go, this life, embrace the journey
Bridge 
D A
In this tapestry of time, we weave
E F#
This legacy in the songs we leave 
D A
Take my hand, choose harmony
B C#
We sing, we’re free
D F#
Everybody’s gonna need a friend
D A
Stay by your side until the very end
D F#
Jah, everybody’s gonna need some love 
D A
Live wild child, live while we’re young X2
Chorus-outro slow
cause everybody wants to be here, nobody wants to go
And everyone is chasing easy, but everybody wants a show
Well, you can crawl out the door, or you can run here with me.

Walkabout

One of my more experimental vocal pieces.
Which is saying something!
A cardinal example of the idea that at least other artists on Soundcloud will understand what the -attempt- was, but not necessarily everybody :)

lyrics:

A deer sent a dream to a seal one night
And as if to assuage his fright, he said
My watery friend
Are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light
Or are you something else instead

For the nonce
I discovered my entire personality is a trauma response

I can be stupid sometimes
But i kind of have to work at it
It's usually done as a courtesy
At the risk of committing apostasy though
It isn't really lost on me
That I'm watching a macabre monstrosity grow
And that's about the long and short of it

As the tanks rolled into Gdansk
The smugness had gone sour
Like a pigeon riding a surfboard
But the well to do at this late hour
Left this grisly scene ignored

Having settled for a meal at the Spur-Rowel
Was my portly dinner acquaintance
With deportment bordering on the crass
He sported a brightly colored towel
And had an aptitude for silent vowels
Giving directions with a bit of sass
To some caterer's rising star
Manoeuvre them hors d'oeuvres, lass
And you'll go far

He rapidly chattered on at me oblivious of any regrets
With lexical agility like a horse capable of winning the Preakness
Any religion that is famous for death threats
Is a reflection of its logical weakness

He wore these strange kneehighs and his articulation had a certain varnish
As we were playing backgammon
You cannot serve God and Mammon
Leastwise not with the same garnish
We would not wish in the least to tarnish
Our reputation for epicurean varnish 

Having expounded between the tangent and the tractory
He wound down his pithy orations
And concluded by describing
The nearby stink rising from the burning of olfactory ethics dissertations

We'd better get out of here and hide
The Butter-Side Down Kingdom is doing a genocide
We're in for a rather bumpy ride
It's time for prestidigitations
