I wrote this song “Brightness” inspired by my favorite drama “Breaking Bad”where I met Walt Whitman’s poem.  I had a big inspiration and motivation from him.
music composed, played, sang and arranged by Chihiro Matsumoto(JETTT)
Lyrics quoted Walt  Whitman’s poem”When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer”of “leaves of Grass“ plus my original phrases


“Brightness” lyrics 
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick
Endless night

Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever need
Brightness!
Hidden night soul ever on call

Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself
In the mystical moist night air, and from time to time
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Try to get no one to be shooting stars
Try to get no one to be breaking stars

When I asked her about putting the words of his poem on my song, she kindly and so rapidly did some research and let me know the poems of Walt Whitman are in public domain, apparently.  
I felt very happy to know that I can use his wonderful words for my song with great respect.
“Thank you so much for your help and thoughtful advice, Pamela!”

Nobody’s hanging around
Been looking all over town, for you
Nothing’s popped up on my phone
Should not have left you alone
How could I have known
That you would run away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter 
gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a
happy song
Just then a knock at my door
We still haven’t found a cure, you know
But if you where one of these
You can go out to the store
This has become such a bore
I’d rather die than waste away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song
And you know, it’s not as bad as what they sell us on TV
It’s big business making lies reality
They make it hard to be the best that we can be
a roller coaster fiction ride we’ve got to always question why            
spoon fed soon dead get the fuck out of my head
This has become such a bore
We can no longer ignore
Healthily wasting away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us 
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song

Rocket fuel regular
Or rocket fuel light?
Said the Venusian
He was ever so polite

She said, give me regular
And lit a cigar
He knew straight away
That this girl was from Mars

No smoking in here
You’ll blow us all up
She said, give me ya phone number
And I might look you up

He went red
She remained green
Coz Martians and Venusians
Are like meat with ice cream

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream

He went red
She remained green
But when you think about it
What’s wrong with meat with ice cream

He gave her his number
That’s  what they did
She gave hime a wink
And he fluttered his lids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
He gave her his number
And a little while later they had green and red kids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
You know what I mean

Winter Rose

There is a lull in the field.   On Monday, we go back to the plough.  Till then …

Welcome to velleins’ table! The finest in the fief
Come to Mrs Fletcher’s fabled feast beyond belief

Porray of leaks and onions
Acrobats, fools and jongleurs
Don’t be seen, Thomas, from inside the Hall, where the nobles call

‘Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appear. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Now seek their humble household fires

Welcome to velleins’ table! The finest in the fief
Come to Mrs Fletcher’s fabled feast beyond belief

Venison on a trencher
Roasted swan dressed in feather
Take good care, Thomas, from inside the Hall, where the nobles call 

‘Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appear. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Now seek their humble household fires

Cos nobody knows we’re here.  Dedicated to the night
Rose winter rose appears. Celebrating out of sight.

The darling thrush, the spectre grey
The tangled bine-stems score the sky
Awaits their summer joy desires

There is a lull in the fields.   On Monday, we go back to the plough.  Till then …

Winter Rose

Winter Rose - Ren Faye | Candyside Arcade

Love is blind...and maybe a little deaf! A simple, folksy song about listening to someone pickin' a guitar. Sung by Sierra Wolfe, Chris and Shael on guitars and produced, as always, by Shael Wrinch at the Stone Hill studio, Bowen Island...
Lyrics:
My baby loves to play guitar
I know he's never very far
'cause when I hear that Gibson tone
I realize I'm not alone
My baby loves to play guitar
My baby loves to sing a song
and he may sing it right or wrong
He's not the best I've ever heard
but I hang on every word
My baby loves to sing a song
He's just a little out of tune
He's been know to clear the room
but when I see those dreamy eyes
his voice is still my sweet surprise
I'd buy his records by the pound
My feet would never touch the ground
and I may be his only fan
but I'd cheer to fill the stands
My baby loves to play guitar
