Letra / translated lyrics:

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...

África (Hombres de tierra)

Unlike our previous two collabs, Dan does lyrics, vocals and lead guitars on an instrumental by me.
I made a 7/4 track for him, knowing he can sail odd waves, and here you are the fantastic result !!

Verse 1:
A promise was made
And It shouldn’t fade
The words were spoken
Then they was broken

We were in the bright sunshine
I thought she was mine
It’s not something you can pawn
And asa now she is gone

I was here forever beau
It was years ago

Verse 2:
But I thought it still held
Like a solid weld

A promise is a promise
Even for a doubting Thomas
It should carry some weight
It doesn’t have an expiration date

But a last I find
That things can unwind
And we are not together
In this Summer weather

Verse 3:
She made her assurance
But I had no insurance
From the broken promise she made
Yes our romance began to fade

Now I am in the dark
What was there was just a spark
Now I Don’t know
Which way to go

No direction in my life
Yes I’m living in such strife
Wondering if life means anything
My joy has no more spring

I am that sad guy you passed by
Not noticing the tears in his eyes

Amor fati - "love of fate".
Venal ressentiment - A resentment rooted in a corrupt or self-serving motive, where the resentful individual may be motivated by greed or personal gain rather than a genuine sense of injustice. 

Fabulous Failure	

wage slave wage slave
To a protestant work ethic
Birthright destiny 
amore fati

The smart exec knows where the wages are low
Nothing personal now just business you know
Egalitarian principles oh what a bore
How much is enough just a little bit more

Rose coloured glasses
Kissing assess  
Believe your own hype
That’s a leadership type


Fabulous failure
Fabulous failure

Cannibal capitalism 
Pandemonium
Craving idols 
Patchouli dreaming

The smart exec knows where the wages are low
Nothing personal now just business you know
Egalitarian principles oh what a bore
How much is enough just a little bit more

Peccadilloes
Na’er-do-wells
Venal ressentiment


Fabulous failure
Fabulous failure

Here's a fun rockin' cover I've had sitting around for awhile. I'm playing everything, singing (sorry), and I cut the drum loops together. BTW...that bass line is really fun to play!

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Where you came from
What’s in your name
How to grow a garden
Such a sinful shame
Won’t find it in your schoolbooks
History and Science
The truth has been cooked
To keep you in compliance

CHORUS
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to know, whoa

[Music]

How money works
How to get ahead
How to heal your body
Rid demons from your head
Won’t find it in the library
Lookin’ high and low
Just pray to Mother Mary
Sit back, enjoy the show, no

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know

[Music]

Scroll through the web
The discrepancies
Like trying to navigate
The Seven Seas
Won’t find it in the Bible
If you don’t bear the light
Just who’s your greatest rival
Just who to fight

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
‘Cuz they don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know..

[Music]

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

This song was composed for piano by Hitoshi Yasui, chairhouse of Tokyo, who was generous in allowing me to arrange and record it for guitars. It is a song from his "Piano Ten Thousand Leaves" project. His mission “is to create gentle, calm, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing piano music and share it with all human beings." He writes, records and posts one beautiful piano composition each day. This song is number 1990 from May 27, 2019. 

Thanks to Hitoshi for his daily musical watercolors and thanks for allowing me to adapt this. The original piano version by chairhouse can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/if-she-talked-to-him-one-more-time-1990-by-chair-house-05272019
