SHELTERING EACH OTHER

I live in Montreal West and the radio station in my kitchen is tuned 24/7 to Radio Station K103.7 located on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation.  One day a song by Garland Jeffreys was playing and my poetic juices started flowing. This song was the end result. Hope you enjoy.


                                                  Dominique Is Stoned


                                                       
As Dominique looks out his window
a song comes on the radio
it’s Garland Jeffreys singing to some senorita
saying something about the CIA.
Well it’s three o’clock in the afternoon
and he’s trying to write a tune
about what the Master said
when He turned stones into bread.
But between the words and the smiles
tears flow every once in a while
for he knows that the Masters’ chains
are the slaves’ master - it’s all a game. 

And Dominique 
Dominique                                      
is stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned.

Dominique does his best to understand
why the dealers get the upper hand
but he knows that hope turns to crime
in the ghetto even the shadows rhyme
as the children play in the lions den
all in the name of money rubles and yen
and on Sunday it’s “In God We Trust
thank you Jesus for dying for us.”
But between the nightmares and the dreams
his hopes and schemes like diamonds gleam
for he knows that when push comes to shove
we all need someone to love.

And Dominique
is stoned  
stoned 
stoned
stoned. 

 
Dominique spends most his free time
trying to change water into wine
and watching the changes of the colours
he’d like to touch a guru - even a saviour
meet the King of Kings - the Queen of Queens
before the curtains draw the final scene
and the crowd yells crucify - crucify
another false one - he must die
but between the visions and burning bushes
uppers and downers and hip-hop rushes
he knows the day - the day will come
when everyone will touch The Sun.

And Dominique
Dominique 
is stoned
stoned 
stoned 
stoned
stoned
stoned.
 



Dominique Is Stoned

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pic: edited eyefish photo taken by my other sister during one of my hard summer rehearsals.

LETRAS / LYRICS

ENTRA SIN MIEDO / COME IN WITHOUT FEAR

Fuera hay truenos; / Outside there are thunders;
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Fuera hay viento; / Outside there is wind;
entra corriendo. / come rush in.

Soy tu refugio protector; / I am your protective shelter;
entre mis brazos estarás mejor: / whithin my arms you’ll be better:
ven a buscar mi calor. / come to find my warmth.

Dentro hay fuego; / Inside there is fire;
entra a verlo. / come in to see it.

Dentro te espero, / Inside I wait for you,
entra sin miedo. / come in without fear.

Texte Français et Google traduction

TANT DE TANT
Tant de distance, de kilomètres,
Et cette absence qui prend la tête !
Se voir au loin, s’imaginer,
Et n’être enfin que séparé.

Tant de désirs gardés en soi,
Même si l’av’nir nous les donn’ra !
Il faut chasser tous ces démons
Qui font douter au plus profond.

Tant de souffrances à l’intérieur,
De coups de lance perçant le cœur !
Et plus il saigne à rendre vie,
Moins ne s’éteignent les voeux d’envie.

Tant de temps, de temps perdu,
Sans pour autant on s aime plus !
On se fait signe et on s’appelle,
Par quelques lignes que l’on veut belles.

Tant de ces manques marqués de vide
Que l’on se planque sans être lucide,
Et qui reviennent à chaque instant,
Remuer la peine dans nos dedans.

Tant de coupures pour notre amour,
Et de blessures plus chaque jour,
Qu’il faut panser à l’eau d’espoir,
Cicatriser pour mieux se voir.

Tant de larmes dans nos yeux,
Comme des flammes qui donnent le feu,
S’en vont mourir le long des joues,
Pour mieux se dire…. et bientôt nous.

Tant de temps, de temps perdu,
Sans pour autant on s aime plus !
On se fait signe et on s’appelle,
Par quelques lignes que l’on veut belles.

SO MANY
So much distance, kilometers,
And this absence which takes the lead!
See yourself in the distance, imagine yourself,
And finally to be separated.

So many desires kept in oneself,
Even if the future will give them to us!
We must cast out all these demons
Which cause deep doubts.

So much suffering inside,
Heart-piercing spear shots!
And the more it bleeds to bring life,
Fewer wishes of envy go out.

So much time, wasted time,
Without, however, we love each other more!
We wave and call each other,
By a few lines that we want to be beautiful.

So many of these void-marked gaps
That we hide without being lucid,
And who keep coming back every moment,
Stir the pain in our hearts.

So many cuts for our love,
And more injuries every day
That we must heal with the water of hope,
Healing to see yourself better.

So many tears in our eyes,
Like flames that give fire,
Will die down the cheeks,
To better say…. and soon us.

So much time, wasted time,
Without, however, we love each other more!
We wave and call each other,
By a few lines that we want to be beautiful.

TANT DE TANT

TANT DE TANT (La distance en amour)

Walk Alone

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life

Too close to home is the second track to be taken from my elements e.p and solo project 
To overcome darkness and isolation we have to reset our-selfs  from within and find the light its humanity against the elements but nature will always find a way and win [Jim mystic manser nov 2020]
lyrics 
The pressure cookers boiling and we got to close to home
 society has been spoiling all the things we loved and known 
locked down and now you say your missing having fun
just a way of nature telling you shes done
is it me ? looking too a grey and empty sea
is it you ? doesnt have a clue what we supposed to do
and now its all to close to home
they say your better off alone 
and i keep running from the storms 
to find a place thats safe and warm

put my arms and legs into the rain and in the air
frustrated travellers you arent going anywhere
just a slice of fiction now its getting hard to laugh
like a faded actor who hides an autograpth
is it us? making to much fuss to get from A to B
or is it me living in this life of novel mysteries

VERSES:
Been to Venus and Saturn --------now I've returned 
to set the beats on fire ----------so let the fire burn 
this is IPG1 -----------Spark a fire ------first phase-------was the
Beat and the lyrics-----------now here— comes the blaze
When hip-hop went sideways ----------I brought it all back
The styles --------I displayed --------as I put it --------back on track
Don't be afraid ----------------- IPG1 is back
Taking it back...
Verse
Kicking ass with rhythm patterns------- until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead---- like another-time zone 
More than you can handle-----in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done ----- not till--your minds blown
This is how I do it---------------not being conceited
A cosmic contingency------------mission completed
I rock reality---------------------phonies defeated
Hungry for HipHop--------------automatically repeated
Chorus
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
Verse
Check the rhymes---- the style --------and------- the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves ---------you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats -----------like never before 
And when I'm done -----------you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time ---------could be a blast from the past
present or future-------but built to last
now as the beat hits ----------it knock you out your daze
remember the beat------------- was just first phase 
Riding The beats ---------with a hip-hop groove 
now I'm rocking normal -------------I just can't lose
taking it back...
I Stay alert --------and always at the ready----
don't mean I'm dangerous -----just means I'm deadly------
There'll be casualties---as a matter of fact
Person---ally ----------I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality---------- phonies-----------defeated
Total calamity---------------------My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat -----------raining down defeat 
so cry me a River ---------------cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse -----------------to make you shiver
Taking it back...
Verse
Ain't no sense------- in being ----------so damn formal 
I'm incognito--------- so --------------let's rock normal 
this is IPG1------on the inside track
traveling through time ------------taking --hip-hop back
thought it was over ------------hell----no ------------------I'm back
Run it through your headphones ----------and add it to that stack
of tracks --------you have --------that hit like crack
then eliminate ---------------------------------all that other crap ------
they had the nerves------------ to calling rap
replay it again -------------Because this jam----- is packed

Wanderlust

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROAMING OF THE SEA
IT SEEMS TO ME THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE
THERE IF YOU STAND FACING INFINITY 
IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING BUT THERE’S PLENTY TO SEE

ANY NEW BABY BORN A WHALER HE WIL BE
EXCEPT IF HE’S A GIRL SHE’LL BECOME A LASSIE A LASS
WITH THE GULLS HIGH ABOVE SHRIEKING THEIR OWN SHANTY
PRAISE THE WIND THAT CARRIES THEIR BODIES SO FREE

AND THE FOAM A SPLASHING ON THE BOULDERS DEBRIS
TELLS IN SHORT NO TELLING WHAT A  WONDROUS STORY
FROM THE START TO THE END LIFE’S TENACITY
BATTLEFIELD STORMY ROUNDS OF IMMENSE ENERGY

HERE I STAND WITH A FRIEND INVISIBLE TO SEE
I GOT TIME ON MY HANDS STRETCHING OUT AT SEA 
I DO FEEL IN COMMAND BOTH SAD AND HAPPY
EVEN A GRAIN OF SAND IT IS SO GOOD TO BE 

THERE’S ABUSE AND HARDSHIP THERE IS INSANITY
ALL ON BOARD OF OUR SHIP OUR KIND OF A BOUNTY
BUT WHATEVER THE DIPS IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
ON AND ON HAND IN HAND WE’LL MAKE IT YOU’LL SEE

ON THE EDGE HERE I STAND WITH SOMEONE NEXT TO ME
IT’S THE MAN OF ARAN THE GHOST OF FLAHERTY
WE THREE ARE IN COMMAND FACING ETERNITY
AND IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WHICH IS SOMETHING TO SEE

AT THE END OF THE LAND STARTS THE ROARING OF THE SEA

MAN OF ARAN (Lyrics)

Goodbye Feather             
Janine Levinson 2020

I sent Jon Lock a raggedy track with vocals, keyboards and some of the worst drums I've ever generated. He managed to make beauty in spite of all of that. I dumped those darned drums and mixed it up once I heard the lovely accompaniment he'd made. Thank you @jon-lock-5

Goodbye Feather 

It’s dark in the morning and you’re asleep
Warm and dreaming while I plan my retreat

I’m nobody’s no one, never wanted you as mine
You've got a real heart, I’m gonna leave you behind

I‘m not as good as what you'll find 

I wish I was as sweet as a song
And as clear as a windy piece of sky
I'd lift you, my Feather    
I'd keep us together
Instead of saying goodbye    
But I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye

Alone here this morning It feels black and white
I drew you in pencil 'cause I overlooked your light

Go find you a painter
With some deeper blues and greens
Not these pale shades of passion
That we're living in between
We're not as good as love can be

I wish we were as sweet as a song
As clear as a windy piece of sky
I'd lift you, my Feather and we'd stay together
Instead of saying goodbye 
But I'm saying goodbye
goodbye

good bye  

good bye    

good bye    

good bye

Goodbye Feather - with Jon Lock
