What a beautiful and knowing extension of Hopper's work, and the spell he casts still.

A lovely song with lovely lyrics, melody, and presentation!

woke up to this folk/eye & ear opener/can't beat it/ or get it out of my head/like magic/ sticks/a hit

most entertaining lyrics, the fool on the  hill for the new millenia!!

This is definitely a hit. It is about almost everyone alive.  Makes me wonder in some pictures, I wonder if Hopper was saying there is no God let alone divine intervention. All hope is gone. There is no point where this isn’t true.  I may be reading too much into this.  Enjoyed my second listen.

Shake It
I wake up before the dawn
Watch the sunrise as I drive along
Find a good song on the radio
And start off another day

Will it ever cease to wonder
Every second, come what may
Just when I think I’ve seen it all
Life simply takes my breath away

Can ya hear the calling from way on high
Listen closely now and you can hear em say

Come on and shake it
Come on and shake it
Shake your life on up a bit

Come on now...

Now as it all goes, racing by
Leaves an imprint etched upon my mind
And realise it’s just a matter of time
Before it slowly slips away

So I think I’ll just take a ride
Out into the countryside 
Just need to clear the mind
And get me a little bit of fresh air

Can ya hear the calling from way on high
Listen closely now and you can hear em say

Come on and shake it
Come on and shake it
Shake your life on up a bit

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

Oh yea
Oh yea

I’ve got my work cut out with you
Your fitted shirts, and your patent leather shoes
A choice of cars to drop your kids at school
You’ve got it
I want it too
 
I’ll find you drinking at the bar
You’ll tell me all about your personal par
Then late at night I’ll walk you home, sweet home
You’ve got it
I want that too

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it now

We’ll go inside for one last drink
I’ll fix your nightcap while you take a leak
And when you wake up you’ll be six feet deep
You had it
I’ve got it now

You thought the world belonged to you
Well now you know it was yours to lose
I was just waiting in the wings out there
You had it
I’ve got it now
 
You shouldn’t feel too bad about yourself
I quite admire your nerve
If I had been the one who had it all
I’m sure, you would have got to me first

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it 
I won it
You lost it
I’ve got it now

And when you curse the day we met back then
And think about your life
Console yourself with this one last thought
It’s me, that’s sleeping with your wife

You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it

You've got it, I want it

Had to use one of my favorite melodies King Kong by Frank Zappa one day, this is one result...

noxpox - straight beat for king kong

He doesn't realize that he is alone.
Repeating his daily life is all he does.
He has family and friends of course, 
but no one really understands him.

We're quietly spending our remaining days.
Like the people in Edward Hopper's paintings.

She doesn't consider herself to be mediocre.
Neither fashion nor luxury is making her happy.
She was beautiful and rich in her own way, 
but those things are almost gone now.

We're silently spending our remaining days.
Like the people in Edward Hopper's paintings.

The world is waiting for us to disappear
from this town and turn it into a beautiful ruin.

I'm not even sure where I am right now.
In the mirror, there's an old stranger.
I'm worried about the future, 
but I'm probably too old to make any changes.

We're meekly spending our remaining days.
Like the people in Edward Hopper's paintings.

Martin Kula - album

A meadow full of love (feat. Nothing’s Existing Thought)

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

You’re a joke, but I bet you already know that – Can’t control who you are on the inside – Moody shadow covering happiness - Drowning out your motives and poisoning society – Society – Like pawns in a chess game, we wait our turn – To draw conclusions through your pretend concern – Focused only on yourself and dragging others into your miserable existence – Existence – I’ll fight back with unusual persistence

Chorus:
Never going back, never giving in
You move forward and we all sit (repeat)
We all sit (repeat chorus)

Jealous of what you deny yourself – Continually dragging us down so we feel like you – Like you – 
You’re a joke, but I bet you already know that…
