I like these alternating chords and textures.

.. and what will our centurions say when all the colors fade to gray where they used to run wild and free?
Put a fence around it.
You can charge admission then. 
If we raze it they will come. It's not "if" but "when".
And, all the money makers say God's beauty shouldn't be free.
Some see our perfect world: others opportunity.
Put a fence around it.

Put A Fence Around It

Ye Jacobites By Name
Robert Burns 1759 - 1796

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear.

What is right, and what is wrong, by the law, by the law?
What is right and what is wrong by the law?
What is right, and what is wrong?
A short sword, and a long,
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw.

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet th' assassin's knife,
Or hunt a parent's life, wi' bloody war?

Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
Then let your schemes alone in the state.
So let your schemes alone,
Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man undone, to his fate, to his fate.
And leave a man undone, to his fate.

Ye Jacobites By Name

This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope released May 30, 2022 features the Grand Design Spiral, NGC 3631, located approximately 53 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major. The “arms” of grand design spirals appear to wind around and into the galaxy’s nucleus.  A grand design galaxy’s spiral arms stretch clearly across the galaxy through many radians and may be seen over a considerable proportion of the galaxy’s radius.  Close inspection of the grand spiral arms reveals dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions along the inner part of the spiral arms. 
For strings, flutes, celesta, field recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.

Skin in the game 

Sometimes 
You gotta put a little 
Skin in the game, baby
Sometimes it hurts to win
And If you can’t sing with the angels 
Then howl with the wolves 
For man is a wolf to man 

And when the sun don’t shine as bright 
And the stars start falling down at night
I’ll be looking for you in the moonlight 
Looking for you in the moonlight 

You gotta put a little 
Skin in the game, baby
Sometimes it hurts to win 
From rounding first to stealing home
Can’t conquer thirst by breaking bones 
And if you can’t sing with the angels 
Then howl with the wolves 
For man is a wolf to man

And when the sun don’t shine as bright
And the stars start falling down at night
I’ll be looking for you in the moonlight 
Looking for you in the moonlight

■概要(Overview)
Happy New Year !
2023年です。月日が経つのが年々早くなっていきます。

脳のトレーニングとして即興で思い浮かんだ歌詞で歌いました。
「Dancing  Baby」と「Happy New Year」以外の言葉が出てこなくて困りました。

ソフトウェアサンプラー「TX16Wx」を少し使いました。
ちょっとまだ荒っぽいですが、これから慣れていきたいと思います。

話が長くなりました。
今年も何卒よろしくお願いいたします！

Happy New Year!
It's 2023. Time goes by faster and faster year by year.

I sang with lyrics that came to my mind improvised as brain training.
I had trouble coming up with words other than "Dancing Baby" and "Happy New Year." 

I used the software sampler "TX16Wx" a little.
It's still a little rough, but I'd like to get used to it.

The story has become long.
Thank you for your kind support this year!

A La SK1 Rosa (Demo 2016, Colombia)

Early in this new century, an increasing number of (theretofore relatively passive) Americans began to grow leery of the "progress" they were seeing in society.  To them, it felt not like progress, but more an erosion, or even a distortion - specifically, disortion in society's institutions: education, entertainment, government, business, media, and just culture in general.  In 2016, these frustrated Americans managed to elect a president who spoke to their concerns. 

Contrary to media narrative, the vast majority of the new president's supporters were (and are) fully aware of his faults, but they had learned through past failures that this media machine would crush any ordinary candidate, or president.

In this song, written in the fall of 2020, I try to make a case, not for the enigma / phenomenon that is our most recent past US president, but for the people who had finally learned that trying to please or appease wasn't working.  Somebody needed to come in and break things.
