On a tous envie de partir

Papillon de nuit

If I could hold onto our dreams
If I could hold together the broken seams
2 a.m. and my friends have gone
I ‘ll walk away toward the edge of dawn

You’ve become everything you said you wouldn’t be
I think maybe it’s you ‘cause I know that it’s not me
I’m always wrong whenever we start to fight
I’ve tried so hard to love you, but I just can’t get it right
I’m not coming home tonight

If I could hear you laugh once again
If I could see you smile like you did then
2 a.m. and our friends had gone
We held each other ‘til the break of dawn

You’ve become everything you said you wouldn’t be
I think maybe it’s you ‘cause I know that it’s not me
I’m always wrong whenever we start to fight
I’ve tried so hard to love you, but I just can’t get it right
I’m not coming home tonight

There’ll be no
Please come back
Please come back

You’ve become everything you said you wouldn’t be
I think maybe it’s you ‘cause I know that it’s not me
I’m always wrong whenever we start to fight
I’ve tried so hard to love you, but I just can’t get it right
I’m not coming home tonight

Sinkhole

V1
Been wandering around the high ground
While wondering about the low ground 
It’s been so long I’ve forgotten why
Searching for a clue to where I’m bound 

Ch
Now I’m floundering about in a sinkhole  
Reckon my middle ground fell through
Why are those people staring down at me
Could it be they simply enjoy the view

V2
I once thought every road went somewhere 
I spent too long trying to tell my own fortune 
Wasted time trying to separate needing from wanting 
It was easy to turn reality into distortion

SOLO

Bridge
I acted like doing nothing was something
Another recipe for failure  in the making

Sinkhole

I’ve got some Dylan
Some Velvet Underground
“Chelsea Girls”
On this mixtape I found
Ribbon on a reel 
My life in sound
Yeah ribbon on a reel
My life in sound

I’ve got some Bowie
From the old “Low” days
The thin white lines
And the foggy haze
The songs get played
Then fade away
Yeah the songs get played
Then fade away

I’ve got some Patti
Singing “Dream Of Life”
She’s howling out dreams
Into the deep dark night
It feels so alive
So it’s alright
Yeah it feels so alive
So it’s alright

I’ve got some Leonard
On this old Walk Man
He comes up after Joni
“So Long Marianne”
Such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man
Yeah such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man

Cause that’s my life 
This mixtape I found
Yeah that’s my life 
My replay life in sound
Cause that’s my life 
This mixtape I found
Yeah that’s my life 
My replay life in sound

MIXTAPE (with Joliz)

Dawn

All acoustic Pop-Folk featuring acoustic steel string acoustic 6-stgring on lead.

Old Memories

Circa the late 1960's.
Place, the jazz lounge at the Holiday Inn
Band, Mario and His Mystical Merry Music Makers

I did this just for the fun of it.

I am playing my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Tenor Sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks using my sound sources.

Grooving at the Holiday Inn

A teenager's first love just broke up with them. They mope around until lovesick blue fades away and they find another love of their life.

The harp is from a MIDI harp loop.
The piano is from EZKeys2
The strings are from Band-in-a-Box
All are using my sound sources.
Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the Swam violin and Bassoon.


Lovesick Blue

The Emperor has died. As the Royal and flamboyant funeral march goes through the streets of his kingdom his citizens mourning his death.  

I am way outside my comfort zone on this one.

Band-in-a-Box is supplying the drum, background strings and guitar tracks.  I am playing everything else.

I'm Not Coming Home Tonight
