Reunion

Somewhat of an undemocratic approach to saving democracy, don't you think?
******************* 
For this one, I rounded up my fantasy band, the Famous Texas Men Of Note, to perform at the imaginary Seven Sisters Dance Hall, some 40 miles west of Austin, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  The crowd wasn’t huge that night, but it was plenty raucous.  Needless to say, we brought the house down.  We always do.

LYRICS
Finally bagged the prize,
Event commemorated with a photograph,
A delightful list of crimes,
Got ‘em prancin’ with the lawyers down the primrose path,
The scribes down in the court,
Breathlessly report,
With a glee they can’t contain,

Oh they’re giddy….

Giddy like the rats that swarm the sewage slag,
Giddy like the vultures, feasting on the rotted culture,
That has spawned them from its womb,
And they tell us all how grateful we should be,
Cause they’re doing it to save democracy.
 
Yeah all fortitude & grit,
Our protectors wouldn’t quit,
On this noble quest,
There would be no rest,
Staged sudden raids, drew dossiers,
Tried Russian links, threw kitchen sinks,
To cage the dreaded pest,
Damn the proper form,
They’ve snared Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,

And now they’re giddy…..

Giddy like the buzzards circling o’er their prey,
Giddy like the varmints, chewing on the hated target,
While the judges hold him still,
Giddy like the frantic hawks, flailing with their shrilly squawks,
The fear they just can’t kill,
Damn the coming storm,
Now they’ve booked Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,
Hey, the law may be applied unequally,
But it’s the only way to save democracy.

I beg you Lovely Lady, turn your head away,
Away from the shame, away from the pain,
America, America, how did we let it get this far?
We are your sons, what have we done?
What have we done……….

Ah but giddy doesn’t last, when the vengeance & the wrath,
Shred the piers that bear the load,
No it won’t be so hysterical, when even Heaven’s miracle,
Can’t keep our father’s code, 

Oh but decision day is nigh, & the beast is still alive,
And far too many still believe…..

So arrest the Monster!...show it on TV,
Silence him & anyone who won’t concede,
There’s no time for constitutionality,
When the mission is to save democracy.

Giddy (now with lyrics)

Saw you walking last week
Down a stale local street
And the colours, they all fade away,
As we step through this dance of dissolving

My friend is beginning to melt
All her edges beginning to fade
All the lines on her face become cages
Tied up with all the nooses she has laid

I called out, but she can’t hear through the changes
All the ways that she has chosen now to be
Pulled aside the warp and weft, a little bit bereft
Like a fleeting streetlight trembling out to sea

Saw you walking last week
Down a stale local street
And the colours, they all fade away,
As we step through this dance of dissolving 

A tangle of matchsticks combs her hair
Just a woman who is never really there,
In a melting dream of someone, watch the edges drift apart
All out to sea…


*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *
Written sung made and played by Emma

All out to sea...

It's always a pleasure and an honor to add to David's beautiful guitar compositions. This is (for me) a somewhat melancholy glance back at summer and a looking forward to what is to come: the crackle of a woodfire and the different ways the sunlight plays on the floors during the autumn season. I love the changing of the seasons and I thank my Creator for this pleasure.

Bittersweet Goodbye: David Dunham & Debra Buesking

This is a recording of a spontaneous living room jam with my good friend Hilario when he and his wife visited us at home in Amsterdam in 2016. I had forgotten the recording but my friend Hilario found it somewhere on the shelf. This was the first time we played live together instead of long distance collabs. 
After a little editing here is the track with the memory of this wonderful visit of my friends.

The title comes from the conclusion we came to when we noticed that neither of us could see well without glasses anymore :)

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
In grauer Stadt verloren
Die Seele schwer wie Stein 
(schwer wie Stein)
Als wär ich neu geboren
In Dunkelheit allein 
(ganz allein)

Doch dann kamst du zu mir 
(kam ich zu dir)
Mit Licht in deinen Händen 
(meinen Händen)
Zeigtest einen Weg von hier 
(einen Weg)
Die Einsamkeit zu beenden

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht 
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Die Ketten sind gebrochen
Die mich so lang gebunden 
(lang gebunden)
Was stumm blieb unausgesprochen
Hat endlich Worte gefunden 
(Worte gefunden)

Wo Mauern mich umgaben 
(Mauern um dich)
Seh ich nun neue Wege 
(neue Wege)
All die verschütteten Gaben 
(verschüttet)
Kommen wieder zum Leben

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht 
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Die Narben bleiben als Zeichen 
(als Zeichen der Zeit)
Der Weg war weit bis hier 
(so weit bis hier)
Doch sie werden verbleichen 
(verbleichen sanft)
Im Licht das ich spür

Du bist mein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht        
(Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht)
Hebst mich auf wenn ich gefallen 
(wenn du gefallen)
Hast den Glauben zurückgebracht 
(Glauben zurückgebracht)
Lässt dein "Ich bin da" erschallen 
(ich bin bei dir)

Und ich breite meine Flügel aus 
(Flügel aus)
Fliege dir entgegen 
(mir entgegen)
In ein neues Zuhause hinaus 
(neues Zuhause)
Unter deinem Segen

English translation:
Lost in the gray city
Soul as heavy as stone 
(as heavy as stone)
As if I was born again
In the dark alone 
(all alone)

But then you came to me 
(I came to you)
With light in your hands 
(my hands)
Showing a way out of here 
(a way)
To end the loneliness

You're my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
Picking me up when I've fallen 
(when you've fallen)
Bringing back the faith 
(bringing back faith)
Sounding your “I'm here” 
(I'm with you)

The chains are broken
That bound me for so long 
(tied me up for so long)
What remained unspoken
Has finally found words 
(found words)

Where walls surrounded me 
(walls around you)
I now see new paths 
(new paths)
All the buried gifts 
(buried)
Come to life again

You are my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
You pick me up when I fall 
(when you fall)
You have brought back faith 
(brought back faith)
You let your “I am there” resound 
(I am with you)

The scars remain as a sign 
(as a sign of the times)
It's been a long way to here 
(so far to here)
But they will fade 
(fade gently)
In the light that I feel

You are my beacon in the night 
(beacon in the night)
You pick me up when I've fallen 
(when you've fallen)
You've brought back the faith 
(faith returned)
Shouting your “I'm here” 
(I'm here)

And I spread my wings 
(wings out)
Flying towards you 
(Towards me)
Into a new home 
(New home)
Underneath your blessing

Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht

SON OF YUPPIE

A song that was particularly close to my heart to remix and especially to sing...So I tried to put my voice on this title that I love so much....And it is with immense joy that musical accomplice for almost 10 years....accompanied me on the piano.

The bottom line is that the older we get and the more we experience, the less certain we are about things we once thought we knew for sure.

So life has taught me that all I know is that I know nothing!

And I look with sadness and horror at the present state of the human world!

But - 'Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead, excessive grief the enemy to the living.'
