I was honoured to be given the OK to add some accompanying instrumentation to a lovely song written & performed by Takken Wish (https://soundcloud.com/takken-wish). The lyrics crept up on me as I was listening to the song for musical ideas; it reminds me of a similar long lost old friend from my younger years who drifted off to somewhere...

I'm playing the upright bass, organ, and cello here (all on keys), and we've each uploaded a slightly different version of the cello part. Check out Takken's version, which has a more layered cello arrangement:

An earlier, alternate take with no additional accompaniment:

Thanks so much Takken for writing this touching song, and letting me sprinkle on my own touches!

Seasons Make Sense (collaboration with Takken Wish)

A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Equanimity And Loss

Jumping Fish Competition


Our eyes, they meet, held long and strong.
A Silent question, right or wrong ?

Hearts beat fast, lips almost near…
…Fear !

Closer, warmth as touched by a sunbeam.
...is this a dream ?

Time, space, reality trancend.
feels like the deep blue sea, as we ascend.

Ignited the inner glow!
We melt as one soul...


Time, space, reality trancend.
feels like the deep blue sea, as we ascend.

Is this a dream ?

Is this a dream   ? - Valentino

Well, I'm bound to doubt my journey.
I've resisted and obeyed.
I've caught no sound yet of my yearnin'.
My existence is opaque.
Yet my feet continually carry
me into the future that just keeps on burying me. 

I falsify my glory.
I've had no empty plates.
I've always taken offers sorely.
I'm tormented by my place.
Yet my feet continually carry
me into the future that just keeps on burying me.

The Wall of Silence ...The Wall of Lies...

If you stand there silently while the storm rages on the horizon,
If you stand there, saying nothing, while your fellow human beings are falling, being murdered, tortured, raped, imprisoned, poisoned, while the earth is burning, while all humanity is threatened and you continue to stand there, saying nothing and without doing anything!
What will you do when you are all alone and without hope in your bunker with your gold and your billions?

Le Mur du Silence... Le Mur des Mensonges...

Si vous restez là, silencieux, pendant que la tempête fait rage à l'horizon,
Si vous restez là, sans rien dire, pendant que vos semblables tombent, sont assassinés, torturés, violés, emprisonnés, empoisonnés, pendant que la terre brûle, pendant que toute l'humanité est menacée et que vous continuez à rester là, sans rien dire et sans rien faire !
Que ferez-vous lorsque vous serez tout seul et sans espoir dans votre bunker avec votre or et vos milliards ?

Lyrics 

Drip drop by drip drop
You’re filling this hollow heart 

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart

Hand over my eyes
I can't even look
You finish these pages in this empty book

Hand over my eyes
I can't even look
You finish these pages in this empty book

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Pages in this empty book

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart

I hear people say
I'm a fallen boy - a falling boy
But they don't know what you're doing
To make this all ok

Finish these pages in this empty book

Hollow Heart

[Verse]
Le courant de l'eau chante tout bas
Il remue chaque caillou ici et là
Sa voix douce et légère dans le vent
Écoutez-le doucement s'en allant

[Verse]
Dans les prés il murmure son refrain
Dans les bois il raconte son chemin
L'eau qui court ne s'arrête jamais
Toujours libre de tracer sa voie

[Chorus]
L'entendez-vous l'entendez-vous
Le courant nous parle tout bas
L'entendez-vous l'entendez-vous
Sa mélodie danse sous nos pas

[Verse]
Les rivières s'unissent et se séparent
Elles jouent leur symphonie quelque part
Chaque goutte a son histoire à conter
Ses rêves ses secrets à partager

[Bridge]
Dans la nature tout résonne tout chante
L'eau la terre et le vent s'enchantent
Un concert éternel qui ne finit pas
Dans chaque coin chaque recoin là-bas

[Chorus]
L'entendez-vous l'entendez-vous
Le courant nous parle tout bas
L'entendez-vous l'entendez-vous
Sa mélodie danse sous nos pas

• it Bit me

oh, it bit me. 

the pain endured
the shame
the hurt

and now I can't feel the pain and 
life's important as a bug

so tell me what do I do when I do what I do
convince me what I do is how I do what I do
the wincing from blue and bruised back to invincible
it bit me and it's teeth have sunk into

eyes and teeth, you scream, you see
the beastly beast

life is a monster, you can believe it
it will sink it's teeth into you
life's a tornado, wind out to weaken
it can most surely destroy you

life is a monster, oh how it bleeds you
deadened by what you've done to it
you can't escape it, oh how it finds you
once found, it will corner you - you're bit!

the pain endured
the shame
the hurt

Life Malfunkshunned.

so tell me what do I do when I do what I do
convince me what I do is how I do what I do
the wincing from blue and bruised back to invincible
it bit me and it's teeth have sunk into

life is a monster, you can believe it
it will sink it's teeth into you
life's a tornado, wind out to weaken
it can most surely destroy you

life is a monster, oh how it bleeds you
deadened by what you've done to it
you can't escape it, oh how it finds you
once found, it will corner you - you're bit!
