TU AUSENCIA  /  YOUR ABSENCE

(Tu ausencia, tu ausencia…)  /  (Your absence, your absence...)

Hoy que la noche es oscura,  /  Today that the night is dark,
(y estridente)  /  (and strident)
hoy que la noche es brumosa,  /  today that the night is foggy,
hoy que la luna se oculta,  /  today that the moon is hidden,
(largamente)  /  (for long)
la soledad es odiosa.  /  loneliness is hateful.

Hoy que he roto la sonrisa,  /  Today that I broke my smile,
(del pasado)  /  (from the past)
hoy me grita la conciencia  /  today my conscience screams
para acrecentar la prisa,  /  to increase the hurry,
(demasiado)  /  (too much)
careciendo tu presencia.  /  lacking your presence.

El frío de esta noche que ya no es clara,  /  The cold of this night that is no longer clear,
¡el frío de esta noche me llueve tanto!  /  the cold of this night rains on me so much!
y estas gotas que ruedan por mi cara,  /  and these drops that roll down my face,
¿son gotas de lluvia, o son de llanto?  /  are they raindrops, or because of crying?
(¿Son gotas…)  /  (Are they drops...)

Un pasivo gris inunda mi mente,  /  A passive grayness floods my mind,
un gris silencioso que empaña el cielo,  /  a silent grey that steams the sky,
y estos tonos muertos que nadie vierte,  /  and these dead tones that no one pours,
¿son de la tormenta, o por mi duelo?  /  are they from the storm, or from my mourning?

La gélida oscuridad que me viene  /  The cold darkness that comes to me
es la nube fatal de mi existencia,  /  is the fatal cloud of my existence,
pero el frío afilado que me hiere  /  but the sharp cold that hurts me
¿es frío por la noche, o por tu ausencia?  /  is it cold of night, or because of your absence?
(¿Es frío…)   /  (Is it cold...)

Extremely grateful to have received the opportunity of some film mentoring via the Universal Hall Promotions 'In the Spotlight' professional mentoring programme. 

I wanted to make a music video, so I re-recorded the vocals from my 2021 version of this song to use as a soundtrack and this is the result - still a home recording. You can view the video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/AnXY-S6ama4

TRAiN
Train, it's the way to go
Gets you there, without driving woe
Read a book, or watch the world glide by
Train, it's the way to go
Don't get stuck in no traffic jam
It's so easy, to go with the flow
Be wild, with your spare time
Have a little buffet, say a little rhyme

I'll tell you why you should take the train
It's going to save you hours of pain
Why get there grumpy, tired and bored
Why not snooze on the go?

Train, it's the way to see
Parts of the country, that you've never been to 
Find a map, and pick a place to see today
Train's the way to go
Travel express, or station to station more slowly
Night or day, a friendly guard is there
To smooth your way

Train it's the way to go
Gets you there with a happy glow
Why sit in that traffic jam pumping your hand on the horn?
Won't get you anywhere, except bored
Train, it's the place to be
For writing that essay
Or watching that show on TV
As the world passes by
Plug in your headphones, happy sigh

Choose train
Choose train
Choose train

Our first new song as Watchglass reunited. This started as a single idea that came to me through pondering another duo, Moon and Aries, who make music, separated by half a planet and yet not separate at all in their vision and shared passion. We hope you enjoy!  
PS Mark made a YouTube video for this one and we would love for you to stop by and let him know what you think. He's a quiet achiever but he's really proud of this and ought to be so.

It's not every day
It's not every lifetime
Something like this comes along
Hold it close
Feel it breathe
You have each other now.
She's come back to you.
There could be worse things
And better still to come.

A love in the heat of summer
But remember seasons change
In the cold of the winter
Feelings often fade away

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Memories of sailing
But clipped wings never fly… fly

When I awoke it was from a dream
A heavenly body floating over me
But the nightmare is in the waking
To a ghost that still speaks
Even though she never returns
There’s a fire that still burns

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
My memories of sailing
Clipped wings never fly…

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye… goodbye

How Deep Is The Sky

How Deep Is The Sky? (Paploviante Open Collab Free Download)

Gosh!  Over a year since I've posted a new song!  It’s been a rough few years, but for me, the past 6 months have been particularly hard.  

This song was written ages ago, but I wanted to record it, just to have a copy for myself.  It’s a one-take piano/singing thing, with flaws but a sense of the underlying feeling.  While I was producing it, it developed a life of its own.  I had thought I’d rock it up with quite a conventional sound, but the drums and bass insisted on having their own unique flavours – ribbons of synth.  Aah well, here it is, a bit rough around the edges but at least I can feel that I am making music again...  thanks so much for listening!

Rock it…

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

Seems everyone’s dancing to light, 
there’s a song we all hear in the night
With the moon wide and high static spitting the sky
seems everyone’s dancing to light
Some red and some yellow some white
seems everyone dances to light

And the dust, it comes muddy your veins
dreary life dull and moaning in pain
Circuits broken and lost and you can’t think to cry
lost the code lost the path and can’t understand why
and the meaningless days and interminable nights
when there’s nowhere to fly and the wings lost their flight
found the feathers all crushed on the floor
trampled broken, don’t work any more

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

But somehow the cycle moves through,
the winds of change whisper and call
some beat in your brain lets the sleep patterns change
to the pulse of the blood and the beat of the brain
and awaken arise to the life-song refrain

O rock it, come rock baby roll
there’s a tide rolling green through my soul
Somewhere faint I remember the person I am
Rock it, come baby rock baby roll

Rock it...

this is an old lyric with a new coat,  a quickie on the 4 track tape..........cheers for the listen


i'm standing at the station a fifty in my hand
note on the table explaining my plans
aint got no number no forward address
i won't be home, to clean up no mess
thats all i am
your ball and chain

take what you can, what's left for me
making my days, misery
you know you're the reason i'm turning away
i've told you before, you don't hear what i say
thats all i am
your ball and chain

got to get away, gotta wipe my slate clean
stepping out of a nightmare and into a dream
gotta keep on moving, follow the sun
if i seen you again, i don't know what i woulda done
thats all i am
your ball and chain

Ball & Chain

From the album Schopenhauer's Apprentice

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you speak your words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

when you lie to me 
I can't believe
when you speak those words to me

when you lie to me
I can't believe
when you say you love me

Schopenhauer's Apprentice

Cry Wolf

Aside from musical satisfaction and $$$ - the motivations for artists to keeping going can be an addiction to the love from the audience.

SCREAMING AND THROWING UNDIES

Take my time with plug-ins
Connection satisfaction
Waving arms like a summons
Pointy introductions
And soon I’m ridin’ minor sevenths
Endorphins in my canal
I’m like a godly presence
As music funks it’s way around

But the pessimist inside – says shoot me your lovin’ arrows
Cause the deficit is – oh - the needing of something so shallow
Gimme screaming and throwing undies (love me love me love me)
Gimme screaming and throwing undies

Career or labour of love
Try and define it
Eyeing up those at the front
Is anyone buyin’ it
I’m phrasing out the words I wrote
Looking for misty eyes 
Reaching for a soulful note
Into clover wrap me tight 

Nature’s opium ride
Musicality
Bathing up here in spotlight
Dopamine alchemy                             Yeah I’m riding . . .

Working freelance as the marketing manager for Universal Hall Promotions in Findhorn l was already immersed in live music, but in 2021 I discovered a passion for writing and performing my own songs. Since then I have taught herself to play tenor guitar and shruti box, incorporating these and looped samples to create multi-layered soundtracks for my lyrics. I can often be found out and about with my Zoom recorder, capturing moments in nature to weave into my songwriting.
