Thank you for listening , liking and reposting !

From Higher Ground

It's all about constant change, both in life and in music. As for the music, the original goal was to make use of panning to illustrate the "walking on by" at the beginning and end of the song. The second phase was creating a fuller sound without having various parts drowned out, or in some way, channel my inner Phil Spector.

The finale is the sound of footsteps walking by and then the shutting of the door as the song ends. End of a relationship. End of the song.

Maybe the best relationship advise I can give is: if you love someone, set them free ... don't quote me, quote Sting. :-) This is sort of my "resigned to my fate" version. I've been on both sides of that fence. I've walked away knowing it wasn't going to work out (long term). Sadly, I've been on the other side knowing the pain of love lost. But in the end, I didn't really lose anything that was mine to lose. I could go on and talk about how a true love is neither possessive nor jealous but hopefully, the song makes that point clear.

Just Walk On By
----------------------
Just walk -- walk on by
No need to tell me another lie
Keep it to yourself (I tell you)
Just walk on by ...

That's what I said -- keep on walking
You don't need to do any more talking
What you say just don't matter
Just walk on by ...

[Solo]

You say that you love me, ain't that right?
So where were you all last night?
He he! That really don't matter
Just walk on by ...

So many years, I've been holding on
Now you don't want to say: "So long."
Well, you know I hate long good byes, so
Just walk on by ...

[final solo]

[footsteps as she leaves and shuts the door
thus closure to the song and the relationship]

... you know I hate long good byes.

Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Lamentations (HoboCop & Cosmic Keanu)

This is the 8th track in me and @texmex-shaman Stephen's "Texas Tea" playlist! I think this one has a little bit of a different flavor to it, there is an exotic feel to the acoustic guitar that really just completes the song in my opinion. He also contributed two other guitar parts which are a bit more in the background but also really help bring the piece to life. Check out our full playlist of collaborations here... working our way up to a full album soon: https://soundcloud.com/texmex-shaman/sets/texas-tea-sea

Mindless - w/ TexMex Shaman

Dear friends, once upon a time there was an opposition politician in a great and powerful country. After surviving a very severe poisoning, he was put in miserable prisons and later died under mysterious circumstances - It hurts!!

Lyrics in English

A Poor Man

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear when someone has died
when he fought for something that is good
he had striven for the freedom of his people

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I see that children in the world are suffering badly
when they were hit by bombs in their home
there they would have been safe from wicked men

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear people are starving to death
when there is so much money in this world
it would be very good if we can share everything we have

What is it that hurts so much?
which hurts so much - in me
that's when I hear tyrants torment their people
they have thrown many people in a cage
and they have murdered several of those who oppose themselves


Lyrics in Swedish

 En Stackars Man

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör när någon människa har dött
när han stridit för något som är gott
han hade strävat efter friheten för sitt folk

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag ser att barn i världen lider svårt
när de träffats av bomber i sitt hem
där skulle de ha varit trygga från elaka män

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att människor svälter ihjäl
när det finns så mycket pengar i denna värld
det hade varit väldigt bra om vi kan dela på allt vi har

Vad är det som gör så ont
som gör så ont - i mig
det är när jag hör att tyranner plågar sitt folk
de har kastat många människor i en bur
samt de har mördat flera av dom som opponerar sig

En Stackars Man - A Poor Man ( Lyrics in English in description below)

Je n'arrive à rien en ce moment, à ne finaliser aucun de mes derniers morceaux. J'ai juste réussi à remixer une de mes chansons de 2023 
PAROLES FRANCAISES
Au bout de ton âge
Qu’auras-tu appris ?
Tenter le voyage
 Ou rester ici ?

Au bout du voyage
Au bout de la vie
Quel autre rivage
 Vers quel paradis ?

Au bout de ton âge
 Qu’auras-tu appris ? 
A tous ces visages
 Auxquels tu souris

Sais-tu quel message
Tu leur confies ?
Amis de passage
 Amours de ma vie

Chien de bas-étage
Faussant compagnie
 Sur ton porte-bagages
T’emportes ta vie
En haut du branchage
 L’oiseau fait son nid

Moitié chat sauvage
 Moitié queue de souris
Ça tourne à l’orage
Chantons sous la pluie

Le livre d’images
 Est bientôt fini
L’ whisky est hors d’âge
 Et mon cœur aussi
Au bout de mon âge
Qu’aurai-je donc appris ?

A Greenwich Village
Au cœur de Paris

S’il faut un message
Je te le confie
Ouvre toutes les cages
 Pour vivre ta vie
Laisse passer l’orage
Attends l’éclaircie

Moitié chat sauvage
 Moitié queue de souris
 Au bout de mon âge
Qu’aurai-je donc appris ?

___________________________________________________
At the end of my age
What will you have learned?
Try the trip
 Or stay here?

At the end of the journey
At the end of the night
What other shore
 To which paradise?

At the end of your age
 What will you have learned? 
To all these faces
 At which you smile

Do you know what message
Do you entrust them with them?
Friends passing through
 Loves of my life

Low-floor dog
Fausting company
 Half wildcat
 Half mousetail

On your luggage rack
You take your life
At the top of the branch
 The bird makes its nest

It's turning into a storm
Singing in the Rain
The picture book
 Is soon over

Whisky is out of age
 And my heart too
At the end of my age
 So what would I have learned?  

In Greenwich Village
In the heart of Paris
Open all cages
 To live your life
