What Makes Us Tick

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

While we wait for BARDS: Of The Shimmering Seraphs to finish physical production, in the meantime we are forging ahead with a new crop of songs for the next album. The next album will serve as a continuation of the oracle deck concept, featuring songs about "objects" - the first of which be this little song about the magical horn of the elusive and beautiful Aardvark Girl. It is also about a recently discovered strange dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of our solar system.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà  was discovered on 19 Oct 2007 at the Palomar observatory in California, at 9:09 UT. Gkunhomdima is a member of the extended scattered disc and is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). Its orbit is inclined 23° off the ecliptic and is quite elliptical. It was knocked out of a normal orbit early in the history of the solar system, probably as Neptune migrated outward to its current position, which gives the high  inclination of Gkunhomdima’s orbit. However, there is no known orbital resonance with any other planetary body, except for its binary companion. Its ‘moon’, or secondary is called G!o’e !Hu (pronounced GOH ay KOO). Goeku means ‘horn’, or Oryx horn. And that takes us to a bit of mythology.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is also the Beautiful Aardvark Girl of Juǀʼhoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python girl or elephant girl; she defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gǁámígǁàmì spines [devil’s thorn plant], a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.

LYRICS:
-------------------------------
Aardvark girl, come trumpet your horn
Bellow your clarion call
Summon your dark and impenetrable cloud
And let your hailstones fall

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound

Scatter the poisoned thorns in their lane
May they tread upon those in their path
The stinging in their feet shall remind them
They’ll be dead before their next bath

Aardvark girl burrow down in your den
The night will be ending soon
The Oryx are gathered at the watering hole
And your face is in the moon

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound
We are just ants crawling around on the ground
We are just termites in a crumbling mound

The Oryx of the Aardvark Girl

Open the door in the mornin'
Just to check out the weather
what should you wear as you're ridin'
alone in your car...

Because if the sun isn't shining
bright in your mirror
that doesn't mean that it won't stop
raining this hard

And it's a 50-50 chance that
it'll come out tomorrow
Cause tomorrow's just a roll of the dice
tonight...

Gettin' home after drivin'
through the city in rush hour
toss the keep on the table
and hang up your coat

And she pulls up just after 
you walk in the house 
How was your day what ya thinking
we should eat tonight?

(x2) And it's a 50-50 chance that
you're gettin' lucky
cause tonight is just a roll of the dice, 

alright...

Now we can breath in together
and exhale slowly
we're gonna go home tomorrow
win or lose

But we both knew that no matter
just keep on fighting
and we pick up each other
when we are down

(x2) And it's a 50 - 50 life that
we are living 
and the only way to get through alive

is fight...

guitar solo

And as we let go of this whole 
idea that we have 
Gettin' ahead of the better
half of the town

We should remember to focus
on what is important
So when you get to the end you
don't have any regrets

The 50 - 50

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Self-doubt is a killer. Sometimes you just have to drown out all the noise.

IT’S NOT OVER

It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
Did you think that it would never end
Did you lose your mind
Did you think that you were going blind
That maybe you might be one of a kind

It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
It’s all over
Maybe it’s time to try again
Maybe it’s time for a second glance
Maybe a small thing overlooked
And maybe maybe maybe you’re alone in your nook

Oh-oh
They tell you
Oh-oh
They yell ya
Oh-oh
They fell you
Oh-Oh
It’s hell ya
Oh-oh
They tell you
Oh-oh

They tell you
It’s all over
Tell you
It’s all over
They tell you
It’s all over
Tell you
It’s all over
You can see beyond the doubt
You can feel what’s right and what’s wrong
All this time and its not so bad
You’re all alone and you had it all figured out
It’s not over
It’s not over

It's Not Over

IT’S TIME FOR A BREAK
A WARM HAND-SHAKE
A KISS AND  MAYBE MORE

HAVE A PIECE OF CAKE
DON’T JUMP INTO THE LAKE
MAKE LOVE AND NOT WAR

so they said

THAT’S WHAT I BELIE-IEVE
THAT’S WHAT I GO FOR

A LAND OF A DREAM
WITH NO GOLD LIMOUSINE
BUT A MAGIC BEAN ON TOP 

A LAND WHERE IT SEEMS
TIME IS A TIME MACHINE
AND THE WEASEL GOES POP

THAT’S WHERE I BELONG
THAT’S WHERE I LONG FOR

IT’S TIME FOR A WALK
A PEACEFUL TALK
A POW WOW BY THE FIRE
IN A CIRCLE OF CHALK
LET’S GO UP IN SMOKE
BACK TO FLOWER POWER

THAT’S WHERE I AM HEADING TO
AND THEN TALK NO MORE

NO MORE TALK
LET’S HAVE A POW WOW
LET’S HAVE A POW WOW

POW WOW (Lyrics)

How far have i gone 
What is this road i’m on
That leads so far from home

Are you here with me now, 
Now that i need you, No, 
i lost you long ago

And I’m barely hanging on 
I need to find the way today
And darling, I miss you so
just give me a sign and lead the way

If it’s the last thing i do I’m coming home to you
back where i belong
I’ll find the way No matter what it takes
down this road so long
You don’t know what’s here till it's gone

In some other life, Or maybe a distant dream,
that i don’t quite recall
But I close my eyes, and i’m there it seems
where you and I had it all

The sound of the children play
And the dogs out in the yard  
The fragrant flowers bloom away
It all seems so near and yet so far

If It's The Last Thing I Do

Those recited by David are verses from one of the most famous poems and one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century (Eugenio Montale). They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The bones of cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
Many thanks to David (@david-dunhamuser589535203), who agreed to collaborate on this little creation, also adding his refined guitar phrasing. All the (usual) imperfections are mine.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
arid, lookin back, I shall see, with the terror
of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees houses hills
will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
with my secret, among the men who do not turn

---

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.

“This Road”

Dirt, gravel and bricks
Soft shoulders, speed bumps 
and try to avoid the ditch

I head out with arms wide open
I don’t know what could happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

I look up
I check both ways
A little fear but not enough to stop me 
From this trip I am destined 
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding
Don’t know the way This road is leading me
But today’s the today 
I start breathing

Shady pathways and tricks
Cold shoulders, getting dumped 
and always in a tight pinch

I head out a little bit broken
I don’t know what could happen next
Lovers lie
I keep learning to try expanding 
out from the inside

Don’t give up
Look to new day
Have no fear
It’s not enough to stop me 
On this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding

Don’t know the way this road is leading
Today’s the day I start breathing

SOLO

I’m still standing arms wide open
I don’t know still what can happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

Still looking up 
Things going my way
Have no fear
There is nothing to stop me 
In this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way almost succeeding
Don’t know the way this road is leading me 
Today is the today 
I start breathing

In Darkness Let Me Dwell

This is an original country song that speaks to those that are far from their loved one, unable to be with them but imagining if only...they could be together. Longing for the time when they can be with each other once again.

We are very happy to once again have the wonderful pedal steel talents of Dakota Holden contribute so beautifully to this track.

Lyrics: "If You Were Here" by Daniels & Durgy

The sun came up, despite the clouds, It was enough, despite the doubts 
To thank the Lord, for one more day, To feel the freedom come my way

And wonder where you are and how, You’re doing at this moment now
To let my heart let go of fear, Imagining if you were here

If you were here, If you were here
All these dreams that we both have would become real,
I would hold onto forever, stop the hands of time together
Kiss you gently as the world disappears…If you, if you were here..

The smile on which, I so rely, A warmth so rich, I can’t deny
The touch that penetrates my soul, How much the distance takes its toll

But I take comfort in the past, That memories are not the last
That time will only make more clear, Just what would be if you were here

(chorus)

If you were here could I contain, The need for you, like sun and rain
Like wind that parts the maple leaves, As waves breathe life into the seas

If you were here there is no doubt, I’d lay a finger on your mouth
And show you as I held you near, What I would do if you were here 

I loved you then, I love you still, There is a void no one can fill, 
The only one, is always you, And no else will ever do.  
It's always been you, always will, Be you and me, forever till
The sun & stars do not appear, To light up like, if you were here

(chorus)

If You Were Here

Lyrics:

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought it would last forever

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you..

Na na na....

So let us enjoy today
With lots of love both ways
From early morning to the night
With tomorrow out of sight

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought this would last forever

All we have is right now
Can't promise anything more
Right now I am truly yours
Thats all I can say for sure

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you....

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free
