Travelling with Ghosts

Yesterday you told me that you‘ll leave our home today 
I think it’s okay cause you’re eighteen now anyway

It seems to me like someone pushed fast-forward on my tape
Keep holding back the memories in my head so they won't escape

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when you‘re old and grey like your father is by now
Most likely you will think of me and drop a line somehow

Farewell my son, be safe when travelling with ghosts
They like to whisper in your ear, the things you fear the most

And when the time has come for you to meet your dad again
We‘ll be sitting on our cloud together, smiling now and then 

Happy birthday David!



Thanks a million for pre-listening: Michele, Gary, Judith and Brenda!

lyrics:

the devil in
the gears and wires of my grandad's GMC
he's been waiting to get better to use it
to drive on the open road
he remembers the grey smoke from the green fog trucks
he would breathe in the DDT and let it seep into his skin
he'll see the insects outside again tomorrow, but it doesn't bother him
at the historical museum the engine he designed lays out for everyone to see
a great window to the street outside hovers over
the machine lays still as the trucks using it pass by
he isn't mentioned anywhere, but it doesn't bother him
i wonder if any of it would bother him
i will remember him as he remembered his grandfather and his grandfather remembered his grandfather
i still see his car leaving the driveway sometimes and think to myself
he really did get better

Lyrics:

REACTION
I don't like what I see all around
Certain projects are beyond the bound
Sometimes I wish I could come back a bit
in the wheel of time.

I try to find a why
The dehumanization involves you and I
An artificial world full of droning idols
makes me no so quiet.

I can't believe the way we live
A desert in the heart without relief
They're going on, the nous is gone
A crowd of automatons with no real bonds
This makes me cry, this makes me try.

Oh...What to do?
What's going on?
Reaction!
Oh...Me and you
Oh...Come on!
Reaction!

Certain people must stay down to earth
They can't decide your life and death
We gotta get strong, holding on
as much as possible.

I can't believe the way we live
A desert in the heart without relief
They're going on, the nous is gone
A crowd of automatons with no real bonds
This makes me cry, this makes me try.

Oh...What to do?
What's going on?
Reaction!
Oh...Me and you
Oh...Come on!
Reaction!

REACTION

Hey…. Did this song go in so many directions until this final recording. It started as an electric slide song, then a mandolin song, and finally as an acoustic guitar/recorder song. You know I laugh every time I play recorder. Just imagine a rough and scrappy, wild old man creating such a thing. Hahahahaha. Anyway, there are a lot of crows here. When I was working on the slide version, I heard them cawing outside as they flew by. (I scrapped my impromptu birdcall crowing on this, no one needs to hear that, not even the crows.) Lyrically the song has 2 distinct moods with some vocal transitioning. And guess what folks: As a novice singer, I can finally vibrato my voice… some more shenanigans you’ll have to put up with. Back to the crows. In town, we have a huge flock (murder) of town crows. Hundreds. They sure love fast food, and hanging out by the high school where tasty, tossed tidbits can be had. They are organized too, as if in an air force, as they are mostly wary of us humans… Finally, happy holidays to all who celebrate, and happy times to everyone else. Hope you enjoy this one. I sure did. Mark

Pink Moon (lyrics)

Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon
Yes, a pink moon

River Man (Lyrics)

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves

Said she hadn’t heard the news
Hadn’t had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes

Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn’t sure

For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more

Gonna to see the river man
Gonna to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don’t suppose
It’s meant for me

FRAGILE ANGELS

Another old song just remixed, with vocal work and the addition of electronic strings.

ENG / ITA Lyrics

Go that way
and then further that way
maybe you'll see each other again
if the time comes
for the usual formalities

leave him in these dark avenues
don't let him have an extra drop
dirty water stagnates
in pure brains

Just go over there
in that direction
get as far away as you can
from his words
and while you run and distract yourself a little
you meet the right man down the street
in a moment his heart catches fire
and you start to feel nostalgic


vai pure di là
e dopo oltre di là
vi rivedrete forse
se verrà il momento
per le solite formalità

lascialo pure in questi viali scuri
non concedergli una goccia in più
ristagna l'acqua sporca
nei cervelli puri

vai pure di là
in quella direzione
allontanati più che puoi
dalle sue parole
e mentre corri e ti distrai un poco
incontri l'uomo giusto proprio nella via
in un momento il suo cuore prende fuoco
e tu cominci ad avere nostalgia

Separazione (The Detachment) *

A re mix of an old recording... I felt it had a 70's sound and doubt it's ever gonna go much more than this so... enjoy a bit of 70's

A bit closer to the edge

This song reminds me of the haunted house at Disneyland where the candelabras float up and down the hallways. Here is a video made for the song. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUJgj6MZGy4


We can’t help but run away
When cornered against our will
Flagrant fouls of innocence
Always try to ride the fence
Waiting out the calls
While you are left in haunted halls

 They battered us down
They winched us away

Hold you down for 
Counted out forever more 

 You can count on me for
that will be the time when we will 
show the world what we’ve found  
 that will be the time when we will 
show the world what we’ve found

Haunted Halls

Un nouveau mix pour cette chanson de 2023, qui reste un hymne à la liberté pour toutes les femmes dans le monde, à l'image du courage extraordinaire dont font preuve les femmes  qui résistent en Iran, et pour leur Amie de cœur : l'Ukraine 
PAROLES
Femme iranienne cheveux au vent
Toi dont la vie même est l’enfant
 Les ayatollahs de poussière
 Ne comprennent rien à ton mystère

Laisse à l’enfant la balancelle
 Laisse à la vie le goût du sel
 A ceux qui s’aiment l’air du temps
Aux hirondelles le printemps

Femme iranienne cheveux au vent
Toi dont la vie même est l’enfant
 Les ayatollahs de poussière
 N’arriveront pas à te faire taire

Laisse à la femme la liberté
Laisse à l’Ukraine ses champs de blé

Laisse à l’amant la bagatelle
 Laisse à la vie le goût du sel
Pour ceux qui sèment les graines d’or
 L’amour est plus fort que la mort

Laisse à l’enfant la balancelle
 Laisse à la vie le goût du sel

le sel de la vie

Original by Tom Petty And The Heartbreaker year 1989

Runnin' down a dream

Delirious Night - The Cure (my cover)

JIM ANDERS _ Liebe

the worst song i have written ... garbage  from
start to finish ... enjoy

Yule know my Name

I jump out of bed every morning eager to continue the fight.
There’s so many wrongs in the world today.
I want to try make them right.
All those negative people out there, I pretend they don’t exist
The more times they tell me no, the harder I persist.

Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna focus on what’s important, I’m gonna stay above the fray.
Every obstacle I encounter, I’ll push it out of my way.
If anybody tries to stop me, like a steamroller I’ll run them flat.
Like a boxer facing a TKO I’m goanna to jump up from the mat

I’m gonna put one foot in front of the other.
I’m gonna keep right on going.
I’m trying as hard as I can.
I’ve got no intention of slowing.

I’m gonna to be as relentless as one of those zombies in the walking dead.
I’m not goanna let any negative thoughts creep into my head.

I’m gonna make up for lost time.
I’m gonna squeeze the most out of every day.
And if I head down the wrong path,
I’ll turn around and find a better way.

All those sacrifices I’ve been making.
Its goanna be worth the time I spent.
I’m goanna flap my wings as hard as I can.
I’ll continue my ascent.
They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
And if I hit a rough patch I’ll continue to push on

Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna unlock the door to my cage and set myself free.
