Paradox of Hope

Even a desert is cold at night.
Even a cyclone is calm inside.
Even two parallels meet one time.
More than a million points form a line.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

Even Schroedinger's cat's still alive,
if you don't look too closely inside.
Even a monkey can write "Faust II",
if it gives it an infinite try.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

Lyrics
Laying low the ghosts of old
Trails of dust and broken souls
There is no one left to lead the way

Crows fly overhead
Take back what you said
The web of lies is burning now
Idols falling down

Sacrifice a soul to Odin
Mix my blood with broken bones
There is no one left who wants to stay
I can always tell when your telling lies
Eyes betray you every time
Mistletoe and oak on judgement day

Be alone again
Be alone again
Be alone again

Every time you love it’s a sacrifice
Every choice you make is a shadow life
Placed on the altar of compromise

Every time you love it’s a sacrifice
Everywhere I look there is fading light
Distracted by what we’ve done
Will we even notice when winter comes

Be alone again
Be alone again
Be alone again

Odin

note: the title is a play on the term 'aubade' of which I promised something similar to my sweetheart. 

Babe, I love you more and more
with each passing day.
Babe, I want to hear
every word that you have to say. 

I want to know of your endeavors. 
I want to hear about your days.
I want to be with you forever.
Or, until nothing remains. 

Babe, you know I love you
each passing second of each passing day.

If I was a butterfly
I'd map the countries from on high.
If I was a butterfly
On every flower I'd stop by.

If I was a butterfly
I'd cross the ocean in the sky.
If I was a butterfly
I'd rest on sails to paint their white.

If I was a butterfly
A graceful dance would be my flight.
If I was a butterfly
The weight would fall and I’d feel light.

If I was a butterfly
A graceful dance would be my flight.
If I was a butterfly
The weight would fall and I’d feel light.

Passing Butterfly

An updated recording of a song that I posted as a demo a few years ago. It pays homage to some of the Rock & Rollers of the past. Songs referenced in the lyrics are:
Twist And Shout (Medley-Russell)
Glad All Over (Bennett-Tepper-Schroeder)
That's All Right (Mama) (Crudup)
Love Me Do (Lennon-McCartney)

Give Me Rock 'N' Roll

This original song praises the wonder of the Christmas season and calls for all mankind to savor the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ. It is a folk-based piece that incorporates various mideastern sounds in tribute to the origins of the Christmas story. We wish everyone all the blessings of the season for 2024 and beyond.

Lyrics:
The young winter beats on my window glass
The frost makes prisms of the sun
The dawn marks one year since Christmas last
Kinsmen & friends lost and won

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Evergreen boughs on the mantel lie
Mistletoe waits by the door
Neighbors all bundled, shall soon stop by
Then wassail and ale we will pour

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Christmas reveals all the years that have flown
And the child we all hold in our hearts
That quiets the tears from the seeds we have sown
And returns us to where it all starts

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold

Frankincense Myrrh and Gold

This is an original song that recounts a sort of secret childhood sanctuary that was a simple ravine behind my grandparents’ home on Rowan Street in Danbury Connecticut. It bottomed out in a grove of maple trees that provided a shady canopy for a lazy little brook that ran between Rowan Street homes and the old Wooster Cemetery. The area was dark and cool, the ground all around was a thick mud that my friends and I pretended was life threatening quicksand. Like most favorite play areas for kids in that time, it was nothing spectacular, if not downright uninviting, but it was unforgettable as I look back with this simple song. Another recording taken right off my iPhone with some added harmonies and a touch of harmonica.

Lyrics: Padanaram

Padanaram, lazy summer afternoon
Grandma calls me in too soon 
Mud on my britches

Padanaram, such a quiet little brook
But my fancy you just took
Like moonlight wishes
 
When I fell down, that ravine and tumbled to your tiny shore
You just laid there, in those shadows like I’d 
Knocked on Heaven’s door
The shade fell cool around me
Like I’d never felt before. 

Through the maples, in the distance sunlight shone
On a hillside lined with stones 
Wooster, Cemetery

Like a cradle, I could shut my eyes to dream
There within the shaded green
Like a monastery. 

Those were days that, were filled with baseball cards and bikes and toys
When thunder storms, and ice cream trucks were such a joyful noise
And Padanaram, your still water
Was a church for summer boys

Padanaram

                                         When people can say no ! 
I am that Milgramm girl
Who refuses to give an electric shock,
Iam that Indian boy
Who burns trucks that come to kill the jungle
My name is Rosa
I'm going to jail because i want to sit on the  bus
I'm this  Chinese girl
Standing up in front of  the tanks 

Freedom is just an idea 
As long as we obey
Freedom may be more than  an idea 
Only if the people can say no.

I'm a soldier 
Who refuses to fight to kill children.
I'm that actress who quits acting to silence rapists
I am that young girl that a cop disfigured because she takes care of your precious water
My name is Giordano they burn me because of infinity. 

Freedom is just an idea 
As long as we obey
Freedom may be more than  an idea 
Only if the people can say no.

Freedom for people when people can say no ( ad lib)

When people can say no !

a sweet afternoon at the old fashioned dream carnival by the sea

sincerely

This is an original song penned by Nat that demonstrates a lasting belief in the spirit of the Christmas season. It celebrates the childhood magic and wonder that too often wears away with the years that bring us to adulthood, and all that it entails. Hopefully this heartfelt message to everyone, young and old, will compel us all to hold on to where the magic came from and what valuable meaning it can always have in our lives. A very Merry Christmas!

Lyrics: I Still Believe by Daniels & Durgy

Ohh it's time.. 
For me to grow up
And let go of Santa they say
My world seems strange  
Is Christmas the same?
Yet all the lights flicker and play

Tell me where do I fit in? 
If this all ain’t real.. 
Tell me why do I still believe?

Oh I still have faith
As the seasons change
That one Christmas night
I’ll hear sleigh bells passing by ..
 
And now it’s time for me to pass on
The spirit of Christmas anew..
The gift of magic, the faith there is more
Belief that a dream can come true

Oh though you’re so very little, 
You’re so very loved
Stay young forever my child… 
    
(Bridge) 
And when you grow up and break through the seal
Remember these moments and that Christmas was real!

As the years go by
I have faith that time 
Won’t dispel all our memories
The love and joyfulness 
Every Christmas gave 
Still lives in you and me
And it never leaves 
As long you still believe…
No it never leaves  
As long as you believe 
Oh, I still believe!

I Still Believe
