Your Mix 3

Crown

Lyrics

You told me that you were in pain
You told me that you were lost
But I.....
I didn't want to listen
I didn't want to listen
Or understand the cost

You told me that I leaned too hard
You told me you needed space
But I....
I didn't want to listen
I didn't want to listen
And now you are far away

Can you please forgive me
I was lost and out on my own
Can you please forgive me
For you....
You are my soul

You told me that you were broken
You told me the loss was profound
But I...
I didn't want to listen
I didn't want to listen
But I'm listening now

Can you please forgive me
I felt lost and out on my own
Can you please forgive me
For you....
You are my soul

You are my soul

Lost

Jezebel (Sade cover)

I Believe ft. XHOI

Diamante.  Ariel en Bicicleta

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Where to go 
When you’ve been so many places?
Where to stay 
When everywhere is home

Who to greet 
With these all familiar faces?
Staying put
Even though you want to roam

Oh you will find it - Ooooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Ooooooo

What to pack 
With limited possessions?
What to drive
The key lost long ago

How to pinpoint 
Where are your dear obsessions?
Never lost 
Even though the signs won’t show

Oh, you will find it - Oooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Oooooo

What to fear 
When you were never harmed
Who to trust 
When deceit is yet unknown

Who to love
When already you are charmed
You will see
You won’t question, you will know

Oh, you will find it - Oooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Oooooo

You Will Find It

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

Dm                    A7              Dm
I went down to St. James Infirmary 
Bb7 A7 Bb7 A7 Dm
To see my Baby there
                        Dm                     A7                 Dm
They had Her stretched-out on a marble table 
Bb7    A7 Bb7 A7 Dm
Asleep, so cold, so fair

[Verse]

             Dm                      A7                Dm

Find a girl half as sweet

[Verse]

            Dm                 A7                     Dm
Gonna bury Her in Her strait-laced boots

In Her  walk’n coat and Cloche’ hat

Put a twenty-dollar bill in Her coin-purse

So She’ll know She died standin' pat

An American folk song about going to St. James Infirmary to retrieve a deceased lover. The song evolved over time and potentially from British origins in the 1800s, roots can be traced to the early jazz and blues era in New Orleans. Lyrics and melody were adapted and rearranged by numerous artists over centuries and emerged from a blend of folk, blues, and jazz. It’s popularity grew through oral traditions, diverse interpretations, and legendary performances 

Marble tables were practical for hygiene in morgues due to their white, durable, and non-porous characteristics. The thermal mass of a thick marble stone slab table allowed for temperature retention—ideal for icing in warm climates or maintaining an ambient cool surface in morgues which were typically located in medical facility basements

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, fashionable women dressed in tailored jackets, walking coats, and tailored suits. Garments were designed to be fashionable and practical. Popular was the tailor-made suit, which consisted of a matching jacket and skirt. Suits could have varied styles, including fitted jackets with defined waists and skirts. A walking coat was characterized by its length and suitability for outdoor activities. Women's fashion during this period saw a shift towards more tailored and practical clothing

Unlike higher heels of previous decades, shoes in the 1920s often had lower, practical heels to reflect the era’s active style. Boots had lace-up designs, providing a snug fit around the ankle and calf. This style allowed women to participate in energetic social activities. A stif pointed-toe contributed to a sleek and modern look and had defensive advantages. Boots were made of leather or fabric. Suede and patent leather being also popular

A Cloche (“bell” in French) is a bell-shaped fitted hat that became fashionable in the 1920s, complementing shorter hairstyles of the time

"Standing pat", a poker term meaning to keep one's hand as dealt without drawing additional cards, suggests the idea of a person being content and staying true until the end

In 1927 Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra were first to record the song under: "Gambler's Blues", crediting Carl Moore and Phil Baxter’s “St. James' Infirmary”. The song became more popular after Armstrong's comedic 1928 recording which mocked more emotionally serious versions. By 1930 at least twenty different recordings had been released. The Duke Ellington Orchestra recorded the song multiple times under names like "The Ten Black Berries", "The Harlem Hot Chocolates", and "The Jungle Band”. In 1933, Cab Calloway's version was released in a classic Betty Boop cartoon and his instrumental version featured Calloway's related hit song - Minnie the Moocher. Irving Mills managed both Calloway and Ellington. Mills Music published both artists

Hey, my friend
Have a thing to say
To tell you
Been around and learning you

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

Hey, my friend
Looking out for me
My brother
Surely true, I've needed you

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

I don't think you know how much you do
Evening comes, you promise light anew

Evening comes, you promise light anew

Light Anew

Help me see

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’ t find the words tonight

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight


Shining down or in your eyes 
I can’t see the stars tonight
Help me see 
Help me see the stars tonight

I could live a simple life
Slow it down or take a flight
I could live a simple life
I could live a simple life

I can’t see the see stars tonight
I can’t find the words tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
Help me see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’t find the words I like……

Help me see

the waves are fallin' over my head
the waves are crashin' over my head
you pull yourself up by the bootstraps
'n collect
take inventory of
what remains

the waves are crashin' over my head
yeah, how I even got out of bed

it's funny how time can cure your deepest ills
it's funny how denial can keep you well

the waves are crashin' over my head
the whitewater leaves you spinnin' down

Belle on flute :)

Michael Weber's Album

waves

if ya don't know where you gonna go
how you gonna ever place it

if ya don't ride with the moonlight
how will you know that the time has arrived

so rise
and shine

if you don't know how to unload
how ya ever gonna take off

if you're undone check into the sun
maybe you'll make your way up

so rise
and shine

how do ya know
if you don't know
how do you grow
if you don't show
what do ya say
what are you for
under the sun
everything's wonderful

so rise

if you don't wait you won't be late
take a little time to contemplate

let it go 'n see where it all shakes out
'til you really know what it's all about

so rise
'n shine

rise

He knows my Name

down by the waterside we could smell the sea air and all the life
to be around

like the wind blows

down by the water's edge we could hear the sound of migration
and feel the change of the season

the wind ii

hey there mother
I can hear you
though I'm far, far away

hey big sister
now I miss ya
wasn't supposed to go this way

the river
gives and takes
like my father
I was born to live

under water
you get closer
to the beginning

you can only do 
what you do

This is my take on a classic Stephen Stills tune. I decided to try and create something different since I do no have the harmonies of other voices and I can no longer hit those really high notes in my tenor voice range.
"The title "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (a play on words for "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes") refers to Stephen Stills' former girlfriend, singer/songwriter Judy Collins, and the lyrics to most of the suite's sections consist of his thoughts about her and their imminent breakup"               Wikipedia
