The Road

This is one of my 'lounge series' acoustic thingies.  A simple one-take song/story for voice and piano.

Listen

Listen, I want to tell you, I respect you, I admire you
Listen, I want to open up, enfold you with my heart
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m talking in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I want to tell you, what’s the point in carrying on?
Listen, I’m giving up now, just can’t take this pain of losing
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m crying in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I need to tell you, how I love you deep inside
Listen, goddamn you listen, it’s no use, you run and hide
Been building walls up so long now, you’ve walled yourself away
If I come too close, you’re cornered and you toss my love away

Then I notice that you’re crying, in a small and subtle way
But there’s no way in to hold you, so I have to walk away
And I realise your pain now, the parts of me you heard
had to drown me out, had to knock me down, you couldn’t bear my words

And it’s all over now, the phone keeps ringing
and there’s really nothing left for us to say
it’s all over now, I watch you as you turn and walk away

Listen...

A song about a friend who found himself living alone after many years.

Left Alone Blues

Music: Composed, written, mixed, mastered, by: Felipe

Vocals/Lyrics: Written, performed, mixed and mastered by: The Mysterious Decibel

Lyrics:

Do you want to hear a lullaby
Fast forward to your last goodbye
I don't wanna make things seem strange
Strange
Cuz there's a phantom in the mirror of these dreams
And I cant  reach inside and pull her from the throne of the regime
The other side might not be what it may seem

What if my dream could take me to the other side of the mirror?
Would I still stare blank right back at me and tell me I'm not there?
Would the silhouette blindly serenade
Or Would the silhouette blindly fade in the glare of all the brighter things?
Not so many Brighter things
Would you see horse flies gallop around sticks of butter?
Or be dealt the reverse card and feel those wings flutter
Butterflies out from the gutter

Every mirror may have its portal
Like Doors to Monsters inc.
Imaginary friends or maybe I need a shrink
But all I can remember is
Honey I didn't shrink those kids
But now all the bees are calling dibs
Or they might be swimming with the squids
where are those kids?
They all look just like me
Where are those kids
Just little bugs rolling in mystery

EXIT

My memories of distant shores and a beautiful sea... With age, memories become more acute and gradually become the main ones in life...Theme and performance - LeoMReznik   (DADGAD tune)

Faraway shore

“No One”

If I were a man
	A stand I might make
		Resolved
	Murder my kind no longer

But I’m just an unsensible
	Expendable thing
		Render my life like a number

So it goes

Tender little child
Plucked by a wile
	Who loves you
	More than they?

Sweet little child
Fit for a vial
	Who wants you?
	None they say
	Not even they
	No one

If I were a man
	A stand I might make
		Resolved
	Murder my kind no longer

But I’m just an unsensible
	Expendable thing
		Render my life like a number

So it goes

Tender little child
Crushed by a plier
	Who hurt you...
		More than they?




Poor little child
Unreconciled
	Who made you?
		None dare say

Frail little child—
	Meek and mild
		Who will answer for you?
			None they say

Doomed little child—
	Conceived and defiled
		Who will save you?
			None they say
			None can say
				No one?

No One

I heard this by Sierra Ferrel and just love it by her. I had no clue it was co-written by Ray Charles. This is a casual version in my friends, Jack Beck, house. We just enjoy getting together and doing sone songs on the fly that we mention, look up and give it a whirl. Jack is on guitar, and a much better picker than I am. He will be glad to tell you! HA! I know the truth when I hear it!  Anyway, we just have a good time playing music and singing. He has a back yard full of chickens, so it seemed fitting to do this song. We wondered about the meaning, if it was about a Mom who blew the coop and the family was a wondering where she went. The pic I took of Jack serenading his chickens, Ha!  Yep, we kinda country. :)

Hey Me Hey Momma/ Cover/ Susi & Jack Beck

Written and recorded to 8 track tape then mixed straight onto cd around 2009.

The drum percussion sound, because I didnt have a kit back then, was created by using crusty old paint brushes on a textured vinyl album cover. If I recall, it was the Eagles greatest hits. Where theres a will, theres a way.......
