Take Me Back

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

NOVEMBER from Autumn A Symphonic Poem

Пісня про цей світ, війну та людські почуття

Війна В Моїх Вікнах

One thing about Butch — he can strut! His swagger and no-bueno attitude make him alpha of the sidewalks, as most creatures flee when they see him. When Halloween arrives, Butch likes to dress up in his favorite costume disguise as a hellhound. Everyone recognizes him, of course — no surprise — because he can’t masquerade a role that’s very, very familiar to the neighborhood.

A playful chill tune of rhythm and blues and jazz

Scary Butch

I'm having some Halloween fun with a Screaming Jay Hawkins type song. Theremin included free of charge.

Lyrics:
Oh Caroline
I don't give a damn about your star sign
Caroline
I don't know nothing about those love lines
On your hand
That palm reader 
She put it in doubt!
That same hand you used
To lock me out
You say: Venus is rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition, you know that I must disagree

Everything has been going wrong
Since you told me
Our star signs they're not aligned
That sun is beating down on my house
(It's a Son House!)  😉 
Even when I'm inside
I was at the airport
When my ship, it finally came in
I'm drinking in a rusty bucket
Home-made gin
You say:
Venus is rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition, you know I disagree
Ewwww!
( Because you're mine!")

Caroline
You know it's true
I'll win you back
With those
Cut rate
Reprobate
Back alley
Black magic blues
(Because you're mine?)

You said:
Venus was rising
In retrograde
With Mercury
Little Miss Superstition
Won't you please break the spell that you cast upon me?

LYRICS 
I heard her coming in at midnight
I said honey where you been
She said I've been to the movies
With Sue and my best friend Janine

She said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I said what was the movie
And she said I don't know
I didn't take no notice
It was just somewhere to go

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

Instrumental

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I said why was you talking
Is there something I should know
She said now honey don't be silly
But her face just let it show

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I heard her coming in at midnight

Coming in at Midnight

Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics. Achazia. 

(Little tweak on it. I think bass was a little loud)

Special info: The audio file in the beginning is sounds from Neptune. NASA's Voyager 2 recorded electromagnetic emissions from its magnetosphere. These signals, when converted into sound, produce eerie, otherworldly noises, often described as haunting or ethereal.

Lyrics: Verse 1
I feel nothing.
I am standing alone, watching the dusk turn to dawn. Alone...

There was something—
I could have sworn I saw you there in the distance, alone...

So here I am...

(piano)

Chorus
Where you are now; are you underneath the skies?
Are you lost within misty shadows, holding back, or afraid to rise?

Verse 2
This strange silence keeps me awake;
All I see around me is a hollow, empty space.
My thoughts go deep, but they reach no one.
I feel the loss inside me, ever since you were gone.

Chorus
I wonder where you are now; are you underneath the skies?
Are you lost within misty shadows, holding back, or afraid to rise?

Verse 3
There was a moment.
I went back in time, traveled far in my dreams, with you.

But there was nothing.
You're fading away as time goes by, after all these years, I miss you.

(Solo: Choirs and guitars)

Chorus
I wonder where you are now; are you underneath the skies?
Lost within misty shadows, holding back, or afraid to rise?

(for some reason I cannot replace the file tonight. Stil work in progress)

I feel nothing
