Aurora

this playlist contains songs inspired by my time spent in the deep south... the swamps, the blues, the bayou, the southern vibe...  the hospitality, the mythology, the history, the blood spilled, the blood drank... the moonshine and the alligators.  the hearts broken and the silver bullets.  the spice and salty, the sweet and the heady.   it's beautiful down there.  God's country, the Devil's playground... call it what you will.  i call it my spiritual home.   if you like what you hear, go visit the artist's page and show them some motherfucking love...  thank you.  x

lyrics:

hey... my sister
won't you come to me
we can walk on the wet sand
and cry in the sea
hey... my sister
won't you come to me
i'll brush your hair
until you fall asleep.......

hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
we can sing in the kitchen
and howl at the moon
hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
and we'll dance in the forest
and sleep until noon...

and sleep until noon...

Sister

Once again a somewhat experimental song with a touch of the Orient. A mix of digital and analog sounds, matching the beautiful lyric and vocals of Cecilia. Let's dive into hypnotic oriental sounds.

Lyrics
        
How Wonderful is the Nature & all the living creatures
such Beautiful landscapes, arts & architectures
There is Treasures all over the Earth
and
Life could be so Beautiful
Life could be so Wonderful
But so many act as a fool

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why

Life could be so Beautiful
Life could be so Wonderful
But so many act as a fool

Heart they don't Love, Soul they don't Feel

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why

Some people seems so heartless
they think they are the best
just look their own interest
don't care about the rest

Oh Why oh Why I don't know why.....

Life could be so Beautiful
Life could be so Wonderful

Could Be So Wonderful - Special Cecilia & OMCB

I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

Bouzouki, harp, bass and drum programming, mixed and premastered by Dónal Lunny
Mastered by Ivan O'Shea
Editing/Vocals/BV/guitar/photo of my mum by SuZanne

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master

Love Blast 07 - Moonlite Bunny Ranch "Downer" 

Moonlite Bunny Ranch is a saxophone player and two dj/producers, born from the spine of the dark jazz ensemble Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte: 
"Freeform Techno" with improvised patterns and no real clue where the music would go, like a rough jazz band playing slow techno. 
Their first effort, "Downer", is a 3-tracks EP combining analog synthetizers, digital effects, saxophone, hang drum. 
Mixed at the Subsound Studio in Rome by Luciano Lamanna and mastered by Andrea Merlini, "Downer" gets inspiration from the illegal brothels in no man's land in the South of the United States; the jazz funerals in New Orleans; the goat and the old lady.

Lyrics:

I smell the rain from valleys low
My tired soul
Where would you go
I tie my chains to where they say
The old men come
And die to pray
Nowhere to hide
You're melting inside

Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one warming you
Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one burning you x 2

My mother doesn't like her name
So who could I ever 
Dare to blame
Head on my knees
I try to see
The blossoming trees
The purple breeze
Nowhere to hide
You're melting inside 

Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one warming you
Like the gypsy sun 
I will be the one burning you x 3

Don't Follow Rivers
