The drum beat is bolero.  It comes from a song called Bolero, written by Maurice Ravel.  Happy 97th Bolero!

The chorus is from a song from my childhood 
We sang “Lo Bridge “ in music class
You know: I’ve gotta mule
                   Her name is Sal
                   Fifteen miles
                   On the Erie Canal…

Lo Bridge , Everybody Down - written by Thomas S. Allen in 1912.

The verses about time are mine

Thanks fer listening!

Erie Canal Redux

Chorus
When nothing feels right, but it can’t be wrong,
This used to be home, now I don’t belong.
Like they changed the words to my favourite song, 
This used to be home, now I don’t belong.

Verse 1
All these plans I overlooked, 
like a day that’ll never be, 
No reply, lost in the wind.
The road is long but I’m not free, 
I know exactly where it leads,
Still searching for that hidden turn. 
Ever felt so yesterday, 
the present moved in all the way,
The past moved on, it never worked. 

Verse 2
Feel it running through my hands, 
the crumbling sands of yesterday, 
it slips away and I can't save it. 
I'm like a stranger in my head,
My words feel wrong, (I) don't understand, 
Misquoting me whatever I say.
I won't ever let it go, 
Got to keep on keeping on, 
This was me, but me no more. 


Don't Belong

Sand Castle

A song about running towards something / running on empty / running out of time...perhaps

Lyrics
Am I running towards something that’s not worth fighting for
or maybe leaving behind the best love that I ever knew
no I’m not saying that I’m perfect I know nobody is
the trouble is I always thought that I just loved you
yeah I just loved you

Still we’re here and the now and told sometimes that that’s enough
Just what time will heal this break inside my melted heart
I know you let me hide inside our tears you always shed for me
But what If only we’d taken that break from the very start
our very start 

Cos I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
I thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Was nothing more than the nothingness of an angry echo instead

Then I saved your world again from the demons in your head
I gave up my space and time just like I did our bed
Thought I heard you call my name it was an angry echo instead
Then you scream at me that I’m to blame
So you can hang me out to dry
Pouring down your pity metaphors
Cos the similes you just can’t abide
Draining me of my excitation
Plugging angry gaps with why
I’m not sure you’ll like my answers
But let’s give it a try
No need for your poisoned reply
No RSVP lies 
And no RSVP why
Cos I saved your world again
yeah I saved you 
then I saved your world again
and your world again
then I saved your world again 
yeah I saved you 
cos I saved your world again 
then your world again   
I keep saving you (repeated)
But who’s gonna save me


Running (saved your world)

POLICE IS NOT DEAD
Video here : 
https://youtu.be/svCTyzwtaEs?si=yoonowQTUTfxXGq4

Couplet 1
La matraque bien aimantée
aux espérances des damnés
sans tes yeux plus aucunes violences constatées

Y'avait déjà dans les quartiers
de belles zones de libertés
Faut dire qu'ils aiment tellement le bleu
qu'ils finissent par t'en laisser

Refrain
Oh oh oh
police is not dead
Oh Oh
Police is near
Oh Oh
the beast is well fed
OH OH
Nothing to fear

Couplet 2
époque ponctuée de JT
faut bien nourrir l'anxiété
en toi nait maintenant
ce désir brulant d'sécurité

les esprits sur fascisés
embrassent les soldats du marché
ils préfèrent bien craindre cet autre
que jouir de leur liberté

Moins de plumes et plus d'épée
ils mutilent le social la santé
t'inquiète y'a toujours du budget
pour ces bourgeois protéger

on gaze et toi tu te tais
l'opposition c'est danger
il n'y a bien que des terroristes
pour s'user à tant à gueuler

Refrain

Couplet 3
C'est dur d'encore espérer
le critique est bâillonné
le possédant achète gâchettes médias et toute ses armées

Un lot d'urgences cumulées
le pouvoir bien cramponné
le poids des privilèges ne tient plus qu'par la "force" des condés

pas sur que l'autorité
survive à + 4 degrés
en cas de crise je mise mieux sur l'aide, la solidarité

Il se tend il va céder
l'empire sans vitalité
nul ne peut être la solution
du problème qu'il a crée

Pont
viens à la fête
sans opinion
l'usine à bête
creuse son sillon

Refrain

Another re-upload of a track (3-3-23) I released shortly after joining SoundCloud. Re-uploading it  because I wasn't happy with the mix, and I don't think a lot of people have heard it yet. As always, thank you for listening.

Version 2.0
Can’t you just exist?

You are everything I love in life
You are everything I love
You are everything
You are
You

It’s unfair
But I don’t see you
As you are
Why don’t you care
That you can’t be them

In my mind
You personify perfection
A muse of my invention
Despite your best intentions
You are doomed to let me down

Try to let you go
But who can ghost a ghost?

Live and let me go in peace with you
Live and let me go in peace
Live and let me go
Live and let me
Live

It’s unfair
But I don’t see you
As you are
Why don’t you care
That you can’t be them

In my mind
You personify perfection
A muse of my invention
Despite your best intentions
You will always let me down

The only one who understands
What we’re going through
Is my phantom of you


Be Diminished

Poussière d'étoile:
Un enfant de la peur au bord du vide
Ses rêves trop lourds pour son souffle timide
Il court il glisse dans l'ombre des rues
Une étoile filante déjà disparue

La vie qui passe comme un train sans gare
Une poussière d'étoile perdue quelque part
Le temps qui file on le retient pas
Il s’échappe il s’en va

Les années dévorent l'innocence fragile
Le miroir se brise l’enfant vacille
Les jours s’empilent comme des pages froissées
Une histoire à demi effacée

La vie qui passe comme un train sans gare
Une poussière d'étoile perdue quelque part
Le temps qui file on le retient pas
Il s’échappe il s’en va

Et si on pouvait figer l’instant
Arrêter l’horloge juste un moment
Pour voir le monde sans courir après
Pour respirer sans regret

La vie qui passe comme un train sans gare
Une poussière d'étoile perdue quelque part
Le temps qui file on le retient pas
Il s’échappe il s’en va...

Poussière d'étoile

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,
