Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

It's The Time (with Janine Levinson)

Her Happier Times (Brookes and Wigmore)

available for free D/L at https://www.terrywigmore.com/jazz-collection-vol-2 (track 6) 

Oh, for the good old days when life was less complicated and appeared far more rosier than our current global situation.

This is a pensive composition and moves along with images from an older woman's past. Ray's music provides a jazz framework for the memories as they flow much as a stream of consciousness, one image after another - a series of Black and White photos from a Brownie camera or the scenes from a silent film. 

There is a lot to take in and the tempo allows the listener to project his or her own thoughts and feelings onto the silver screen of your mind's eye. 

Music and Lyrics: Ray Brookes (all piano and guitar parts performed, recorded and mixed by Ray - pre-mixed backing sent to Terry for vocals to be added)
Vocal: Terry 

Lyrics to Her Happier Times 
(c) Ray Brookes 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Ancient clocks and ringing chimes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Monochrome photos, fewer cars 
Sci-fi movies and men from Mars 
Larger skies and brighter stars 
Shillings and pence and sweets in jars 

Favourite shoes and vintage wines 
Long summer days and fishing lines 
Old sleepy orchards and endless vines 
Birthday cards and Valentines 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Mother goose and nursery rhymes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Instrumental - guitar solo (Ray)

Old country fiddles heel and toe 
Gingham waltzes and foxtrots slow 
Those Friday nights at the picture show 
Walks to school steady as you go 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Pecking orders and social climbs 
The old lady remembers happier times

Stain

The sum of us 
is not the carnage that we see
but the secrets that we keep 
the graveyards in our souls 
with its dirt
clinging to our feet 

Wouldya take my confession 
lift this weight that holds me down 
this heavy crown 
cause I cannot let regret 
be my only companion 

Every voice I’ve ever heard 
every soul I’ve ever known 
carries on within me
those lessons my mind holds
and how could I ever know 
why I say the things I say
walking wounded 
seeking praise
full of fear
makes me run away 

I know you love me tho I’m sure
I’m undeserved 
remember to keep a lid
on that hole that I hid
collapsin stars and draggin it all in

Wouldya take my confession 
lift this weight that holds me down 
this heavy crown

Take My Confession

■概要(overview)
何となくギターを手に取って、録音してみました。
せっかくなので、ボーカルも入れてみました。
それにしても酷い歌詞だ！はははは！

シンセの音をあまり入れなかったので、1日でできました。
皆様、2022年はありがとうございました。
2023年も一緒に遊びましょう！

I picked up a guitar and started recording.
Since it's a big deal, I tried adding vocals as well.
Those are terrible lyrics! Hahahaha!

I didn't include many synth sounds, so it was completed in one day.
Thank you all for 2022.
Let's play together in 2023!

■歌詞
一年でね　最も華やかなクリスマスのパーティーが終わってしまった
風邪をひいてさ　ずっと寝込んでいたらさ　誰もさ　いなくなっていた

あんなに待ち遠しかった年末も
どこか寂しくて　どこか孤独だ

誰もいない街灯の下で
クリスマスキャロルの小説を読んでいる

ラララ・・

久しぶりに電車に乗ってみた
何だかさ　静かすぎるっていうか
時間の流れがさ　捻じれてしまっているような
不思議な感じがしたんだ

夕飯は街の中華食堂でチャーハンを頼んだんだ
窓から入ってくる風が冷たくてね
何だか僕は一人で何をやっているんだろうという
そんな気持ちになってしまった

ラララ・・

■lyrics
In a year, the most glamorous Christmas party has ended
I caught a cold, and when I stayed in bed for a long time, people started to leave me

Even the end of the year that I've been waiting for so long
Somewhere lonely Somewhere lonely

Under an empty streetlight
reading a christmas carol novel

Lalala...

I took a train for the first time in a while
Somehow it's too quiet
It's like the flow of time has been twisted
I felt strange

For dinner, I ordered fried rice at a Chinese restaurant in town.
The wind coming through the window is cold
Somehow I wonder what I'm doing alone
I got that feeling

Lalala...

Before Happy New Year

Frozen soil

Dear friends - a little song about our little ones (in Swedish).
The melody has been approved by my lovely little granddaughter Greta!
Today, June 6, 2023, is a big day for Sweden. We are celebrating the 500th anniversary of our country in its current form. It feels good!
Approximate translation into English below:

What amuses Children

What amuses children
it is not easy to understand
but the reality is
that it is good when the children smile

To swing really high against the sky
so that the world changes
it can be upside down
and then the children laugh out loud

When the children feel bad
and when life feels so sad
then it sometimes helps
when grandpa reads them a fairy tale

In this modern age
there have been things that are fun
and which opens up our world
with pictures from a distant land

I know kids like animals
both small ones and those you can ride on
and when the children hug them
then both animals and children enjoy it

In Swedish:
Vad roar Barn

Vad är det som roar barn
det är inte lätt att förstå
men verkligheten är
att det är bra när barnen ler

Att gunga riktigt högt emot skyn
så att världen ändrar sig
den kan bli upp och ner
och då skrattar barnen högt

När barnen känner sig dåliga
och när livet känns så trist
då hjälper det ibland
när morfar läser en saga för dom

I denna moderna tid
det har kommit grejer som är kul
och som öppnar våran värld
med bilder från ett fjärran land

Jag vet att barn gillar djur
både små och dom man kan åka på
och när barnen kramar dom
då njuter både djur och barn

Vad roar Barn (What amuses Kids)(Lyrics in English below)

When a leader falls out big time - theres usually a massive amount of reasons.  It has happened, it does happen and it will happen:)

its alright now
everything is fine
man at the top
got the chop chop chop
so now we can breath 
with ease
taken down

its alright now
everything is fine
was so hard 
talking to deaf ears
for years and years
taken down
taken down

its alright now
everything is fine
man at the top
got the chop chop chop
taken down
taken down
