« La musique est le refuge des âmes ulcérées par le bonheur »
(Emil M. Cioran)

[Verse]
Naître pour vivre en désirant la mort
Grandir en regrettant l'enfance où le coeur dort
Vieillir en regrettant la jeunesse ravie
Mourir en regrettant la vieillesse et la vie

[Chorus]
Où donc est le bonheur
Où donc est le bonheur
Où donc est le bonheur

Titre : Où est donc le bonheur ?
Poète : Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Recueil : Les feuilles d'automne (1831).

Où donc est le bonheur ? disais-je. - Infortuné !
Le bonheur, ô mon Dieu, vous me l'avez donné.

Naître, et ne pas savoir que l'enfance éphémère,
Ruisseau de lait qui fuit sans une goutte amère,
Est l'âge du bonheur, et le plus beau moment
Que l'homme, ombre qui passe, ait sous le firmament !

Plus tard, aimer, - garder dans son coeur de jeune homme
Un nom mystérieux que jamais on ne nomme,
Glisser un mot furtif dans une tendre main,
Aspirer aux douceurs d'un ineffable hymen,
Envier l'eau qui fuit, le nuage qui vole,
Sentir son coeur se fondre au son d'une parole,
Connaître un pas qu'on aime et que jaloux on suit,
Rêver le jour, brûler et se tordre la nuit,
Pleurer surtout cet âge où sommeillent les âmes,
Toujours souffrir ; parmi tous les regards de femmes,
Tous les buissons d'avril, les feux du ciel vermeil,
Ne chercher qu'un regard, qu'une fleur, qu'un soleil !

Puis effeuiller en hâte et d'une main jalouse
Les boutons d'orangers sur le front de l'épouse ;
Tout sentir, être heureux, et pourtant, insensé
Se tourner presque en pleurs vers le malheur passé ;
Voir aux feux de midi, sans espoir qu'il renaisse,
Se faner son printemps, son matin, sa jeunesse,
Perdre l'illusion, l'espérance, et sentir
Qu'on vieillit au fardeau croissant du repentir,
Effacer de son front des taches et des rides ;
S'éprendre d'art, de vers, de voyages arides,
De cieux lointains, de mers où s'égarent nos pas ;
Redemander cet âge où l'on ne dormait pas ;
Se dire qu'on était bien malheureux, bien triste,
Bien fou, que maintenant on respire, on existe,
Et, plus vieux de dix ans, s'enfermer tout un jour
Pour relire avec pleurs quelques lettres d'amour !

Vieillir enfin, vieillir ! comme des fleurs fanées
Voir blanchir nos cheveux et tomber nos années,
Rappeler notre enfance et nos beaux jours flétris,
Boire le reste amer de ces parfums aigris,
Être sage, et railler l'amant et le poète,
Et, lorsque nous touchons à la tombe muette,
Suivre en les rappelant d'un oeil mouillé de pleurs
Nos enfants qui déjà sont tournés vers les leurs !

Ainsi l'homme, ô mon Dieu ! marche toujours plus sombre
Du berceau qui rayonne au sépulcre plein d'ombre.
C'est donc avoir vécu ! c'est donc avoir été !
Dans la joie et l'amour et la félicité
C'est avoir eu sa part ! et se plaindre est folie.
Voilà de quel nectar la coupe était remplie !

Hélas ! naître pour vivre en désirant la mort !
Grandir en regrettant l'enfance où le coeur dort,
Vieillir en regrettant la jeunesse ravie,
Mourir en regrettant la vieillesse et la vie !

Où donc est le bonheur, disais-je ? - Infortuné !
Le bonheur, ô mon Dieu, vous me l'avez donné !

Le 28 mai 1830.

Victor Hugo.

Où est donc le bonheur

This is a song I had to write . My wife of 30 years Gill has a rare condition which has made me her main carer , we used to be party people , but sadly that is no more . Going out is such an effort as she has lost the sense of balance , there is no cure , and it's getting worse !
So I do music when I can slot it in around caring for Gill , but I love her and I will continue to care for her , hence the song title ! But on the plus side we do laugh a lot , we always have .
Phew , that's the sad stuff out of the way ! Next up is me and Kim with a dark gothic rocker closely followed by me , Dave Cooper and Axel Menningen with a country classic , then me and Gaz Brownie with a belter , and loads more to follow !
Thank you so much for listening , it means the world to me !
Here's the links to me and Charlotte's album

[Verse] I see your eyes they hold the weight The storms you face the hours late But here I stand through thick and thin I'll hold you close let love begin

[Verse 2] Your hands are tired your heart is worn Through every trial we’ve been torn But I won't let the shadows stay I'll light your path I'll clear the way

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

[Verse 3] The days are long the nights are cold But every story’s worth being told I’ll carry you through every test You’re my heart and I’ll give my best

[Bridge] Even when the skies turn gray Even when hope feels far away I’ll stay steady I’ll stay true Every step I’ll walk with you

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

Care For You

Written, Performed and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I’ve been tracing shadows where we used to stand
Familiar places slipping through my hands
I feel your heart though it’s just far away
And I wonder if you feel the same

But I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Sometimes I feel the weight of things unsaid
The silent spaces bring doubt in my head
I’m learning to quiet the voice that feeds my fear
But I need to know you'll always here

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

I know I’ve got my own fight inside
But I see the struggle you try to hide
We’re two souls searching for common ground
So let’s meet in the middle, let’s turn this around

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on, through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Close The Distance

Choosey (D-Messiah ft. STL NiNjA)

A bit of Goth Rock going on here , one of my fav songs of all time is " Bring me to Life " which may have influenced this song slightly ! Me , Axel and Dave are up next with a super country song , closely followed by me and Gaz ( we're working on a stormer at the moment ) Then more by just me , me and Kim , a great song with Dave Cooper and many more to follow !
Charlotte and I will be back soon with new material , our album links are below .
Many thanks for giving up your time to listen to my efforts ! Me and Kim hope you like this one .

[Verse] She walks in frost that bites the air A crown of stars A frozen glare Her footsteps hum on crystal glass Each step a whisper A shadow cast

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Verse 2] The rivers pause beneath her gaze The sky turns pale A ghostly haze Her laugh is sharp It cuts the wind A riddle wrapped A soul unpinned

[Prechorus] But does she dream Does she cry Does she melt beneath the sky

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Bridge] She builds her walls of icy stone A castle carved She stands alone But deep inside A fire sleeps A secret warmth A flame she keeps

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

I respect people who have cultivated their own style and personality, rather than attempting to emulate others. You gotta stay on your sh*t cause people are always plotting and tryna figure out ways to harvest your energy cause they lack the light you illuminate.🕯️
