She Moved Through the Fair

My young love said to me "My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

Then she went away from me and moved through the fair
And so fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went onward, just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

She Moved Through the Fair [bitzone production]

TODAY

Turn Out The Sun

Manojos

Veo tus pies, primera escena,
alpargatas de viejo trapo 
y de esparto las suelas.
Hace calor y te concentras
en las piedras que forman
un mosaico allá en la era.
Se tapa el sol y otra vuelta,
como un tiovivo, el trillo que gira
tirado por las bestias.

Tu curiosidad,
se forjó en aquel lugar,
entre olivos, almendros,
y chumberas.

Tus manos veo, segunda escena,
fabricando entre los dedos guita 
a la sombra de la higuera.
Y al lado aquel horno de piedra
que quiere imitar al sol calentando 
hogazas de pan quemando leña.
Tu mente piensa en primavera
y los almendros en flor la anticipan 
siempre mirando donde quieras.

Tu curiosidad,
se forjó en aquel lugar:
entre olivos, almendros,
abruptas ramblas de arena,
chicharras que cantan al fresco
de la desierta paz.
(En la desierta paz de aquella escena)

Tus ojos veo, tercera escena,
observando la luz azul
de los restos de la hoguera,
ya se ha acabado la verbena
y te late el corazón
al son del tiritar de las estrellas,
pues todos vinieron a la cena
los que ya no están y los que están aún 
brindaron por las penas.



Tu curiosidad,
se forjó en aquel lugar,
entre olivos, almendros,
y chumberas,
me gusta imaginar
que aún se pueden visitar
que son como la luz 
de aquella estrella.

Intro - Beautiful - 12X's

Do you remember
When we were young?
We were feelin' free
Not a care in the world
And everyone could feel
The joy everlasting

There was mom and dad
And gramps and grandma too
Laughing and rejoicing with us 
Over lemonade and cake

In the yard with good old Fluffy
Playing in the yard listening to the birds
We're so awake
And there was Johnny hollerin' 
At Betty cuz' she wouldn't stay

Oh how I long for those days
They were the best
When life was too good

There was something called respect
Respect for everyone
We would say grace 
And be thankful 
For everything we had

The magic was in the air
We were so alive and there
There in those precious moments

Those precious days
Don't seem so far away 
But it's all in the past
And how I just want to hold on 
And recall all that was so beautiful
And blossoming

Those beautiful memories

A message of appeasement to all our American "Red or Blue" friends.
We in Europe have been following this election closely, and in many ways it struck us as surreal.
But now, we hope for reconciliation, for appeasement, because the world's greatest democracy must show us a nobler and more respectful image.
The free world still needs a strong America to contain the nations that are moving away from an indispensable area of democracy and freedom. The environmental state of the planet cannot afford to wait.
The essential stake which must unite us all lies in the safeguard of our beautiful blue planet.
Long live America !

Un message d'apaisement à tous nos amis américains "Red or Blue".
Nous européens avons suivi de près cette élection, et à bien des égards elle nous a semblé surréaliste.
Mais désormais, nous formons l'espoir d'une réconciliation, d'un apaisement, car la plus grande démocratie mondiale doit nous montrer une image plus noble et plus respectueuse.
Le monde libre a toujours besoin d'une amérique forte à contenir les nations qui s'éloignent d'un indispensable espace de démocratie et de liberté. L'état environnemental de la planète ne peut se permettre d'attendre.
L'enjeu essentiel qui doit nous tous nous unir réside dans la sauvegarde de notre belle planète bleue.!

Vive l'Amérique.

--- Appeasement ---

You feel the blue wave,
that invades your mind,
the start of a new age,
red or blue, the same line,

Forget the bitterness, hatred,
Come share the joy and the bread,

forget this nightmare,
we are not at war,
put away your gun,
and enjoy the sun,


In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home,
In our space of freedom,
she is the family home...

Appeasement

Scarborough Fair is a traditional English folk song. The author is unknown. Probably the best-known version today is the adaptation by Simon & Garfunkel, which first appeared in 1966 on the album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
I wrote this German text in 1994.

English translation of my text:

Look at the fields in autumn.
The grain turns yellow, ready to mow.
Reminds me of days gone by.
It was beautiful, I think about it a lot.

And the vines with grapes so heavy.
Makes the wine that we loves so much
Come winemaker, because the work is done.
Raise your glass, because the festival begins.

Forests colorful, a colorful splendor.
Red, green, yellow, autumn made it.
Winter is coming soon and covering everything.
White the landscape, the trees heavy!

POEM OF EMILY BRONTË 

This shall be thy lullaby,
Rocking on the stormy sea;
Though it roar in thunder wild,
Sleep, stilly sleep, thou bright-haired child.

When our shuddering boat was crossing
Eldern's lake so rudely tossing,
Then 'twas first my nursling smiled;
Sleep, softly sleep, my fair-browed child.

Waves above thy cradle break,
Foamy tears are on thy cheek,
Yet the ocean's self grows mild
When it bears my slumbering child.

May 1838
( The photo is taken in Grasmere.  A village  in Cumbria, England, in the centre of the Lake District. In my imagination it`s EMILY BRONTË`s  "Eldern's lake" from the poem :)

Lullaby. Torbjørn Vagle og Oddrun Eikli.

I sit on your doorstep - waiting for you to come down - i know that you are up there trying to turn your world around - As you put on your make-up you think about our breakup and how its affected you but still you're okay - and I put on my make-up and think about this breakup and i am surely not okay with what it's been doing to me - then you walk out you doorway yeah and I am waiting right there - your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keeps getting colder and colder - then you you just graze right by me yeah - guess I'm a ghost from your past - what was it that changed you - am i - am i the one who changed you - should i wait for you to come home - no my friends would call me a creep - but I would own that label - if you would just talk to me - wish I could come upstairs made a mix tape of all the songs you love we can listen by the fireplace that's all that's all I've been dreaming of - I guess that I'm just getting old - and all the things that meant so much to us - have vanished in a cloud of dust - woman  woman who can we trust - then you walk out your doorway yeah I am waiting right there your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keep getting colder and colder - I pass by your doorstep yeah everyday on my way to work and even though you haven't lived there for years i still see your face - was creeping on your Instagram - got a family and I'm still who I am I'm lost without your tenderness oh woman I'm so lost

Doorstep-

If someone had told me that this composition would finally be like this 7 years ago, I would not have believed it.

Recently posted a new review of this song, I thought about the tremendous voices that Dan-DT uses in his compositions: sweet and deep voices, beautiful in all the concepts that accompany his fantastic melodies.

That is why I proposed to him to replace my almost inseparable choruses so used in my songs so that he could complete the melody in the best possible way (According to his preference, of course). For me this collaboration has been an enormous satisfaction since I am an admirer of everything published here. Dan also added soft sounds that further nuanced the melody.

For my part I made an added intro and some additional track from KV331.

I recommend waiting for minute 1:03 where you can see the difference with the previous version due to the enormous quality provided by Dan.

Used Illusions

I used to dream of gentle breeze
And laughter floating on the waves
Of crystal river
I had illusions, I used them all
I didn't leave a single drop
Not a drop

My hope runs thin
Nowhere to hide
Such a strange place
Rain pouring down
Leave all you have
Take me with you
And fly away
Away
Away

Leave it all behind
Take me with you and fly
Away

I look in every pocket, in every drawer
For any dream I may have put away
But nothing there
I hear the sound and rush inside
It's only the beating of my heart
Just my heart

My hope runs thin...

TORCHES

My first song of 2021. Lots of piano, synths, clarinets and bouncy bass. 🎶🎤🎵🎧💕

Heavy

Background

This is my take on an old traditional song. The earliest reference I've discovered is around 1847.  It supposedly had other titles 'The Grinders' and 'The Saddle on the Right Horse'  

It is a vivid description of the lot of Sheffield Grinders, working and often dying early in life due to their trade. The 'Grinding Hull's' mentioned in the lyrics were grim places, full of particles of metal and dust from the grinding wheels. Historical evidence suggests boys were often apprenticed from nine to twelve years of age.

Through my working career I was employed in the Steel Industry engaged in scientistic work and environmental research, quite a bit of it related to occupational health problems, So it is no surprise to me and very fitting that I wanted to get this song recorded. As a Sheffield lad born and bred it connects for me I guess. 

Apparently a version of this traditional song was recorded by 'The Ian Campbell Group' in 1972 and the band 'Afterhours' from their eponymous cassette only album from 1988. After hearing the 'Afterhours' 1988 version, I decided to work up a DADGAD guitar arrangement of my own.  Here is the result.
---------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation and Arrangement

I wanted a simple arrangement for this song as really it's all about the lyrics and overall message. I used a DADGAD guitar tuning and aimed for a strum pattern that hopefully reflects the cyclical rhythmic quality of the grindstones in use.

After the main vocals was recorded I decided a bit of backing vocals would add a bit of extra spice to the overall song. Sometimes voice and guitar is all you really need. :-)

The Sheffield Grinder (Lyrics around 1847)
**( with small revisions for this version)
(Photograph taken from the Illustrated London News 1866)

The Sheffield grinder's a terrible blade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
'Fore he sets his little 'uns down to trade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
He sets ‘em all down to grind in the hull,
Till their bodies are stunted and their eyes are dull,
And their brains are all dizzy and dazed in their skulls.
Tally ho, the grinder!

He shortens his life and he hastens his death.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he’ll drink steel dust with every breath.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he won't wash his hands ‘ere he eats a meal
And he won’t wear a mask as he grinds at his wheel
And he’ll die as he’s lived, as hard as cold steel.
Tally ho, the grinder!

(Instrumental)

The Sheffield grinders of whom we do speak.
Tally ho, the grinder!
Well they’re men who’ll earn just one pound a week.
Tally ho, the grinder!
But of Sheffield grinders another sort
Methinks ought to be called to court,
Aye, and that’s the grinding Government Board.
Tally ho, the grinder!

At whose door lies the blacker blame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Oh where lies the heavier weight of shame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Is it the famine-price contractor's head,
Or on the workman who’s under-fed,
And who grinds his own bones and his children’s for bread?
Tally ho, the grinder!

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
