Beats Of Christmas

Gaudete In Shadows (1)

Four walls 

talk to me 
tell me anything 
that you don’t want to see me 
even that, it will fit me

Look at me 
I got you some chocolates 
I know you used to love it 
Today I don’t know, I don’t know anymore 

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
of this indifference
your mind dances
between these four walls

talk to me 
hear your voice again 
to finally feed hope 
one day we’ll see you again

Remember 
that you guided our steps 
you were our king 
how to do without you 
we don’t know anymore 

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
for you nothing matters 
you live in silence 
between these four walls

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
please take the hand 
that I hold out to you
if there is a chance 
then talk to me
even if it hurts
I need to know 
if you know it’s me 
who's standing here in front of you.

[Chorus]
Nous pouvons nous adapter aux difficultés de tous les jours.
[Verse]
Comme la souplesse de la branche d'un arbre.
[Verse1]
Comme les nuances d'une palette de milliers de couleurs.

Adaptation
[Chorus]
We can adapt to everyday difficulties
Find the light in the running shadow
Navigate the storms with love
Adapt to changes head-on

[Verse]
Like the flexibility of the branch of a tree
Which bends but never breaks with the wind
Our hearts are forests full of charm
Resilient to growing challenges

[Verse 2]
Like the nuances of a palette of thousands of colors
We find wonders in our mistakes
Each ordeal builds inner strength
A rainbow after every pain

[Chorus]
We can adapt to everyday difficulties
Find the light in the running shadow
Navigate the storms with love
Adapt to changes head-on

[Bridge]
The stars guide us in the night
They shine despite all adversity
The simple beauty of small things
Helps us get through the roses

[Chorus]
We can adapt to everyday difficulties
Find the light in the running shadow
Navigate the storms with love
Adapt to changes head-on

[Chorus]
Nous pouvons nous adapter aux difficultés de tous les jours
Trouver la lumière dans l'ombre qui court
Naviguer les tempêtes avec amour
S'adapter aux changements sans détour

[Verse]
Comme la souplesse de la branche d'un arbre
Qui plie mais ne rompt jamais avec le vent
Nos cœurs sont des forêts pleines de charme
Résistants aux défis grandissant

[Verse 2]
Comme les nuances d'une palette de milliers de couleurs
On trouve des merveilles dans nos erreurs
Chaque épreuve forge une force intérieure
Un arc-en-ciel après chaque douleur

[Chorus]
Nous pouvons nous adapter aux difficultés de tous les jours
Trouver la lumière dans l'ombre qui court
Naviguer les tempêtes avec amour
S'adapter aux changements sans détour

[Bridge]
Les étoiles nous guident dans la nuit
Elles brillent malgré toute adversité
La simple beauté des petites choses
Nous aide à passer à travers les roses

[Chorus]
Nous pouvons nous adapter aux difficultés de tous les jours
Trouver la lumière dans l'ombre qui court
Naviguer les tempêtes avec amour
S'adapter aux changements sans détour

Merry Christmas to all and to all a fun night

Ian (the Magician) has on his well known soundcloud page wonderful instrumentals. I already had the luck to work with him.
When I heard his track: "Lost" i wanted to ad lyrics to emphasis the "hope" i also heard. The title changed into "Lost or not?"

Instrumental: https://soundcloud.com/ian-rutter-144739802/lost-2002?si=48d7c929761847ad968e19e27d652af5&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing



Lost or not (collab Magicien)

I look around me                      
But i don’t know where I am
The clock on the church says it’s 4 PM 
But i still don’t know   i still don’t know 
Where i am

 
       I am lost that’s what i am

the place i see, i have never seen    
in this  town i’ve never been    

  I am lost that’s what i am
lost that’s what i am i am
 
Suddenly a voice said  , have no fear 
You’r e  not  lost 
You’re where you want to be, 
You are here

lost or not (collab Magician)

(Verse 1)
She’s been sittin’ on my couch since the Fourth of July,
Swearin’ up and down it’s just a temporary ride.
But every damn day, she’s takin’ up space,
Puttin’ her feet on my coffee table like it’s her place.
She’s got somethin’ to say 'bout how I live my life,
From the beer in my fridge to my hard-workin’ wife.
(Chorus)
I got a tank full of gas and a half-baked plan,
Stuff her bags in the bed of my old Dodge Ram.
The open road’s callin’, and I’m hittin’ the track,
Hell, I’ll even pay for the train to take her ass back.
Life’s too short for livin’ this way,
She’s gotta go, there ain’t no damn delay.
Yeah, I got a tank full of gas to get your mama out the house.
(Verse 2)
Every morning it’s the same old shit,
She’s barkin’ orders like she’s runnin’ this ship.
Leaves the sink full of dishes, the remote in her hand,
While I’m bustin’ my ass just to keep up the land.
I’ve been bitin’ my tongue, but I’m about to break,
She’s gotta pack her stuff, for everybody’s sake.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll throw her a map and wish her the best,
It’s time for this bird to leave the damn nest.
(Chorus)
I got a tank full of gas and a full head of steam,
This house ain’t big enough for her and my dreams.
I’ll drop her off in town, wave her goodbye,
And pray to the Lord she don’t come back by.
Life’s too short for livin’ this mess,
Mama needs her own damn address.
Yeah, I got a tank full of gas to get your mama out the house.
(Bridge)
It ain’t about hate, but I need my space,
She’s been wearin’ out her welcome, leavin’ her trace.
I’ll pack her bags, I’ll hold the door,
But I ain’t puttin’ up with this shit no more.
(Chorus)
I got a tank full of gas and my patience is gone,
She’s ridin’ shotgun ‘til the break of dawn.
Got a playlist loaded, playin’ "Take It Easy,"
Mama needs a new home, and I’ll make it breezy.
Life’s too short for livin’ like this,
She’s gotta go, I ain’t gonna miss.
Yeah, I got a tank full of gas to get your mama out the house.
(Outro)
So here’s to freedom and gettin’ things right,
She’ll thank me someday when she’s outta my sight.
I got a tank full of gas, yeah, I’m burnin’ it now,
Tonight’s the night I get your mama out the house.


Tank Full of Gas to Get Your Mama Out of the House

This song was written during a time of loss. The lyrics came from a mixture of deep pain and real hope during the moments of the passing of a loved one. It is emotional, passionate, heartfelt and real life.

The Last Good Bye

The Amen chorus is the eighth and last track on my album Requiem Quia Magnus Vir (Requiem for a Great Man) which you can hear in full here: https://on.soundcloud.com/2vuDi9U9Ry7292NV8

Funny story: This track, along with all the others on this album, was made by A.I. with just me supplying the lyrics and prompts to tell it what I wanted. But when I put in "Amen", the A.I. bot told me I couldn't have it because the word is copyrighted. 😲

So here is how I got around it:

Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men   
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men
Ah ah ah ah men, ah ah ah ah men

8. Amen

Lyrics

I'm batman
I 'aint no rat man
I'm still not fat and I tan
Call the night black clan
Come over here Gotham

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

My training cave is a house
The routine!
Being a parent
To the kids... I'm Batman!
Well... Until I turn Penguin

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

Alfred is bored
This bat don't hire... I'm poor!
'Peugout for missions
Sorry Earth... More emmisions
Where's the joker?
In school... She's 4
Bill Hicks is back but Alma (the best jokes ever), she's more...
Then in an hour, it's mini me Theodore (The fastest at everything)
Then everything too, Matilda (An amazing artist & athlete)
The World is their door

I'm Batman
