INTER-MISSION  - 13.12.24

Skyline Reverie - Horizons (1979) - Slip Through My Fingers

Skyline Reverie - Horizons (1979) - City Lights [U8]

i wrote this song in a random one night session a couple months back, basically the only thing i've written since March. recently submitted to the Infloresce snowdrop festival :)

Lyrics

Jimmy's goin to the strip tonight
got a mighty big sack of cash
Gonna win a lot of chips alright
hits the bar to check the exit plan
At the table, yeah, he shoots the moon
got the pit boss sweatin' and the dealer, too
Got a little something up his sleeve
thinks he's in the clear as he goes to leave

alright

End of the line
hand on his shoulder, the swindle is over
"Sir, can you come with me?"

Oh, mister, if you please
Lord knows money doesn't grow on trees
There has to be that we can make this right
without me dying here tonight

Jimmy's leavin on a ship tonight
all his stuff in a duffel bag
At the docks in a shipping crate
pretty sure he checked the front and back
Skipping town, yeah it aint ideal
got the mob pissed off so he's off to Brazil
Makes a run for the luggage rack
but they're waiting outside with a tater sack

End of the line
hand on his shoulder, the swindle is over
"Sir, can you come with me?"

Oh, mister, if you please
Lord knows money doesn't grow on trees
There has to be that we can make this right
without me dying here tonight

Jimmy

PALM SPRING SONG

I’m goin’ down that highway
Way past the smog of L.A.
I see the windmills now, they whistle out to me
I see the sky so clear
Come with me now, we’re here
I thought I’d try to leave you
each time I tried to free you
There is no other place where I can run away
There is no other space in my heart like yours

Mountains so high you can’t see them
Canyons so low you can’t free them
In every whisper of swaying palm trees
Palm Spring’s my own
I’m coming hone
Yeah, I’m coming home

Desert moon and wild flowers glistening
Feel the clean and vibrant air
Cactus midnight stars are listening to a southwest rare...

There is no other place where I can run away
There is no other space in my own heart just like yours...

Mountains so high you can’t see them
Canyons so low you can’t free them
In every whisper of swaying palm trees
Palm Spring’s my own
I’m coming hone
Palm Spring’s my own
I’m coming hone

Desert moon and wild flowers glistening
Cactus midnight stars are listening to a southwest rare

Palm Springs Song

An observation from a very old person...

YOU GET OLD YOU GET EVERYTHING

You get old 
You get everything
The body naturally breaks down
You get old
You get everything
So best to see me now while I'm still around

I get up
I get dressed
Go about my pedestrian day
I drive west
Listen to some songs from yesterday
While the tears roll down as I go rolling along
I remember what mama used to say...


You get old 
You get everything
The body naturally breaks down
You get old
You get everything
So best to see me now while I'm still around


At the moment things are cruising
All senses locked - in sync - and at bay
Let’s hook up and share some wisdom
Just like my mama used to say

She said…

You get old 
You get everything
The body naturally breaks down
You get old
You get everything
So best to see me now while I'm still around

You Get Old You Get Everything

SPANISH ISLAND

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island

No one likes you
No one cares what you say
There's just something unattractive
Old age as affliction
So cliché

On the highway
No one stays in their lane
Unsafe random fluctuations
Insane, so I

Dig on the guava and the sweet plantain
Down on Spanish Island
Groovy hacienda in the Port of Spain
Down on Spanish Island

On the fairway
Everyone looks the same
There's a quiet desperation a cost
This seclusion for the lost

Drinks at six
Get a load of the time
Better hit the bricks
We stumble down the avenue
Fading away within our gated Xanadu
Our bodies creak
and all our dreams have come unglued
Without a clue
Always me and you

Skinny dipping
Baby's still got an ass
Sit tight till we're sure the moment is right

I miss our steamy rendezvous
I miss that dashing don
that fresh-faced ingénue
For now an island in the sun
will have to do
Some greens and blues
Holding on to you

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 600 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

Yachtley Crew is a Los Angeles area based band performing 70's and early 80's soft rock classics.
