Rendez vous Manqué

Rendez-Vous Manqué (1984)

Lest we forget
We need to remember
We see the signs
And we act upon it
Why does the system
Where is the mind
Where is the world gonna be
When we are all left behind

Do we care?

What are you thinking
In that mind of yours
Do you think you could get away
From it all

Lest we forget
The crimes of the system
We never forget 
We're never in them

Do we care?

Children blown to bits
We're all in fits
What can we do?
So many miles away
Thousands of miles away
What can we do?

Do we care?

There's people 
Who will pay for these crimes
Little children blown to smithereens

It's on the news
Do we care?
I'd like to think we care...enough

To do something about it
Do we laugh at those marchers
Those marching people

Do we care?

out of rope

C I miss the sun
Am don’t know where he’s gone
F but not as much as I G7 miss you

C I stay indoors
Am pace these floors
F Forgot what it is to G7 kiss you

Em I know time is F running out
Em don’t know what this F song’s about
except G7 growing old
dm7 growing G cold x2

C There’s less time ahead
than Em what’s gone before. 
F What will we do 
with the G7 years left in store?

C Use them or lose them, 
Em that’s what they say. 
F Keep on breathing
till G7 that judgement day 

C And I don’t want F hope
C I won’t F despair
C am out of F rope
but I don’t G7 care

for these C changing F times
the C digital F stew
I C read the F signs 
to get a G7 clue

Em Just another empty F weekend. 
Em Nothing to do but F sleep. 
Em These dark and F wintry days. 
Em How slowly, how mercilessly they F creep. 

Fmaj7 I can’t make the day G anew; Am
Am has it all run out at G last?
Fmaj7 All is silent in this G listless Am room.
Am I live with shadows of the G past.
Of the past  F G

(repeat ‘there’s less time ahead’ section + add)
No, I don’t want hope / I won’t despair
am out of rope / but I don’t care /
I just don’t F (G bass) care. (E shape one fret up, soft)

Creative Spirit Online: "Colorful and engaging from beginning to end, this is the latest of Robert John Brooks’ virtuosic offerings. The three movements (Rondo, Variations and Finale) are scored for large orchestra—a twenty-minute journey through sometimes tender, often energetically playful, occasionally threatening, and ever-changing musical textures. Brooks’ musical gift lies in his ability to create highly structured, clearly defined musical gestures within the context of a challenging and thoughtful harmonic and rhythmic language."

“Contrapunctus III” was completed in February 2024 in Fairview, TX. The work is in three movements: Rondo, Variations, and Finale'. Performance time is about 20 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score are available now and instrumental parts will soon be available soon from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com.

Give Me One Reason (Tracy Chapman Cover)

Hello dear Listeners,

Indeed, it's been a long while since Tim and I posted New Music together as  Shekinah Fire*, but today's the day!

This improvisation was recorded by our one Stereo ZOOM Mic on April 8th during the Solar Eclipse. 

I am on Tim's ancient upright Grand Piano and he's playing his Telecaster electric Guitar. What came forth as we played were Allelujahs for  the Joy of Spring and the wonders of improvisation.

In case you're wondering about the title, the jewel-like 'sparks' made visible in the Sun's Corona just before it reached Totality then as it exited (as captured in the Photo), are called 'Baily's Beads'. We hope you'll hear them as the music unfolds.

May you enJOY!

Baily's Beads * Shekinah Fire

Disaster Date By Massimo Primiero
Vocal performing By Lina Arnone and Luca Giordano

Business and Racing day
Walking in rough seas and no place to stop
Jump in a chaos consuming your life
Jump in a chaos and destroy your life

Something
Goes
Wrong
By now

Trouble
Exchanged
With
needful
lie masquerading here



Dreams are cut from a false preamble
Toys are forgot
Eyes lost for a stupid running
They take your soul away
Fiction of progress deceiving our 
defined life.

Disaster date, Disaster date, Disaster date

Something
Goes
Wrong
By now

Confusion
Exchanged
With
needful
lie masquerading here


Business and Racing day
A billions stupid masks to play the day
Missiles in your head
Jump in a chaos and destroy the life

Disaster date, Disaster date

Date appointments are to deal
Everybody wait for you
date appointments are to deal
Rollercoaster in agony


Disaster Date

Doing this online electronic music production course, and this is the first track coming out of it. The basic adventure was to avoid playing real instruments.

Apologies that I haven't been active here for some time, needed a break and now this course keeps me busy. I know that I have missed a truckload of cool songs, but I will catch up with them soon, promise!

The Mental State ft. Holden & The Caulfields

Welcome! I play many guitars, but my favorite is a blond 1973 Telecaster.

I have had the privilege to collaborate with some fine musicians here on soundcloud; I sincerely thank them all. 


Trend kindness. :)
