PROGRAM NOTE
As a follow-up to our song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble (or piano), Robert and I  agreed the concept of five characters looking for love online should have a male counterpart. Written for baritone and chamber ensemble, In Real Life II looks at five contemporary men clicking their way to second chances and romance. In “No Frog” we meet a prototypical player, a guy who fluffs his profile, but the truth keeps slipping out. The tone shifts with “Sola Fide,” in which a U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan explains the tattoo on his chest and the wounds inside. An older gentleman envisions one last fling in the irreverent “Die with Me.” In “Still Vamping,” a gay man muses on his start-and-stop romantic history. Finally, in “Nice-Plus,” an everyday guy reveals a hidden passion. In Real Life II was commissioned by American Modern Ensemble with funding from the Doctorow Family Foundation.

Stay Out - Combstead / Robert Grigg

Went away for a few days and stayed at a house in middle of nowhere, there was nothing around but cows, on the side in the house was a little information sheet about the place, the lyrics are loosely based on that.

LYRICS

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up a family where no one could know. 

And, the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
Oooooooo. 

There are herbs on the hillside and fish in the stream, 
There's game to be poaching to make good the lean. 
All the animals crowd as the north-easter blows.
The short days of winter approach from below. 

And the cows stand and stare through your face. 
The cows that belong to this place.
The cows do not care how you feel.
The cows will not move from these fields.
Ooooooo-ah. 

And the hills do not know,
of the valley(s) below. (x2) 

ahhhhhh (x4) 

The cows do not give much away.
The cows in the wind do not sway.
The cows are not ever forlorn.
The cows stay right where they are born.
Oooooooo. 

Oh, to be free,
in the wild valley.
Now, look at me.
With my land, far from sea. 

Oh, look at me.
No stopping me now.
Oh, look at me.
With my field; full of cows. 

And, the hills do not know,
of the valley below. 

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up his family where no one could know. 

And the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
The cows do not show on their face.
What they think of this place.
Ooooooooo.

Snyder & Storino - BIG BASS BLUES (1986 Instrumental)

A song for the weekend at the end of the world

LYRICS:

You got the last space
on the red-eye to the rat race
but they went and lost your suitcase now
Give me some headspace
and I'll keep it in my bad place
So you can wipe that look on your face out

The weekend's here
and they're calling time at the bar now
We're gonna salsa dance in the fallout
And there's another bomb on the way
Okay

You got a new name
so you can take the last one in vain
You know profanity's a new way out

The dog is too tame
to protect you from your own shame
They're gonna beat you at your own game now

The weekend's here
and they're calling time at the bar now
We're gonna salsa dance in the fallout
And there's another bomb on the way
Okay
Asleep all year in a Dali-painted aurora
Between the neon flora and fauna
You'll feel your sanity fading away
Saturday
The weekend's here
and they're calling time at the bar now
We're gonna salsa dance in the fallout
And there's another bomb on the way
Okay
Asleep all year in a Dali-painted aurora
Watching the city lights getting smaller
On a midnight plane from the bay
Saturday

Saturday
