En souvenir de Maman

Original song by Coral.

Serene angel
Are you there in the trees in the breeze? 
Glorious angel
Hear the choir feel the air that I breath

Turn your head toward the sunlight
Turn your head toward the sunlight

Radiant memories
I thought I’d seen you for real in the haze
Cherished memories
I Thought I’d heard you for real I’m shivering now

But no I’m not afraid 
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

Guardian angel
Do you know how I feel how I am?
Lovely angel
Do you know you are there in every prayers?

But no I’m not afraid 
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

Lead me angel
Through the green through the time through my soul
Holy angel
I can feel you are here I’m shredding tears of joy

So no I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on
No I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to carry on

A Walk With Thee

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

EYES WIDE OPEN

The leaves are changing
There’s a chill in the air
So many people
Walking the same path

I hope they know
I hope they see

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

I’m on another hill
I watch as they pass me by
They seem to know
They have their destination

I hope they know
I hope they see

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

Such a wondrous time
So many colors
So many lives

All joined together
Some left behind
There’ll be another day
Another day

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

Eyes Wide Open

This is one about the election. The first line, I heard a lot on the news and talk shows right after the outcome, reassuring worried people that our country will make it through. I am not convinced we will, either way, it’s going to be a totally different America after these 4 years.

This song seemed a little over the top, so I went ahead and put in a gospel choir and a searing guitar lead just to make sure lol.

Sorry I haven't been on SC very much lately, I'm learning a new software app for my paying job and it is not making life easier, like I thought it would. I will be back soon!

And please pardon the vocals

I believe we’ll be okay
We’ll win this fight another day
Still, I would do it all again, because right is on our side,
And the truth can turn the tide
 
When kindness wins over greed
 It’s true that love is all you need
But If fear rules your life, your humanity will leave you
And then it’s hard to see the light
   
It seems to me // we’re all in this together
Money never will define a person's worth
And I realize, that nothing lasts forever
But we were meant to be good stewards of the Earth

I believe in you
And I hope that you believe in me, too
You  see, love has not died
It is lost somewhere inside
Our  spark will  bring it new life
So don’t give up, neither will I
Be who you        are and never hide 
If we raise our voices to the sky 
Love will not die!

We'll Be Okay

The Oldest Nightmare

Oh that woman
Stole the piano but
I love her more
Than one extra day
I don’t know how
It got to be
As big as it did
As big as it did
Oh oh
Oh that woman
Stole the piano but
I love her more
Than one extra day

But

Oh that woman
Stole the piano but
I love her more
Than one hextra day
Be not afeard
The isle is full of noises
Sounds and sweet airs
That give delight
Oh that woman
Stole the piano but
I love her more
Than one extra day
She washes me down
With soap and snow and
We talk of heaven
But when can we go
Oh oh

SOME STORIES CAN’T BE TOLD
LIKE SOME LEGENDS OF OLD
YOU JUST HAVE TO UNFOLD THEM
UNTIL THEY NEVER END

JE M’AIME UN PEU BEAUCOUP A LA FOLIE PAS DU TOUT
PASSIONNÉMENT COMME UN FOU ET JE ME PENDS A MON COU

JE M’AIME ET TOUT À COUP AH JE NE M’AIME PLUS DU TOUT
JE TOMBE À MES GENOUX HIBOUX CAILLOUX JOUJOUX

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT 
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT

SOME PEOPLE CAN’T BE TOLD
je t’aime un peu beaucoup
SOME HEARTS OF GOLD
à la folie toujours et partout
ALL YOU CAN DO IS HOLD THEM
comme un fou
UNTIL THE VERY END
je t’aime un point c’est tout

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.
