Name: eternity by noni
Duration: 1 min 6 s
Description: I am devoting this piece to someone who has fractured my wings.

[Verse]
With a giggle, and a wiggle 
She slips and slides across that, Chevy bench seat 
Curvy hips 
Cherry lips 
She crooks her index finger
With them French tips 

[VERSE 2]

I understand what that foreign nail
is sayin'
I’m readin' it right 
in the glow of the dashboard light

Don’t even need Rosetta Stone
it's sayin,  baby kiss me 
I’m yours, take me home,
(say no more) 

Yeah! 

[Chorus]
Now, I’ve been called, a lot of things  
since the day I was born 
Rug rat, Pip squeak, big shot, son, 
Here comes trouble, brother, Bubba, 
Son of a gun, honey, baby, Hey Mr. Drama,  
Son of a   ****
Son of a   ****
sorry Mama!
Think of any name You can
Just call me a happy man 
I'm a happy man
Yeah, I'm a happy man!

 
[Instrumental]
 
[Verse 3]
Cold beer, hot mud 
My girl's  ridin  shot gun
Short shorts-tan legs 
Bumpin up against mine 
(I don’t mind)
white wall tires 
Keeping perfect time  
Crossing the Mississippi/Alabama  line

[Verse 4]
She sees me smile 
out of the corner of her eye 
She laughs and says
 “ baby, what‘s up” ?  
her smile hits me like an upper cut 
I love hearing  her laugh 
She knows the answer
before she asked

[Chorus]
Now, I’ve been called, a lot of things  
since the day I was born 
Rug rat, Pip squeak, big shot, son, 
Here comes trouble, brother, Bubba, 
Son of a gun, honey, baby, Hey Mr. Drama,  
Son of a  ***
Son of a  ***
Son of a  *** 
Sorry Mama !
Think of any name You can
Just call me a happy man 
I'm a happy man
Yeah, I'm a happy man!
 
[bridge]
There are no words to explain 
the happiness she brings
even if I could 
I wouldn't change a thing
She loves me, I love her  
 I don't mean maybe
She's, my baby!

I'm a happy man !
Yeah, I'm a happy man!
I'm a happy man!

[Bridge}

She can tell a blatant  lie 
And make it sound so sweet 
Says she can see the road 
Much better, sittin in the middle seat  
next to me 
See what I mean?

yeah !


[Bridge]
Now, I’ve been called, a lot of things  
since the day I was born 
Rug rat, Pip squeak, big shot, son, 
Here comes trouble, brother, Bubba, 
Son of a gun, honey, baby, Hey Mr. Drama,  
Son of a ****
Son of a ****
Son of  a ****
Son of a ***
sorry Mama !
Think of any name You can
Just call me a happy man  
Yeah, I’m a happy man

Damn.. I'm a happy man !  ; )

HAPPY MAN

When everything good is perverted
And every loving thought is diverted
By the hatred of a few who can put their hands in their wallet
And buy out all the grace and all the beauty that is in this world
I’ll be there for her, and Ì’ll be there for him and I’ll be there for them

You’ll be there for her too and be there for him too and we’ll all be there for them
And we wont’t move an inch, no we won’t flinch a pinch
Cause their wallet are full but their hearts contain only void
And they can dig  in their pockets as deep as they can, 
But they’ll never dig deep enough and find money enough 
To buy your heart and my heart and their heart

Cause our hearts are not for sale and their currency is monkey money and it has no value here
There can be kindness in subversion, but there will always be subversion in kindness
Cause kindness is subversion

Love to my sisters and love to my brothers
Trans rights are human rights

KINDNESS=SUBVERSION

Slightly whimsical with a dark gothic, melancholy twist. Piano and symphony instrumental

Perseverance

You Got To Love Me

Do I seem lighter now?
Do I pirouette into the room?
Have the shades all been ripped away?
Are the bleeding hearts now in bloom?
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Tonight

Do I seem happy now?
Am I now a joyful sight?
I think I used to be funny
Let's see if I am when I see you tonight
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Lovely, the way your skin adheres to mine
Lovely, the hills I trace down your spine
Lovely, all the ways you are tonight, on this

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
When we burn most bright


A Torch in the Night

«A distant call for a close encounter.
The Salamandra Duo presents us with a true and complete instrumental dialogue: At times questioning, at others imperative, but always peremptory
in the nuances of rhythm and the layers of dialogue it offers us».
𝘕𝑢𝘯𝑜 𝑀𝘢𝑛𝘨𝑎𝘴 𝘝𝑖𝘦𝑔𝘢𝑠

«Distant Call is an album created remotely, cooked about 2 years ago by drum recordings by João Svayam (three drum tracks) and the additions of various instruments by Leonel Cardoso (who recycled these three drum tracks to create these themes that we have here today, in addition to other b sides). By that time both were collaborating on a improvisation band called Salamandra, connected to our sister label Partícula Records.
Distant Call is just like a time travel: between pure science fiction and impossible-to-deny facts born from any conspiracy theory.»
𝘕𝘢̄𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶

«As if two salamanders from a larger group decided to create a new flock to explore more individual questions of their existence, this Distant Call was born. It's not the first, and it certainly won't be the last, Salamandra album that I've been asked to listen to and write about... And I always have this feeling of fulfillment and certainty that everything in the Universe is in its correct order: even when it involves some pathology of dissociation. An amazing work of recycling sounds»

Calling from a distant place

Adagio of Life (Frank Mehl Remix) (2024) - A trance tribute to life
Adagio of Life is a trance anthem reflecting life's ups and downs, and the start of a new and hopeful chapter. Majestic orchestral arrangements meet uplifting trance, creating an energetic and melancholic vibe. This song both captures moments of triumph and sorrow with breathtaking melodies and dramatic build-ups.
Frank Mehl remixed this song for my 20th anniversary album. It is a epic blend of soundtrack with modern trance music.
