You are my ocean

Waiting for the moment
That’s sometimes hard to find
moving in slow motion
weighing heavy on my mind

I am out of practice
I’m even out of time
I  feel like a prisoner
doing time

you and I went swimming
in the deep blue sea at night
The nights’ stars lit the ocean
They know who we are

I am like a runner
running out of time
I am like a sculptor
running out of lime

Let’s start at the beginning
let’s not contemplate the end
And forget what was in the meantime
maybe we  can still be friends

Looking at the moment
What would we sacrifice
You are my ocean
you’re my star filled sky

I waited at the station
to find you were somebody new  
that time and space had changed us
you weren’t how I remembered you

and I must let you wander
this earth on your own
that friends don’t stay forever
sometimes they're just gone

You Are My Ocean

It is a collaboration of band sound and synthesizer. It uses a lot of odd time signatures. I was conscious of progressive rock.

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Not the best of days today, 
Bailiff breaking down my door.
Ain’t got no bread to pay
What he was asking for.
Stole my only chair away
It’s why I’m sittin' on the floor.
With all I got to see me right, this statement of arrears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Maybe time to hit the road
In my baby Buick Six.
Transmission fell out months ago
Standing up on bricks.
Seems every turn I’m knocked down low
By the devil’s dirty tricks.
Now all I got to see me right is a box of shredded gears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Chicken shack exploded
Feathers coming down for days
My moonshine still was overloaded
Time to mend my ways
Guess I always knowed it,
Life with the demon never pays
Now, all I got to get me through the night is an empty can of beer,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Never meant to shoot my hound,
I was aiming for the wife.
Seems I’m not the hottest shot in town.
Ain’t that the story of my life.
If there’s any bad luck kickin’ ‘round
It’ll head my way tonight.
Hell, all I got to see me right is a pocketful of tears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Zut: apart from the French mild expletive (Heck!)...I recently discovered the fictional game 'Zut' as described in an Amor Towles novel 'A Gentleman in Moscow'. This has two characters competing by describing variations of an agreed theme until one runs out of ideas. 
I had a similar feeling when producing this track (as I often do) - I loved the main riff but wanted to make variations in harmony and accompaniment. Eventually I had to give up (zut!).. but happily settled on those presented.

GOODMORNING HEARTACHE **CECILIA & RICO**

T’AS VU GLISSER L’OMBRE DE L’AMOUR
TISSU PLISSÉ LE LONG DE TON MUR
AMOUR FROISSÉ SOLDAT SANS ARMURE
JOUJOU CASSÉ SOUS LES NUAGES LOURDS

ET TELLE CIRCÉ SON ŒIL QUI REND SOURD
ENSORCELÉ ELLE T’A ÇA C’EST SÛR
TISSU FROISSÉ LE CŒUR EN FISSURES
ELLE T’A LAISSÉ CASSÉ POUR TOUJOURS

ELLE S’EFFACÉE LAISSANT SUR TON MUR
OISEAU BLESSÉ L’OMBRE DE L’AMOUR
AFFAIRE CLASSÉE ALLER SANS RETOUR
JOUJOU  BLESSÉ SOLDAT SANS ARMURE

ELLE A TRACÉ LA ROUTE ET CEINTURE
MINUIT PASSÉ JUSQU’AU PETIT JOUR
TU VOIS GLISSER L’OMBRE DE L’AMOUR
EN CŒURS FLÉCHÉS GRAFFITIS RATURES

T’AS BEAU MIAULER SONGER AU FUTUR
CROIRE ESPÉRER LE CIEL RESTE SOURD
ELLE S’EST CASSÉE CASSÉE POUR TOUJOURS
SANS MÊME LAISSER UN MOT SUR TON MUR

CHASSÉ-CROISÉ AMOUR SANS RETOUR 
PERDANT PLACÉ FOURBUE LA MONTURE
TA PAUME LASSÉE DE BONNE AVENTURE
TE DIT ASSEZ LES OMBRES QUI COURENT

L'OMBRE DE L'AMOUR (Lyrics)

'TheDelta57' came up with a great idea for a track and was kind enough to let me get my hands on it. When I had finished playing around, I asked Skyline Tigers if she was interested in coming up with some lyrics (shown below) and singing on it. Luckily for everyone, she was and wow, what a fantastic job she did. Her voice is just incredible on this.

Lyrics below, by Skyline Tigers:

 You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

You belong to me
Till I set you free 
You belong to me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

Feel how I want you (x3)
You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

That brief encounter
That single hour

That brief encounter
That single hour
Giving me power
Devour
The pleasure and the pain

Satisfaction

I want you baby
