Symbolic folk ramblings with one of my own English style reels for the mandolin solo. Hope you enjoy  - and don't go stealing from Demons, they really don't like it!

I travelled here and there
A word in human shape
I stole the demon's share
The rest was mine to take
I crossed midwinter's borders
And wove my smuggler's art
Like rust in holy waters
Black sails in happenstance

I dined outside the palace
The statues danced all night
Courtesans conjured malice
Their shadows turned white
Priests and malefactors
Crossed hearts and crossed their blades
I turned off for the moorlands
Left the lost with the saved

The Lost and the Saved

Remember Adam Sandler's "Opera Man?" We'll, this is a frustrated opera singer who's not able to fulfill her dreams AS an opera singer, but tries in three inept languages anyway!
 Lots of us did get very hungry in the middle of those performances, didn't we ?!"Oh, Solo Mio" or "I Like to Eat!" Just Had to put it on  you guys! I couldn't resist after hearing Pavarotti and the Three Tenors!


Busy trying to make people laugh, during a time of hazardous hurricanes and devastating news from Afghanistan.
Hard to stay focused on music during these time, yes ?
Stay Healthy AND  Busy, my friendS!
Two singers who helped me out live in Louisiana and Soundcloud is the only little bit of fun and folic I've been able to allow myself to indulge in for the past year!

Here we go!

"Oh, Solo Mio" or "I Like to Eat!"

Extract from the Album "Mutations" for The Four Seasons, Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, L'inverno - Winter - III. Allegro

Neoclassical Version (Electro + Instruments + Percussions)

Here is a 3th excerpt from the 4 seasons of Vivaldi that I renamed "Mutations" because the music is in perpetual evolution. 
I also gave a name (in French - An artistic code that you will find easily) with each movement, it is a personal feeling only. I spent a lot of time in these almost 3 minutes, looking for the power of summer that ends. I hope I have not betrayed that unbelievable great Master whom I admire so much.

Dear friends, new reports reveal that large ships are cleaning their tanks and releasing large amounts of toxins into the Baltic Sea!
The Baltic Sea is an inland sea with narrow passages for fresh water. Eutrophication and other litter have caused this sea to nearly die! There are many countries that lie by this sea and many rivers release dirty water. Translation into English below.

Östersjön
Strax öster om vårt land det finns ett hav som
lider svårt för människans skull
Vi vill leva så flott utan att börsen den blir tom
och vi vill slänga allt vad vi inte vill ha
på enklaste sätt
det rinner ju ut
och havet tar emot
allt skräpet som sjunker så fint till havets djup

Vi har ett problem, det finns så många
som måste komma överens hur det ska va.
Det är inte så lätt då vissa har det så svårt 
att acceptera att vi måste ändra väg
för att slänga vårt skräp.
Vissa tror det går bra
och att allt det försvinner
bara vi inte ser det, då är allt borta för gott

Vi släpper ut allt från fosfor till giftig metall
som kan lagras i fiskarnas kropp
och då vill ingen äta upp vad detta havet kan ge
och de som lever av vad havet alltid gett
de får sitta still
och de får ingen lön
och fattiga de blir
det är så det blir när havet drar en blek och sista suck 


Approximate translation into English:
Baltic Sea
Just east of our country there is a sea that
suffers severely for the sake of man
We want to live so nicely without the purs running out
and we want to throw away everything we do not want
in the simplest way
it flows out
and the sea receives
all the rubbish that sinks so nicely to the depths of the sea

We have a problem, there are so many
who must agree on how it should be.
It is not so easy as some have it so hard
to accept that we must change course
to throw away our rubbish.
Some think it's going well
that all disappears
as long as we do not see it, then everything is gone for good

We release everything from phosphorus to toxic metal
which can be stored in the body of the fish
and then no one wants to eat what this sea can provide
and those who live by what the sea has always given
they are allowed to sit still
and they get no pay
and poor they become
that's how it is when the sea draws a pale and last sigh

Östersjön (the Baltic sea - Lyrics in English below)

This tune was made famous by The Beach Boys in 1963. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #406 by The Beach Boys

With your back against the wall
There’s no way you can fall
But there’s nowhere you can go

With your hands over your eyes
You won’t be blinded by the light
But you’ll never see the glow

Holdin it in
You’re gonna burst
In flames

Playing it safe
It’s the most dangerous
Game

You never roll the dice
So you never pay the price
But you’ll never see em land

I always held my cards
But it never got me far
Full deck of empty hands

There ain’t no falling down down
If you never leave the ground, the ground

Holdin it in
You’re gonna burst
In flames

Playing it safe
It’s the most dangerous
Game

You said you’re not afraid of heights
You’re just afraid of depth
So come and tell me all your lies
And we’ll give truth a rest
But if I leave it on the line
Would you risk it all this time?
Would you risk it all this time?

Hold it all in
You’re gonna burst
Into flames

Playing it safe
It’s the most dangerous
Game

Short Garage Rock song, condensed from a long Heavy Metal song. That we turned from a metal song into a fun garage rock song.

The Slip

A song about frustration and designer labels.

Bad Boy
In a snapback cap
Doesn’t know
Why he gets mad
Oh no, it’s just not working

Mrs Diesel
Flips her lid
Can’t forgive
What Bad Boy did
Oh no, it’s just not working 

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f' christsakes
Blood just pumping through the heart

Super dry
She breaks a sweat
Has’t had 
A baby yet
Oh no,  it’s just not working   

Mr Umbro
Blows out air
Pissed he has to 
Take the stairs
Oh no, the lift’s not working

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f'christsakes
Blood just pumping through a heart
 
Scoot & Ride
Pulls out a gun
Still young enough
To have some fun
But for his Mum, it’s just not working

Belly Bandit
Looses faith
How come he’s put on
So much weight
Oh no, it’s just not working

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f'christsakes
Blood just pumping through a heart

It's Just Not Working!

We make soundtracks for scenes in movies we imagine.
