Silver and Gold

In 2020 I visited the Isle of Whithorn on the Solway in Scotland.  In the middle of the night I woke up and saw a Little Egret standing still on the rocks below.  the place was so full of atmosphere with St Ninian's chapel high up on the headland keeping watch for the fishing boats to return safely to the harbour.   The next morning, I was inspired to write a poem about what I'd seen.  I've finally made the poem into a song.  Layering up tracks using my Yamaha P121 piano and Roland interface with SM 58 mic which is popping a bit and using audacity to record.  I enjoyed layering up the harmonies and keyboard voices on this.

He is generous enough to allow me to use his track with my poem. Thank you!
Narration: I wrote this poem nearly thirty years ago, embroiled in all the aftermath messiness of a split-up. It was first published in a collection of poetry  bearing a line of this poem in the title that was published under the pen-name 'sonogara' which I had used during that period - three copies sold ;-)

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

Tjost

sie, in seide gehüllt
blüte um blüte um blatt
ihr stolz hat wolken gestillt
die sind nun müde und matt

er, aus höllen empört
von glut im kometenkranz
und plasmaströmen genährt
halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz

noch tanzen roh die säbel
noch rast ein loser sturm
verschlungen hängen nebel
im windschnitt hinterm turm

Tjost - with guitar by Ingvar Tautra

A Hole in my Shoe  // Jeamland & joerxworx

A song about love and friendship and whether they go together

Lyrics:
Find a lover lose a friend
got no friendships left to spend
I thought I would know you better
I thought we were growing closer
Keep no secrets from each other
Share your troubles blow your cover
Be my lover and be my friend

Take a long ride in the hills
Nature's touch can cure your ills
Let the cold winds blow about you
Realise that they can't hurt you
Keep no secrets from each other
Share your troubles blow your cover
Be my lover and be my friend

Find yourself a hand to cling to
I can find an ear to sing to
Be a lover and be my friend

Find a lover lose a friend
I wonder will it ever end?
Gather all my friends together
To see me through the winter weather
They're all tied up in romances
Telling me to take my chances
Find a lover you may find a friend
