Haiku #249: Don't know about the people, / but all the scarecrows / are crooked

L-Yellow House



Flying among the stars

Back to my past

I know my present

I'll change the future



[Verse]

I'm flying among the stars

In my head, only nothing

Far from my body



[Pre-Chorus]

Back to my past

I know my present

I'll change the future



[Chorus]

Back to my past

I know my present

I'll change the future



[Verse 2]

The light will be my destiny

I abandon the darkness

I fly with my eyes closed



[Pre-Chorus]


Back to my past

I know my present

I'll change the future



Tomorrow you will understand

Volando tra le stelle.mp3

      Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by and listening! This song I wrote back in 2013 and it was just another love song with my favorite color in it for my wonderful wife! Can anyone guess what my favorite color is? Blue is correct! I've written many songs with the color blue in the title like: "Blue, Blue"; "Somewhere In Blue"; "Heavrnly In Blue"; "Big Blue Tree",  ect, ect, well it goes on and on. It's jazzy and easy listening and with NO A.I. can you dig it? I think the inspiration for this one was me asking my lovely wife why she is seldom in blue, or something like that. This is another of my jazzy love songs with a Latin rhythm to it. Charlie sang it beautifully. This song was written in the tradition of "The Great American Songbook". You know, like Gershwin, Berlin, Porter used to write. Very old fashioned but I remember I added a Sitar to it to give it that dreamy sound and I think I used heavy echo on Charlie's vocal at some point in the song too!

      The video I put together last year at some point in time but can't recall too much about it, just a beautiful woman in a beautiful blue dress. It drops tomorrow on YouTube, be there or be square! Not too much audio or video effects in this one. After "Broken Mirrors" I think we needed a light fluffy little love song with my favorite color in it! One can't get too depressed, you know! Thanks again and take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“SELDOM IN BLUE”

TAKE THE STARDUST FROM THE SKY,    
TWINKLE IT AND SPRINKLE IT IN YOUR EYES,   
WHY IS IT I,     
SELDOM SEE YOU IN BLUE? 
     
WHEN YOU SMILED AT ME THAT WAY,     
SPARKLING SAPPHIRE AND OCEAN SPRAY,     
WHY IS IT I,   
SELDOM SEE YOU IN BLUE?   

COOL AS A SOOTHING SUMMER RAIN,        
OR A HAUNTING REFRAIN,         
A CRYSTAL MIST FROM HEAVEN,           
YOU ENVELOPE ME IN BLUE, 
                  
STRANGE WHENEVER I’M WITH YOU,  
MY GREY WORLD TAKES ON A DIFFERENT HUE,    
WHY IS IT I,   
SELDOM SEE YOU IN BLUE?    
PLEASE TELL ME WHY,   
ARE YOU SELDOM IN BLUE,
IN BLUE,     
IN BLUE,    
WHY ARE YOU SELDOM IN BLUE?

"SELDOM IN BLUE" (VIDEO - https://youtu.be/XxGVYr1urs4)

"The legend of Samson revolves around his incredible, divinely-granted strength, which was linked to his Nazirite vow to keep his hair uncut. Betrayed by his lover Delilah, who was paid by the Philistines to discover the source of his power, Samson's hair was cut while he slept. This act stripped him of his strength, leading to his capture, blinding, and imprisonment by the Philistines. However, Samson's hair grew back, and with a final prayer for strength, he brought down the temple pillars, killing himself and his enemies. "


Eh... fuck that... I'll stay wimp thanks

Thankfully I have my health and the hair had to go as I didn't want to look like Francis of Assissi 😆


Lyrics
Oh Samson power
Hair too long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Should I miss the hair
I guess not now
To Baldy Paddy
Sing it loud

So much for dredds
Good scalp was judge
mood Marley tempered
Baldy nudge
Is it old age
Ha! Say soldier phase
Organic bin
Send hair to save

Oh Samson power
Hair was long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Why fight nature
Nature is you
Hair or not
There's strenght in clue

Oh Samson power
Hair too long
Oh hippie follicles
Messy and Long
Should I miss the hair
I guess not now
To Baldy Paddy
Sing it loud

"Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal force back on the first object, but in the opposite direction."

Thank you Sir Isaac. What a guy!

We have genius like Newton and idiocy like war... I take america's drama selling name of their bombing of Iraq wimpishly called shock and awe at the time and take that power back! 💪🏽

We need to shock and awe each-other with love not hate! So time to deliver the opposite of the pain that is being dished on this planet. It's all love if we want that but maybe it needs to be sold to some people! Peace out... I'll be one musical sales man anyways.... Schweeeeeet


My rule for selling. Sell something to someone only if they need it and you genuinely believe that to be the case. The advert is your heart then and we have no issue. Sell for money only! No good

The image is a painting my Auntie Helen gave me for my 21st birthday #24 years ago. Thanks Helen. It has what I think is a Jay feather 🪶 and a piece of turf from an Irish bog. These items are accompanied by a 528Hz tuning fork which the song is built on...
_____________________________

The Painting = Love
The Feather = Life
The Tuning Fork = Science
The Turf = Earth 🌍 
_____________________________

"Frequency of 528 Hz also reduces total concentration of reactive oxidative species in brain tissue. Prolonged exposure to this sound wave showed reduction of anxiety related behaviors in rats." Interesting 🧂

At the end of the written lyrics I made a big note... "Use sounds from all creeds in this song".
I'm not saying I'll do it but we need to take the power of prayer back and get that energy flowing again for people. We need to sing science and sing what we know about the human condition so people know that that is enough to dedicate their hearts and souls to. I used instrumentation from churches, mosques & a Chinese kit... Trying to tune us all together that's all. Let's go 🎶 Music is our answer for unity. It is the only entity we all listen to. Big cohorts of our collective switch off from all other absolute mind sets! Time to help them find their truth and tune out from the fud and tune into reality.

My guess is when we all tune in to the actual universe... Spirituality will remain as strong as ever and grow to be a more integral part of society. We are spirits alive for each other and every single soul that has passed on exists in our DNA as potential energy to help us. We are our own Gods. God is life 🧬 🔆 The focus can be good... Light 🕯️ That's it and for me that's enough. But I'm pea head so what do I know!🪶🧂

Lyrics

Love to right
Love to left
Unlucky labels 
Inner theft
There is absolute or couldn't care
Both miss target breathing air

Tuned together
The middle moves
With a centered east
One circle soothes
Tuning together
Concession key
'Come centered west
Inner core of 'me'

Life to north
Life to south
Core principles find Planets mouth
Never certain
Just Earth's opinion!
Kind Gaia tribe🫡
Tamed ancient minnion🪶🧬

Tuned together
To field we fuse
As kardia core
Good spheres peruse
Tuning together
Observe as Sea
Love harmony
Happen
Be salient me

Life inside
Let just love out
'Be kind to difference' ~ Planet shout!
One thing certain
We have a rock
Newton sends his regards with Awe and Shock!

Tuned together
We're voice for weak
With zeroed fear
Go blind deceit
Ah, perfect pitch
We're tuned to true
Pure human stitch
Smooth strings of you

Life of light
Resonant projection
Good Planet pines intent perfection
Matter not with worry war
Let's be inner peace filled Thor

Standing waves
There's the peace
Observers saved
Just Light relief
The clearest clue now for our youth
We lose belief to evolve real truth

Love from center
Love from middle
We are Golden Ratio like riddle
Life like curve
One start one end
How smooth depends
Be selfless friend

Tuned together...

Chapter 243 of 266

Frequencies are everything.
Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

The TAFFETA Albums each contain 15 consecutive tracks and are available for free, exclusively on Bandcamp.

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

Scarecrows are people too... [naviarhaiku249]
