LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

For a broken relationship, some slowly sinking ship or what we hope will only be a deadly, deathly blip.

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink”. - John 7:37


Bring the thirsty and let them drink.
Come over here and get a drink. 
This man says, “come to me and drink”.
And suddenly I had to turn and stop and think.
And face all my uncertainty.
And wonder about eternity.
And where to place my hope.

He says it's living water- 
flowing like a river-
through the life of the believer.
In the spirit of the savior. 
Poured into his endeavors-
With the seeker, the warrior, 
The thinker, deceiver. 
The never-receiver.
The almost-believer.

It's a life inside that’s more than you.
Extending through, out past your view.
Running past the walls of you.
Like the streams and rivers like to  do.

P.S. I painted the picture in 1994 and recorded the song in 2020.  So technically this thing took 26 years before it was done ;-)

the great day

Being October, I'm incredibly late for this July collaboration prompt by @user295849933, but the melody of this piece has captured me. It's so haunting and beautiful, in fact, that I did... nothing, musically speaking.

Well, except the short intro, but that's minimal.

Initially I wanted to play the bass over it, but then I got the idea of turning it into voice. So I converted the piano piece to MIDI using an online tool, which did a half-decent job. I then loaded the MIDI part in Synthesizer V Studio (a kick-ass vocal synth by Dreamtonics), cleaned it up to be strictly monophonic, made subtle changes, added a bit of drama, and let the synthetic voice of Eleanor Forte sing it.

Then I added the same MIDI in Ardour, this time keeping all the polyphonic conversion artefacts, and had it played by Boing2 (an even more kick-ass bowed string virtual instrument by Xoxos).

The piano part is the original playing by Douglas. All I did was layering them together.

The result, in my opinion, is deliciously surreal. It has a nice pathos to it, and it's hilarious in some passages. All in all, I find it extremely pleasant :-)
