En Valsmelodi (Nils Ferlin and Lillebror Söderlund)

Les moulins de mon coeur

Waiting is watching every move,
you could be around just that corner.
I watch each way every single one move,
everybody looks just like you when I’m waiting.

Waiting is watching every move,
you could be around just that corner.
I watch each way every single leg move,
everybody walks just like you when I’m waiting.

And I’m always too late,
but you’re worse.
I know waiting well,
‘cause I get there first.

When you’re around
the city is just perfect.
When you’re around 
people have their ice-creams anyway.

But I can’t say that I’m the same way when you could be, 
when you could be around just that corner.

Oh, everybody’s selling a painting or a necklace on this sidewalk,
everybody’s passing right by me but I don’t walk.
Oh, because my mind is fixed on every corner,
‘cause you could be around just that corner.

When You're not Around

One of our favorite songs, about the strip mining of the Appalachian Mountains.  Janet singing Melody, Vicki low harmony, Alice high harmony.... Steve Hennefeld and Janet on guitars, Patrick Callanan on Bass.

Practice session

Black Water- a Jean Ritchie song

DYING TO LIVE

If you don't already know....
that you were born into escrow
your 'twin' birth salvaged for surety
sold as stock and bond in the financial city

The Holy Ghost is your name
in their rape and pillage legal game
bound in chains of debts and rules
brainwashed in education schools

a child trapped in legal age
the major trapped by minor rage
some kill to own and have it all
leaving others with nothing at all

The God of Greed consumes their souls
while others hold their empty bowls
But when Time comes knocking at your door
do you ask 'what was all that for'

not a penny can you take with you
but now you're (really) dead who's there to sue
certificate of death cancels the birth
(the ledger is balanced) and we all return as dust to the earth.

Dying To Live

“All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others” 
Sharon Salzberg

Mudita is a word from Sanskrit and Pali that has no counterpart in English. It means sympathetic or unselfish joy, or joy in the good fortune of others

Me- Original music, Guitar, & Bass

Mudita

The dirty sound of the sixties. Ulf Lindholm on vocals, Pelle Baeck on instruments.

I´m wearing blue

I thought this piece might be a companion to 'Jacaranda' but it ended up sounding too much like it despite the electric mandolin.

Bring your sister, too

A girl I used to see has turned away from me
She just walked out that door
I’ve been texting her since morning broke and waiting for her call
But I don’t care anymore
So let’s start working on our getaway
Leave this place while we can
To Santa Fe or Hudson Bay or Groundhog Day
That’s my plan
And bring you sister, too

Life goes on my friend, you meet someone and then
Things go wrong
I always feel doubt about how the game plays out
Can’t say it’s made me strong
Time’s standing at our platform now
Behind schedule but I can’t explain 
Why it’s late or why it’s leaving I just know somehow
We have to catch that train
And bring you sister, too

instrumental

That girl walked out on me I don’t care ‘cause now I’m free
To do or dare
I’ve learned to turn my back on those who turn their back on me
And just walk from there
But it’s no defeat to leave and then return again
That’s what your sister said to me
She asked: How can you love at all and move away?
How can you run and still be free?
Yeah, bring your sister, too
