72_ Who was Alone at Christmas? (BrassDubBlues) - released on 27 December 2024

I felt a bit alone, even before Christmas... But what about those who really are alone? With this track I want to draw attention to them, give them some courage to change something about their situation and we, who are usually not alone, can change that too... yes, even after Christmas! #xmas #brass #dub #blues

Who was Alone at Christmas? (BrassDubBlues)

Tired of the guns, the shootings, the wars, the deaths....if only I had a.....

 superpower

If I had a superpower                                                    
Our friends, their final hours
I would want to slow
I’d even have a name 
Call me Mr. Freeze Frame
I'd probably have a cape you know

I will move amongst the crowds
I’ll grab those bullets now
Pick them out of the air 
I 'll slide across the ground
I will not make a sound
No one will ever know I’m there

If I had a superpower                                                  
If I had a superpower

If I had a superpower
The laws of physics 
I would break them all
Mr. Isaac Newton 
I would disprove him
To stop this murderball

I would keep them close and safe
Protected by my cape
No harm would come to them
I would stop the fires
I would douse the flames
And I would save all of them

If I had a superpower
If I had a superpower

I close my eyes                                                               
Always the same old refrain                                                                                                                                                  Peace in our time,
will it ever come again                 
Wake up this morning                                                   
Count too many names                                                 
So many sad goodbyes                                                                        
If I had a superpower
Perhaps just like a flower
I would want to be
My face against the sun
In a world that’s come undone
From this springtime tragedy 

I would not need to cry
Love or hate or say goodbye
Flowers only feel the rain
They die and bloom again
For them, it doesn’t end 
They can't feel this human pain

But I don’t have a superpower 
no, no
I don’t have a superpower  
no












superpower

UNDERWEAR DRAWER by NOVA J

My coffee’s bitter / The taste is wrong
I’m not a quitter / Why are you gone?
I left your book / on my nightstand
No need to look / I know the end

Couldn’t say sorry to your face
So I let the silence take your place
I type a message then hit erase
I’m dying in this empty space

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer

Maybe you’re better / maybe you’re free
Maybe you’re never / Thinking of me
Do you ever wonder? / If I’m alright
When you lay under / Someone else tonight 

Your coat’s still hanging on my door
It doesn’t smell like you anymore
Funny how some things fade so fast
Except for the pain, that always lasts

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer

Sometimes I miss our old damn fights
The way we’d make up the whole damn night
Your shoes are here, collecting dust
I ask myself. Was it love? Or lust?
I tear up the pages, keep trying again
But nothing I’m writing can make amends

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / In my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / The one you used before
Ooooh hmm / I keep staring at the door
Ooooh hmm / I miss you more and more

UNDERWEAR DRAWER

Feel that pain it happens when you care
Lean right in, embrace it if you dare
Dangerous days, perilous nights
I’ll take the reins, hold on tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

One step first, my love is all you need
Soon your thirst for more will set you free
Joyful days, blissful nights  
 Sit with me, hold me tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me
  
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don’t hold back cos life won’t wait
If there’s never love, there’ll never be loss              
We’ll all be shielded but at what cost

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

Risk the Fall

“You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is all.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

“Cancer is a word, not a sentence.”
― John Diamond: Journalist and commentator

A song inspired by a phrase that popped out of my oldest granddaughter's mouth, and which subsequently became the title; and by the recent death of an old school friend. He is the first of that particular group of friends to pass away, which no doubt forces those friends still alive to face up to their own mortality. This is my response . . .

Lyrics:
I hear her weeping when she thinks that I am fast asleep
That’s when I know she’s hurting, although it’s hidden deep
In some ways I’m better off than her as drugs, drugs can mask my pain
You see, I’m like a long-running TV show they won’t renew again
I heard somewhere there’s many ways to live within a tragedy
I’m praying to whatever god there is, it’s not some fallacy

I’ve never been called sexy, no one’s ever said I’m cool
I’ve always been the shortest; to be accepted, sometimes I’d play the fool
I remember us lads, drinking pint after pint, way back, way back in our youthful days
I love to reminisce with you and laugh at our wild & drunken ways
The wife is calling out to me that I should really, really try to eat
I swallow some, but all I taste is metal … and defeat

It’s been so long since we spoke to each other, I wish, I wish that I could stay
I’d love to reminisce with you & laugh at those crazy, long-gone days
But I can barely speak right now, I’m bombed out up to the eyes
So, call me back tomorrow, just hope I’m still alive!
