Shyntwirl - The Last Rays Of The Sun Of The Day

Style

This is another cover of an oldies tune, 'Another Saturday Night*', written by the great Sam Cooke (he wrote the song while staying in a hotel where no female guests were allowed). But this version is a cover of another cover - Cat Steven's version of the song. Cat's version is more upbeat, with a bit of a Latin feel to it. Being a fan of both versions, I threw in a sample of Cooke's original at the very end, and the voices from the studio recording at the very beginning, including a count off by Cooke himself, just for fun. I REALLY enjoyed doing this one, and hope it shows in the recording. Thanks for listening.

All instruments played by me on keyboard:
-organ
-acoustic guitar
-flute
-trumpets
-alto & tenor sax
-piano
-bass
-percussion
-drums
-lead & backing vocals

*Song written by Sam Cooke

(apologies for my absence from Soundcloud lately; work & some recent vacation time keep getting in the way. how dare they!)

Another Saturday Night (Cat's cover)

Couldn't resist doing another cover of my own ukulele demo of this song.

Rewind (2025) Remastered

Another song that, oh, what a novelty! is about me talking about myself. A bit solipsistic, I admit. In any case, the melody, deeply rooted in the canons of the oldest pop, is catchy and quite enjoyable, if you listen to it indulgently.

More or less

Visage (Lyrics/Paroles)

J'ai aperçu son visage, mais ce n'était qu'un mirage, 
Comme un reflet dans l'orage, une illusion de passage,
Son regard m’a fait naufrage, dans un monde sans rivage,
Où l’amour n’est qu’un langage, perdu dans le vent sauvage.

Elle danse dans mes pensées, comme une ombre sans visage, 
Chaque nuit je veux l’aimer, mais je n’ai que son mirage,
Un soupir, un doux présage, puis le vide en héritage, 
Je poursuis son doux sillage, prisonnier de son image.

The image is interesting. Taken in 1985, I would have been 5 years old. That water doesn't exist there anymore. I have my feet in Djouce mini reservoir. In August 1986, Hurricane Charlie caused it to burst it's banks and it emptied into the river Dargle and caused some fairly bad flooding in our home town of Bray, Co. Wicklow. Djouce Lake is now a dry lake 🔆

Instrumentation
-Piano played on keys
-Ovation Acoustic Guitar 2 rhythm runs
-Bass one through run\
-Epiphone rhythm one run
-Epiphon elead one run
-Vocals one run
-Deep tech logic kit beat following piano for first half of track and then acoustic guitar for second half

To add
-Build a pizzicato string section to follow the acoustic rhythm. Or whatever punchy bow up down technique is. Turn this into a legsro section for the second half and should build the drama nicely
-Bring in high pitched percussion for the interlude at 2min34 and then make that low pitched tribal epicness for the outro section from

Shout out to the masters. Radiohead - The Tourist locked in the 9/8 mode with a few loops before writing the piano line. Love the way they venture different timings. I'm not sure this song is straight 9/8 though. I think they throw in a 12/8 and or a 3/4 at some point in the sections.
Truly the best band of all time in my world. I'm praying hard we get at least one more album 😆🧬🎶

The idea of the title is, let's move out of the metaphorical hell we all see people creating around us and get grounded! ❤️

I'll also note that ascension of awareness from pea head means we end up beside eachother.... No bullshit above and below!🔆


Up to the Ground

Good consciousness of clean
Infinity of one
Flow good now eternal
A christ like glow mind won
Synchronised to system
Forget the old body
I'm always here as spirit
As all life ghost shall be
I am Nana and Papa
I'm all passed life and live
I am potential energy
Just good idea inside
I am a friend of Spiders
I am a partner of Trees
I am a rock that made me
Equals to my seeds
We are not born of sin
This fear phantoms' cruel eye
With naturally selected grin
True spirit doesn't lie
We worship just our heart
Each day holds fresh new know
If we suffer as oppressed 
Still be your light to glow

Bring forth our intellect
Feed emotions matured
Define new perfect
Divined nature
Equal beings
Transcended ego
Magical meme
Shiva shanti dreamer
Good bonefide feel from soul
One greater good collective role
Control of inner balance still
Focused to breath we bend to our will
We've moved into this higher plane
Gone is confusion from physical pain
Ascended we are
Up to the ground
True spiritual God inside we found

Up to the Ground

This song is dedicated to the sublime sounds of Joliz and the poetic words of Hans H. Hiebel… https://soundcloud.com/user-198565200/augenblick

I had an old blue car no Cadillac
The sun in the morning at my back
Driving east follow the railroad tracks
Until I reach Montauk Point

Little summer towns all dressed in pink
A million places to stop and think
Throw a stone catch it before it sinks
Be back before the setting of the sun
Seemed easy like breathing when I was 21

I dreamed of Berlin and Amsterdam
Neon lights and a one way plan
Passport pages in a shaky hand
Standing in the line to board the plane

The night came soft with a lullaby
Backseat blanket and a blood-red sky
A girl named Jean with the clearest eyes
Said she’d wait but she cut and run
That’s how it goes when your 21

Worked as a DJ in a bayside town
AM/FM radio playing the sound
Of Sinatra, Chapin, and some old Motown
While kids played under the pier

Played midnight songs for the drunks and losers
Waited for dawn with the coffee boozers
Wrote some lyrics about shakers and movers
How they burned out just for fun
It was a flash and a bang when I was 21

Now I pass these roads from time to time 
The sun gets tangled in the power lines
I roll the window down shift to drive
But the past just fades and comes undone
Seemed easy like breathing when I was 21

Music lover & singer-songwriter. Many thanks for taking the time to listen.
