Manic riff for 2 tenor saxes held together (some of the time) by sensible flutes, 'bass' alto saxes and trad. beat.

Tis a noble sport but it does have its downside. The lifespan of a wrestler is typically reduced by 15-20 years attributed to the health consequences of the sumo diet. They are also banned from driving cars partly due to being too big to fit behind a steering wheel. This song, however, is about another fight which we must win!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSnhY0xBK7k

I’m a sumo wrestler
Don’t fit in a Tesla
I weigh 400 pounds 
Or ‘bout that
And a lotta the food’ll be
Rice, ramen noodles
Yeah
Ya gotta be fat

No gougin ’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Huff, luffa 
Keep your breathing in sync
Throw salt in the air
Show your palms 
That’s just fair
Make sure your mawashi’s 
Tucked in
   
Le lutteur de Sumo
Il ma fait ‘ah’
Il ma fait ‘oh’
Le lutteur de Sumo
C’est si bon
C’est si beau

No gougin’ no kickin’
Just slappin’ and trippin’
Make sure your mawashi 
Tucked in
 And remind that bozo
Once he touches the doho
It means that he loses
I win

Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa
Huffa luffa

The Sumo Wrestler

L.I.T.O.D.S. - Living in their own delusional society!

Tight jeans up my crack sexy back Bomber Jack
Giving you the skunk face hiding beneath my cap 

It's insane, it's magical a spectacle so sensual you can't believe
Crash the plane ask Jefferson pulling white rabbits out of my sleeve

Class act, ballet corset like Fantasia all glimmer and gloom
Silly fact, smack your back, you're the pink elephant dancing in the room

I follow trends copy styles I'm basically a clone
I'm shallow and love to flirt swipe you under my phone

Like trash under the rug, you're a chad, don't think much more of it
Thriller pose, spitting bones, skulls falling out of my closet

Long ponytail, slim waist, clapping buns, neat and petite figure
No need to be a gold digger men shower me with big figures

I'm accessible, flexible, available and uncopiable virtually impossible
Make you stumble over vocabulary and syllables I'm formidably untouchable

Still though, I'm likeable but actually kind of a noob on Youtube

Casually I make make up tutorials I'm a serial killer Wikipedia
What casualties? Instead love to gossip about commodities and social media

No respect for the dead!

I'm like a bird on Tik Tok an influencer sick who caught the flu and flew
Past Cuckoo's nest invests and who spreads bad tricks and tips you have no clue

Socially awkward an independent woman with bad tendencies 
Blurred transparency corrupted by money and infidelity 

Achieving and stealing scamming and scheming misleading a population
Replacing believing with brainwash the younger generation for viewer sensation?

What an abomination talk about being hollow?
Yeah thumbs up I get a lot of followers

Yo this is wack as fuck! 
This is wack as fuck!
This is wack as fuck!

Living in their own delusional society 
Yeah no wonder no one wants to be with me!

All the single ladies Beyoncé say what? 

Yo this is wack as fuck!
This is wack as fuck!
This is wack as fuck!

Living in their own delusional society 
Yeah no wonder no one wants to be with me!

All the single ladies Beyoncé say what?

Lyrics by Amarya Illude.

L.I.T.O.D.S.

Bombs drop

Super nova lights 
The southern sky
Right before the bombs drop
Ending all of life

1,2
3,4
Shut the fucking door


I walk across this earth
It’s truths written in lies
The sun kisses my face
I’m already dead inside

Before Bomb$ Drop

A student of mine is learning this piece, so I decided to learn it too. But it sounded incomplete, so...

A hold on me (Original)

(no genAI involved - my voice and VST instruments)
At 55 years old, I am a grandfather and am rediscovering the magic of a newborn baby. When we see this innocence and fragility, we retrieve in each of us that simple but wonderful thing that is humanity.
(traduit plus bas)
---
It's not another morning
Not anymore
So deep inside me
I'm only starting to understand
Like never before
  
When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
My baby I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising  

My love,my son
Born of your ancestors
Now you're the sun, I'm your universe
You'll find me always there

I never knew the silence
Could speak so loud
You breathe, I listen
The world now slows just to hear from you
And time itself bows down

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
Your smile becomes the meaning
And hope  is softly ringing
My baby, you reveal
These beautiful things
That you imagine

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
I'm dreaming
I'm healing
When living is so real
I see the meaning
The world's arising
----
Ce n'est pas un matin comme les autres
Plus maintenant
Au plus profond de moi
Je commence seulement à comprendre
Comme jamais auparavant
  
Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
Mon bébé, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Mon amour, mon fils
Né de tes ancêtres
Maintenant, tu es le soleil, je suis ton univers
Tu me trouveras toujours là

Je ne savais pas que le silence
Pouvait parler si fort
Tu respires, j'écoute
Le monde ralentit maintenant juste pour t'entendre
Et le temps lui-même s'incline

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît
 
Quand la vie est si réelle
Ton sourire devient le sens
Et l'espoir  sonne doucement
Mon bébé, tu révèles
Ces belles choses
Que tu imagines

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Quand la vie est si réelle
Je rêve
Je guéris
Quand la vie est si réelle
Je vois le sens
Le monde qui naît

When living is so real

played about with this a lot - again shifted to minor key helped with the spooky vibe - tweaked the words here and there - boom - murder ballad Enjoy 

Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kind of strange  I was lonely so I thought take a chance
When we danced, he held me tight
when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright and then he kissed me
Each time I saw him, he couldn’t wait to see me again
I started to see he thought that I was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do
When he whispered, "I love you"
I just whispered I love you too, and then he kissed me
He kissed me in a way like he’d never been kissed before
He kissed me in a way like he wanted to eat my soul 
He kept me filled with wine so I gave him all the love that I had
one day, he took me home to meet his mom and hisdad 
As we stood at the grave side 
He told me I would be his bride 
He wiped the last tear from my eye and then he kissed me
Then he told me i was his bride
Forever lie right by his side
He looked so happy as he watched me die
then he kissed me
then he kissed me
then he kissed me

then he kissed me (Crystals cover)

The tires roll soft on a road unnamed 
A hymn drifts out from a far-off band 
We whisper the words like a secret prayer 
And we follow the night with an open hand 

And we lean into the silence
When the static casts a spell 
We search all the channels 
When the station says farewell
Somewhere by the Nowhere Motel

The lights go red in the rearview glass
A gas pump lit up like a chapel sign
We pass it by like dreams we’ve had
Still whispering into the night

And we lean into the silence 
When the static casts a spell 
We search all the channels 
When the station says farewell
Somewhere by the Nowhere Motel

A voice on the dial says the war is done
But she keeps her coat wrapped so tight
We drive through towns forget their names
As they slowly fade out of sight

And we lean into the silence
When the static casts a spell 
We search all the channels 
When the station says farewell
Somewhere by the Nowhere Motel
Somewhere by the Nowhere Motel

LYRICS:



(Verse 1)
Sun come up again today
Same old trouble in the way
My bones ache my spirit low
Where the good times where they go

(Pre-chorus)
Hear a whisper on the breeze
Something bout a magic ease

[Chorus]
Bethesda Pool oh Bethesda Pool
Washes away the mean and cruel
Bethesda Pool just dip your toe
Watch the bad stuff up and go

(Verse 2)
Walkin slow down to the water
Feelin like a lost old daughter
See the light dance on the green
Best darn sight I ever seen

(Pre-chorus)
Take a breath let out a sigh
No more tears just clear blue sky

(Chorus)
Bethesda Pool oh Bethesda Pool
Washes away the mean and cruel
Bethesda Pool just dip your toe
Watch the bad stuff up and go

I have been using a CPAP machine for several months.  I am sleeping much better and I decided to take a stab at writing a song about it.  
***
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a hose connected to a mask or nosepiece to deliver constant and steady air pressure to help you breathe while you sleep.

CPAP Lyrics: 
I was snoring, so I had a sleep study, and they gave me a CPAP machine
It took a bit of getting used to, it was uncomfortable at first, but now it’s part of my nightly routine
When I first put on that CPAP mask, I tried to pretend I was like Darth Vader, part man and part machine, but actually I look more l like Jason in that hockey mask on Friday the thirteenth
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong.  I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.
Every night when I go to bed I wear a mask that covers my mouth and my nose and on the top of my head, connected to the mask, there’s a big, long hose.
They say when it comes to romance, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover 
 But something about that CPAP mask makes me thinks it’s goanna be hard to find myself a new lover.
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong. I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.
Sometime you gotta try to put things in perspective
Sometimes you gotta try to be a little bit more objective
Sometimes you just gotta put function over form
Sometimes you gotta be willing to deviate from the norm
The doctor said if I don’t wear that mask, I’ll be gasping for breath all night long and I know I’d better keep wearing it, if I want my heart and brain to stay strong.
I know it’s very important to follow all the proper medical advice and I have every intention to keep using my CPAP device.  I just wish I looked a little bit more sexy while I was wearing it.
