Running out of Somedays

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Legerdemain

Legerdemain     with Brian Peters

I
Don't want to be alone again
Sitting with a silent phone again
It so depresses me

And I
Just want to be your friend again
Be in your presence again
Hear your sweet voice again
I wanna be with you again

The distance between us
So depresses me
I've got to get off my knees
And learn to talk again

Break

I
Don't want to be alone again
Sitting with a silent phone again
It so depresses me

The distance between us
So depresses me
I've got to get off my knees
And learn to talk again

It so depresses me
It so depresses me
I've got to get off my knees
And learn to love again

Silent Phone Again

His Greco-Roman style of living is very wholesome.
He accomplishes this by enduring boredom and loving frugality.

Those long days turned him into Superman and proved his greatness.

On logically questionable kindness.
It's suspected to be a crime.

The justice we have deluded ourselves into believing in has proven to be very unreliable.

We must also rethink the meaning of religion and deities.

On logically questionable kindness.
We're currently investigating.

Maybe "peace" is just a delusion and there is no such thing.
Maybe that's what we really are, taking and killing each other.

Our comfortable lives are supported by much consumption.
We don't know or think about where it is sourced from.

One era ends, a new era begins.
Even if it's not desirable.

On logically questionable kindness.
We should consider penalties.

I don't know what's goin' on.
But it's gone on for too long.
It's so hard now to stay strong
when everything you feel seems wrong.
I used to wear an open heart
until our kind tore it apart.
I was to blame, or once I thought.
But we're the same, just different flaws.
And scars. And all. 

I used to cry myself to sleep.
And fear the words I used to speak. 
I've come to learn that I'm unique
and beauty hides between the seams.
So, now, although I walk alone,
I've learned to love myself and grown
into this man all on my own.
Now, please, fuck off, I'm getting stoned.


flaws & scars & all

Dear friends, something went wrong during the transmission of the first version - sorry!
The flower on the picture is Pulsatilla Vulgaris (Backsippa in Swedish). Photo 240428. A lot of them are growing on the beach in Simrishamn, Skåne, Sweden.

Lyrics in English

Great Moments

There are a few moments
when most people feel fine
these moments must be saved
in our souls and our minds
and never - let them go when storms are raging
when someone who is lost very suddenly comes home
the relief is amazing

The first smile from Your baby
is an amazing event
also in the darkest night
it’s a memory for Your life
even if it was so hard to make the baby sleep
the little baby wants to play with all the soft toys and the bells
that keep everyone in the house awake

It certainly might happen
that You will win a lot
of money when You have bet
on some horses in a race
or maybe You have been lucky to win on a lottery
but what shall You do with all the money that You got
maybe You will give a coin to the poor

Great Moments 2 (Lyrics in English in description)

Lyrics by Peter Stevens & Dominique Briand
Music, arrangement and vocals by Peter Stevens

I don’t know how
This came to be
How could this thing
Happen to me
I was so strong
But I never knew
That I could feel
The way I do

And since that day
When we first met
That day in May
I’ll never forget
Me and you
Can this be true
Can this be love
Can this be what I’ve waited for

Have you conquered my heart
Not sure
If I’m falling apart
Like before
Is it true
Can this be love

I was so sure
Before we met
I’d never fall
In love and yet
I find myself
In dissarray
I’m all mixed up
To feel this way

So as I try
To understand
I’ll bide my time
And take your hand
This feeling’s new
Can this be true
Can this be love
Can this be what I’ve waited for

Have you conquered my heart
Not sure
If I’m falling apart
Like before
Is it true
Is it real
Really true for me and you
Can this be love

Can This Be Love - Collab with Dominique Briand (Original)

Lyrics, music & vocals by Peter Stevens

Kiss you in the morning before you go
Whisper in your ear words you need to know
Hold you in my arms closer to me now
Feel my heart beating...stronger
Oh how I long to show you how I feel
Oh I love everything about you
From the tip down to the toe
And I know that you know
I love you so

Call me when you get there before you start your day
That you are thinking of me is all you need to say
 I'll be thinking of you while you are far away
I so want to be near you...constantly
To show you how I feel
Oh I love everything about you
From the tip down to the toe
And I know that you know
I love you so

So hurry home my darling, 
I really need to show you how I feel
Oh I love everything about you
From the tip down to the toes
And I know that you know
I love you so
I love you so
I love you so
