Verse 1:
Amidst the foliage, where secrets hide, 
You can hear the calls, far and wide 
Mysteries untold, within these trees. 
Nature’s laws he defies with ease.

Verse 2:
Raised by the apes, strength untamed, 
A king without a crown, ferity ingrained. 
Nature’s own child; one with the beasts
Focused on survival as he swings from the trees.

Chorus Chants:
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)

Verse 3:
Crashing through branches, in the still of the night.
Vine after vine, and endless flight.
Creatures are watching, hidden away.
Some of them, flee, and others want him as prey.

Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play. 
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

Chorus Chants:
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
(Ungawa)
 
Verse 4:
In her eyes, his world collides.
A feeling so real, it’s bona fide
With each beat, his heart sings, Jane
He can’t take it anymore, he’s going insane
Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play. 
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

Bridge:
He cannot, say goodbye.
Love so true, he can’t deny.
Once primeval, his instincts displaced.
For her love, he’s opened the space.

In his heart, with great aplomb.
adoration, nature becalmed. 
Now he realizes where to go.
With her, he knows, he’ll grow.

Verse 5:
Apeman and Jane, their future sown. 
Hearts entwined, they’ll never be alone.
As the curtain falls, the jungle sleeps.
the quiet of the wild, where love runs deep.

Chorus:
In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play.
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)

In the heart of the jungle, where the wild ones play.
(Ungawa)
Lives a man who became a human stray.
(Ungawa)
Swinging from the vines with the wind at his back.
(Ungawa)
Answers calls of the wild on the untamed track.
(Ungawa)
Outro:
Now beneath the stars, they lie, worlds merged under open sky.
From the jungle to the heart's embrace, in her love, he’s found his place.
Echoes fade into night's calm,
Hand in hand, in peace, in palm.
Jointly bound where the wild winds blow,
With, her love, his home, they grow.

Guitars: Taylor 150e 12-string and Martin D-28

With nods to The Byrds, The Beatles, The Who, Righteous Brothers, Everly Brothers and all the great janglers of the 60's.

Lyrics:
I’m not bein’ fake, I just wanna make
The kind of record I like listenin’ to
Oh I’m not on the take, I just wanna make
The kind of record that I love, oh,

I’ll have a backbeat boppin’ along, 
But with a change-up in the middle of the song.
I’ll have a solo that’s really swell, 
But not too long ‘cause I don’t play very well. Oh! Oh!

You can call me a flake, but I just wanna make, 
The kind of record I like listenin’ to,
Yeah, for Everly’s sake, I just wanna make
The kind of record that I love, oh-oh

Finally I realize that I’ve got an audience of one, oh,
No one else will listen, they’re all into dissin’,
So I might as well have my own fun, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Gimme a break, I just wanna make (bop-shoo-wops)
The kind of record I like listenin’ to 
Ah, let them eat cake, I just wanna make
The kind of record that I love, oh-oh

I’m gonna make some rhymes, 
That I can stand to hear a thousand times,
I’m gonna choose a theme, (yeah yeah yeah)
That’s Beatle-icious and will make me scream, ah-ah-ah-aagh!

Instrum:   

Oh gimme a break, I just wanna make, the kind of record that I love, oh,

Guys, I realize, that my career is on the shelf, oh,
No one will listen, they’re all into dissin’
So I might as well pleasure myself, oh, oh! oh! oh! ow!

You can call me a flake, but I just wanna make,
The kind of record I like listenin’ to
Yeah, for Everly’s sake, I just wanna make
The kind of record that I love, oh-oh oh,
Oooo - oooo - oooo.

A review of love throughout my lifetime: childhood, first love, recent family.

Lyrics:
In a memory place, like a nursery rhyme,
A mother and father surrender their time,
And the children dream in a sleep that’s secure,
Safely embraced by a love that is pure.

Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Is it fed by the source, is it simple enough?
Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Sharing the light that the world is made of.

In a memory place, on a beach lost in time,
Two hearts are matched, and their bodies recline,
For the one, it’s grace, for the other, just fine,
Will it evolve by the purest design?

Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Is it fed by the source, is it simple enough?
Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Sharing the light that the world is made of.

It’s the pure, pure love that’s so hard to define,
It’s the pure, pure love, within a heart that’s kind.  Instr.

In a closer place, in an updated rhyme,
Three souls embrace on the Earth for a time,
And the animal’s trust, binds the humans like twine,
Does the shine in his eyes, reflect the divine?

Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Is it fed by the source, is it simple enough?
Is it pure love, is it pure, pure love?
Sharing the light that the world is made of.
Oooh, oooh.

Pure Pure Love

Lyrics:
Walkin’ through the shadowy forest,       
Didn’t know which way I should go,
Somethin’ caught my eye that was givin’ off a golden glow.
It was a shiny little guy in the flowers,
His thoughts were gettin’ into my head,
I wondered what he could know, and this is what he said:

Well I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other,
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer,
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout followin’ your heartbeat, 
To help you do everything you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
Ooooh ooh ooh…ah.

Well I couldn’t really see what he looked like, 
But a song was all inside my mind,
And everything that I could feel told me he was kind.
It was clear that he was hopin’ to help me,
Find my way out of the shadowy place,
By filling me up with his wisdom and a whisper of grace.

He sang I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And it’s all about findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Something changed inside of me then,
A music of the soul until the very end.

I sing: I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Well I Know

Written by Cavebar while sitting on the balcony loving the geranium glow.
Guitar: Taylor 150e 12-string

Lyrics:
Thanks for this sunshine day,
Thanks for the joy that comes our way,
The summer’s near, the blossoms here,
What on the planet have we got to fear now?
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

It’s such an easy sell,
The cooling breezes treat us well,
The summer’s near, the greens appear,
What on the planet have we got to fear now?
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

It’s such a simple thing,
Sure as the season moves from Spring,
We’ve got some plans, we’re in good hands,
Thinkin’ ‘bout visitin’ some beautiful lands now,
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

It’s such a simple thing,
Sure as the season moves from Spring,
We’ve got some plans, we’re in good hands,
Thinkin’ ‘bout visiting some beautiful lands now,
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.
Sittin’ on the balcony lovin’ the geranium glow.

Translation above

À propos du naufrage en 1978 de l'AMOCO Cadiz près de Portsall, en Bretagne. Survenu après ceux du Torrey Canyon (mars 1967), l’Olympic Bravery (janvier 1976), le Boehlen (octobre 1976)

Texte de (lyrics by) Marie-Françoise Barreau-Delapierre-Loussot
Musique et voix : Myckaël Marcovic
Music and vocals : Myckaël Marcovic

La marée est en noir

La mer cinglait à corps et à cris
Sous un ciel chargé de gribouillis
Toutes les mouettes et les cormorans
Semblaient noyés dans le mauvais temps.

Un pétrolier gouvernail cassé
Impossible de le remorquer
Un rocher éventra ses cloisons
La cargaison largua son poison.

Refrain :
La marée est en noir
Ça coule, ça pue, ça poisse
Bouquet de noce qui ancre sa crasse

Portsall, port digne de ton blason
Ce jour-là, tu portais bien ton nom.
Sombre terminal par accident.
Tombeau des mouettes et des cormorans.

Vomi de marée qui s’amarre
le soleil couchait dans un sang noir.
Une armada de cirés bretons
Ont relevé manches et mentons

(Refrain)

Breizh partageait les larmes de fiel
Des éboueurs peinant sur leur pelle.
Qui serraient les dents se rappelant
Déjà trois marées noires en dix ans  

Malgré les linceuls de cet or noir
Qui se sont gravés dans les mémoires
Les marchés de la consommation
Vont de déraisons en déraisons

(Refrain)

Paroles de Marie-Françoise Barreau-Delapierre et Myckaël Marcovic, 
Musique de Myckaël Marcovic, 05 juillet 2024

Based on a magnificent text by Marie-Françoise Barreau-Delapierre-Loussot on the 1978 sinking of the AMOCO Cadiz near Portsall, Brittany. This followed the sinking of the Torrey Canyon (March 1967), the Olympic Bravery (January 1976) and the Boehlen (October 1976).

The tide is in black

The sea was screaming its head off
Under a doodle-laden sky
All the seagulls and cormorants
Seemed drowned in the bad weather.

A tanker with a broken rudder
Impossible to tow
A rock ripped open its bulkheads
The cargo dropped its poison.

Refrain :
The tide is black
It sinks, it stinks, it poisons
A wedding bouquet that anchors its grime

Portsall, port worthy of your coat of arms
that day, you lived up to your name.
Dark terminal by accident.
Grave of seagulls and cormorants.

Mooring tidal vomit
the sun set in black blood.
an armada of Breton oilskins
rolled up sleeves and chins

(Refrain)

Breizh shared the tears of gall
Of garbage men toiling on their shovels.
Who gritted their teeth remembering
Three black tides in ten years  

Despite the shrouds of this black gold
etched in our memories
Consumer markets
From folly to folly

(Refrain)

La marée est en noir (Marie-Françoise Barreau-Delapierre-Loussot / Myckaël Marcovic)

Claude Debussy - Arabesque No. 1
performed by Myra Arnaudov

From the tentacles of star ejecta
Swirling in our blood
We’re swimming on the edge of night
We’re floating in a cage of light

Who I was before I held you 
Tenderly I can’t recall
You pulled me from the edge of night
You built me in your cage of light

We’re renaissant–
Don’t waste it
Trying to cradle water beads 
Just start one fire before the freeze

Caged in light
Take flight
Don’t give up flight
Can’t give up flight

We don’t need to manicure the claws
Of every specter 
Tearing down our hull
Just cause we’re dancing on the edge of sight
As we’re flying in our cages of light

And if you have to go dismember nothing
Just give it all and
Suddenly you’ll skate the edge of night
Explode together with your cage of light

We’re renaissant–
Don’t waste it
Trying to cradle water beads
Start just one fire before the freeze

Caged in light
Take flight
Don’t give up flight 

No eye
Can simply see
The light around us is a dream
Less than a dream
Unless we dream up ourselves
Unafraid of the deep
Unafraid of the dark
Unafraid of the light in our 
Cages

Hey,
today, I wanted to share my rendition of Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" form 1958. I personally got to know the song through Paul McCartney's version. I wanted to create a very simplistic version. If you enjoy this version, please leave a like, repost or follow. You can also write a comment with constructive feedback or your thoughts...
Have a great day!
Thanks for listening :)

Lonesome Town - Ricky Nelson (Acoustic Guitar-Cover)

[Intro]
I see the colors fading, drifting through the haze
We’re just a part of something, caught up in the maze
Feel the light inside us, shining through the clouds
But the more I try to reach it, the more I lose somehow

[Verse 1]
I’m standing in the middle of a world I made
But I can’t tell if it’s real or just a masquerade
The stars are bending, twisting in my mind
But I’m still searching for something I can’t find

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the waves are crashing, pulling me away
Do I drift or do I stay?
The sky’s alive with dreams that never fade
But they slip through me like rain

[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler in time, chasing the glow
Running through visions I’ll never know
It’s a kaleidoscope, and I’m spinning slow
But there’s a fire in my soul
I’m just a traveler in time, don’t let me go
Caught in the rhythm, but I’m lost in the flow
It’s all around me, but I still don’t know
Where I’m supposed to go

[Verse 2]
I hear the echoes calling from another life
But every answer comes with a sharpened knife
The world keeps shifting under my feet
While I’m just floating, falling through the beat

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the waves are crashing, pulling me away
Do I drift or do I stay?
The sky’s alive with dreams that never fade
But they slip through me like rain

[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler in time, chasing the glow
Running through visions I’ll never know
It’s a kaleidoscope, and I’m spinning slow
But there’s a fire in my soul
I’m just a traveler in time, don’t let me go
Caught in the rhythm, but I’m lost in the flow
It’s all around me, but I still don’t know
Where I’m supposed to go

[Bridge]
And I’ll keep dancing in the shadows of my mind
Through the galaxies, the stars are still aligned
I’ll ride the waves until I find
A place to leave it all behind

[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler in time, chasing the glow
Running through visions I’ll never know
It’s a kaleidoscope, and I’m spinning slow
But there’s a fire in my soul
I’m just a traveler in time, don’t let me go
Caught in the rhythm, but I’m lost in the flow
It’s all around me, but I still don’t know
Where I’m supposed to go

[Outro]
Caught in the rhythm, caught in the flow
Still looking for a place to go

Traveler

"Beach" is a dreamy indie folk ballad that evokes the warmth of summer days by the sea and the feeling of being at home with someone you love. With its gentle combination of vocals, guitar, standup bass, and piano, the song paints a serene picture of connection and tranquility. Performed live at the Punch and Judy Theatre, "Beach" brings a quiet intimacy, with its slow tempo allowing each note and lyric to linger like a soft breeze. Fans of artists like Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, and The Lumineers will resonate with its nostalgic, reflective mood, akin to tracks like Iron & Wine's "Naked as We Came" or Fleet Foxes' "Montezuma". The song's understated instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it a beautiful ode to love, memory, and the sea.

When I think of summer days
By the side of the sea
You holding my hand
And letting the waves wash away the sand
I've never been to heaven
Yet I am certain of the spot

Dive deep with me,
Together we are
Bound by the clear blue
Together as one

When I'm with you I'm home
When I see you I'm home
In so many dreams have I found you
As if the map were always there
The footprints in the sand always
Lead me back to you

Dive deep with me,
Together we are
Bound by the clear blue
Together as one

"Beach" Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Beach - Live at Punch and Judy Theatre

Lyrics:

A quiet gardener, laying lonely on his bed,
Something is calling, something is calling, faintly in his head
A dream of roses, draws him out to search the sky
Something is calling, something is blooming there,
Beyond the vision of his eye.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s a garden that welcomes every leaf?
Can it be, there are flowers that love my calloused hand?
Can it be, that they’re blossoming in a flawless land?

A quiet sailor, laying lonely on his bed,
Something is calling, something is calling, faintly in his head
A dream of dolphins, draws him out to search the sea
Something is calling, something is sailing there,
Beyond what he can see.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s an ocean that welcomes every stream?
Can it be, there's a ship that wants guidance from my hand?
Can it be, that it’s voyaging far from sea or land?

Something is calling everyone, there always seem to be,
Greetings that are reaching for us all.         
Something is hoping that everyone will listen carefully
For the spirit call.

Can it be something beautiful’s reaching out to me?
Can it be, there’s an ocean that welcomes every stream?
Can it be, something’s hoping to hold my calloused hand?
Can it be, something’s calling me from a flawless land?

Something Is Calling

Featuring sharp, insistent drum machines, unsettling electronic arpeggios, and a final defiant female vocal. Listen to the system reboot. #CoerciveControl #DarkPop #SynthRnb #TheCalibrationSong.

The Calibration Song

A cinematic jazz-hip-hop-pop fusion that bridges eras — the soul of the blues, the poetry of hip-hop, and the power of pop.
Rich live instrumentation meets modern production: soulful guitar bends, brass harmonies, upright bass fused with 808s, and a 40-bar lyrical firestorm that speaks truth, struggle, and redemption.

This is more than a song — it’s a story told through every note and breath.
Close your eyes and let the river carry you.

River of My Blues

Bhakti is a Sanskrit word meaning "devotion," "love," or "attachment”. It’s about a loving, emotional relationship with a personal god, and can also involve devotion to a formless ultimate reality or an enlightened being. 

I wrote these lyrics last year when I released them as a spoken word poem in a track called Divine Commedia dell-Arte.

You sent me the colours of a summer’s dawn 
On the morning of Solstice, last year. 
Wedding band gold and Bridie’s slipper pink,
Just one small, shy honeysuckle flower…
But it was enough to make your feelings clear. 

The bloom then faded, and it followed the Sun 
On its passage down to the Underworld, 
I looked every day, but no more have come. 
Yet your passion for me will last and last, 
For long after this life’s romance is done. 

You make love to me in every dimension, 
In every realm, but not, it seems, this one. 
I know you’re there, hiding in your creation 
Your love song, your maya simulation 
That masks you from the sight of my heart.
The juggler, the trickster, the mercurial mixer
Of this Venetian carnival’s Commedia Dell’arte. 

Sometimes you leave me tiny dew-drop diamonds 
To show you care, to show you’re really there 
In my night garden at dusk; then at midnight 
You come in my dreams to spirit me away
And up the stairway to paradise, 
To paradise … and your Divine Play.
