Magnificent. A brilliant original composition, flawlessly performed and recorded. Bravo Mark. You are extraordinarily gifted.

Good morning all you wonderful music loving people. And what a beautiful Monday morning it is; made all the better by this enticing new track Clive (https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo, https://audius.co/winkandw00) and I just finished. It’s our first collaborative effort; and the results are spectacular, if I do say so myself.

As to the backdrop for this piece... it feels surreal, traversing this world of sleepers, lost in their own self-created daydreams and nightmares. It’s a bizarre balancing act, wanting to play a helpful part in this underground movement of consciousness and unconditional love, while also trying to accept that there are many who simply don’t want to wake up from this troubling dream. But in the end, our fate will be shared across the entire planet. And the full range of choices must be recognized and honored, for this grand adventure to play out to its fullest potential.

The old saying ‘It is always darkest before the dawn’ seems like an apt concept to focus on these days. And it’s helpful to remember, great beauty can still arise from the murkiest of waters and most inhospitable of soils. Times might seem dark right now, and we are most definitely heading toward some unprecedented troubling chapters. But it is still just a story; the human story. And we all get to chose our roles, and play our parts. I’m personally quite fond of the ‘kindness and compassion’ approach myself. But there are as many roles to play as there are humans on this planet; so choose wisely, and follow your bliss. In the end, that might be all that matters. 

Clive and I hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ’Stay Asleep’. :)

Stay Asleep | winkandwoo & GrevusAnjl

This solo piano piece is made with noire, partially felt, so I thought I call it Felt, because of the heartfelt melody and ambience. Hope you like it....

Felt

Lyrics;
Summer brought the sunshine
Winter brought the freeze
Spring had sprung me to my feet
You want me falling to my knees

You brushed me off your shoulders
You up and turned your back
The tight rope I've been walking on
Feeling mighty slack

Once we had a fire
Burning hot and bright
Long gone are the embers
And it's pretty cold at night

This race is run
What's done is done
We ran right off the course
No point in pointing fingers
Or beating this dead horse

I remember way back when
On the day you said "I do"
Love me till the day I die
Now I see that wasn't true

And so I'll say goodbye my love
And move on down the line
Thinking of what might have been
Got to get you off my mind

Once we had a fire
Burning hot and bright
Long gone are the embers
And it's freezing cold at night

This race is run
What's done is done
We ran right off the course
No point in pointing fingers
Or beating this dead horse

Dead Horse

poem / copyright jo richter:

der schaukellack blättert
in rostbraunen schuppen
hier spielt kein kind
es sind nadeln im sand

so hochgrau die wand
als taumle tag blind
zwischen staubaugenpuppen
kein vorhangstoff flattert

hier, wo sich sinne nicht nähren
hier sei die anmut zu finden
hatte der seher verkündet

hier, wo güte still schwindet
hier, wo die augen erblinden
kehre sie ein um zu gebären

interlinear translation: fair faced // the veneer on the swings flakes off / in rusty brown scales / there is no child playing / there are needles in the sand // the wall rises high and grey / as though day stumbled blindly / among dusty-eyed puppets / no fabric moves in the windows // here, where senses don't feed / here you will find grace / the seer had prophesized // here, where kind hearts are fading / here, where eyes are blinded / here she'd come to give birth //

love song

Under the cold sky where I walked with you, the distant past of a distant day remains only vaguely.
Tomorrow will be the season of open light.
Am I still sad just remembering you?

Will I see you again?
I remember you.
Those days remain unfulfilled.

I feel as if you are still with me.
On a day when the nostalgic spring is in the air.

I just want to be by your side, my wish is just that.
If we meet again, I want you to hold my hand.

I look back at the waves of people, you are not there.
The repeating blue sky is gorgeous.

Until the day I see you again.

Will I see you again?
I can't go back to those days.
Nothing has changed for me since then.

Will I see you again?
I hold you in my arms and look up at the sky and sing, 
this is a song of love.

I feel as if you are still with me.
On a day when the nostalgic spring is in the air.

I know it's an unfulfilled wish.

I send this to you who disappeared in the sky

愛の歌

君と歩いた寒空の下　遠い日の過去朧げにただ残る

明日は開けた光差し込む季節に成る
ただ君を思い出すだけ悲しいのか

また会えるかな　君を思い出す
あの頃の日々　叶えられぬまま

まだ君がそう、そばにいるのかな
懐かしい春が漂う日

ただそばにいたい　ただそれだけ
また会えるなら　手を繋いで

振り返る　人の群れ　君はいない
繰り返す　青の空　華やか

また会う日まで

また会えるかな　もう戻せない
あの頃からは　何も変わらない

また会えるかな　君を抱きしめ
空見上げ歌う　これは愛の歌

まだ君がそう、そばにいるのかな
懐かしい春が漂う日

もう叶えられぬ願い　分かってる
空に消えていった　君に届け


vocal : SANAGI　@mk-yk
Composition and lyrics : カハルタカオ

Composed in January 2024
