20 Years An Ice Pop

This is the very first song that impressed me as a teenager in my college folk club. Two ordinary-looking male engineering students stood up, harmonized and made this song come alive and ring out. Several decades later, I have done my own version

In England in 2023, English folk music is largely scorned (in England only; there is more respect in other UK nations) and is the butt of many popular myths and jokes. Some of us persevere in this unpromising field, withstanding any mockery... (so far).

In English public houses and bars, before radio & TV entertainment kept everybody indoors from 1952 onward, everybody then alive had a party-piece (often from childhood) that could be performed in public for friends and family or in a public house.  And that there, my friends, were (in those days) the last remnants of that there English what-dya-may-callit folk music. Or thereabouts. Some of us survive.

Tendre est la nuit      
Texte de Muette      Chant : Teel      Musique : Alain Illos
 
                                                   
                                                   Nuit très féroce  
                                                   Mâchant les heures  
                                                   A pleines dents,                   
                                                   Ton coup de crosse  
                                                   M’a assommée  
                                                   Et j’ai sombré.  
                                                   Nuit sans douanier   
                                                   Et sans pass’port, 
                                                   Port de partance   
                                                   Vers d’autres rives, 
                                                   Sur le mât de mon corps         
                                                   Enroule ton drapeau noir.  

                                                   Nuit, belle et ténébreuse,  
                                                   Mon voyage sous les cils 
                                                   Ma pause, mon délestage,  
                                                   Mon roulis, ma berceuse. 
                                                   Mon voyage immobile.

                                                              Refrain
                                                   Mes élans sont de cendre, 
                                                   Mes espoirs sont en rade, 
                                                   Dure est la vie, 
                                                   Tendre est la nuit,  
                                                   Comm’ l’a dit Fizgerald.   

                                           
                                               
                                                   Dans mon sommeil trop lourd,
                                                   Dentellière des rêves,   
                                                   Tu soulèves et tu mêles 
                                                   Les fils d’anciennes amours.  
                                                   Vie nocturne, vie diurne : 
                                                   Laquelle est réussie ? 
                                                   Pas de réponse hâtive : 
                                                   La nuit, les morts revivent  
                                                   Et les vivants me cèdent  
                                                   Ce qu’ils refusent ici.  


                                                              Refrain
                                                   Mes élans sont de cendre, 
                                                   Mes espoirs sont en rade, 
                                                   Dure est la vie, 
                                                   Tendre est la nuit,

OH BABY * [Live[ Copyright SCRT Record CO. 2023

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Drank a few beers
And a little rum
At the end of the night
I'd make my way home
Home was a house 
Half way up to the sky
Where I'd look down 
On the birds flying by

When life was so slow
And I did what I pleased
When my days were so full
Many moments to seize
When time was my own
With so much to waste
When life was straightforward
And not two faced

DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED
TAKE IT ALL IN
WHEN WILL IT END
WHERE DID IT BEGIN
NOW I'M SO GRATEFUL
FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS
THE AUTUMNS THE WINTERS
THE SUMMERS AND SPRINGS

But soon that time
Had  gone so fast
And soon that time
That I thought would last
Had disappeared
To who knows where
And all of a sudden
There's no time to spare

Don't Take Life For Granted (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

yeh...a passionate thing going on...lets dreaming of better life

Crazy Love

Singer, arranger, producer and composer.

When younger, I played guitar and sang but now I hope I can do much more. My main interest today is in producing melodic (maybe electronically-enhanced) instrumental tracks. But I do still sing, whenever necessary.  

My roots are in English & Irish folk songs. In 2024, I'm regularly singing sea shanties in public venues.

Regarding life experience|: I've played in bars ("Sing something we know!"), on the street ("Look at that funny man, Mummy!") and in village halls ("When are they serving the food?") but now I embrace the peace that is only found in the studio.
