Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

EYES WIDE OPEN

The leaves are changing
There’s a chill in the air
So many people
Walking the same path

I hope they know
I hope they see

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

I’m on another hill
I watch as they pass me by
They seem to know
They have their destination

I hope they know
I hope they see

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

Such a wondrous time
So many colors
So many lives

All joined together
Some left behind
There’ll be another day
Another day

I chose a different road
I chose a different way
And now my eyes are open
My eyes are wide open

Eyes Wide Open

I sang this a couple of years ago, but with some bad sound.. So i try again :)

The End Of The World (Cover)

Suffocated by my dreams terrorized by my life. 

Conversations in my mind creep through secret tunnels, stepping out into the light of open spaces. 

I feel the blood draining from my face, as I hear whispers of denial from pristine cages mingling with homeless mothers. 

Who loved the day and pray for another. 

The dying embers of freedom colors are fading into the blackest of nights. 

Walking through shadows that leave the mist of time, my fingers are holding fragment of what’s left of my life


My Dear

It takes a second to say goodbye… or say hello! My second @ GarageBand attempt, back from 2019! Quite a bit rusty on the guitars, but it fostered some insights and inspiration, to get back to recording, after 16 years of @ not!😎 there’s a piano and organ in there, somewhere, as well! Hope you dig a discursive jam 😇

Lyrics:

Thought I had everything I needed to feel free
But somewhere along the way, I lost me
Without direction, or knowing what to do
I blamed you...

I had a vision of finding something more
A stronger me
But I wasn't sure
where to look, I had no clue
So I blamed you....

I searched every corner, but still couldn't find
The freedom I was looking for
I went blind
Didn't even consider to look for the truth
I just blamed you....

I got tired of searching around
My longing for freedom
I just couldn't find
Couldn't bear to look anymore
So I blamed you....

What was I thinking? 
Why couldn't I see
My own freedom was always within me
But I was blind
I was a fool
Blamed it all on you.....

I Blamed You

Lost Cause - A song by Beck

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
Make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets, and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fightin'
I'm tired of fightin'
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are goin'
You ain't never been before
There's no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fightin'
I'm tired of fightin'
Fighting for a lost cause

Modulations Crépusculaire ....
Au sens propre de l'expression : Petits cercles abaissés au-dessous de l'horizon, que l'on peut observer souvent, où le soleil disparu n'éclaire plus la terre que par les reflets du ciel ….
Au sens figuré: Formes de déclin ou aussi d'altérations transitoire de la conscience, comme un somnolence qui peut envahir celle-ci.
Musicalement pourrez vous en définir le sens ici?

Avec la voix de Clara Sorace .... https://clarasorace.com/


Modulations Crepuscular ....
In the literal sense of the expression : Small circles lowered below the horizon, which can often be observed, where the sun has disappeared, illuminating the earth only through the reflections of the sky ....
Figuratively: Forms of decline or even transient alterations of consciousness, such as a drowsiness that can invade it.
Musically, can you define the meaning here?

My baby
Mmm my baby

Never leave me
I don't wanna end up alone...

Stay with me
Never leave me
I don't wanna end up alone....

I will love you
Never leave you
Always hold you
Right beside me
So you will never end up alone...

My baby

So good together
And we will never end up alone...

Mmmmm.....

Mmmmm.....

HE’S A TWO WHEELED MAN C’EST MONSIEUR BICYCLETTE 
COMME JACQUES TATI DANS JOUR DE FÊTE 
AND HE BROKE EIGHT RIBS AND HE CRASHED HIS BICYCLE
BUT NOW THE MAN IS BACK IN THE SADDLE
DO YOU REMEMBER THE BAND 
LICORICE ROOTS WAS THE NAME 
CHECK THEM OUT MAN I’M A FAN 
ALTHOUGH THEY HARDLY MET FAME

HE’S THE BIRTHDAY MAN
IN HIS USED WETSUIT
CHASED BY SOME RACOON POLICE FOR HIS SUSPICIOUS ROOT 
AND HE STICKS TO HIS STICKS THE SAME OLD LICKS
ONCE A DRUMMER DAVE A DRUMMER FOREVER
YOU PLAY YOUR MELODEON 
JE SORS MON ACCORDÉON 
AND WE MAY START A NEW BAND 
POTENTIALLY HITTING FAME

DO YOU REMEMBER THE BAND 
LICORICE ROOTS WAS THE NAME 
AS LONG AS THEY HAVE ONE FAN 
THE SONG WILL REMAIN THE SAME

YOU GOT IT ALL
IT SEEMS TO ME
25 YEARS OF THE VERY BEST COMPANY 
LAURA MATT KITTIE MOLLY
L’AMOUR LA MER LES PHOQUES ET 55 BOUGIES

LICORICE ROOTS (Lyrics) Song for Dave

this one pretty much wrote itself when i found myself staring at a blank sheet of paper for ages,
tapping my pen annoyingly and waiting for something to happen........a live take with a bit of piano........cheers for having a listen......



           PEN TO PAPER 
 
my pen can write a letter of love
describe to you the stars above
congratulate you on your gain
comfort you when your in pain

console you in your time of need
tell you that you're loved indeed
but if i told you how i feel today
my pen would be cruel

my pen can sign my life away
to own a house i'll never pay
then write it in a thank you note
for the monstrous debt that i now owe

my pen has got me in trouble deep
sometimes so much i cannot sleep
if i were to write about myself
my pen would be cruel

i don't pretend to understand
what's going on upstairs
i just try to keep it to myself
sometimes it's better, to hide it all away
i know to you that that don't make much sense

my pen can tell you how and why
my love for you could never die
write the words with even flow
so you would never have to know

my pen is guarded at the gate
it hides my secrets can't escape
and if they did then you would know
my pen can be so cruel

misanthropy, philanthropy, 
evilness and empathy    
my pen belongs in their mirrored halls
it's inky eye looks through them all

there's nothing it can't see right through
the things you thought that no one knew
now written there right in front of you
the pen can be so cruel

my pen can talk what i can't speak
and go where i don't want to be
from a prison cell to a sunburst sky
turn the truth against a lie

write a wrong into a right
turn a long day into night
the burden can be so heavy
when the pen can be so cruel

Pen To Paper

Hey…. Thanks for dropping by. April 21st, fresh snow on the ground that hopefully will melt off by the end of the day. Yesterday, I was out transplanting some small Lupine and Columbine plants from out of the lawn. They grew there from seed that spilt from nearby flowerbeds. I put them into a rock garden I recently refurbished. I pulled all the rocks out, dug down to get all the invasive grass roots out, and rebuilt it with a few extra rocks. After that chore, I dug up several Spruce seedlings from the Spruce trees I planted here decades ago. Those little saplings grew up under a lilac bush, so I moved them out into open areas in the backyard. They probably won’t get to be 3 feet tall by the time I pass from this mortal coil, as I am old, but I plant them anyway b/c they’ll most likely still be here when I am gone. Ha. I have been transplanting a lot of volunteer flower plants into my neighbor’s yard, from my vegetable garden in preparation for Spring planting. They find their way into the garden, by wind, bird or however, and I just let them grow, but soon there’s more flowers than vegetables, so I find them new homes. Lastly, I replaced the wonky wheel and axle assembly on my old wheelbarrow, held together by hose clamps, during a snowy day last week, with a wheel from a wheelbarrow I recently got from a pile of free stuff (junk) out on the road, that a neighbor was tossing out. The barrow was cracked, but the wheel/axle were fine. Now I am ready to roll. That is how Spring is here in the mountains…. So several years back, there was quite a large pack of dogs that would freely run around our rural neighborhood. They lived here and loved being able to roam. When I first saw them on my way to the mailbox, they did not know me, and several dogs growled at me. (Rightly so.) Ha. It was a standoff moment for sure. So I just laughed at them. They were not anticipating that. So from then on, we’d have some fun whenever I saw them. Most of those dogs have died over the years. It was sad to see them go. So I included them in this song. I hope you like it. Mark
