You have the best words Peter, and you know how to assemble them in such arresting ways.  I also love "plastic grief" sums up the problem so perfectly.

One of the consequencies of such unfolding horror is the ability of a talented song-writer to deliver soul-scolding musical comment - excellent work my friend...

I wish I had your skills if only to tell how good your lyrics are, but I don't so you will have to suffer "Brilliant, just brilliant lyrics. "

..your lyrics, your words ..not to forget. Thank you

Thoughts I can share with you--what a upside world-- keep picking and singing my friend-no time for knots!!

This is much more interesting than reading the media version. So eloquently written.

You speak from a place few dare to even think in

Good Rut		c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Alarm goes off at six each and every workin' day,
Shower, shave, and breakfast, get the kids off on their way.
Same ol' traffic, same ol' job, same reload/replay.
Sometimes it feels like we're in a rut, but you know what? 

Chorus
It's a good rut,
'Cause I got you by my side,
We're in a good rut,
Together we have made this life...
(Into) Somethin' solid we can hold onto.
I'm happy in this good rut with you.


V2
When we met you swore you'd change my wild and crazy ways.
Now it's dinner, TV, bed by 10, darlin' that's ok.
As long as we're together at the end of the day.
We may be in what some folks call a rut...but...

Chorus

Bridge
Without your love I don't know where I'd be...
Thank my lucky stars you stuck with me...in a good rut.



Chorus

Lyrics:

Bodhran’s Dream 

A silver veil hangs sweet and low
The sea pulls her skirt in the wind
Gazing over Tempters cliff, 
The heart calls a future unmet
Two hands upon a timeless face
Who never seem able to meet
But Time has sold what should have been
And I can’t let go of this dream

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others’ arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me.

Holding on to memories
That glisten like pearls on a string
And where this ends, no one can know,
But hope is where all this begins…

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me…. Live it with me…

Hot off the press!  Tonight’s rough and honest one track live take on a little noodled ditty thing. :)
________________________________________________________________

We live in a world of fluff and piffle.  Nothing but fluff and piffle.  

I’m pretty darned old and I can’t remember a time when so much media energy was expended on so much worthless irrelevant trivia at the expense of the real big issues.

If I was more competent at tying knots I’d be tempted to string myself up and be done with it.  But the embarrassment would be simply unbearable, sitting in the hospital Accident and Emergency Department with a partly unravelled noose around my neck and two broken ankles.

It'd be all over the papers.

Not for Long

Toytown time again, on air
Micro trivia issues going spare
Acronymic jokes for every square peg hole
Draped on altars of the woke for the people to behold
While Putins quietly strip the coffers bare.

Issues of the moment hit the press
Seen at the awards wearing someone else’s dress
Watchdogs and agencies baring rotted paper teeth
Victims and their lawyers litigate their plastic grief
Genocide in China clamping liberty’s duress

With my head held high, I kissed the dark
Always tried my best but I’m not that strong.
Kicked the chair away, my swinging starts,
Soon be laid to rest, but not for long.

Had enough of life’s cartoon
Thugs escorted by their comic bristled goons
The sad tale of some cat or millionaire wives’ spat
Who said what to whom and where it’s really at
I’m on my back, I’m screaming at the moon..

With my head held high, I kissed the dark
Always tried my best but I’m not that strong.
Kicked the chair away, my swinging starts,
Soon be laid to rest, but not for long.

Not For Long

It is said that destiny is a foregone conclusion from the beginning of life! And yet each of our actions and decisions change and condition our lives. Our destiny is what we decide it to be, in large part.

Cover of "Two Hungry Blackbirds" by Iron & Wine.
Everything in this track is produced by me, there are no samples.

Lyrics:
Lovers accustomed to tragedy
See every kiss in the window across the street
Breezes and blessings passin' by, oh

I'm in the shade of the dogwood tree
Not the one where you told your name to me
Two hungry blackbirds land nearby, oh

If I could be over you when the sky starts fallin'
Would you be happy under me?
If I could be under you if the Earth was burnin'
Could you be trusted over me?

Spoke to a mother whose baby drowned
Gave me advice, or a rumor she once heard
"Heaven's a distance, not a place," oh

Gave her an ear from the corn we grew
You were away but she gave her thanks to you
That was a year ago come May, oh

If I could be over you when the sky starts fallin'
Would you be smothered under me?
If I could be under you if the Earth was burnin'
Would you be cryin' over me?

I could hear kids in the yard next door
Cats in the brush when the calendar fell down
Wait by the shade-tree one more year, oh

Poetry tempered with tragedy
Tempted and pulled when you cry upon my sleeve
Two flocks of blackbirds meet the air, oh

If I could be over you when the sky starts fallin'
Would you be happy under me?
If I could be under you if the Earth was burnin'
Could you be trusted over me?

Two Hungry Blackbirds - Iron & Wine (Cover)

"Girl from the North Country" (occasionally known as "Girl of the North Country" is a song written by Bob Dylan. It was recorded at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City in April 1963, and released the following month as the second track on Dylan's second studio album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

A large amount of writing and journalistic research has been devoted to trying to ascertain the true identity of who the "Girl" from the North Country might be, and has often been associated with one of Dylan's early girlfriends. It continues to be debated as to whom this song is a tribute. Some claim former girlfriend Echo Helstrom, and some Bonnie Beecher, both of whom Dylan knew before leaving for New York. However, it is suspected that this song could have been inspired by his New York girlfriend, Suze Rotolo" .
