@watermelontour: He didn't smile much amidst his earthly torments - to think that he might be now is quite uplifting.  Thank you Mark.

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…

Disintegrator Fairy was something we jokingly considered as a band name for about 2 seconds way back when. But at a later date Gina still had the concept in her head and it inspired these lyrics....

I’m not going to beg of you
Plead with you
Or cry to you
I’m not going to give in to the wall
Or bruise my hands against it
I’m not going to shout that you might hear
And I’m not going to undo your cool

Oh they say our demise
Was hardwired from the start
But it’s all atoms, bad energy 
As far as I can see
And I won’t concede defeat
By this force of make-believe
Oh I’m going to be your disintegrator fairy

Built it out of logic 
So fine and so strong
But just let me 
Within your proximity
Like a warm breeze
Down, down brick by brick
Then all at once it’s gone
No need to shout that you might hear
And I won’t undo your cool

I’ll be your disintegrator fairy
I’ll take it down
So easy down down
I’ll take it down
Oh they say our demise
Was hardwired from the start
But it’s all atoms, bad energy 
As far as I can see
And I won’t concede defeat
By this force of make-believe
Oh I’m going to be your disintegrator fairy

Perditus Amor

Night's of Anatolia

Thank you for joining me on another attempt at music. 
This track is to counter some of the doom and gloom that has taken over my mind.
When you look at the statistics of poverty, crime, and human misery, the numbers show that life is getting better for most people. 

lyrics:
no waste
no war
no lonely
no poor
no disease
no crime sprees
enemies

it may seem like
out of our sight
never closer 
than this very night.

you dont have to imagine
all the pieces are in place
love will hold us
science will save

yes peace
yes trees
yes equality
yes love
yes clean free energy
we will rise up
like everyone in time
never closer 
than this very night.

(Not Quite A) Serenade

Interesting how things evolve sometimes.  This little piece was born a few months ago when Debbie listened to a radio programme about the passing of the Mexican singer Vincente Fernandez and was quite taken by his music.  Later that evening, at her piano, subliminal influence did its thing and the basis of (Not Quite A) Serenade emerged.  But what to do with it, where to take it?  As an aside to a separate discussion recently Debbie kindly shared the piece with me and I asked if I might have a think about some words to accompany it – having no immediate preconception of what they might be, or be about.

I could certainly hear “post war Paris” or so I thought, (wrong cultural influence…!) but more careful listening revealed a composition with many facets; now a wry nostalgic smile, now a sinister twist, its emotional sense I placed as somewhere slightly beyond "melancholy" – nearer "wistful sadness" perhaps, a little hint of unease a little trepidation and a sprinkling of regret. The clown with two faces.  This isn’t misery or depression by a long chalk, but the music seemed to suggest that things are not how they ought to have been, ideally, and in its world we’re not looking forward with much optimism.

My lyrical meanderings led me to “The Hollow Wood”, a short poem by Edward Thomas, an English “war poet” from WW1, but not of the visceral, harrowing nature of Sassoon or Owen.  Edward was a troubled man, a tragic figure, his portfolio of work (all of it written in just two years) is often laced with wistful reflections of the natural world of an England that was, or used to be, and the impending uncertain change brought by a world at war. The Hollow Wood, I think, attracts many of the adjectives that Debbie’s (Not Quite A) Serenade might; the poem is emotionally like-minded, it has sparkly uplifting passages, but then some odd, unearthly ones, contrasting moods, conflicting emotions, rumbling unease, two worlds, two faces, light, bright life meets the dark, dank dead.

The Hollow Wood is is one of Edward Thomas’ earlier poems written as they all were after the start of the war, (he was killed in action shortly after being posted to France a couple of years later) and carries deep within it the foreboding sense of gathering clouds portending the hell of extended war in Europe, and beyond .... a sense, an undercurrent, an atmosphere not unlike the present......

I’m honoured and delighted that Debbie granted me the privilege of trying to develop her wonderful music into another space.  You can find her SC channel here: https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking

The Hollow Wood by Edward Thomas (1878-1917)

Out in the sun the goldfinch flits
Along the thistle-tops, flits and twits
Above the hollow wood
Where birds swim like fish -
Fish that laugh and shriek -
To and fro, far below
In the pale hollow wood.

Lichen, ivy, and moss
Keep evergreen the trees
That stand half-flayed and dying,
And the dead trees on their knees
In dog's-mercury and moss:
And the bright twit of the goldfinch drops
Down there as he flits on thistle-tops.

(Not Quite A) Serenade by Debra Buesking with a poem by Edward Thomas

How wonderful it is to work with skilled guitarist and synth artist Seagull and ace guitarist Ed Cunningham on our tribute to the night sky; a favorite pastime of mine in years gone by. I was once an avid amateur astronomer (still have my telescope), until I got caught up in the guitar universe and this wonderful place called Soundcloud.  I still manage to get out now and then to capture a little starlight.  Hear more of Seagull's fine productions @farout-music-studio and Ed's beautiful guitar music @westtracksmusic

Clear And Present
Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe 
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live 
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine 
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind
Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate 
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake 
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes 
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake
—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make 
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate 
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate 
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break 
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late 
to create —-understand and fascinate 
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate 
is gravy to me—— I’mer keep it straight 
everything else ——is a piece of cake
Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me 
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny 
it might take some time ——for all to see 
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti 
infusing the track with—- positive energy 
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency 
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty
Chorus
Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday 
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say 
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way 
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray 
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways 
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today 
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway 
please try to meet me halfway
Chorus
