This cover of „Smalltown Boy“ is a true masterpiece! Aline Tamby's powerful voice, combined with François Tamby's expressive guitars, bass, and drums, gives the song a whole new dimension. The emotional depth and authentic interpretation make this version truly special. I bow to both of you – an impressive reimagining! 🎶✨​

   A song that rocked my late teens; I've always loved the lyrics, the "Kenloachian" video, Jimmy Somerville's voice and the melody, but much less the synthetic arrangements and 80s production. It's a world far removed from our own, so we've freely reinterpreted the song in our own way...

 Une chanson qui a bercé ma fin d'adolescence ; j'ai toujours aimé les paroles, le clip "Kenloachien", la voix de Jimmy Somerville et la mélodie, mais beaucoup moins les arrangements synthétiques et la production des années 80. C'est un monde très éloigné du nôtre,  nous avons donc librement réinterprété la chanson à notre façon...

I often wonder what people are talking about when they write the usual "love" song: my love is higher than a mountain/deeper than a sea/Iit will last forever ( then they add a day. great line John Prine!!)
I really think these songs do a disservice to love and confuse the inexperienced as to what to expect.
Relationships are not easy. Love at first sight is usually more physical than not and so is fragile . 
Respect/devotion/selflessness to some extent are all needed among other difficult traits to make a relationship ( ie love) last through time

lyrics

Love is not a gentle breeze
that takes you where you want to go
love is work
love is hard
not pretty birds singing in your yard

Love doesn't happen at first sight
It's not about soulmates or perfect fits
Love is give
Love is take
And do what you must 
to fix the breaks

It's about forgive it's about forget
It's not just about sex or lust
patience
trust
passion 
devotion

Love is biting your lip
It's about clenching your toes
Take the blows
take the bows
make it work
no matter how

Love is not quitting
or turning your back
take the good
with the bad
take the happy 
with the sad

Love is not the highest mountain
Love is not the deepest sea
Love is two people there for each other
Hand in hand before all others
and especially before themselves

Love is..(or isn't)

Before The Sakura Fall

This song is again recorded with my phone. (Next probably a DAW song!) Motörhead has a cover of "Johnny B. Goode", so I Iistened to the original from the 50s! Chuck Berry Rock ‘n Roll. The intro is great, there are more songs with similar intros. They are so cool that I wanted to learn them at the end of last year and did. In this song, I just use my version of it as the intro. I play it a little lower so it's appropriate for my song. The last chord of the intro is the 1st chord of my song, except I play it as a power chord instead of a major chord. Some of my intro version is pretty much like the original, some is my version. It's really fun to play with these Rock ’n Roll intros, I could do it for hours. In one of the covers of the songs with these intros, the one with Beethoven in the title, there's an orchestral version of Beethoven's famous symphony at the beginning. I wanted that too, but of course only on my guitar, so I made up a guitar version of it and put it in front of the Rock ‘n Roll intro. Only after that my own song begins. It's even more freely than my 1st song here. I know the chords and riffs and lyrics, but decide always when playing when to change the riff. So the recording is a way for me to learn to produce one special version and not play it differently each time. You will hear that it is played and sung very freely. So consider it as a song performance for friends, not really a well-structured and finished song. Furthermore, I play nearly everything as slides, so it is harder to play then it sounds. I wanted to play it a bit faster, but it was not possible, this is the fastest drum accompaniment my amplifier has, it doesn't go any faster. One the other hand, for some parts of the lyrics it would be really difficult to sing it any faster.
Since someone asked for the lyrics of my last song I provide it here:
Guitar Heros
Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix gave us all the great licks
Angus Young, so alive, plays day and night
Eternal guitar riffs sound so loud
Make Berry’s Rock’n’Roll proud

Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Eddie van Halen’s fire hand, Tony Iommi’s powerful band
And not forget all the women of Rock:
Lita Ford’s solos wild and bold
Joan Jett’s chords breaking the mold
From their style I find my own
Like from seeds they have sown
With their songs I find my way
Getting better every day
Discovering riffs old and new
Offers a lesson for me and you
For me and you, for me and you

やや意訳なんですけど訳詞を付けておきます。

夜空を見上げると、いつも思うんだ
あの星の向こうには何があるのかと
あの時の感覚は、今と変わらない
君の瞳を見つめるこの瞬間と

君が僕を見つめるとき
愛と光と君が僕のために創った世界が見える
君の心の奥で
I'm Wondering Again 
（僕はまた感じる。あの星を見つめつ時の感覚を）

僕はよく海辺を歩く
潮にさらわれるように
その音楽は、あの瞬間を思い出させる
初めて君の魂に触れた時を

開かれた空へ！
海に　風に　叫び　願う
僕らが分かち合う愛が夜明けと共に帰ってきますように
I'm Wondering Again 
（僕はまた思いを巡らすんだ）

未来は自分に何をもたらすのか？
その謎に僕は惹かれてる
それは自然なこと
知りたい　君はどこにいる？
僕の心の奥深くにも君がいる
I'm Wondering Again 
（心は不思議な喜びと驚きに再考を繰り返す）

Wondering Again

“What you leave as a legacy is not what is etched in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
— Anonymous
"So many who were remembered already forgotten, and those who remembered them long gone." 
— Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor and a Stoic philosopher)

This reflection on the sobering fact that our time on earth for most of us will not impinge upon the memories or future historical knowledge of generations to come, was inspired by a chance remark by my grandson who described an old photo of his younger self as not looking like him at all, and that he suspected his parents had just hung up a photo on the wall of some random boy. He was speaking in jest of course, but what we say can have consequences, and this song is one!

Lyrics:
He was just a random boy in a picture on the wall
No one claimed to know him, or if he was real at all
He was just a random choice to put in that wooden frame
And one day he’ll be replaced by another with another no name

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But maybe somewhere, maybe sometime
He was more than just a face

Will there ever be some random picture of me on somebody’s wall as well?
Will they dine & drink, make love, take drugs, while I stare, stare but never tell?
I have a name and I have a life, but if they should glance at me
They’ll think I’m just a random boy, there’ll be nothing, nothing else to see

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But I know somewhere, I know sometime
I was more than just a …

(Random boy) Oblivious (A random boy) Indifferent
(Just a random boy) You stand in a world of your own
But the random boy staring back at you was cast . . .
in flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and ……
