Happy and Sad (Mother)

Verse 1:
If my mother were alive today
The world would be a very strange place
She did not use the internet, never touched a computer
If my mother could see me now

Chorus 1 2 & 4:
She would be so proud, happy, disappointed, and sad.

Verse 2:
Yes she would be all of those things
She would be proud that I have achieved so much in my life
She would be happy that I have a lovely family

Chorus 3:
If my mother were alive today
She would be so proud,
proud, happy, disappointed, and sad.

Verse 3:
I got an education, held good jobs, provided for my family
She would be disappointed with my religious values
She would be sad that I have lost contact with my relatives

Unused lyrical idea:
The world today would be a place of wonder and confusion

Get out on the land and find your own freedom

This is a song i wrote inspired by current events and our loss of freedoms and human rights,its a protest track but the lyrics are open to
interpretation.
[out here in the fields i fight for my meals -Pete Townsend ]
[power to the people-John lennon]
If music and writing songs has taught me anything its that music and words can reach and enlighten people and hopefully cause changes for the better ...heres to a peaceful protest and the future [jim april 2021]
lyrics 
Taking away your rights for a peaceful protest
they tried to make you part of the test
Dont believe the lies your told on the bbc
or a digital screen for impossible dreams
you gotta take it for a while and not hold back
shouldnt live in fear of your own land
all those big conspiracies and pharmaceutical brands
in your hands
chorus
in the end when a dream goes bad what will become of you
if you think to hard these illusions of freedom
will get inside of you

taking away the reason for a peaceful life
we are all balanced on the edge of a knife
oh beautiful freedom your like a long lost friend 
makes me sit and wonder when its gonna end
it haunts the shadows and the empty rooms
cant see the footprints where the flowers used to bloom
if you had a choice you would be over the moon 
and not too soon

power to the people
you gotta make a change
looking at the land below
everything is dis-enganged
power ti the country
your fate is in your hands
dont let the bastards grind you down
reach out and all join hands

illusion of freedom

Wenn Du weinst oder lachst
oder beides
Wenn Du schweigst oder schreist 
oider beides
Wenn Du hungerst oder isst
oder beides
Wenn Du arm oder reich bist
oder beides
Wenn Du willst oder nicht 
oder beides
Wenn Du lebst oder tod bist 
oder beides
Wenn Du gehst oder stehst
oder beides
Wenn Du trinkst oder durst hast
oder beides

Denn ist uns das hier scheiß egal
denn wir sind hier und Du bist so weit weg
Wir leben hier in saus und braus
und Du in schmutz krankheit und dreck


Wir
heucheln und lügen
oder beides 
fressen und saufen
oder beides
kaufen und verkaufen
oder beides
haben alles und mehr
oder beides
verschwenden wasser und luft
oder beides
verkaufen Tod und Leid
oder beides
Wir saugen alles aus und auf
oder beides
Wir trinken Blut oder Bier
oder beides


Denn uns ist alles scheiß egal
wir leben hier und jetzt und das ist toll
Alle könnten leben so wie wir
nur nicht bei uns denn hier ist´s voll

Scheissegal

Delighted that Tim agreed to join the fun on this track, adding an array of guitars, bass and other sprinklings of magic from his box of tricks.  Please listen to his great songs at @penelopes-thrill.

Stop 
start spinning around
my head can barely hear a sound

Fold yourself in crowds
Do you never find the words 
to say out loud?
oh

Bloodshot be more kind
Did you say that we get better over time?
Oh no
Find yourself sunshine
Did you mean it when you said that you were fine?
Oh no

Are you homesick 
lost in other lives?
by the old bricks
built to bridge the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news..

Burn
blue skying bear
is there nothing left that's standing there
any more?

Are you homesick
lost between the lights?
By the old bricks
built to scrape the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

Find yourself a life sometimes
Douse yourself in brightest lights
You can(n't) fool all of the people all of the time

It's a good day for bad news
(when there's nothing to see
but the sky burning blue
it's a good day for bad news
When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to take
It's a good day for bad news).

It's a good day for bad news..

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...
