“I remember that I'm invisible and walk softly so as not awake the sleeping ones. Sometimes it is best not to awaken them; there are few things in the world as dangerous as sleepwalkers.”
~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

Second-Hand Dagger-Proof Coat

A powerful song about a soldier who's stationed abroad in a war stricken zone and deeply longs for his precious family as everything is now washed away and gone. The cold and dusty haze, the land that's all torn up and distraught has simply become all too much to bear.

War is never pretty and so let us give love and deep gratitude to our veterans, to the soldiers who sacrifice/d and bring great justice and freedom to all...they are also suffering tremendous mental torture...the dark remnants of what they endured is forever lingering inside them...let us help make a difference by showing our deep regard and respect...to also give love and understanding, to help them recover and feel happiness again - May this song fill everyone up with endless love and positivity - XO

Thank you so much Dear Colin for Family, this magnificent reigning work of pop-rock art...Your music is an absolute joy to me...your friendship and belief in me keep me bliss-fully-hyped-up-&-energized....My deepest heartfelt gratitude and love for all that you have given me on Milky Ocean and now on Family...I look so forward to our next songs together,  Rekha - XO-XO-XO

Family – Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a. REKHA - IYERN [Fe], (Written on Feb 22nd, 2020)

My head is full of precious memories
Sweet and Dear
Where I long to be
With my family who love me
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oh, Oh-Oh  

The time has come when all is in the past
I’m finally free, free at last
Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo-Wo
No more call of special duty
For all is washed away and gone
But I am still strong
Holdin’ on, on, on  
Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh

Chorus

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me, (Ee-Ee-Ee-Ee)

Family, my family  
(Nothing’s ever gonna break us apart)

I feel alone, so alone
In the cold and dusty haze
Far abroad in the land
All torn up and distraught
I tried so hard to help the people
I tried my best  
But couldn’t, couldn’t save them all
(Sometimes I feel so small)

Family, family
How I just wanna be with my family
The one’s who’ll wait
The one’s who’ll always  
Stand by me
Hey-Ee, Eh-Ee-Yeah
Family, my family

(Break)

I am so weak
And just need my strength
You can only get it back  
From those who truly love me  

Family, family
The one’s I love
The one’s who I want
So, so near, we’re made
Hoh-Oo, Wo-Oo, Wo-Oo, Oh-Oo-Wo

(Outro)

Family, family
Yeah-Yeah
My precious family
Precious family
Oh Yeah

https://soundcloud.com/specialvocals/aca-meme-planete - this free acapella by Special Cecilia was the icing on a track I've been working on.  I've used a vocal pitch tool to make the vocals suit my track, so if there's  any strange effects: my responsibility - I hope I succeeded ! Enjoy !!! ------ My solo: played with the Akai EWI + the awesome Respiro VSTi by imoxplus / Belgium

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Lyrics

What about salvation?
(Asking for a friend)
Is it too late to learn guitar?
(Asking for a friend)
What about reincarnation?
(Asking for a friend)

Is New York already safe?
(Asking for a friend)
Has the debate taught us anything?
(Asking for a friend)
Can crises be averted?
(Asking for a friend)

Can I get myself into new Zealand?
(Asking for a friend)
Can one get oneself tested?
(Asking for a friend)
Is love still a proposition?
(Asking for a friend)

The title was taken from a tweet by Sean Ono Lennon, when he 'asked for a friend' (#askingforafriend) if it is possible to get a resident permit in New Zealand.
