5.23.25 A Fatal Strategy

I, I got one I love so much
I got one I love so much
Hold her tight whispering sweet nothings
I can’t let go

Monday morning stretching out and yawning
Stretching out and yawning
Splash my face, get some coffee
In my robe

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

Friday night nestled in your arms
Nestled in your arms
Another week gone isn’t lost
Weekend begun

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

Felt like giving up
Throwing in the towel
Giving up is something that
I’ve never done

Maybe if I could find someone
To explain it
Maybe if I could find someone
Then I’d understand how lucky I am

I Felt like giving up
Throwing in the towel
Giving up is something that
I’ve never done

I've heard part of this lead guitar before in someone else's song..  and it's doing my head in... I want to find out what I've possibly encroached... If anyone can put a name to it I would be very grateful... 🤔 I'd like to check it and adjust if it's too close... My hunch is the timing will keep my piece original enough and I think it's also the reason I can't think of it ... Musical mind control haha


Timing 7/1 (Hat tip to Pink Floyd song Money which ia 7/4)

I used 7/8 in the end as I wasn't feeling the gait 7/4 gives you at 33bpm, my random-ish bpm. Has a nice psychotic hijack reference anyways...

Tempo 33 BPM (The number of the Bus in the movie Speed)

Added electric guitar lead with the piano and vox


Page > Screen
To reiterate my opinion on using a pen and paoer vs a screen... It's break from the square light. You are less distracted plugging yourself out of that wireless matrix. Like I alude to in the song about books vs videos... I heard JRE parrot a while ago that he thinks videos are the same for absorbing info as books... I completely disagree. He'sa sales man selling his semi real world... For absorbing something with technical information only... maybe... But for creating your own opinion on something and merging that better with an author or creator... Books give you pause to create your own solid thoughts about something. You give yourself ponder time where as being led by a film maker you must accept their flow more then an author and a book... I think anyways... The more I think about it again it comes back to the screen as the distraction to your clear thought... It's not just the light in fa tvits not that. It's the subliminal association and the mode tour brain will inconsciously go into when you are surfing the matrix... You in dumb down mode locked into reels and shorts so does that trigger it all the time at some level given so many people are so used to that as normal.. just expanding on that Incase you get a half assed unplug by writing on a tablet  ... My lyrics I think have vastly improved since I decided to only write that way again... i never write on a screen now only to type them out

Lyrics

We used to barter
Comparable value
Traditional
Social
For our kids, we haggled
Then money washed over the world
Value became a nothingness unfurled
New control of will
Weakened minds
Money now pill
Permanent mine, to mine.
It mines your mind,
Materialism
It boils your love with fake physical schism
It melts your zealed connection to neighbour
It took sharing away
Now feeds capital (online = plugged into the matrix spend more spend more no connectivity with life) flavour
This flavour tastes bitter to me
I spat out the sweet with good Nepali
Temple balled brain says we need new way
Let's dissect this finance let song have a say

So many angles but credit king cruel
Imaginary money forms more digital druel
The advert macvhine moves to highjack minds
I want it
They have it
We must be... It's mine
Mining your mind in multiple ways
Oh a headline,
Wow, now I'm an expert I say
Man, I saw this tik tok short
Now ion this universe I can report
My buddy knows it and musk says it's true...
It 'must' be what real world has shown us...
Rogan ' wrong.
Video can be shallow
A book gives you pause
Make your own true made swallow.

Hijacked hymn
Come on home again

Show yourself
Read the article
Whole documentaries paint small parts of this
Combined info. will find you honest
The mis-informed can become all honours
But you need to know how and what you are told
It's your muted love brings your subliminal bold
See the world
Confirm it's true
Forget the news
Go outside
Like trees do

Oh Hijacked hymn
You're coming home again
With reasons rule
Just candle light for you

Hijacked

"If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present." - Roy T. Bennett

A Monday piano improvisation...Wishing everyone listening happiness today.

Happiness

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime- (Solo Version)

🤍🎶Cette chanson que j’ai écrite à partir du livre « Mon zèbre s’est tué » écrit par Hélène Decherf-Défossez, un texte clamé à plusieurs voix lors d’un salon littéraire, qui ne pouvait pas rester dans un tiroir.✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮ J’ai voulu lui donné une autre dimension en composant une musique à partir de la voix de Nina pour renforcer le dialogue entre une mère et un fils.⋆｡°✩ Le dernier tableau est la vie qui s'en va...
🤍🎶This song was inspired by the book "Mon zèbre s’est tué" by Hélène Decherf-Défossez. Originally performed as a spoken word piece by multiple voices at a literary event, it was a text that couldn’t stay in a drawer.✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮ I wanted to give it a new dimension by composing music around Nina’s voice, to deepen the dialogue between a mother and her son. ⋆｡°✩The last scene is life fading out…

Texte : 
[Verse 1]
J’aurais aimé te le dire encore,
Te prendre un instant dans mes bras,
Te voir viser un nouveau record,
Et rire un peu, comme autrefois.
Tu partais léger, globe-trotteur,
Les capitales au bout des doigts,
Chaque instant vécu à toute heure,
Ivresse de vivre, pleine de joie.
[Verse 2]
Pendant ce temps, je tenais mon rôle,
À éveiller, former, tendre la main.
C’est dur parfois, quand la foule s’affole,
De rester humain, de garder le lien.
Tant se perdent dans des malentendus,
Des mots trop lourds ou mal lancés.
Moi non plus, je n’en suis pas exclue,
Combien d’amitiés sont effacées…
[Chorus 1]
La vie parfois ne tient qu’à un fil,
Par confiance ou bien par insouciance,
On prend la route, désir subtile,
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Verse 3]
Je m’évade souvent quand je pense à toi,
À tes silences, à ton monde sans nouvelles.
J’invente des routes, des éclats de joie,
Des souvenirs posés comme des aquarelles.
Parfois j’espère, un peu candide,
Que tu penses à moi, quelque part.
Dans un miroir, un soir limpide,
L’écho discret de ce qu’on partage. 
[Verse 4]
J’ai compris que tu es à Lisbonne ! 
J’aurais parié sur Barcelone.
J’te jure, mon cœur s’est un peu serré,
Trop de silence, trop de temps passés…
Tu m’as dit rendez vous, samedi 
Tu passes avant voir ta chérie.
T’as juste une chose à faire, une dinguerie,
Et pour tes vingt ans, ce sera la folie ! 
[Chorus 2]
At times, life hangs on just one thread,
In trust too deep, or light mischance,
We walk a path where dreams have bled,
Then slip away, lost in the dance. 
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Outro]
La vie est un risque, c’est aussi ce qui la rend belle,
Chaque instant partagé cache une fragilité.
On cherche à briller, à faire des étincelles,
Portés par le vent, parfois sur le fil.
On avance, guidés par nos propres éclats,
À vouloir tout vivre, tout comprendre ici-bas.
Et c’est peut-être là, tout à la limite du vertige,
Qu’on se demande soudain : qu’est-ce qui nous dirige ?
[Chorus 1]
La vie parfois ne tient qu’à un fil,
Par confiance ou bien par insouciance,
On prend la route, désir subtile,
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Chorus 2]
At times, life hangs on just one thread,
In trust too deep, or light mischance,
We walk a path where dreams have bled,
Then slip away, lost in the dance. 
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse.

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime
