SPARKLE OF THE GOLDEN DREAM

After I wrote Leone a friend suggested that the song told too much of the story.  Since he's a proper successful musician who knows a lot I took his advice to heart.  I changed the lyrics so that they told less of the story.  I suppose he was right about the song, but I never felt completely satisfied with the results.  lI suppose I've felt that the new version, the one that's been on this site for a long time, was somehow less honest.  So I've restored the original lyrics, remixed and remastered the song.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Verse 2:
I really didn’t know her at all
But even now I remember her name
The thing thing that made her easy to recall
Her name and her car’s were exactly the same

Chorus 1:
Leone was a friend of my first wife
After we split I didn’t see her any more
A Subaru Leone - that's the car that she drove
They stopped making those cars in 1994

Verse 3:
I’m not going to tell you the story
You can look it up for yourself
Boxing Day 2004
If you’re old enough you'll remember it well

Verse 4:
She was lost with so many
A quarter of a million on that day alone
So many people died on that day
But Leone was the only one I’d ever known

Chorus 2:
Tragedies happen all of the time
Somewhere in the world every day
We've all felt the ripples in time
No matter how far away

Verse 5:
Big stories and small
All those beginnings and ends
Leone's final story was sad story
It’s mostly remembered by her family and friends

Verse 6:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Leone (original lyrics)

Barricade is from the Hope Street album 'Dead Already Power'.

Barricade

[Verse]
Wanderin' streets cold and gray
Hollow eyes lookin' away
Once strong hearts now fade so fast
Whispers echoin' of the past

[Verse 2]
Rustlin' winds call my name
Innocence in ruins lies in shame
Tough skin replaced by tender cries
Fightin' for truth a sea of sighs

[Chorus]
Why so tender in this storm?
Strength lost its ragged form
World used to be so rough and free
Now it's all fragility

[Verse 3]
Once proud fighters stand aloof
Ashes cover youth's old proof
Blades blunt where steel once shone
Streets haunted by the weak enthroned

[Verse 4]
What happened to the resolute men?
Bowin' heads again and again
Voices silenced eyes turned down
Vibrant colors fade to brown

[Chorus]
Why so tender in this storm?
Strength lost its ragged form
World used to be so rough and free
Now it's all fragility


Fragility

If the Celtic god Hu Gardn was setting out to seduce Gaia, the goddess of Earth, he might sing her a lusty fertility song like this one. Hu is the mythical operator of The Plough constellation, which rises in the night skies at Spring in the northern hemisphere. 

I wrote the lyrics and then Andreas (@APi_ZZ) found our Hu vocalist on Suno, and dusted him down with some of his extra special magic dust — and this is the result. We hope you like it. 

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady,
Meet me at dark, under the light of the moon.
I yearn for my sap to throb into life for you,
And the hawthorn buds to burst into bloom
Under the glistening downfall of silver dew,
At the rustling whisper of your passing. 

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady
Before the pink fingers of dawn discover us there.
I hunger to press you against the trunk of an oak
While I caress you and whisper spells in your ear,
Magical words to make your knees grow weak
And your blood to buzz like honeybees.

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady
And let my eyes drink in your voluptuous curves
Your pert, soaring peaks and wooded valleys
Your rounded hills, orchards and vineyards.
I ache to breathe in your musky belly
And swim in your fragrant waterfalls. 

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady
Let me guide your hand to my blade that awaits
Throbbing and ardent, my ithyphallic organ.
I am Hu that ploughs the Astral Plains,
The husbandman of your night garden
I am here to plough your furrow. 

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady.
Let me kneel in the grass at your toe-ringed feet,
I long to stroke your slender legs, the envy of swans.
And lay you down in the love-in-the-mist,
And decorate your navel to your Venus Mons
With passiflora, clematis and hot lips.

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady
Let me gaze deeply into your bluebell-wooded eyes
I lust to run amuck in your flower beds like a roebuck
Glorying in the soft scented warmth of your thighs, 
Until no lily remains unlicked, no honey unsuckled,
No butterfly that hasn’t been kissed.  

Come into the Wildwoods, my Lady
And mount me, straddle me ‘till the cock crows,
I must slake my thirst from your honeyed streams
And bury my face in your purple silken folds,
In your ambrosia nectars, ‘till I can hardly breathe
In wonder at such a love divine.

You may recognise the lyrics -  we've reimagined Eleanor Farjeon's hymn Morning Has Broken (made famous by Cat Stevens and Rick Wakeman) for the 21st century by giving it a modern choir arrangement in the style of John Rutter and John Taverner, via Udio. 

Words:

Morning has broken 
like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
Praise for the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing 
fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain’s new fall
sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall 
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness 
of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness 
where God’s feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! 
Mine is the morning
born of the one light 
Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, 
praise every morning,
God’s recreation 
of the new day!

Morning

Light me up a cigarette 
Its better then a friend
Its wrapped inside my head again 
The words you never said
Or maybe its the lies you told
It’s fucking with my head
It keeps me up late at night
The words you never met
I might have to run from you
You’ll beat me till I’m dead
You want to eat me alive
You’ll drink the blood I bled
I can see it in your eyes
You love the tears I shed
You can’t wait to stomp me out
You wanna paint me red

You rely on those drugs just to make up for your shitty life
I probably shouldn’t say this but fuck it, I got time 
even off the 420 I still fucking hate you 
would you please stop texting me, no, I don’t wanna date you 
get your hand up off that gun, I don’t wanna play with you 
You’re fucking up my life again and this is why I hate you 
If I say the word would you take it back 
If I say the word would you say it back 
Would you hold my hands when my strings detach 
Would you take my love for the shit I lack

Light me up a cigarette 
Its better then a friend
Its wrapped inside my head again 
The words you never said
Or maybe its the lies you told
It’s fucking with my head
It keeps me up late at night
The words you never met
I might have to run from you
You’ll beat me till I’m dead
You want to eat me alive
You’ll drink the blood I bled
I can see it in your eyes
You love the tears I shed
You can’t wait to stomp me out
You wanna paint me red

Chasing The Next

I wrote the lyrics and then fed them into Suno, which did the rest, but also... big thanks to Andreas (@APi_ZZ) for fixing the outro.

Words:

Do you dream of me too? 
Or is it just me that imagines you
Sliding down in my bed, next to me
And through the night of a million stars,
Rowing our boat along the river of lights,
The Milky Way? 

Do you dream of me too?
Do you feel my arms and legs round you
In your bed, pressed up against you?
Can you feel my hot breath on your ear
Kissing and whispering to you
Songs of Paradise?

[Chorus]
Oh, where are you tonight?
In my heart, you're a familiar sight
Are you waiting in the shadows, just for me?
Drawing closer in my dreams, where we're meant to be
I can feel you in the whispers of the breeze
In the quiet moments, you're the peace that I seek
With every dawn breaking, I search for your face
Hoping someday soon, we’ll bridge this space

Do you dream of me too?
Do you feel me wrapped around you
In your bed, pressed up against you?
Can you feel my hot breath on your ear
Kissing and whispering to you
Songs of Paradise?
