Always loved this one, oh Dolly you are tops in so many ways

It was fun doing this cover, all credit is however due to the lovely Dolly Parton, who wrote it when a bank official made a play for her husband

If you have the inclination come and sing this cover for me and Dolly

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me
Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Oh I Wish

BLACK BIRD II by SUBSONIC DISSIDENCE !
Album BLACK BIRD (2024)

BLACK BIRD II

This is my opera piece: Emotional Concussion. 
This opera piece is written and recorded by Calyx Kre/Calyx Kreations Music Label. 

I thought this opera piece would be better as an a cappella opera version. I wrote this opera piece when I had the upper respiratory infection and it triggered my OCD where I was having panic attacks. I was really sick. 

This opera piece is about my struggles with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) from frequent hand washing to panic attacks and about mental health awareness. Been going through a mental health journey as I’m understanding how self preservation or survival instinct help me to build my music career as a musical artist and social media manager. 

A lot of stuff came up and this opera piece really helped me to cope with my mental health struggles and working through trauma I have been through as a teenager to my early adulthood. 

I started understanding the survival instinct of self preservation in childhood when going through childhood trauma and still being able to protect myself and my music career. 

The title: Emotional Concussion
I have had concussions in the past from being a cheerleader, dancer and working in childcare. The opera piece is also written about the concussion I had when I worked in childcare and how I didn't really have any support when going through a head injury. 

It's also about the trauma I have been working through when I worked in childcare and surrounding myself with negative energy. 

So, double meaning.

Do You Have A Minute? - Jamie Rhind

This is my town,
This is my home town,
And there's my ma,
She's driving the car,
But she don't drive it far

MyTown

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

20 years in the making
