When Bad To The Bone/Toss It To The Dog

Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

Another piece with my friend @Rosindust, the 23rd, so far...
I can't give it a definition of its musical genre, there are many things in it and in these cases I solve the dilemma with a nice tag "World", which in fact means everything and nothing, or maybe only that it's not extraterrestrial music :)
Or maybe, in this case, choosing "World" is just right: a few days ago I was in Marseille, France, it was early in the morning and while everyone was sleeping I received on my cell phone the recording of Tatiana's part from Siberia. I listened to it and I replied: "Thank you! Tonight, in Rome,I'll put it all together and I'll let you know".
A few hours later, she was probably walking in a wood when she listened to the finished track I just sent back. Now it seems normal but, just thinking about something like this, until a few years ago it would have seemed impossible...
The wide world has become a small world.

Lyrics:
Integrity in truth
Purity in obedience to God
Tranquility in spirit
Realization in faith

Be strong in the Lord
Put on the armor of God
For the struggle is fought
Not against flesh and blood
But against the forces of darkness
And the schemes of the evil one

Stand firm
Resist
On the evil day
Stand firm
Against the spiritual forces
of wickedness
in heavenly places

With every prayer and request
At all times in the spirit
With this in view
Be alert with all perseverance
So speak with boldness
As you ought to speak

On that day the deaf will hear
And those who are blind will see
The afflicted and needy will rejoice
For the ruthless will come to an end
And the scorner will be finished

Woe to the rebellious
Who rely on oppression

The Evil Day (Brian Butts & Cosmic Keanu)

Wait and See BY ZITOU ITOU & MAEDALI

A new composition......

Lyrics:
We wander this earth on a small blue dot
Chasing our dreams, with all that we’ve got
Different colors and different shades
Yet deep down inside, we’re all just afraid
They say that we’re one, but we build up the walls
In shadows and silence, we stumble and fall


Oh, we are one people, can’t you see
A tapestry woven, you and me
From rags to riches, we share the same air
Longing for peace, yet we’re lost in despair


Some live in towers, eye touching the skies
While others just scrape by, with hope in their eyes
We trade our compassion for money and pride
Looking away as our neighbor’s divide
Guess we forget what really remains
Love’s a bridge over all of our pains


In the tunnels of red and blue
The chaos screams but we can break through
If we dare to hold out a hand
Find the strength to understand

WE CAN BE GREATER ...

Sun ! Begins to shine on me, I'm fine
Sun ! My body's ready to feel the burn
I don’t even move a single finger
Sun ! Begins to sway me in the waves

You can join me, drive your car, come along
You don’t have to tell anyone where we’ve gone
Leave it all yeah, all behind
Cos' you know it's a blessing to feel the sun

Sun ! Sun's rays on the sand, it feels so great
Sun ! Just chilling here, with a fun-filled fate
Waves chat with the shore, secrets in store
Sun ! Summer vibes got us craving more

Take a break, let's chase the sun and the sea
No worries baby, just living the dream
Windows down, wind in our hair
Summer days, full of laughter, fun everywhere

Forget all about your troubles (All about it)
What a beautiful day
Let the summer vibes come to your rescue
Sun

Sun ! Begins to shine on me, I'm fine
Sun ! My body's ready to feel the burn
I'm ready to feel the burn
Sun !
It feels so great !
Sun !
Are you goin'to feel the sun ?
Sun !
