Appassionata Strings & Oboe V4

Now what may foeman's malice do to harm us? What, O Immortal, mortal man's deception?
Absorbed into the heart, be sweet, O Indu, as a kind father to his son, O Soma,
As a wise Friend to friend: do thou, wide-ruler, O Soma, lengthen out our days for living.
These glorious drops that give me freedom have I drunk.
Closely they knit my joints as straps secure a chariot.

Let them protect my foot from slipping on the way: yea,
let the drops I drink preserve me from disease.
Make me shine bright like fire produced by friction:
give us a clearer sight and make us better.

Our maladies have lost their strength and vanished: they feared, and passed away into the darkness.
Soma hath risen in us, exceeding mighty, and we are come where men prolong existence.
Fathers, that Indu which our hearts have drunken, Immortal in himself, hath entered mortals.
So let us serve this Soma with oblation, and rest securely in his grace and favor.
Associate with the Fathers thou, O Soma, hast spread thyself abroad through earth and heaven.

Rig Veda HYMN XLVIII. Soma.

Lyrics:

Deep under the mountain, the mechanical birth
Kissed by the sky, touched by the Earth
Emerging from the darkness to hold back the waters with a snake...

Drawn from the stone, forged in the flame
Hammered at the anvil and tempered by the rain
Points for the arrows to penetrate the scales of a snake...
To penetrate the scales of the snake

We sought the protector, we sipped of the nectar
We've gone to the light where we all live forever
We've gone to the Gods – what use are enemies now?
Oh, what use are enemies now?

These artifacts of war will outlast us all
In the past where we've flown, in the future we crawl
Back into the womb, what could they take from us now?
Oh, what could they take from us now?

Rustling in the reeds around the lake
Whispers of the law we never break
Oh, the many hammer strokes upon the stake
Eye of bat, tongue of newt, wing of snake
There is only the law.....

Paco https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo shared these beautiful and evocative melodies with me and I couldn't help but want to collaborate with him again. He is most generous and encouraging, and his music is full of structure, energy and emotion. Thanks for this great opportunity Paco and thank you for listening. I'd like to dedicate this to David, Emily and Steven.

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Make sure that you don’t take a moment for granted,
Coz you only get this chance to shine.
When you’ve got something more to give than you take,
Only then have you truly found the reason to live. 
  
Time flies, oh how time flies 
How time always flies,

Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
Time flies, oh how time flies 
 
Whatever it is you want from life,
You better be ready to go and get it.
For time always flies,
No matter how much you think is left.

Time Flies (Midisound & Mark J Bennett)

Thank you for taking the time to read this commentary.
I purchased a bass guitar for many reasons. I used to be a bassist and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with playing bass myself in the future. The only thing I actually play in this song is the last section, though. So, I wish you all a happy 2023.

I arrived in London in early ‘71 and landed on the Holland Road, Shepherd’s Bush not long after.
My good pal Julie Lewis (from Durham) with whom I’d worked with in Sydney, had digs there and invited me to stay. Nonetheless I found it a challenging place to be after Sydney, Summer, beaches, family and gigs. Amongst Julie’s record collection was Nick Drake’s 'Bryter Later' which brought solace to me as I often felt very alone and completely at a loss as to how to navigate London town.

Years later I was to learn that Freddie Mercury was living just a few doors down from us on the Holland Road...no I never knew him...but when I wrote the lyric it seemed apt to pay homage to Freddie and our collective dreams. I’m so happy with Cripple Club’s interpretation of the lyrics, bringing to life a musical collage that depicts the highs and lows of living on the Holland Road through my first cold winter! From my heart; thank you Terry & Gary Reeves; you are two soulful & gifted brothers; I feel so indebted to you both and to Hans Albers for his powerful musical contributions. Thank you, everyone, for listening. (Janice Slater)

Having been such a good friend to us over the years, it has been such an honour to work with Janice on this song. It is dedicated to every one of the beautiful friends we have made here on the Cloud. Thank you all for the support you have given to our music. The last ten years have been filled with such wonderful memories. Much love to you all. (Gary & Terry Reeves)

I’m standing on the fraying edge
Of golden russet gown
Everything’s evolving
Spinning and turning my head around

A familiar voice insulted
And 'Bryter Later's so understated
There’s evidence of a circumstantial nature
But once again, I don’t feel the danger

(Spoken) But now I’m declining all invitations...

I hear the doorbell
But there’s just a stranger
Standing on the fraying edge of fear
Of a city without pity and you’re not near

Freddie he’s walking
Heading down the street
Just like me
The snow and sleet under his feet

Oh but we’ve yet to meet
Looking down the Holland Road
Nobody can see us
Standing on the fraying edge

(Spoken) I was just like you Freddie, looking for that song...

Or three or four
We are looking for salvation
On the Holland Road
And Shepherds Bush Station

Freddie he’s still walking, heading down the street
Just like him, singing music for trick or treat

(Spoken) Oh but we’ve yet to meet…

GUITAR BREAK

(Spoken) Just around the corner from…
Portobello Road
On the fraying edge (repeat x 8)
Of a fraying town

THE FRAYING EDGE - CRIPPLE CLUB, HANS ALBERS & JANICE SLATER

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pic: edited eyefish photo taken by my other sister during one of my hard summer rehearsals.

Lyrics

Hey my Loves
Check... Signed out!
Let's walk in nature and stop the shout
To the trees with love we picture this
Let's learn the leaves and aborb bliss

Hey flashy 'Male Fern' calm us now
Good 'Common Elder' takes a bow
Giving us worth wows 'English Ivy'
'Common Hazel shows real mighty

'Hawthorn' talks to nature walk
'Sessile Oak' accepts no balk
'Honeysuckle' soothes our scene
'Euro Beech' give kids new dream

The greatest 'Gorse' you carve our course
'Mountain Ash' beamed quick from source
Ah, 'Lady Fern', I never knew...
Aside 'Holly' prickly Christmas clue

Spruced 'Douglas Fir' pined always green
New 'Red Raspberry' wild and clean
Blue 'English Oak' mourns old theft ' knows
Flanked by 'Jetbead' might as rose

Why weep dear 'Birch you Silver' lady
Friend 'Downy Birch' lined walnut wavey
Aced 'Maple of Field' soapberry knowledge
To 'Norway Acer Maple' leaf foraged

What a walk
Thank you Nature
You calmed us down
You talk much greater
We learn you more and have more spine
This nature walk through real divine

ah yeah ah yeah

Hugging Trees foraging leaves
The truest love now calm my kids, good seeds
Nature walk fix our talk
With child's play we stalk with light
To darkness, We balk

Ah yeah, Ah yeah



Something I learned...
I assumed when I noticed Male fern and Lady fern that these were dioecious plants but thats not the case. They can hybridize as explained below but they are not seperate male and female plants as I assumed when I noticed the two today...

Male fern and lady fern are distinct fern species with notable differences in appearance and habitat preferences. Male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas) is a robust, larger fern with deep green, lance-shaped fronds, often found in woodlands and hedgerows. Lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina), on the other hand, is generally more delicate, with a finer texture and a lighter green color. It thrives in damp, shady conditions, often near water. 

Ferns reproduce through both sexual and asexual methods. Sexually, they reproduce using spores, which develop into a small, heart-shaped structure called a gametophyte. This gametophyte produces sperm and eggs, and fertilization results in a new fern plant. Asexually, ferns can reproduce through vegetative cloning, where new plants grow from rhizomes or by the tips of their fronds touching the ground and rooting. 

Ferns can hybridize through the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg) from different species, often occurring when spores from different ferns land and germinate in the same area. Hybridization can also be facilitated by apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction where unreduced spores (with the same chromosome number as the parent sporophyte) are produced, leading to the formation of a new sporophyte without sexual reproduction.

Lyrics:

Salt air
Land locked shore
Clipped hair
Clipped hair
Dusting the floor

When the reason's her
When the season's here
Not stuck anymore 
When the reason's her

Going stir
The voice of an Age
Cut off
At the fur
At the fur
Red apple rage

Windowless her
Windowless her
Nausea I could not 
assuage

Tongue tied blur
Tongue tied blue
At the hopelessness
of the page
All the hope I have/hold 
of you

Windowless her
Windowless her
