Cool Songs I Have Found! 2

Picture of Sarah Gray			c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Johnny a young man of twenty,
His sweetheart was Sarah Gray.
White she wore for their wedding,
 Johnny wore khaki that day.
For he had to leave the next morning, 
A ship bound for Calais. 
Around his neck in a locket,
A picture of his sweet Sarah Gray.
Now he's gone far away...

V2
 Mud and blood in the trenches,
Men with death in their eyes.
The locket and picture she gave him,
Gave Johnny the will to survive.
The horrors of war he did spare her,		
His letters, he'd always say,
“The poppies of Flanders are pretty,
But not like my sweet Sarah Gray.”
Now he's gone far away...

V3
“For God and Country” they told him,
The Pale Horse of Death he must ride.
O'r the top went poor Johnny,
His breast, a bullet did find.
When they came to bury his body,
'Neath the fields of Flanders they say,
In his hand he held a locket,	
With a picture of his Sarah Gray.		
Now he's gone far away...

Dead Soul

This is a story of separation from family, friends and loved ones. As a result of lockdowns, closed borders, travel restrictions and even the tragic displacement of refugees around the world, grandpa can’t see grandchild; brother can’t see sister; friend can’t share a coffee with friend. Those lost moments are gone forever. We can never turn back the clock.

radioactive decay feat.beta

There were some crowd hanging at the parking lot on a summer's evening. I heard some 50's-style slow tune from somewhere, maybe it came from someone's car radio. "Nice music?", young blonde curly-head woman asked. I smiled. She reminded me of some American actress. We talked about everything. She was working for Coca-Cola Company... I opened my eyes. I had this dream when I was 17.

-lyrics - Ahasuerus

Write it off
Cut the cost
Let it lie

Forget that I said it
I forgot what you did
But I lied

And I'm dedicated
to being a hypocrite
A quite committed misanthropic idiot
Fool
Run away before the fangs they bite
I've been a better man
but not tonight
just no

I'm elated
And quite sated
So I'll lie

It only meant nothing
don't let it mean something
that was a lie

And I'm dedicated
to being a hypocrite
A quite committed misanthropic idiot
Fool
Run away before the fangs they bite
I've been a better man
but not tonight
just no

Ecliptic Lie - Ahasuerus

“oh, the mission bells told me
that I could not stay...”

The Great American Songbook re-imagined.
“South of the Border” written by Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr in 1939.

South Of The Border

A song I composed and played for my daughters when they were young.

Lyrics:

See the little girl
She has a seed
And she plants it in the ground,
Beside a weed,
And the sun comes up,
And the rain comes down,
And the little seed,
The little seed,
Springs UP
From the ground.


Lyrics and Music: Mike Krath

See the Little Girl

Written over ten years ago as a heavier rock tune for a band I was playing with at the time.  Over the years, this song always hung around but slowly got mellower with age…

Just like me 🤪✌️

Lyrics

I saw you on your way
I wanted you to be free
What will be will be
But I had to let you know
That I had to let you go
And let you be

But the Tears are in my Mind
Withering in time
They linger in the soul
Then they come and go...

When all your dreams come true
I know your dreams come true
I'll be right here for you
So throw away your tears 
And uninvited fears
And always know my dear

That the Tears are in my Mind
Withering in time
They linger in the soul
Then they come and go
The longing of the heart
For the tie that binds
Waiting for the world
To see what you will find
The Tears are in my Mind

Tears In My Mind

Swinging 60's

Introduction in English:

My uncle, who became a sort of surrogate father to me after my father's untimely death, celebrates his 91st birthday in July. His wife had passed away some time ago and he had been single ever since. 
About five years ago, he visibly harbored the intention of ending his life in Switzerland with active euthanasia. 
Then, surprisingly, an elderly lady (about five years younger than him) moved into the apartment next door. She had also been widowed for some time.
Both got to know each other and fell in love. 
And even today they seem to be freshly in love with each other when I visit and they are sitting snuggled up on my uncle's old sofa. 
A scene that gives me hope and shows me that love can "catch" you even in old age. 
And a scene that was the starting point for the creation of the song "I`m in Love" posted here.  

Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak German)

I`m in Love

First verse:

I had already counted the days one by one,
I struggled out of bed every morning
Went all crooked and awry 
Had long since lost my hair

In Switzerland I had already ordered my coffin
For my gradual departure from the world
My heart pacemaker gave me the last groove

But suddenly a neighbor moved in
As wrinkled as me
In her nature beautiful and fine
I put down my suitcase for Switzerland for now

Second verse:

The next day she knocked on my door
She imagined she was here forever now
In her old eyes I saw the young woman

How she walked, how she sat, how she read in the newspaper
Her décolleté behind folds shapely and delicate
Her grace, elegance, like a lustful silent dance

Before she left again she embraced me 
My dusty self was enchanted
Instead of abandonment and renunciation a love poem flowed through me





Introduction in German:

Mein Onkel, der nach dem frühen Tod meines Vaters eine Art Ersatzvater für mich geworden ist, feiert im Juli seinen 91. Geburtstag. Seine Frau war schon länger verstorben und er seitdem alleinstehend. 
Vor ca. fünf Jahren  hegte er zusehends die Absicht, seinem Leben in der Schweiz mit aktiver Sterbehilfe ein Ende zu setzen. 
Dann zog überraschend eine ältere Dame (etwa fünf Jahre jünger als er) in die Nachbarswohnung ein. Auch sie war schon längere Zeit verwitwet.
Beide lernten sich kennen und verliebten sich ineinander. 
Und auch heute noch wirken Sie wie frisch verliebt ineinander, wenn ich Sie besuche und sie eng aneinander geschmiegt auf dem alten Sofa meines Onkels sitzen. 
Eine Szene, die mir Hoffnung macht und mir zeigt, dass die Liebe einen auch noch im hohen Alter "erwischen" kann. 
Und eine Szene, die den Ausgangspunkt für die Entstehung des hier geposteten Songs "I`m in Love" bildete.

I`m in Love

This song is about the way many people are blinded by the red sun of capitalistic influence, regarding the dollar as a sign of wealth and happiness while ignoring the social disparity in society and between societies.

Jibril et son cheval / Jibril and his horse

Jibril avait un cheval / Jibril had a horse
Impressionant le cheval / How impressive his horse was!
Il le tenait / He held onto it

Au bout d’une ficelle / On the end of a string
Et flottant dans les airs / And floating in the air
Il le connaît / He knows him well

Et quand tu es fatigué / And whenever you're tired
Le cheval tu le connais / You find your horse
Dessus tu vas t’installer / And settle down for a ride

Et tu voudrais avancer / And you would like to move on
Ça suffit tu es fatigué / You have enough and you’re tired 
Tu le connais…You know him well... 

Tu es l’enfant c’est toi le grand / You're the child, yet the grown-up one
Nous on n’est pas intelligent / We're not the smart ones
Longtemps qu’on a plus 3 ans / Long time since we were 3 years old


Un ballon c’est tout rond / A balloon is all round
Le cheval n’est pas rond / The horse isn’t round
Ça tu le sais / You know that very well

Et pourtant dans les airs / Yet in the air
Le cheval a tout l’air / The horse seems like
De s’envoler / Is flying away

Et tu voudrais avancer / And you would like to move on
Ça suffit tu es fatigué / You have enough and you are tired
Le cheval tu le connais / You know your horse well

Dessus tu vas t’installer / On your horse you are seating
Et tu es prêt à y aller / And you are ready to go
Tu le connais…You know him so well... 

Tu es l’enfant c’est toi le grand / You're the child, yet the grown-up one
Nous on n’est pas intelligent / We're not the smart ones
Et s’il n’avance pas / And if he doesn’t move forward
C’est qu’il ne le veut pas / It’s cause he doesn’t want to

Qu’il préfère voler…He prefers to fly…

Jibril Et Son Cheval

The winter of 2012 found Miltiadis Chalkidis at the studio of LRR, producing the new album of Miltos Marathon “Greek fill”.

“Music, and especially Greek music, is really amazing in its entire spectrum” said Miltiadis.
“Divine providence brought Byzantine music, rebetiko, music from Pontos, older and earlier folk songs and later classical music, rock, blues and jazz into my life. My love for these styles of music inspired me to just give a “Greek fill”.

Miltiadis distinct guitar technique and unique voice along with his distinct  Greek accent ... can be clearly heard in the 9 album tracks, supported by Chris Anifantis on the bass , Kostantinos Mitin on the drums,Christos Sagient on the percussion and George Bazanis on the piano and synthesizer. Backing vocals were performed by Sophie Hristodoulopoulou and Otilia Samoulada-Barbulesku.
Additional keys performed by Danai and Dimitris Tsikrikas.­­­­

The very first conception for the song's composition, for the album, started being worked by Miltiadis sometime between 2007 and 2008, although the final recording took place much later, due to the sad event of his father’s death, whose memory is honoured in this particular album… In the meanwhile, the politic and economic situation in Greece was an additional challenge that needed to be overcome, but didn’t manage to influence the Miltos Marathon sincere love for music, so they completed and released “Greek fill” in 2015.

By listening to the album, it can be said that "Greek Fill" is something more than just the new official Miltos Marathon work… It’s a unique record that combines the Greek musical element with the electricity of the contemporary sound, within the spectrum of the Miltos Marathon musical temperament, creating an innovative music style… Indeed, this album constitutes a different “Greek fill”!
