Extracts from The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St Vincent Millay 1892-1950
Recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu

“Son,” said my mother,
   When I was knee-high,
“You’ve need of clothes to cover you,
   And not a rag have I”.
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   To make a boy breeches,
Nor shears to cut a cloth with
   Nor thread to take stitches.”
 
“There’s nothing in the house
   But a loaf-end of rye,
And a harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody will buy,”  
   And she began to cry.
 
…

Men say the winter
   Was bad that year;
Fuel was scarce,
   And food was dear.
 
A wind with a wolf’s head
   Howled about our door,
And we burned up the chairs
   And sat on the floor.
 
All that was left us
   Was a chair we couldn’t break,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Nobody would take,
   For song or pity’s sake.
 
…

Looking nineteen,
   And not a day older,
And the harp with a woman’s head
   Leaned against her shoulder.
 
Her thin fingers, moving
   In the thin, tall strings,
Were weav-weav-weaving
   Wonderful things.
 
Many bright threads,
   From where I couldn’t see,
Were running through the harp-strings
  Rapidly,
 
…

There sat my mother
   With the harp against her shoulder
Looking nineteen
   And not a day older,
 
A smile about her lips,
   And a light about her head,
And her hands in the harp-strings
   Frozen dead.
 
And piled up beside her
   And toppling to the skies,
Were the clothes of a king’s son,
   Just my size.

Northern soul, Latin, Funk. Psychedelia. 
Danse Breakdown'. Vocals. Vocalatti. Music. David. k. A. Spencer
New music, composition, encompassing , the vocals of 'the original song, Danse Danse': Kadish, Lucas, Scott, Slater (Apra/Amcos 2022)

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to who has the final moves.

Danse Breakdown. (Vocals) Vocalatti

If it were me, I’d ask you how your day has gone
If it were me, I’d listen as you carried on
And I would cherish all you say and do,
You’d tell me all your dreams,
I would make them all come true

And every day I’d tell you that you’re beautiful
Like how your eyes sparkle when you smile
And you should   know, for the first time in my life
 How I feel alive, and you were right here all the while
 
If it were me, you’re longing for

His love for you is fleeting and untrue
 A flash in the pan; he’ll soon disappear
And when you’re blue, i’ll be here for you
 Like I will be throughout the years
 
But it’s not me, I’m not the one your heart beats for
 Hard as I try, I’ll never be who you adore
And is that fair? Am I destined just to be
A friend that’s by your side
 While I keep it all inside?
‘cause it’s not me you’re longing for
A shoulder for your tears
A smile to ease  your fears
  That’s all I’ll ever be

if it were me

Vocal & lyrics : Janne Hennie

I see the moon above me
I hear the whistling from the wind
But I don't see you
Not even your shadow
I'm all alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

You used to love me deeply
You used to whisper in my ear
But now all I can hear
Is the whistling from the wind
It tells me I'm alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

I hear the wind is calling
It tells me to lay down
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

Lyrics:

I see the moon above me
I hear the whistling from the wind
But I don't see you 
Not even your shadow
I'm all alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

You used to love me deeply
You used to whisper in my ear
But now all I can hear
Is the whistling from the wind
It tells me I'm alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

I hear the wind is calling
It tells me to lay down
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...
