The Coming Of The King

Nick Drake - Place to Be

Guitar and vocals by Stefano Manotti 

When I discovered Nick Drake's music, I immediately felt richer as a musician and less alone as a person. An artist who delved into the depths of human emotions, unafraid, driven solely by the need to express himself.The eternal beauty that he created will endure for centuries. I wanted to pay tribute to him with his masterpiece, in the fingerpicked version he recorded as a demo.
 

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

Squaring The Circle

Ride The Great Spiral

#Indie Electronic Rock

Locked out is a true story based on what happened to a very good friend recently.
He had  no idea his partner of three years had been planning to leave him for months. He came home to a note saying I will be in touch there will be an email to follow.
And that was that.
She locked him out her life and hasn’t been seen since. 
Thankfully he’s a survivor and it didn’t take him long to get back on the horse and ride again. 
That’s just the way he rolls !

V1 
We we’re making love the sunday before 
everything as it should 
Couldn’t see the trees 
For the wood 
That note that you left 
Didn’t leave a single  clue
We went from oak 
To hollow bamboo 
Then I guess you always new 

Chorus 
I’m feeling locked out knocked  out 
Now that the word as got out got out 
I’m feeling locked out knocked out 
And I can’t even shout shout out 
Cause you knocked me out for the count 

V2 
There must be a 1000 reasons
To why you left 
And you choose not to tell me 
So I will have to second guess
I’m in room with no windows 
And not any doors 
You’re being moving on for months 
Acting up this front 
 
Double Chorus

Outro to fade 
I’ve been feeling locked out knocked out 
I’ve been feeling locked out knocked out 
Now that the word as got out got out
I can’t even shout out shout out

===================
見えざる者 / invisible hand
===================

まるで夜が明けてゆくかのように
熱狂は冷めて
誰一人いなくなるのだろう
廃墟を残して

苛立ちは　不甲斐なさゆえ
悲しみは　溝の深さゆえ
無限ループに組み込まれたなら
万策尽きてしまう

見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ
見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ

それなりの試行錯誤
せまられる思考停止
どこかで　聴いたことのある　誘い文句

誰だって憤るさ
誰だって泣き崩れるさ
大切に育てた日々を
目の前で爆破されれば

見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ
見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ

まるで夜が明けてゆくかのように
熱狂は冷めて
誰一人いなくなるのだろう
廃墟を残して

苛立ちは　不甲斐なさゆえ
悲しみは　溝の深さゆえ
無限ループに組み込まれたなら
万策尽きてしまう

見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ
見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ
見えざる者の手が　欲望に穢された今は
密かに　風の記憶を　待つ

Lost In Space

Written, performed and recorded by  Neli CoKo, 2024, all rights reserved. 
I tried to create a real big space. Not easy! Thank you for listening :)

Now it´s time
Remember and release
Now it´s time
The pain will come and ease

Now it´s time
To get back on the ground
Now it´s time
Declutter what I found

I can´t believe it´s over, a new beginning
...

Now it´s time
To become innocent
Now it´s time
To live luminiscent

Now it´s time
To overcome the pain
Now it´s time
To let it all go down the drain

I can´t believe it´s over - a new beginning
...

New Beginnings

Neli CoKo - New Beginnings

Hey, what can I say? Sometimes it gets rough. But it's still good.

------------------------------------------------------------------

on a summer blanket
in the moonlight
with the beach stones stirring
after midnight

i am ready
and i dare

god you know you’re tired
may you rest now
many ways to try it
lay the load down

i am ready (good to go)
i am there (going)

hey hey hey who
checkout avenue

on tomorrow’s bastion
once immortal
now you sense the ending
as a portal

i am ready
honeybear
i’m not waiting 
i am there

i am ready (here’s my ride)
and i dare (good night)
we’re not waiting (good to go)
we are there

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Jacques DiCroce, Janine Levinson, Cheesemont Paisely-Paisely, Wheelwright, and David Weiss for early listening, consultation and support.

Checkout Avenue

Civic "time keepers" are not unusual and some are quite famous; Big Ben comes to mind, Times Square of course.  Smaller towns may have a clocktower, or the local church may have chimes that ring at certain times of the day.  For St. Francis, Kansas, it was the civil defense siren.  It would sound three times a day; at 7:00 AM, 12:00 noon, and 6:00 PM, and take the day off on Sunday unless there was an emergency.  
Like the "Walkin' Boys", the St. Francis siren was integral to the character of the town and I felt it, too, needed a song;)  I decided to write the song as if the siren were telling its story.  And you're in luck, you even get to hear the actual siren and the dogs barking in chorus to help it sing its song.  Harvested from a forty year-old cassette tape, you'll hear a little hiss, but is quickly forgotten:)
Lyrics beginning with the chorus:

At 7:00 AM I herald the morning,
At 12:00 O'clock noon, I'm the dinner bell,
At 6:00 PM it's time to close up and go home,
And the in-between quiet means that all is well.
Verse 1:
You can hear me all over town,
And the valley for miles around,
I'm the St. Francis siren and I'm loud and clear,
I'm heard six days a week throughout the year.
It depends upon where you are,
In town or out on the farm,
Like an air-raid whistle, I can give you chills,
Or break the silence of the nearby hills.

Chorus: At 7:00 AM I herald the morning...

Verse 2:
But there are moments when I break my routine,
To signal danger often unseen,
From a raging fire, or when it starts to storming,
I bellow out a loud and persistent warning.
But still I get my day of rest,
I like Sundays I must confess,
And unless it's urgent I won't blow away,
I'll save my breath for the following day.

Chorus: At 7:00 AM I herald the morning...
End:
I'm the St. Francis Siren (repeat)
