■概要(Overview)
グリーン券を購入すると、
ゆったりとした座席で設備が充実した車両に乗ることが出来ます。
窓側の席に座ってのんびり旅をしたいけれどいびきが聞こえてきた・・
そんな感じの曲です。
短いですが、とても久しぶりの新曲です。
今回はドラム→ボーカル→ギター→その他ベースなどの順で作ってみました。

When you purchase a green ticket,
You can ride in a well-equipped vehicle with comfortable seats.
I want to sit in the window seat and travel leisurely, but I can hear snoring...
It's a song like that.
It's short, but it's my first new song in a long time.
This time I made it in the order of drums → vocals → guitar → other bass etc.


■歌詞
グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
5号車か4号車の前で待つ
弁当とビール買って
夢見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ


窓側の席のサンシェード
閉めて　寝息だけが聞こえてくる
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu.... 
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


相　席　捨て(ぃ)　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


グリーン車に乗っていこうよ
ゆっくりシート倒していく
One duck .... Two ducks
And crying baby
夢 見心地の混沌へ

どぅっどぅっぱっつ
どぅっどぅどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

どぅっどぅっぱっ
どぅっどぅるっぱっ
どぅっどぅどぅるっ
どぅっどぅどぅっどぅっ

(逃れられないのはしょうがないね)

相　席　Stay　夢見
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

■Lyrics
Let's ride the green car
Wait in front of car 5 or 4.
buy lunch and beer
Toward a dreamlike chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud


window seat sunshade
Close it and all I can hear is someone's breathing
So　Guuuu.... Spiii.... Guuuu....
Spiii.... Guuuuuuuuuuuu....u
I wanna be...


I gave up on the dreaminess.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.


Let's ride the green car
Slowly recline the seat and fall asleep
One duck.... Two ducks
And crying baby
A dream into a chaotic chaos

Dudduppattsu
Douuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dududdudduddud

Dudduppaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dudduruppppa
Douuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dududdudduddud

(It can't be helped that you can't escape)

Give up on being dreamy
I decided to stay in this seat.
I can change seats at any time.
I can't walk past your seat.

Guuuu...

Here's the first single from the Penelope's Thrill second album, "Message on the Moon," which will be released on April 11. 
"Things Are Falling Down" is an upbeat song paradoxically about global warming and climate change. The infectious reggae-infused bass line and scratchy guitars make the listener perk up and listen...and eventually realize what the song is about. So it's a bit of sugar to get people to come to the table and think about the mounting crisis we're all facing...and maybe dance off some of their stress too. 
Cover painting is "Amor Fati" by Kelli Hoppmann, my favorite artist who also happens to be from Madison. Big thanks to Kelli for permission to use her paintings on the singles and the album. 
In fact, Kelli's paintings played a big role in the gestation of the new album. A few years ago, my wife and I bought one of Kelli's paintings that featured a moonlit woodland scene with phantasmagoric characters (like the "Amor Fati" painting above). That painting, which is titled "August Night," greets me each morning as I come downstairs. Eventually, it served as the inspiration for several songs on the album, including the title track, "Message on the Moon," and “August Night,” which is a song about the painting. A main theme of Kelli’s paintings is metamorphosis, which is also the main theme that runs through the songs on Message on the Moon. All six of the singles from the album also feature cover paintings by Hoppmann. (All those singles are now up on Bandcamp, Spotify, etc, and will be uploaded here as well.)
On this track, I play a vintage modified Stratocaster, a classic 60s Telecaster, and a Gretsch hollowbody--a combination I particularly like.

LYRICS:
“Things Are Falling Down"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh	
			
Half a minute and you won’t be here.
Half a minute and you’ll be gone.
Make your fictions so you don’t have to know our days are numbered.

Take your pictures and post them online.
Make your mixtures of rum and coke.
Maybe you just think it’s all a joke, but the seas are rising.

Make a million so you won’t know.
Play some music on your stereo.
Shop online to preserve your status quo while the world is crumbling.

CHORUS:
I don’t say the things I know.
I don’t say I won’t go—looks like things are falling down.
When I would take you down,
when I would bring you round—seems like things are falling down.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Now we’re fragile as eggs if you recall the way that story ends.

Jake was nimble, Jake was quick
when he jumped that candlestick,
but Jack and Jill are feeling sick about the way we’re going.

Cinderella had it right, but Rapunzel gave delight
when she lowered her hair from the tower top (where is our ladder?)

CHORUS

I remember going to the islands, lounging there on the sandy bay,
but now those islands have washed away beneath the waves and…

Now we scuttle our dreams and future.
Now we huddle on the rec room couch
while our conscience says, “you’re such a slouch,”
and the trees are whispering.

PRECHORUS and CHORUS

Variation mit einem Bösendorfer.
Die drei Gymnopédies sind Klavierstücke des französischen Komponisten Erik Satie. Sie entstanden um 1888 und zählen zu seinen bekanntesten Werken.
2023 hab ich das Bild gemalt, welches ich als Track Art verwendet habe und finde es passt hier ganz wunderbar zu den Kompositionen

Variation with a Boesendorfer.
The three Gymnopédies are piano pieces by the French composer Erik Satie. They were written around 1888 and are among his best-known works.
I painted the track-art picture in 2023 and I think it goes very well with the work by Satie.

J'ai peint cette image de track-art en 2023 et je pense qu'elle s'accorde très bien avec l'œuvre de Satie.

What To Do In Times Of Peace... 7957 5:02 27-07-2025

UPDATE October 2024

Hi there,
first of I all I would like to say THANK YOU for all your likes and comments during the last months and years and say SORRY that I did not answer for a longer time. 

A few years ago I decided to make a change in my life and learned a new profession (physiotherapist). It took me a few years so that my focus was another one than my music. But now, after finishing the training and arriving in my new job I returned to my passion "piano music". 
Well, I did not stop to play the piano, but it did not really flow. Too many thoughts in my mind. 
But now, it feels so good and easy to play and ideas for new tracks are coming back. And exactly this mood and these emotions made it possible to create two new tracks within a short time and to record them in my favourite recording studio "Tonstudio Katzer" in Nürnberg (Thank you again, Romin! Great job! Always a great time!)

So from now on I will be more present on my platform and try my very best to answer to the comments I got and get! Thank you for your support!! Take care! :-)

Hi there,
my name is Claudia Schlegel and I am glad you drop by. 🙂

I learned to play the piano as a child for several years. Honestly I don´t really know how many. But already in that time I prefered to compose than just to play already existing classical piano pieces. For sure I learned quite a lot from my piano teacher as he was a really good pianist and it was great to play pieces from Tschaikowky, Rachmaninoff etc. But it did not catch me enough for continuing. So I stopped and concentrated on sports and came back to playing  the piano not until seven years ago. It was like „love at second sight“. Since that time I compose my own piano pieces in my leisure time, by which I can express my emotions and handle different situations in live. My music helps me quite a lot to calm down. 

You are very welcome to listen to them. If you like them I will be very happy! If not, no problem at all. I am glad that at least you gave it a try! 

My tracks "Grateful", "Lost in dreams", "Let go", "Traumpfad", "Neuanfang" and "A Sunday in November" (studio version) have been recorded in "Tonstudio Katzer" in Nürnberg in Germany in 2019 and 2022, my new tracks "For more humanity" and "Open your heart" in October 2024. Thank you Romin! Amazing job! Always a great experience and pleasure to be in your studio and to get your professional input! :-) 

Have a nice day everybody and take care! 😊

Claudia
