NO SAD SONG WHEN I'M ALONE

Hands

I HARDLY SPEAK INUKTIKUT
AND NOT A SINGLE WORD OF YUPIK
ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE BARREN LANDS
FROM POND INLET TO KIPNUK

BUT ANYWAY IN ANY TONGUE
I’D LOVE TO SING THIS SONG ALONG
WITH HARSHA AND WITH ALL MY HEART
IN MEMORY OF OLD STADTPARK

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

DON’T MIND ME SHUFFLING ALL IN ONE
THE ONES YOU CARRY IN YOUR HEART
YOUR KIDS YOUR STEPSON AND YOUR MUM
YOUR ZOEY OLD PET IN THE STARS

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

AND WHEN THE WEATHER TOLD YOU SO
THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO GO
YOU TOOK A TEN HOURS RIDE ON SLEDGE
OVER THE FROZEN TUNDRA

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

WITH MY WARMEST REGARDS TO RUBY
CHARLES ERNEST ROME SHAWN
GRAHAM LEILA HARSHA OF COURSE 
ALL THE BEST TO YOU LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT (Lyrics) Song for LaDorothy...

This song was written for anyone who is not able to be with the one they love. Being at a distance from a special someone means you have to find ways to stay in touch.

thanks to primcron 100 for writing the instrumental and asking me to sing on it.  The original title was cyber mile and that is how I got the idea for the lyrics. I thought of a couple in love who had to be in a long distance relationship

I wrote and recorded this over a year ago when we were still in lockdown so it really helped me to imagine what this would be like for such a couple.

be sure to support the version my collaborator put out which has over 2200 plays :)

Lyrics
It was Spring when you planted me roses
In the yard where the sun shone bright
I watered and tended them every day
They were the light of my life

Petals so tender and vibrant
Scent so sweet, it melts my heart
Like the gentle kiss from my darling's lips
And the promise we'll never part

Seasons turn even if we aren't ready
And cold grips til you give up the fight
A love life taken too early
Like frosty roses covered in white

Petals once tender and vibrant
Faded sweetness that breaks my heart
Like one last kiss from my darling's lips
The broken promise we'll never part

It was Spring when you planted me roses
In the yard where the sun shone bright
Like you, they were the light of my life

Frosty Roses - 50/90 collab

As each November approaches I try to make my own little Remembrance-time tribute.  Seems more relevant as each year passes...

Following the huffing and puffing empire lunacy in the summer of 1914, the next four years would see 40 million casualties, half of them deaths and of those, half were civilian.  

40 million.

40 million tales of poignancy, pain, grief and human tragedy, through times that can often seem littered with coincidence, symmetries …. bookends and mirrors.

In the Military Cemetery of St Symphorien near Mons rests John Parr.  At only five foot three inches and several years under age he (amazingly) managed to enlist in 1912 - hoping to see the world, and get the advertised “two square meals” a day.  He was the first British Army casualty, killed in the battle of Mons aged just 17, his body left behind, fate unknown until much later in the conflict;  the army unable to answer his mother’s letters of enquiry about her “silent” son.

By pure coincidence, John lies just a few yards from the last British soldier to die in the great war.  George Ellison served for four long years including at the same first battle of Mons as John, and most of the famously grinding, attritional infantry battles of the conflict.  His working life bookended by military service, George had first enlisted in 1902, leaving the army in 1912, just as John joined, he became a coal miner, re-enlisting at the outbreak of war to dig mud not coal and fight from trenches he helped excavate.  George was killed just 90 minutes before the armistice took effect at 11:00 on the 11th day of the 11th month.  The futility of the conflict was cruelly illustrated by the fact that George’s war had started and ended at exactly the same place, Mons in Belgium.  They had literally gone nowhere.

As a postscript to progress since "the war to end all wars" the human race is currently reckoned to be engaged in 7 major wars, 15 significant ongoing conflicts and 21 “minor” conflicts (the latter defined as up to "only” 1000 deaths per year).  By way of another macabre bookend, the longest of these has been going on, unbelievably, since the year .... 1918.

As always, this simple ballad is offered as a live one mic one take effort - please excuse the fluffs and gaffes.

Bookends and Mirrors

Sun turned cold ‘cross every sky in the summer of ‘14
The Good Lord shook his head, and he placed it in his hands
Braided declarations flying, whose like was never seen
Lunatics in feathers stockpiled lead, bagged their sand.
Slapstick Mephistopheles, unleashing of his flame
Spiral minds lobotomised in the waltz of the insane
Simple lives unknowing of the mud that would become
A mirror in the resting place of two Holy Mother’s sons.

Signed the line, five years young, fingers crossed behind his back
Chance to see the world, grab a future, two square meals.
At 17, John’s angels sung, first to fall in dawn’s attack
Abandoned and forgotten, deaf to all his ma’s appeals.
Never knew the miner, his bookend pal to be
Fighting down the line, many battles that he’d see
Full four years in trenches, George’s hell lived through them all
Cruelty was smiling wide at England’s last to fall.

In service time they travelled nowhere, nothing to achieve
Embracing 40 million weeping mothers left to grieve
The crime of puffing chest bravado beggared to believe
Hall of mirrors seeping others’ blood of the innocent naive.

Now John and George lie facing each to seek their mirrored peace
Raise my eyes and brim a tear for the lessons never learned
Pray God, don’t ever let them know man’s insanity but increased
The war to end all wars a mere sequel oft’ returned 
By comedies of leathered fools stuck on infinite repeat
Bemedalled and bejewelled, they prosecute their moral defeat
But here, on sallow turf twixt heroes, broken mirror in my broken hand
Met by my own broken eyes, I still fail to understand.

Neustart

Blatt im Herbstwind

This is the last one of 44 songs I wrote with my mom’s Spanish guitar in my university years, songs I’ve been arranging and posting to SC for the last 6 years (I’ve skipped 4 of them which will become a conceptual album soon).

I’m so glad to have https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson’s help on polishing the English texts and lending her vocal and painting arts to such an important song for me.

Also must credit https://soundcloud.com/user-498459842 for kindly and freely mastering the track.
 
CANCIÓN TRISTE CUANDO ESTOY SOLO (SAD SONG WHEN I’M ALONE)

Canción triste cuando estoy solo, para que sepas que yo nunca me iré.
Canción triste por todo lo que amo, último recuerdo de lo que pudo ser.

Sad song when I'm alone, so that you know I will never be gone.
Sad songs for all I love, are the last reminders of my ancient glow.

Do you think that someone somewhere else would ever care that I was here?
Do you think a future living man will give a damn for you and me?
Who could he be?

¿Piensas que a alguien a quien no conocí le importará si estuve aquí,
o no estuve yo?
¿Piensas que alguien que viva después se acordará de ti o de mí?
¿Quién podrá ser?

Canción triste…

¿Piensas que una nueva vida de amor nos bastará para creer,
para sentir?
¿Acaso te importa lo que piense la gente de mis intereses para morir por mí,
para morir por mí?

Do you think another life of love will be enough for us to see,
for us to feel?
Do you care what people really think about my pride, and will you die,
will you die with me?

Sad song…
