What a strong cup of coffee dear Gabriele

Album - Format: CD, Digital - Releases January 20, 2023

Everyday life is often filled with many small anxieties that we deal with by simply pretending they do not exist.
Sometimes they thicken beyond the horizon of our field of vision, turning into a sense of impending danger, a floating leviathan, an immense bird of prey hiding in the clouds above the skyscrapers ready to grab us. Our only defence is to try to ignore it, hoping that oblivion will slowly devour it, relegating it to another plane of existence.
And sometimes, it is simply like dreaming of suffocating...

Asphyxia

Asphyxia - Section III

I broke a leg bone (femur) in May of 2022. I wrote the song as I lay in a hospital bed and sedated with a mild dose of morphine. About a week after the operation, a physio nurse had come into my room to go over some exercises. To be honest, she was quite pretty and she seemed a bit suggestive with respect to "if I would be up for some exercise".  Probably just the morphine but it got the lyrical part of my brain turning and from that came most of the verses.  I managed to type them into an email on my phone and send it to myself. I had to make some alterations but this is gave me a solid start.  The music came later, as did the final changes to the verses. The outro just came as an inspiration during the recording.  It might have sounded better if I had done the 3 parts about a dozen times but I left it the way it was on the first takes. 

There were a lot of small events which gave the final direction to this song, including an interesting road sign just south of High River, AB.

Rough Road  (a.k.a. The Broken Femur Blues)
==========

[INTRO]

Ya  it's a shame, too late in the game
To find any thunder in this lightning bolt.
It'd be a nice surprise, but by the look in your eyes
That’d be all she wrote.  Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

Still I remember . . . lying there in pain,
Unable to stand, my face in the dirt.
I just couldn't decide , was it really my pride
Or my hip that was hurt.   Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

[SOLO]

[BRIDGE]
They say there's no gain
Without a little pain
The plan was never to gain a lot.
Just sing me a song and then move on and be happy with what I got.

So I ended up . . . in an ambulance ride
And a surgeon ready to cut in.
Some x-rays pics and sister morphine doing her tricks
A lag bolt and steel pin . . . Ya, it’s a long, rough road.

I walked with 4 wheels then I walked with a cane (asking myself)
Will I ever be the same again?
Well it took me seven months to stand on my own.
If life was easy, it wouldn’t be such a long, rough road.

[OUTRO]
Without the pain . . . without the pain
Without the pain, it wouldn’t be such a long, rough road.

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


1.We are if we forget that we are.
2.You were, indeed, at the East as the West.
3.The West is not the best, say the sun.
4.May the love bless you until death.
5.Anna speak with the Beast into the shell.
6.They snakes shakes some shadows.
7.Even if you reach itself; don't follow.
8.Hateful hope had hummed, hearts.
9.No shine on the Matrix although the negative is the definition

____________________________________________
the garden grows beneath her bed today
and the river flows beneath her head today
this empty dress she fills with leaves from outside
(these 40 days passed me by)
'cause the sun won't shine to keep her kindness alive

words spin 'round my head 'cause what you said, 
not what you meant to say... to see.

her sister shares the same thoughts and words as her
but the younger one feels the pain much deeper
again she fills her hands with dirt from outside
(these 40 days pass me by)
but the sun won't shine to keep her kindness alive

books and words and prayers spin round my head 
not what you meant to say... to see.

i can see a way to be with you again
fall down the stair like only you would do
my head's so cold my eyes are closed this time
and i wait to hear your voice from heaven above

For many years I concentrated on painting, but meanwhile I come back to music more and more. I always like to connect the different mediums, also writing lyrics. I play several instruments with main instrument classical guitar. I'm no singer, but sometimes I like to send a message.
I enjoy your music on SC very much and often hear my likes. It's much better then the mainstream.  Many thanks to you all!
Hope, you enjoy my music too:)
You can buy some albums on Bandcamp.
