Send It With The Wind

“What you leave as a legacy is not what is etched in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
— Anonymous
"So many who were remembered already forgotten, and those who remembered them long gone." 
— Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor and a Stoic philosopher)

This reflection on the sobering fact that our time on earth for most of us will not impinge upon the memories or future historical knowledge of generations to come, was inspired by a chance remark by my grandson who described an old photo of his younger self as not looking like him at all, and that he suspected his parents had just hung up a photo on the wall of some random boy. He was speaking in jest of course, but what we say can have consequences, and this song is one!

Lyrics:
He was just a random boy in a picture on the wall
No one claimed to know him, or if he was real at all
He was just a random choice to put in that wooden frame
And one day he’ll be replaced by another with another no name

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But maybe somewhere, maybe sometime
He was more than just a face

Will there ever be some random picture of me on somebody’s wall as well?
Will they dine & drink, make love, take drugs, while I stare, stare but never tell?
I have a name and I have a life, but if they should glance at me
They’ll think I’m just a random boy, there’ll be nothing, nothing else to see

Oh, just a random boy! Just a random boy!
From here or some distant place
But I know somewhere, I know sometime
I was more than just a …

(Random boy) Oblivious (A random boy) Indifferent
(Just a random boy) You stand in a world of your own
But the random boy staring back at you was cast . . .
in flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and bone ……
In flesh and blood and ……

Verse 1:
It wasn't the plan, but that's probably how it went
Two hearts in the storm, now our target is silent
All the words said, but nothing keeps us here
Only shadows of yesterday and ashes of paper

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Verse 2:
I see your traces fading in the fog
Hear your voice in songs of glass
Time may heal, but it also lies to us
'Cause nothing feels right if I can't share it with you

Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder where you are
If you sometimes still miss
What we were, what we are
Or if the wind takes everything away from us

Refrain:
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Bridge:
Then we lie lazily on rooftops in the rain
No why, no wrong, just a life in the now
No way that separates us, no tomorrow that counts
Just you and me when the night brightens up

Chorus (Final):
Maybe in the next life, when we are cats
Roaming the streets, free as only the winds are
No goodbye, no doubts, no more scars in the light
Maybe in the next life, but it didn't work in this one

Vielleicht Im Nächsten Leben

Džinovskim pipcima
Kraken brod potapa
U vodi pokolj posade
Ajkule prave iz dosade

Brzi plivači smrt izbegli
Jaučući kopna se domogli
Akupunkturu tabana
Pružiše im ježevi sa dna

Jednonogi se srećnici
Na obali vesele
Izvukoše se iz čeljusti
Velike bele

Ajkule
Ajkule

Zao talas prevrće
čamac za spasavanje
Krvožedni morski psi
Ka hranilištu kreću svi

Brz proboj do kosti
Vrše testerasti zubi oštri
Snažan stisak ugriza
Komad tela lako otkida

Up to the Ground (Poem and Notes)

Goodbye to Paradise

The air seemed much sweeter then, 
And now we struggle to breathe at all
Just as it felt like a home again, 
Our name was chiseled off the wall
We resented the notion, we protested the move
We were forced through the motions
We did not approve

Goodbye to paradise
Goodbye all our dreams
Goodbye to paradise
Crawl back to the clear running streams
Sell her wheels that once made history

Family for Xmas cards, holiday with cast and crew
Accepted if you played along, excluded if you broke the rules
We followed direction, we hid from the fear
We avoided detection, year after year!

Goodbye to paradise
Goodbye to that life
Goodbye to paradise
A fork works just as well as a knife
Oooh! Forever overflowing with life! 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away and close your eyes
Was it such a big surprise?


Appease the high authority, now living in between the cracks
Love confined to a minority, and now it never will come back
The monster is friendless, it lures with a smile
The suffering was endless, was it all worthwhile?

Goodbye to paradise
Still have you in our hearts
Goodbye to paradise
Hide and row, strum the guitar
Make believe it’s got you this far!
 
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Walk away and close your eyes

You gave me heaven you healed my heart
You kept me yearning right from the start
You are my angel felt from the sky
You are my treasure you make me cry

You are my daylight all shadows are past
You are my future and we will last
You are my hero my soulmate for life
Oohoooo

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe
Intermezzo(Rahab)
You gave me sunshine after the rain
you gave me pleasure, you gave me pleasure after my pai-ai-ain

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe
Intermezzo(Rahab)

You gave me sunshine after the rain
You give me pleasure after the pain
You gave me blessings after the curse
You gave me the universe
=================================================
Very first collab work with the amazing Mirjam ! This sound was made years ago for a band that never saw the day, so I asked Mirjam to add anything she wants, it if she was interested : I'm impressed by the work she did and the emotions she put into it ! Enjoy !
