Ephémérie 4 (Extended Orchestral)

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

« Menuet and Badinerie » of J.S Bach

A Song about not becoming paralyzed by rejection or loss

Passed Over

- in memory of forgotten heroes -
Froler la mort est le seul moyen de se sentir vivant, James Hunt était de ceux là, il fut et reste un pilote de génie de la formule 1 dans les années 70, là ou les sports mécaniques de haut niveau ne connaissaient pas encore toutes les sécurités qui existent de nos jours! Chapeau bas Monsieur pour vos exploits qui me rendent admiratif et reposez en paix.

James Hunt

A song about falling in love and falling airplanes...

Here are the lyrics:

So you think 
that everything's in place
so in love 
i can see it in your face

Oh how much i'd like 
to tell you
but i'll let you 
find alone the truth

So you said that
i hyper analyze
no regret can find 
inside your eyes

Oh you 've caused me 
so much pain
you'll understand 
when you will get the same

Day by day
i'm trying to find my way
to get you out
completely of my head

I feel 
that i'm already dead
and stuck inside the 
black hole of my grave

So you think
you had a lonely day
Soon your boy
will fly upon you way

Oh how much i'd like
to bring him down
burn in flames upon 
the ground

Burn in flames...
