The Storm

I keep looking back – for that one thing – that used to make me smile – non-existent – if only for a while – I could find that smile again
Keep Pumping through the files in my Vortex – realized that smile – was a reflex – was anything worthwhile - or was my time spent here in vain.
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
When there just aint nobody calling – not listening – nor even paying attention – what’s the fucking point – Why do we hold on
There’s no need to catch me while I’m falling – it’s already written in his story – aint no turning back – I must be moving on……
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
Though I’m no longer here babe I see you – I’ve never loved you more so I freed you – I'm right here by your side – You’re going to make it through this storm
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning –  Baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..

Eric Festa's Album

The Storm

Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
Times running out
And death sits there smirking
Do you remember that night?
Wrapped in chains
Voices near us
Drowning out
Everything I could say
Creating turmoil
Creating chaos inside of me
It’s driving me crazy
Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
When I’ve just shut my eyes
Wake me
Ready to rise
Crystal clear
Ready to fly
Everything’s connected
But nothing’s working
Times running out
And death sits there smirking
If everything’s connected
Why isn’t anything working
Times running out
And death just sits there smirking

Everything's Connected But Nothing's Working

Lyrics:
Off the top ———-is where it’s at unwrap this —————-gift RAP hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK! Pool of knowledge ——-untapped going —-in —-hard——we do that  Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps  ———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!” swag baby —-The recap  no snags—nah—we stop that!!!
Break the game down--it's a new map Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ Eyes on the prize---go the full lap concrete jungle---stuck in the trap
[Verse] From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate New York state of mind---watch the Empire State
We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home
Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest From the 5 boroughs--anthems——- on full blast Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks Struggle in the verses —-resilience on the—— tracks

"When Summer sun shines on your face
By Castle Walls I feel your grace
When bees alight on golden thrones
By Castle Walls 'twixt sea and stone"
---------------------------------------------------
The Gertrude Jekyll garden, near to Lindisfarne Castle is the focus of this track. Now owned by the National Trust, originally it was a walled garden that was first constructed by troops manning the castle, presumably as far back as the 1500s or 1600s, to grow food.

In 1902, the Country Life magazine founder and owner Edward Hudson took out a lease from the Crown on Lindisfarne Castle and commissioned his friend, the architect Edwin Lutyens, to transform the Castle into a holiday home in which Hudson could entertain during his summer visits.

In 1911, Hudson decided to restore the old walled garden to use as a place to enjoy. Lutyens brought in his regular collaborator, Gertrude Jekyll to undertake the design work

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

In my head I had the idea of trying to capture the feeling of guests of Hudson, (or modern day visitors) walking around the garden on a late Summer afternoon, possibly stopping to listen to the bees, busy at work, collecting honey.

The poem came out of that thought which then inspired the musical direction of the piece.

I imagined the first part, idyllic, tranquil, moving to section where you just focus in on the bees and everyday life slips away for a while. This is followed by a grander 'promenade ending', where I imagined Hudson's guests strolling around in the late afternoon sun.

I love music that takes me on a journey with unexpected twists and turns, painting pictures in my head. I hope my music does that for you.
 I have several albums available on Bandcamp (link below) and please also check out my YouTube channel where I did some music videos.
