Violent Freedom

A few days worth of Corona virus.  Written by Jane Shields and David Martin.

CrazyCrazyCrazy

A Covid and Corona inspired song, written by Jane Shields and David Martin, with support from Maria Valsi on vocals, and Gil Jusino on bass and audio video production.  This song is based on the we are all in this together view of the world (seems to be a valid analysis).  Jane wrote the lyrics in the UK, I wrote the music and recorded guitar and mandolin in New Mexico, and Gil and Maria did musical magic in their hillside home near Ashville, NC.

Humanity

Window by  David Martin 

She looked at him like she's looking through a window
to find some new attraction on the other side
Her career was hot but his was not
She's running all over town

from his side of the window
I don't think he can tell
His house is spinning round

He was her staircase, to reach another level
away from dull routine, to her new life in the light
He's got foosball in the basement 
She's buying a new gown

from the bottom of the stairs
I don't think he can tell
His house is spinning round

We go out for a beer or two that soon is four or five
The talk gets free, and he tells me, 
he's has his reasons why
He understands she may have plans
That probably don't include him
If this is how she wants to live
He's fine with what ever comes around

Fortune fosters fickle friend her business found recession
His specialty is bankruptcy and debt consolidation
His phone is ringing night and day
Hers never makes a sound

from her side of the window
I don't think she can tell
her house is spinning round

Will he look at her like he's looking through a window

The News From The West

Window

If the moon had wings, would she fly away?
Leave the world alone, while she went to play
Would she soar past Mars, over Saturns's rings
Would she fly away, if the moon had wings?

If a rainbow fell would it paint the land?
the grey concrete, the suburb sand
Would the colors ring, if they touched a bell?
Would it paint the land, if a rainbow fell?

//
If I had a secret place, my heart would hide from you
I'd  watch you wander round, watch you wonder what to do
On pillows filled with feathers thru windows cloaked in lace
If my heart  had a secret place

Will diamonds melt, in a summer squall
Would fingers find, no rings at all
Would vows so true, nevermore be felt
in a summer squall, will diamonds melt

If time ran South instead of North
Would moments lost reveal their worth
Would second chances conquer doubt, oh but,
Time runs North, time won't run South

 //
Across the chasms of our lives, We seek to find the truth
We wonder what we know, forget how much we knew
We polish all our treasure, count up all our things
Would she fly, if the moon had wings
