Talk To Me

Grabado en 2024   
No quería andar                            Em-A5-C
Con tan poca luz 
Aunque no quiera mirar 
Siempre veo esa cruz 
Sí tratas de llegar 
A cortar el dolor 
Es tu parte animal
Cuando dice que no 
Quema el lujo                      A5
Y quema la espera                      Em
Ahí afuera                              C-A5       
Vas por lo que queda                Em

AHI AFUERA

Bringing back a song I wrote nearly seven years ago. The American soul -- we like to tell lots of good stories about ourselves. Here's one that's not so good -- the account of the Moore's Ford Lynchings, in which a Black WWII veteran and his pregnant wife were murdered. No one was ever convicted of the crimes. How much of this same cruel spirit is still with us now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_Ford_lynchings

there’s a tree in Georgia that never should have grown
it held the bodies upright they were tied with rope

I will be redeemed I will sing and shout
I will be restored just not now

Mae Murray was  twenty four heavy with a child
when her head had fallen down they cut the baby out

forty legs that walked away forty eyes that saw
twenty souls that never said a word to the Georgia law

1997 fifty years had gone 
someone came to find the place and mark the dead with stones

Mistress

I’ve just found that I’ve a mistress
And music is her name
Though she boards between the chords
She’s with me every day 

And she dances through my hands
Dreams with me in bed
She sings to me
Incessantly 
This mistress in my head

And she sings the songs of life to me
That only I can hear
Fragments echo furiously 
As they vanish in thin air
And she plays me like a symphony 
That only I can hear
And her whispered notes fall effortlessly 
Like snowflakes through still air

So when the coast is clear
And my wife still sleeps in bed
You know I think she’s known about us
Quite a while
Sweet mistress in my head

Then she laughs just like an orchestra 
But still let’s be discreet 
Is that a sitar that calls afar
Sweet mistress in my head

And she sings the songs of life to me 
That only I can hear 
Fragments echo defiantly 
As  they vanish in thin air 
And she plays me like a symphony 
That only I can hear
And her whispered notes fall
Effortlessly 
Like snowflakes through still air

Моя новая запись - интерпретация русской народной песни "Ой да не вечер", песня под гитару, с гармониями и фортепиано. 
"Ой да не вечер" (ещё упоминается под названием "Сон Степана Разина") это народная песня русских казаков. Песня, вероятно, относится к стоянке казаков на островах Каспийского моря. 
Слушайте на Telegram/YouTube/SoundCloud, надеюсь, вам она понравится!
Желаю всем всего самого доброго!❤️

My new recording is an interpretation of the Russian folk song "Oy da ne vecher", a song with guitar, harmonies and piano. 
"Oy da ne vecher" (also referred to as "Stepan Razin's Dream") is a folk song of the Russian Cossacks. The song probably refers to the Cossacks' camp on the islands of the Caspian Sea.
Listen on Telegram/YouTube/SoundCloud, hope you will like it!
Wishing you all the best!❤️

Ой да не вечер

Ой да не вечер, да не вечер
Мне малым мало спалось
Мне малым мало спалось
Ой, да во сне привиделось

Мне во сне привиделось
Будто конь мой вороной
Разгулялся, расплясался
Ой, разрезвился подо мной

Налетели ветры злые
Со восточной стороны
И сорвали мою шапку 
Ой, с моей буйной головы

Ой да не вечер, да не вечер
Мне малым мало спалось
Мне малым мало спалось
Ой, да во сне привиделось

Oh it's not evening

Oh, it's not evening, it's not evening
I didn't sleep much 
I didn't sleep much 
Oh, it seemed to me in a dream

I dreamed
As if my black horse 
Went wild, danced
Oh, he frolicked under me

Evil winds came 
From the eastern side
And tore my hat 
Oh, from my wild head

Oh, it's not evening, it's not evening
I didn't sleep much 
I didn't sleep much 
Oh, it seemed to me in a dream

Ой да не вечер

Gag balloon - 28-6-2025

Greetings to the SoundCloud community! Gratitude to you all for your artistry and culture of kindness. 💕 

Due to life circumstances, I've had to step back from singing, but have decided to pull this song from the vault. 

I've been sitting on this one for more than a year, held back by the usual crippling perfectionism. I've decided life's too short to waste time hiding art, when it might possibly bring joy to someone else, so here it is in its imperfect glory. All vocals sung by myself - but I take no credit for the wonderful writing and arranging - please see credits below:

This is an amazing SATB choral arrangement of "I Love You" by Billie Eilish. Credit is due to both Billie Eilish O'Connell and Finneas O'Connell for the words and music, as well as Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh for the choral arrangement. I came across it years ago, while working with a (fabulous) high school jazz choir. I fell in love with the crunchy harmonies, but had trouble deciding what colours I wanted for the instrumental part, which is part of the reason why it's sat in the vault for so long. 

In this particular choral arrangement, the instrumentation calls for piano, but here, I split it into a digital electric bass line, and electric piano. I kind of liked the funky, ethereal sound of it, but I wasn't sure if there was something else that might sit better against the SATB vocals. I'm curious, and open to hearing suggestions for other instrumentation options. Folks who know me know that I've got some experience with singing, but I am out of my league when it comes to arranging and recording, so I know there's always room for improvement.  

In this era of auto-tune, I would encourage listeners (and myself!) to embrace the imperfection of real, un-corrected vocals. Art doesn't have to be perfect to have value... right? I hope to convince myself...  🙃

Lyrics: 

It's not true
Tell me I’ve been lied to
Crying isn't like you, ooh
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to
Let someone see right through, ooh

Baby, won't you take it back?
Say you were trying to make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn’t mean to say "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to, ooh

Up all night, on another red-eye
I wish we never learned to fly
Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie
Didn't mean to make you cry, ooh

Baby won't you take it back?
Say you were trying to make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn't mean to say "I love you"
I love you and I don't want to, ooh

The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dying

We fall apart as it gets dark
I'm in your arms in Central Park
There's nothing you could do or say
I can't escape the way I love you

I don't want to, but I love you
Ooh

I Love You (Billie Eilish cover - SATB choral arrangement)

Hey Friends,

Have to take some time to take care of family right now. My apologies if you have been waiting on a reply to an email. I promise I will get back to everyone. It’s just going to take a little longer. Hope you are all enjoying the summer. Every day is a gift. Enjoy it. 

Peace and love,
Rayna

Taking some time.
