Call from Midnight

When we were clearing my brother in law's house after he died in an accident,we came across a little written musing. It's the spoken part at the end of this short track. Perhaps not polished,yet poignant. Rest easy Alan.

Magic at work
There we go
Watch it unfold
It's all guesswork
Nothing to show
All uncontrolled

Drifting along
Aimlessly
Life and the flow
Is there a song
Just for me
Will I ever know

When life has lost it's theme
It's crazy impossible dream
And a heart is beyond tears
And worries and fears
Then the answers lie at best
In the scudding distant clouds
Or in memories of vibrant years
Long gone

UnBoxed February 2024

[ d o w n l o a d a b l e ]

Play With Me

February brings a slower, pensive, ballad from the WAG fellas. Perhaps we're feeling a little sentimental, or reflective in the bleak midwinter?  Maybe it is the approach of Valentine's Day slowing things down, or is it simply age, and the desire to capture anew, the childlike wonder of looking up in a gentle snowfall?

Change is the key to being fresh in our creative approaches to music. One For The Eye is a poem I wrote in celebration of the winter season. It was adapted by Keith to better fit an easy listening composition I had sent to him earlier. Keith ran with the challenge to make a song out of these parts and delivers a song that, we trust,  gives one pause to conjure up those moments from childhood in the snow, and smile. 

Two observations offer a frame for this song:
This week, Nova Scotia, where I have family, received a record setting dump of snow (Sydney N.S. received 1.5 m), and that is where the muse opens.
The other observation is that in the west, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where I also have family, there is too little snow accumulation leading to worries about water tables, crops, and forest fires this summer. Too much or too little is not good.

Lyrics:
One for the Eye 

Too much can be an undesirable burden
Too little leave all hopes abandoned.
One at a time,
One on the tongue,
and one in the eye.

Or could it be a warm iconic postcard?
Or would it be much better left just as Mother intended
One at a time
One on the tongue
and one in the eye

A light descent from heaven
It may be euphoric
Though always seen,  
never heard in the falling

One at a time
One at a time
One for the tongue
One for the tongue
…and one in the eye

One For The Eye

The day begins in the mirror
Tired eyes wake up
Made up
Lips red as bricks
And then the coffee she drinks every morning
And she wears blue and yellow
She says she would love to be employed permanently
She says the world is smaller when you fly every day
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider, just keeps smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny, cloud rider
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider, just keeps smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider
And after every landing
Is she the smile in the surf
Between a thousand passengers who don't want to wait
Passport controls and customs
And then a three hour stay
And Jenny drinks the coffee cold
And she googles Panama
Two years ago she was there for ten minutes
Oh, Panama
Oh, Panama (Panama)
Oh oh oh Panama (Panama)
Oh oh oh Panama (Panama)
Oh, how beautiful is Panama (Panama)
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider, just keeps smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny, cloud rider
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider, just keeps smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider
Welcome on board
Welcome on board
Welcome on board
Welcome on board
Ten thousand miles above the sea every day
She says she comes home sometimes
And I don't know where from anymore
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider, just keeps smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny, cloud rider
Jenny Jenny, cloud rider
Keep smiling
Just like all flight attendants
Jenny, cloud rider
Welcome on board

Jenny Jenny  (Coverversion)

'hard work to live'

The shadows of leaves
rustling in the breeze
make me wanna leave you forever.
I'm done with my pleads,
a man has his needs,
I no longer believe you're my treasure. 
Well, most of the time
I've walked the line
that you've marked for mine feet, my lady.
I've been hopin' to find
a reason of kinds
to starkly defy your ass, baby.
Because I'm so tired
of feeling so mired
I give in to thoughts that misgive. 
And what will transpire
is no such desire
for you 'cause it's hard work to live. 

I sit and I stare,
mostly without care 
from an uncomfortable chair almost daily
at words on a screen
on a type of machine
I manipulate so they can pay me.
Although I am there
I'm not in my chair
I'm floating in orbit around me
exploring my dreams
and anxieties
that are coaxing me once they have found me.
I need a break.
This shit, I can't take.
Give in 'cause I've no more to give.
I'm finally awake
and from this I take,
livin's work, why're we workin' to live? 

I wake around noon
in a stifling room,
four walls and a ceiling around me.
I wait for the moon,
otherwise it's too soon
to emerge and come swoon your ass, baby.
But I'm happy alone
in this world of unknowns
that has shown it can change any moment.
In which I'm a drone
'til it's all overthrown
and my mind is blown knowing I know it.
So I'll carry on
in a world of all wrongs
that has left me no rights, still I give
all that I can
when I feel like that man,
'cause shit, it's sure hard work to live.

hard work to live

Lyrics:

Trying not to look at you
When I see you are coming this way
Trying not to show
That you are on my mind all day..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Trying to turn away, so you won't se me drool
Failing to tell myself, that you are just a fool..

When you give me a smile like that
Im melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Trying to resist your charm
But you are like a magnet
Hoping that you won't see, that I am so in my knees..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Doing stupid things, every time you're near
Saying stupid words, don't mean them all i swear..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Wondering if there is any point in holding back
Loving you and your being
Loving that tickling feeling..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling...
