A   030

I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master         

Brilliant Blue featuring Dónal Lunny

Игрок (Gambler) 
      1. В этот грязный бордель занесло меня как-то,
    По туману в трущобах загнавши коней,
    Я  не глядя летел, уходя от погони,
    От картёжных моих самозванных друзей.
    Я  не глядя летел, уходя от погони,
    От моих никогда не трезвевших друзей.

2. В день, когда проиграл я все деньги и саблю,
    Что вручил за отвагу мне Суворов отец,
    Ветреностью своей боле не позабавлю,
    Понял я, что игре наступает конец.

3. Знать в тот вечер шальной отвернулась Фортуна,
    Что хранила меня от французских штыков,
    Но, разбив до конца месье Наполеона,
    Пал сраженный похмельем с его коньяков.

4. Не боялся в бою я ни пушечных ядер,
    Ни замерзнуть в снегу, заплутавши в лесах.
    Лишь хранил на на груди я платочек графини,
    Долгожданную встречу лелеял в мечтах.

5. На привалах в степи, где делились гусары
    Славой многих и лёгких любовных побед,
    С упоением внимал я напевам гитары
    И хранил данный мною молчания обет.

6. Три целковых, мадам, это все, что имею.
    Не сочтите за лесть, вы - вне всяких похвал!
    А без платья и титулов та же графиня
    С вами вряд ли сравнится, я бы прямо сказал!
    А без платья и титулов даже графиня
    С вами вряд ли  сравнится, я бы прямо сказал!

7. Сожалею и сам, но раскланяться должен,
    Уходя в никуда, проклиная рассвет.
    Слез моих больше нет, реки с ними иссякли,
    Нет поместья отца, и любви больше нет.
       Вам спасибо за ночь. Всё напрасно, прощайте!
          Боль излечит мою у виска пистолет.

Lyrics:

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
The night's receding
For you I'll keep believing 
Your amber eyes to my surprise are gently grieving

Lean closer 
Please let me show ya
The love inside no need to hide I already know ya

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Time plays games with my mind
The winds of change blow indifferently outside
Only together
Can we build a world for the better
So take my hand my dear 
Hold it forever
Forever

Day dreaming
An enchanted feeling
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
The night's receding
For you I'll keep believing
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more
Forever more
Forever more
Take my hand in yours hold it forever more

It's Over Again

Seagull surprised me with this lovely song as a gift for my 70th birthday, featuring his playing on acoustic guitar, and likening our friendship and musical comradery to a "walk in the morning dew".  I was beyond honored:)  Then the thought occurred to him, "what if Ed, Dan, Peter, and David joined me on my walk?"  Peter's words set the stage comparing our friendship (and lasting friendship in general) to fine gold "hewn from so much more than mere common ground"  Ed's gorgeous electric guitar defines the melody, Dan's synths and Clara's vocals add depth and emotion, and I get to decorate an already beautiful production in the left and right channels.  It is now a magnificent 70th birthday gift, enriched by my musical bond and friendship with these fine artists, and one I want to share with you dear listener.  Be blessed as you walk with us "in the morning dew":)

Seagull has also created a lovely video to celebrate our walk together and invite you to join us there: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDbapIXADdg
Peter's introductory poem:
A tempered bond of ether gold forged from trust in seeming kin
Blenched of ore hewn from so much more than mere common ground
Metallicised, a like of kind that cannot tarnish, ne’er to rust, it’s strength, atomic, set within
And so my grateful thoughts are due, my friend, to you, as one where empathy is ever found
To crystallise a state of mind as if from walks in morning dew as bright new days begin.

A Walk In Morning Dew (Seagull, Ed Cunningham, Dan-DT, Peter, and David)

An emotive, downtempo triphop soundtrack to chill out to 🤍
Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for...
