A Pretty Waterfall

You walked into the room that night
Like a storm above our heads
And it felt like a hard rain 
Felt like a bridge was going to fall 
But you weren't an ocean, holding me up 
You weren’t a river, come to carry me home 
You were a waterfall cutting through stone 
A pretty waterfall, cutting through stone

You sat down on a stool at the bar 
And it had to be next to mine
You asked if I’d ever 
You asked if I’d ever been here before 
But you weren’t temptation, bending my will
And you weren’t the devil, come for my soul
It takes many years and it cuts to the bone
But you were a waterfall, cutting through stone

We walked out of the bar that night
Through the wood towards the river
And the air smelled sort of heavy
And we started running, it felt like a flood
But you weren’t there to baptise me, in those deep dark eyes
You weren’t there to wash away, my sins and my lies
Dived into the roaring water down to the sand
Then we swam into the waterfall, holding hands

Ciudad Prohibida

Ya no hay mas nada que ver,
no tengo nada que hacer,
voy flotando con  la brisa.
Yo necesito saber
como me vas a   encender.

Angel del amanecer,
ven a buscarme otra vez
para sanar las heridas.
Para ponerme de pie
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras,
tejen sus mentiras por la red.

No vivo para temer 
yo sirvo para crecer
lejos de tanta codicia.
lo que yo llevo en mi haber
son mis sueños en papel.

Musa del amanecer,
ven a ayudarme otra vez
para colmarnos de vida.
Para ponerme de pie     
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras
traman sus mentiras por la red.

Letra y Música: Pichy Sotomayor

Ciudad Prohibida ( Andina / Planes / Sotomayor )

I needed everything you gave
Everyday I was wasting away
I needed...
I see it, things I threw away
Pacing the room, remember the day
I see it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La,la,la,la
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still waiting for my time to come
Patiently waiting, ready to fire 
Off....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No feelings, your blank and dreary eyes
Never could say for certain that
You tried...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I know it, I'm not fine
I'm lost in a maze, running blind
And bare false witness to these rants
I'm not in control, your command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone lead me out
Far away from all this sound
Someone lead me out
Away from here, away from here

Instant Soul

Again inspired to do this piece this way.. it is different than what i have done in the past.  I am so amazed at this inspiration and I give God the credit.

YAHWEH original by doc van nice vocals by Lucy

The Rendezvous

Official NFT

the rhythm of this was probably inspired by that thing we did as kids when you rode a brush around, pretending it was a horse..or was it just me?
i think the word for this beat is 'lolopping'  (i really don't get the chance to use that enough, hence i can't spell it)
finally got a baritone 'refrain' ....nice and comfortable to sing for once :-)
a hymn to sometimes accept the ebbs and flows of the mind
it's cabaret time for some reason
any blown instruments welcome !!
otherwise i'll have to buy another clarinet and play on this..probably quite badly :-)

drowning

I chose to be who I am nothing more.
 Nothing less.

Floating

A stone in the sea, and then you look at me
And I'm floating away

Heart filled with lead, and then you turn your head
And I'm floating away

Wait, it's only love
It's only love
I've been looking for but
Wait, it's only love

It's all gravity, and then you talk to me 
And I'm floating away

Time weighs on my mind
I see you and the clocks unwind
And I'm floating away
Floating away
Floating away
Floating away
