“Fool’s Gold”

Look into our future
Truth be told
Our love still shines
Though the tarnish grows
I’m seeking shimmers on the ocean’s floor 
Oh, what the hell you only live once you know

Not coming up for air today
(You’re) still digging in 
Yeah… I think I’ll stay below

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding on to hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

Your love I can’t hold

Sending out a Save Our Soul
Though I know our chances are low
Deeper and deeper and deeper we go
But all we have to blame is -- this hope

Sinking deeper into the cold
What do I have to give up? My soul
 
Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your danger down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

It’s a fool’s goal
I know…  I know…  I know… 
Your love I can’t hold
   
<Breakdown>

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s fool’s gold
 
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold

Voici le deuxième volet de l’aventure “Pluie et Lumière”
La première fois que j’ai entendu ce magnifique instrumental de Dan, j’ai tout de suite su que je devais raconter quelque chose de spécial, de sombre mais en même temps plein d’espoir. Cette piste devait être également  précédée d’un beau prélude pour que l’histoire soit complète:

Here is the second part of the “Rain and Light” adventure
The first time I heard this beautiful instrumental from Dan, I immediately knew I had to tell something special, dark but at the same time hopeful. This track also had to be preceded by a beautiful prelude for the story to be complete:

PLUIE ET LUMIERE

C est là en plein cœur de l’orage qu’Elle surgit là
C’est depuis le fond de moi qu’elle me foudroie
Elle surgit là, quelque part

Ces nouvelles montagnes à grimper…
Je me retourne une dernière fois vers ce monde, 
ce bout de moi que je vais laisser,
Seule une  partie va me rester.
Je regarde l’autre se détacher,
Je n’ai pas le choix, je dois avancer:
A cette main du destin, je ne peux résister.
Une nouvelle partie va se rejouer 
Est-ce à prendre ou à laisser?
Vais-je partir vers ces contrées insoupçonnées?
Les dés de ma vie ont été relancés
Vais-je la même rester?
Tout vient de se bouleverser
Toutes les pages de ma vie se sont retournées
Tout a été redistribué…pour tout recommencer
Tel un phoenix je renais de mes cendres 
Je ne peux plus prétendre…

Je regarde une dernière fois tout autour de moi…
Et je fais alors le premier pas 

Et même si la pluie ne cesse pas
C’est une autre histoire qui commence pour moi 
Elle surgit là, elle surgit là….


RAIN AND LIGHT

It is there in the heart of the storm that it arises there
It’s from deep inside that it strikes me down
it appears there, somewhere

These new mountains to climb…
I return one last time to this world,
this piece of me that I am going to leave behind,
Only part will remain with me.
I watch the other one break away,
I have no choice, I must move forward:
I cannot resist this hand of fate.
A new game will be played again
Take it or leave it?
Will I leave for these unsuspected lands?
The dices of my life have been rolled again
Will I stay the same?
Everything has just turned upside down
All the pages of my life have turned over
Everything was redistributed…to start all over again
Like a phoenix I am reborn from my ashes
I can no longer pretend...

I look around me one last time...
And then I take the first step

And even though the rain doesn't stop
This is another story that begins for me
It arises there, it arises there

Pluie et Lumière (with DAN-DT)

Written by James Geer

 I’ll sleep all day
 down in Wonderland
No bills to pay
 down in Wonderland
I’ll live for free
That’s where I’ll be
I’ll be all day
 down in Wonderland

I’ve bread and circuses
 down in Wonderland
 where my purpose is
 down in Wonderland
Drop by and see
I’m always free
Free to be
 down in Wonderland

Wonderland

Mark Kurtis Adams (1956-2022) is the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. We were friends for forty years. Since his passing, I have been combing through his massive catalog of original songs; many co-written with friends, many written solo. It would be a crime for the world to never hear the music I grew up on. Mark gave me permission/freedom to use his music in any way I choose before he died. Here is VOLUME 2 of Mark's music as I have interpreted it.

Carry My Heart

I don't know, why I am into Hip Hop and EDM lately, but I can not help it. And I have no idea where to publish it, so SC is my place for my out of place tracks. I was very impressed by the power of this woman defending the rights of the Maori-people, so it inspired me to make a track out off her speech at the New Zealand parliament.

Mad World

This is a tune from my favorite LP from this band called "A Deeper Understanding". Again you may not recognize it if you know the band, as my interpretation fits my style on a 6 string acoustic. I really like this song and itis fun to sing and easy to play on the guitar.

"Thinking of a Place” marks a subtle, focused return from the War on Drugs. Stretching out across 11 minutes, it is less a reintroduction than a reimmersion into Adam Granduciel’s spectral Americana. Nearly every aspect of the song is tenuous, either disappearing or located just beyond our grasp. Granduciel sings, “Love is like a ghost in the distance out of reach.” He warns us, “There’s a darkness over there/But we ain’t going.” He laments a lover who “vanished in the night” while he gazes at the Missouri River. The music shifts between ambient passages of synth and fuzzed-out guitar solos, neither building in intensity nor losing momentum. Instead, Granduciel sounds locked in perpetual motion, sometimes slowing down to observe his surroundings, and sometimes pushing forward and just letting it blur outside the window.
The power of “Thinking of a Place” comes from the way Granduciel communicates urgency through such patient music."                    Pitchfork
