宙にそっと / The Wind is Blowin’
=========================

風は吹いている
時が止まることに
抗うかのようだ

道は延びている
いつか終わることを
隠すかのようだ


宙にそっと　「負けた」と　言ったさ
傍できっと　かつての　願いが
笑ってるんだ


風は吹いている 
時が止まることに
抗うかのようだ

眩しすぎる朝
重いドアを叩き
呼んでるかのようだ


窓にそっと　「悔しい」と　言ったさ
傍できっと　終わらない　想いが
踊ってるんだ


宙にそっと　「負けた」と　言ったさ
傍できっと　かつての　願いが
笑ってるんだ

宙にそっと / The Wind is Blowin’

Joyeux Anniversaire. Erik Satie was born on this date May 17 in 1866.

In 1887 when he was 21, and before his famous Gymnopodies and Gnossiennes had been completed, Erik Satie composed this third Sarabande as one of three he wrote for piano. At the time he was an impoverished conservatory dropout making his living as a piano player in bohemian taverns and cabarets like Le Chat Noir. The Sarabandes were not published until 1911 with the support of Ravel who also introduced and performed the second Sarabande in concert in 1911. Here i've arranged the third Sarabande for 2 guitars doubled. Hope you enjoy the mystery and captivating harmony that attracted me to it.

________________________________

The Tree

You are probably
An old tree
Standing exactly 
Where you should be
Your condition…
It is ideal

You’re obviously 
An old tree
Standing exactly
Where you should be
Rooted deeply 
Down in history,

Scratching solid rock,
That’s where you stuck
Your bark 
Is notched
Tells the whole story
From the bottom to the glory

Roots and crown they radiate
Where a far too early 
Meets a far too late
And your branches spread out with might
Spreading to the light
Expand into the light…
Expanding to the light

In the threatening heat 
You provide me a retreat
Just letting me breathe
Just for a little while
In an escalating delta 
You offer me a shelter
Oh, just letting me breathe
Just for a little while

Letting me breathe

Lean on you 
For a couple of ys
And get through…
And be inspired by you
And sing my way through 	    			

Lean on you 
For a couple of ys
And get through…
