Night Music (2017) Anthology CD3 Track 04

I heard this by Sierra Ferrel and just love it by her. I had no clue it was co-written by Ray Charles. This is a casual version in my friends, Jack Beck, house. We just enjoy getting together and doing sone songs on the fly that we mention, look up and give it a whirl. Jack is on guitar, and a much better picker than I am. He will be glad to tell you! HA! I know the truth when I hear it!  Anyway, we just have a good time playing music and singing. He has a back yard full of chickens, so it seemed fitting to do this song. We wondered about the meaning, if it was about a Mom who blew the coop and the family was a wondering where she went. The pic I took of Jack serenading his chickens, Ha!  Yep, we kinda country. :)

Hey Me Hey Momma/ Cover/ Susi & Jack Beck

Something different :-) ... real Danmoi, harmonica, overtone flute; EWI trumpet & programmed bass and drums; a kind of country-folk-tribal mixture jam :-)

I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Edit] is a tribute to all those who have faced the hell of growing up with undiagnosed autism or finding themselves somewhere on the autism spectrum without knowing it. It’s also dedicated to outsiders in general—the pain of navigating a world where neurotypical people, often unconsciously or consciously, form a silent consensus to avoid understanding those who are different. This song honors the sensitive and thoughtful, those who struggle to fit into a world often ruled by the "low-empathy" and the "self-assured."

I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Edit] is also for those who grew up with mentally ill parents who never sought help, forcing their children to absorb and take responsibility for their emotions—becoming codependent, perhaps psychologically abused, or worse. It speaks to the generational trauma and lifelong challenges that come from walking on eggshells around a dysfunctional parent.

This song is a call to break the taboo around mental health and demand a change in how society views those who are unwillingly made victims of others' psychological issues. Through its lyrics and emotional depth, I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Edit] urges us all to see beyond the façade and advocate for a more compassionate and understanding world.

[Verse]
I learned to smile, the way they do
But their laughter fades, and I’m left confused
Words are easy, but meanings hide
In the space between, where I reside

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Verse]
Their faces shift, but I can’t see
The lines they draw, weren't meant for me
I read the books, I know the rules
But in their world, I’m just a fool

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Verse]
I’m smart enough, to understand
But their silent codes, escape my hands
They say one thing, but mean another
Their hidden truths, I’ll never uncover

[Chorus]
I see the world, just like they do
But I’ll never look in their eyes
I blend right in, in the light of day
But inside, I'm lost in their lies

[Bridge]
Behind the mask, I wear so well
Is a heart that aches, a silent yell
They talk in circles, I walk a line
In a world of noise, where I’m defined

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I’m one of them, or so it seems
But the space between, is filled with dreams
I’ll keep on trying, to break through
But in their eyes, I’m never true

I’ll Never Look In Their Eyes [Edit]

Today’s #MusicalMinute delivers a message of peace with a calming melody on the French horn accompanied by minimalist pentatonic scales and a restful heartbeat.  In the background you will hear the ever-present undulating pentachord in the strings being transferred into a humming choir.  Regular listeners will recognise the familiar structure, but I still marvel at the infinite abundance of melodic ideas.  What do you think?
