Loved it, Vic! You nailed the Celtic sound. A delightful listen!

TEXTE : Alain VARLET
MUSIQUE : Stève CHARMET

C’est une histoire bien naturelle,
Sans vieux grimoire, ni Bescherelle,  
C’est le plus vieux des algorithmes, 
L’un plus un deux d’mathématiques ; 
Faut pas d’dico, d’vocabulaire,
Parfois les mots sont si vulgaires,
Just‘ conjuguer le verbe « aimer »
Sans préjugé ni imparfait.

REFRAIN :
Y’a pas d’école en terme d’amour,
Pas de diplôme pour les toujours,
Ça n’s’apprend pas dans de beaux livres,
Ça s’surprend, là, c’est juste à vivre.

C’est d’la chimie, des arts plastiques,
Y’a d’l’alchimie plus du physique,
En fin de conte, on apprendra
A s’décompter du bout des doigts ;
Y’a pas de triche, ni de combine,
On se déchiffre entre les lignes, 
Pour qu’on soit trois en conclusion, 
On trouvera la solution.
    
On se connait, certes, par cœur
Mais on répète avec bonheur,
Par correction, je préfère taire
Tout d’nos leçons particulières ;
Y’a pas d’avis porté en marge,
Au cours d’la vie, on calcule large,
Et si on s’rate sur un devoir, 
On rattrapera en cours du soir.

HISTOIRE NATURELLE

Whatcha Gonna Do With Your Life

Sand falls through the hourglass
Time slips away and life goes on
Through a window you look in the past
Searching for just where you went wrong 
The silence screams so loud
Words lost and never found

Its sad how we justify 
Things we do in our life
A promise made fades away
When we trade tomorrow for today
Pride will lead the fool
The wise embrace the truth

Whatcha gonna do 
When the truth dawns on you
That you've missed the best days of your life
Chances you've been taking
Have long been in the making
You know your well is gonna run dry

Things in life that were given
You see them fading away
It's a hard truth now that you're living
You can't take what you have to the grave
That long and winding road
Will never lead you home

Whatcha gonna do
When the truth dawns on you
That you've missed the best days of your life
Chances you've been taking
Have long been in the making
You know your well is gonna run dry
Dreams that you've been chasin'
With unreal expectations
Has kept the veil over your eyes
If you will awaken
You'll see what you've forsaken
So whatcha gonna do with your life

Whatcha gonna do
When the truth dawns on you
That you've missed the best days of your life
Chances you've been taking
Have long been in the making
You know your well is gonna run dry
Dreams that you've been chasin
With unreal expectations
Has kept the veil over your eyes
If you will awaken
You'll see what you've forsaken
Oh whatcha gonna do with your life

Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

V1
How many times have I been told not to leave
Guess I need to find a long bridge to burn
Wanna see glowing embers in my rear view mirror 
You’ve shoved me past the point of no return

Chorus
I think I could make a profession out of revenge
But folks say it’s best served as a cold plate
So I need a little distance, I need a little time
Your days coming but it may be a long wait

V2
I’m not going to worry if my past defines me
In a few minutes I can leave where I lived my whole life
No more you  no more them  only me and the horizon
Any direction will carry me away from the strife 

Chorus

Cold Plate

It is 1963.  As you are walking in the lobby of a Holiday Inn you hear the band playing in the lounge. You slow walk in time with the music from the lobby to the lounge bar.

I am playing the guitar and via my breath and keyboard controllers the tenor sax.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks.

Slow Walking
