lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Back when I was in grade school in Chicago, during music class, we would sing folk songs.  One of those songs was about the Erie Canal.  That one song: “ I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal…”. Anyhow, I used the chorus of that song as the chorus for our song.

That song was “Lo Bridge, Everybody Down” written by Thomas S Allen in 1912.

Erie Canal

Cast adrift 
On this river of time
Who’s that in front 
Who was left behind 

Life lifts you up
And spins you blind
Then casts you adrift 
On this river of time

One place
One time
When your life
Drifted into mine

Once here
Now gone
Only a splash of memory 
Lingers on and on

Low bridge
Everybody down
Low bridge 
Cause we’re coming 
To a town

And you’ll always
Know your neighbor
And you’ll always 
Know your pal
If you’ve ever navigated
On the Erie Canal

■概要(Overview)
財布を家に忘れた！交通系ICカードの残高は残り僅か。
まいったなぁ。

I forgot my wallet at home! I only have a little money left on my transportation IC card.
I'm in trouble.

■歌詞
ああ　もうろくなことにならないわ
言葉にならない気持ちが
胸の奥を　締め付けてくるんだ
ノートにメモして　壁に貼り付けて
絶対、絶対　Ah 忘れないように Yeah

Oh my goodness
I think I left my wallet at home
I have to walk home
やっちゃったね　わっはっはっは
わっはっはっは・・

夕陽目に染みるぜ　お腹も空いてきた
Ah ポイントカードも財布の中

As I walked, sharpening my five senses

こんな道があったんだ　(La La La ...)
あそこのパン屋おいしそう　(La La La ...)
いいな　いいな　いいな　いいな(Don't think,feel)
五感を研ぎ澄まし　(La La La ...)
第六感に目覚める　(La La La ...)

What a wonderful day it is!
What a terrible song!
Just walk straight ahead.
Don't ever say it's bad luck.
Don't forget the important things.

歩いて帰ろう
健康にいいし
段々ストレスも
忘れてくるから

甘い！甘い！
それは甘いわ！
上り下り繰り返す道
コロッケ食べたくても
あと十円足りないわ！

■Lyrics
Ah, nothing good will come of it
These indescribable feelings
Tighten the depths of my heart
Write them down in a notebook and stick them on the wall
Never, never forget Ah Yeah

Oh my goodness
I think I left my wallet at home
I have to walk home
You did it, hahaha
hahaha...

The setting sun stings my eyes, I'm getting hungry
Ah, my point card is in my wallet

As I walked, sharpening my five senses

There was a road like this (La La La ...)
That bakery over there looks delicious (La La La ...)
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice (Don't think, feel)
Sharpen your five senses (La La La ...)
Awaken to your sixth sense (La La La ...)

What a wonderful day it is!
What a terrible song!
Just walk straight ahead.
Don't ever say it's bad luck.
Don't forget the important things.

Let's walk home.
It's good for our health.
And it helps us forget about stress.

Sweet! Sweet!
That's so sweet!
The road goes up and down repeatedly.
Even if I want to eat a croquette,
I'm ten yen short!

i put a little spin on this four tops classic to suit my inclinations. 

peppermint oil face cream every morning
quirky shirt statements for every occasion
convos for every grocery store associate
cares for the underdog kids at the highschool
sings at the drop of a hat every day
always finds something kind to say
loves me for all of the way that i am
puts the moves on me makes me feel like a man
words of affirmation is her loving language
she'll light one up any time she can manage
brings me a drink when it's hot outside
knows what she wants and lays it on the line
messages her family and keeps up with her friends
early in the morning wakes me up with a grin
best damn woman that i ever seen
the illustrious velumptuous monika j. jean

ain't no woman (like the one i got)

I got a vocoder! I put it to its first use on my version of one of my favorite Pet Shop Boys songs. I was ambitious, and may have over done it, but it sure was fun!

Sometimes things go my way
Sometimes a win make a great day
I ain’t always down on myself

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Just saying, stuff piles up
Saying, don’t want to face it
Bear down and power through

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Down time in the afternoon
List of never ending honey do’s
Put up my feet, take a snooze

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Jerry Reed Would Be Better

This is the lyrics version of my piano piece (https://soundcloud.com/konrad-spittelberg/the-clap-of-one-hand). (Roughly) same melody, but now with lyrics. 
If the melody left you puzzled about the title, maybe the lyrics will connect the dots. Hope you enjoy it — drop me a comment, I’m curious what you think!

The Clap of One Hand - Lyrics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The high priest looked the monk straight into the eyes 
“You search for wisdom, want to see through disguise 
Then hear the clap of only one hand, 
Imagine tasting the kiss of only one lip!”

The monk was puzzled, did not know what to make of this question 
His mind was racing without the slightest suggestion 
The meaning was hiding so deep 
He could as well go to sleep

And as he lay down he thought and he thought some more, 
And soon he’d snore a Monkish snore 
Deep in his dream he saw the cosmic law 
As it is and will be and has been before

To find the truth you need to see the world through different frames,
As place and motion, time and energy play Heisenberg’s games
The one single truth, the clap of one hand deceives the ancient lore

And then his dream shifted to our world
Where flags of dogma are unfurled
Where it’s en vogue to scorn the views of those 
Whose minds are differently curled

They yell their slogans convinced that it's only their kind who knows truth
They silence doubt and debate to keep everything smooth
They vote in blocs convinced others mean harm
They don't want to discuss they don’t want to disarm
They spit poison and phlegm - 
Them is us, us is them

The monk awakened quite surprisingly rested – and something like pride filled his chest 
The dream had opened his eyes and he knew the deep meaning that the koan expressed 
And so as fast as his feet could carry him he ran to the temple ground Requesting to see the high priest and as soon as he met him he told him the solution he found:

“Avoid the clap of one hand 
'Cause you can not understand 
The world in all its true colors if your mind cannot bend 

Every Current or Tide 
Must with others collide, 
A single stream is quite boring, nothing happens inside.

Seek out the voices that are not like your own – 
Don’t guard your comfort like a dog protects its chewed upon bone 
Be cautious if all of your friends do agree – 
You might discover greeater insights without cheap harmony

A field of only one crop may spark in sunlight like gold, 
But slight disease might turn these fragile monoculture to mold 
No coral alone can just survive with it’s kind – 
Reefs only thrive when hundredthousand curious creatures entwine

Don’t flatten the ground so that your pace can be faster –
'Cause if you don’t train your balance each false step means disaster 
All life, all vision needs to ripple and bend – 
Not frozen in uniformity but free to transcend”

The monk fell silent, his speech was complete - 
He wanted praisal, but the priest kept his seat. 
An awkard silence filled slowly the air, 
The priest just sat there with a calm, timeless stare

“I like your thinking—it rings wise, it rings bold, 
It has reason, it's crafted, it's gold. 
But, dear monk, there might be one subtle twist: 
There is one aspect that you seem to have missed.

You see the truth where opinions compete, 
That wholeness only grows where none is complete. 
But if no single view should stand out alone 
Then even your own view must be overthrown

You praise duality, the joining of two - 
But what if your view in itself is not true? 
What if the world isn't built as you claim? 
What if we’ll never know the rules of the game?"

Hear the clap of one hand 
Avoid the clap of one hand 
Hear the clap of one hand 
Avoid the clap of one hand 
Hear the clap of one hand 
… Reflect on the clap of one hand

The Clap of One Hand (Piano Poetry)

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

Rap Attack

I will
Put you in a tourniquet
Bleeding there’s no stopping it
Got a pimple 
I be popping it
Tripple nipple
Don’t be knocking it
I be chopping it off
Now blood is slopping  
I ain’t mopping 
You be dropping
When you slippin’ in it 
Finna sit and watch as I scoff
Maybe lickin’ ice cream soft serve, huh
What cha sayin’ I can only seem to catch ya gurgling brah
Nah, No one can hear you scream 
When you got a severe stream of
Foam bumbling, bubbling from your mouth, tumbling gravitationally south
Bro, i’m feeling bad for your health
See you reeling keeling over looking so sad 
had I know your noncongealinkg slow at healing
I might have
Not tried to put you in a tourniquet 
Tried to put you in a tourniquet
Tried to put you in a
