love the muffled synth-y sound echoing the vocal lines!!

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely
 
[Verse]
In shadows I've lingered, pain a close friend
But now I seek to transcend, let this torment end
Embrace the night, let the moon light my path
Inhale the sweet air, escape from the past
Trade tears for laughter, let joy be my guide
No more will I hide, let my spirit abide

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Verse]
Once a captive to sorrow, a mistress of woe
But I've slain that sorrow, watched her ghost go
Dance in the rain, let the raindrops sing
New life in each spring, my heart shall cling
Colors flood my dreams, now awakened I stand
I'm ready for the land where golden peace expands

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Bridge]
The sun will rise on my hope-filled dawn
I've shed my chains and the night is gone
In life's dance, I twirl and leap again
With courage as my guide, I'll transcend

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

[Verse]
I was never defeated, just paused for a time
In the silence, I waited for life’s perfect rhyme
Now the dawn calls me forth, I answer its song
For too long I’ve been still, but now I belong
The chains of the past, I leave them behind
With each step, I find the courage to shine

[Chorus]
I was born to fly
No longer will I cry
Feel the world and sigh
In love, I will rely

Born To Fly [Cabaret]

I wanna go back home again
I wan' another chance with you
Don' wanna stay here till the end
Don' wanna find somebody new again

Now I sit and wonder
How I lost my way
Back home

I WANNA GO BACK HOME AGAIN

Here is a collaboration I did with Axel Menningen, who is a wonderful orchestrator. It's been a privilege to work with him and see how he brought this simple, but lovely, old folk song to life with beautiful "highland" style orchestration.

Lyrics:
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

時の風 / Whispers of Time
===================
いつになく凡庸な　夕陽と闇の狭間
ため息も溶けるほど

夢の中に隠した　薄れゆくフォトグラフ
二度と現れぬひと


音のない水面を
月明かりの波間を

時の風　白い帆の　船はゆく

　
戻れない過去とか
囲い込めない未来に

きっと未だ　寄り添って　「今」はゆく



沈む夕陽さえ
止められない僕らが

流れの意味　ゆく末を　知ろうとしてる



音のない水面を
月明かりの波間を

時の風　白い帆の　船はゆく


戻れない過去とか
囲い込めない未来に

きっと未だ　寄り添って　船はゆく


時の風 / Whispers of Time

Auditory impressions from the Berlin Subway merge with harsh drones, glitchy beats, weird sounds and melancholic melodies to invite you on a psychedelic journey beneath the surface of the city.

Dreams

election eve, november 5, 2024

It is the second act of an uncoiling Shakespearean tragedy with the return of all the bad actors; the corrupt courtiers, the feckless sons and whorish handmaids, the ambitious assassins, the smug black robed judges and boot licking lawyers, the drooling oligarchs, the sycophant politicians and slimy religious zealots, all eager to have their way with the women and the daughters who cannot appeal to justice because justice is vanquished. No checks, no balance. 

The final act portends banishment and deportation, violence and failed foreign alliances, right wing retribution, final solutions and the mad king’s revenge. It is all tear stained and blood drenched in irony as the authors and audience of this particular tragedy are the American people themselves.

Peggy-Lee
Lyrics are by FG

You're lone since I'm dead, my Peggy-Lee
Stay at home with your melancholy
You're saint and holly

Since I'm dead you draw, you write and paint
And compose music, Peggy-Lee, ain't
You holly and saint ?

Oh
Peggy-Lee
You miss me, Peggy, Peggy, miss me, Peggy
Oh
Peggy-Lee
You miss me, Peggy, Peggy, my Peggy-Lee

You're lone since I'm dead, my Peggy-Lee
Playing old albums of hillbilly
You're strong and holy

Since months, my Peggy, you live among
The bad and the wrong, but sing your song
You're holy and strong

He wanted to shoot you my Peggy
But you could have hidden behind me
Gave my life for you my Peggy-Lee
As you would have given yours for me

Oh
Peggy-Lee
You miss me, Peggy, Peggy, oh my Peggy

Oh
Peggy-Lee
You miss me, Peggy, Peggy, my Peggy-Lee

If fact I'm not dead, my Peggy-Lee
You can forget your melancholy
Have fun Ma Jolie

There was no bullet in the man's gun
I dead-like stayed months under the sun
Peggy-Lee have fun

Peggy Lee
