I'm worldless wanting to comment on the intense lyrics, I'll never understand  problems resulting in us killing innocents when each human life has the same value.

Cool song, great vocals, and production!! …..🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024… and Happy New Year!😊

Beautiful Night

The Mare

1
Guernica, the holy city of the Basques, 
Is located east of Bilbao in northern Spain.
It became known worldwide when it was
Attacked by German and Italian fighter planes 
More than 85 ys ago
During the Spanish Civil War 
Bombed the city into rubbles and ashes
And everyone else who lived there before
Guernica, one of the first airborne bombardments 
Aiming to eradicate civilians and other innocents

There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
It’s monochrome and cubistic,
It makes your stomach tighten up,
When you think about everything that's happened ever since then and, 
Above all,
What is yet to come ?
What’s next upon the sleeve ?

3
There is a long and 
Pointed, deadly spear 
Piercing right through the chest
That’s like a manifest 
Just look into the frantic eyes of the dying horse
And you know and feel immediately, what’s goin’ on
It makes one wonder who the hell is comitting thus 
And for fucks sake what's basically wrong with us 
There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
No matter what point you may choose
Will the victors again 
be writing down the history ?
It was the victors backthen,
Who wrote down history long ago...

The Mare

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

Hey… Happy December wherever you are. This is an early winter song, with a hint of cabin fever going on. Luckily, I still have my sense of humor, although not much to say right now, as… well you live on this planet too. Aren’t we having fun these days? Thanks for dropping by, Mark

What's This Song About Anyway?

Lyrics:
Take'em out of their shell,
Break'em out if you will.
Run'em down the old hill,
Do with'em what you will.
As you watch them roll,
I hope you find a soul.
Somewhere on that pole,
It sure is getting cold.
Out with the old, Out with the old.
You should know to talk loud,
Wonder if you'd help out.
Oh what's the use?
You're impaired and obtuse.
As you watch it fall down,
Tell me what have you found?
Is there anything real?
Tell me what's the appeal? 
Out with the old, out with the old.
When will you see? 
I don't hear thee.
Break out, break free, 
come on it's easy.
Push hard you can, break through.
I've seen you do this more than once before.
I know you never meant, (to come back.)
Not to be here present, (You forget.)
Out with the old, (In with the New)
In with the New.

Out With The Old

Two short improvisations for this track....

LAST DRINK CLUB.

In her thoughts
Something's going on 
Where are her hips?
Where's her upper lip?
Slow it down, now, no need to rush
We've got all night

In her dreams (she can)
Be who she wants to be
Go out in a dress (with)
No one to impress

(Or) Lie awake
Awaiting another day
How long does a flower take to bloom?

Start of the day, she gets up too late
Calm down, now, it'll be okay. 
These things take time.

"Here's your order, sir." 
There's never a shittier word (to hear)
Rub the lipstick off
It clearly wasn’t enough

How long must she wait
How much money must she pay
To make herself a woman to you?

 How long must she lie awake
Awaiting a brand-new day?
And how long does a flower take-
How long does a flower take-
How long does a flower take-
How long does a flower take-
