Hans Albers: All other instruments, Arrangement & Production

This was one of those songs that was inspired by something Hans wrote,  prompting an idea of the movement of water representing the melding of musical ideas.

Whilst we were working on “Release The Ashes”, he sent me a working arrangement in an email, signing off with the words "Love from The Elbe to The Thames”.  Friends and family often say things that spark song ideas and this poetic  greeting stuck in my mind.

I looked at a map that showed The Elbe flowing into The North Sea and The Thames into the Estuary a little to the south and imagined the two bodies of water flowing toward each other, intertwining back and forth, much as the song ideas between Hans, Gary and myself are inclined to do when we’re working on something.

So I have to thank Hans on two counts, both for bringing the idea to mind and also for the arrangement he created, which to me is very special.  Hope you do too.  Many thanks for listening.

The river runs from Elbe toThames
Connection between distant friends 
North Sea growing back and forth
Mixture giving and taking at source 

A watery song with dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

Mersey mixture in history and song
Salt water blends and tries to belong
Move East to West, North To South
Trickle of ideas by word of mouth

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river to river to river to river...

Tidal transfer of words and music
Echoing sounds, a demo acoustic 
Treaty of Versailles to Parliament plaque 
Rules of agreement, musical track

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

The river runs from Thames to Elbe
Passing secrets, some to be held
Musical water with mixture to last
Ferry sails sea with historical past 

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river
River to river
River to river to river to river….

=============================
傘があれば / If only I had an umbrella
=============================

君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


だれの　ために
今宵道を照らす？

想いの　限り
手を振るひとをみた


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


翼が　あれば
君のもとへ行こう

傘が　あれば
君に傾けよう


君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

For Maïa...

I never released this song as it was written for my Daughter and private at the time..  She's much older now, but I hope this will serve as a lullaby for those who need it xx. Written with so much love for you my Maïa...  So much Love. 

Lyrics:

Maia my bee on her flying machine
Flying so high like a circus trapeze
Dashing and daring ‘bove clouds and ‘bove seas,
Braving the skies with the greatest of ease.

Riding her horse as she lasso’s the moon,
Scooping up stars as she’s singing  a tune,
Giddy up cowgirl, the suns’ rising soon,
Stardust a trail as you’re passing the moon! 

Round up the planets and sing to stars,
Sail on the ocean’s of Pluto and mars,
Taming the lions and tigers and bears, 
Brave new adventures that carry you there.

Brave like an Angel and kind like dove,
Dancing and singing and giving your love,
May your dreams always be wondrous and free
and know that you’re Loved, little Maia our bee.

Maia Bee On Her Flying Machine
