理由 / the reason
====================
その理由を　考えはじめたら
答えの先に　行ってしまうよ

時代の先を　走ろうとしても
時代遅れに　なってしまうよ

ゆずれないものとは　なに？

その行く末を　憂えていたら
希望を先に　捨ててしまうよ

時代の痕を　なぞろうとしても
置いてきた傷が　痛んでしまうよ

事実関係だけを　みて

悪い噂の　一つくらいなら
裏切りさえ　愛おしい

はかりごとの闇から　届く術のない
君へのうたを　唄う　　　理由…

押し留めた願望　ゆらめく感情
割り振られた運命 想いあぐねる焦燥
切り取られた残像　引き離された絆
どこか　遠くへ

悪い噂の　一つくらいなら
裏切りさえ　愛おしい

閉ざされた街から　誰にも唄えない
君へのうたを　唄う　　　 理由…

You Complete Me

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

Written and recorded close to the Avon in Stratford upon Avon, Nov 2022
Rick's drums added via the internet from just north of Finham Sewer in Dec 2022 ;-))

My submission for the December 2022 Sim Selection monthly challenge of Benn Jordan's discord community.

Theme: A Crack In Time
Keywords: guarded, helpless
Optional Challenge: Time is of the essence. Time is an illusion. Time is money. Time flies.

My compositional idea was to represent multiple time references, all moving forward at their own rate. Inspiration from a Stravinsky score, as well as other modern composers.

Pacific - Rhythm of the Ocean

Annmarie was a very close friend for a period in my life where I was generally feeling sorry for myself and often not the greatest person to hang out with. Annie, as I always called her, was a very dear friend during that time. Yet, when I went on to marry and raise a family, Annie became more and more isolated herself and it seemed I couldn’t keep our old friendship as it once so wonderfully was. When she passed away, too soon, these words came to me and I remember her often with a smile, straight talk and always a helping hand. Something I should have shown greater appreciation for when I had the chance.

This is a crude recording from my iPhone complete with background noise and such, but it was the first time I played it and decided it was what should be preserved despite its warts. I over-dubbed the harmonies and harmonica.

Lyrics: Annmarie by Craig Durgy

Annmarie, oh Annmarie
Her name is like a falling autumn leaf
She made me laugh, till I could see
That loneliness is at its best
Whenever she’s not here with me
Annmarie

When I was up, when I was down
I’d call on Annie, and she’d come around
No matter what, no matter when
She’d be sure to see that you’re
Supported by your very best friend
Annmarie

The only time she ever let me down, let me down
Was when she wouldn’t help herself come round, come around

When the days, took her away
The silence fell like secrets in the rain
She held me up, I let her fall
As the world got heavier 
The only thing I said to her caused pain
Annmarie, my Annmarie

Annmarie

Lyrics:
Hey, Wildflower
It’s what you call me when I'm in the deep.
Your voice drifts to my high tower.
As I’m watching for that setting sun to keep

But if you wonder how I feel about you, 
if my love is real

Well, I’m a wildflower
Unbridled like a summer storm
And in your garden I belong 
Where the Robin sings me like song 
And I’ll be basking in your sunlight
In your gentle rain I’ll feel right
Beneath it all..   a Wildflower

Instrumental

My words fail to reflect my mind,
To tell you how I feel in side.. 

‘Cause I’m your Wildflower
Unbridled like a summer storm
But in your garden I belong 
Where the Robin sings me like a song 
And I’ll be basking in your sunlight
In your gentle rain I’ll feel right
Beneath it all..  Your Wildflower 
Beneath it all..  Your Wildflower
