Music

Recording the radio to play the charts back
Filling C90s with your Walkman’s tracks
The New Romantics Ant Music and Rock
Oldfield Rea U2 then Britpop

The Symphony joins you you are not alone
Teaches, binds you helps you to grow
Fish, Sting and Gabriel lead my way
Hanging on every breath every word you say

A crowded field the middle of the night
Where Faithless guide us to the light
Lost in Ministry the beat leads the way
For Tonight God is a DJ

Pyramid stages where hero’s rise
Music your parents loathe and despise
Sing it loud sing it proud
Play along feel the crowd
Let the music set you free
Let the feeling in let it be

Oasis were OK but Blur ruled the day
Jarvis well he had something to say
Florence’s brilliance lets us all know her
Finally the Dogs Days are Over

Jules informed us
Simez and Garf to chill
Enigma to make love by
MJ brought his Thrill
Division inspired
As Love Tears you apart
Ferry was smooth
With Rhyming Guitars

Pyramid stages where hero’s rise
Music your parents loathe and despise
Sing it loud sing it proud
Play along feel the crowd
Let the music set you free
Let the feeling in let it be
Let the music set you free
Let the feeling in, let it be

I’ve flown a few times with Guitars… And finally found the ideal solution for me…

Yamaha SLG200…! Take it apart, wrap it in some bubble and will fit in your suitcase (a large one) and not take to much room up. Job Done… (And as a Bonus, you can sit on the Balcony in your hotel playing with your Cans on and not annoy the Neighbors…)

Writers Tears

They’re lonely nights, empty glasses
Slowly forgetting, hidden romances
They’re falling rain, hidden lines
The watching hands, of stolen time

They’re faded flowers, whispers inside
Jaded memories, of laments cried
They’re lonely days, that always appear
You pen regrets, from writers tears

Can it be, only me
Can you see, a foolish, plea

It’s better, to have loved and lost
Than never love, at all
It’s better, to feel betray
Or so I hear, them say
It’s better, to have loved and lost
Than the fear of losing, it all
It’s better, your world unfolds
Or so I’ve, been told

They’re quotes recalled, living in silence
While ghosts pass by, forever tireless
The lonely life, every year
You pen regrets, from writers tears

Can it be, only me
Can you see, a foolish, plea

It’s better, to have loved and lost
Than never love, at all
It’s better, to feel betray
Or so I hear, them say
It’s better, to have loved and lost
Than the fear of losing, it all
It’s better, your world unfolds
Or so I’ve, been told
Or so I’ve, been, told

The lonely life, every year
You pen regrets, from writers tears

Clouded Night (The Dream)

Lying awake; making shapes in the clouds,
what lies beyond; the dream that I found
And the heavens pass by; constantly changing
like the fears in my mind; always engaging

Everyone wishes; they were special,
but we’re all the same, feeling unsettled
We want to be different, free from pain
Rid of the doubt, not scared of the end

Wakeup; quaking
Sweating; and shaking
The dream; is breaking
It’s a future; awakening

And you’re lost in spaces; that you know so well
You can’t escape panic, scared overwhelmed
They come running, when they see you descend
You’re lying confused; and dazed at the end
And there’s nothing; you can do
Nothing; you can, do

And now your awake; after seeing a fate
You call to the light; beyond the clouded night
You should heed the vision; listen to the words
Is your destiny shown; the final terms

Wakeup; quaking
Sweating; and shaking
The dream; is breaking
It’s a future; awakening

And you’re lost in spaces; that you know so well
You can’t escape panic, scared overwhelmed
They come running, when they see you descend
You’re lying confused; and dazed at the end
And there’s nothing; you can do
Nothing; you can, do
And there’s nothing; you can do
Nothing; you can, do

You call; to the light
Beyond; the clouded night

Persevere… Raising the neck has it’s benefits… Less strenuous… 🙂

The Highways Bride

Can you see her,
The Wicked Lady, shadows torments me
On No-man’s-land, pistol in hand
She shoots down the driver, for riches denied her
Can you see her, can you see her

Can you hear her,
The Lady Katherine, shadows gathering
From out of hiding, couple surprising
Shoot her; she fled, riding she bled
Can you hear her, can you hear her

They found her horse, amidst the grounds
Covered in blood, laboring unbound
They found her body, in Markyate cell
The highways bride, haunting farewell
The highways bride, The highways bride, cast into hell

Can you feel her,
Never forgotten, shadow on the common
On No-man’s-land, pistol in hand
Revenants intention, seeks redemption
Can you feel her, can you feel her

They found her horse, amidst the grounds
Covered in blood, laboring unbound
They found her body, in Markyate cell
The highways bride, haunting farewell
The highways bride, The highways bride, cast into hell

Can you reveal her,
The highways bride, torment foretells
Can you feel her, can you feel her
The highways brides, haunting farewell

Perfect Compromise

You don’t have to try and convince me
I know that you’re not perfect
You don’t have to hide your thoughts away
I know that your worth it
You don’t have to supress how you feel
I’ll listen to your pain
I can validate all your emotions
And I’ll love you still the same

You don’t have to try and impress me
‘Cus you already exceed
You don’t have to be someone you’re not
‘Cus you’re all that I need
You don’t have to be on your guard
I’m not playing any games
I take you with any scars
And I’ll love you still the same

When what you think what you say
and what you feel are all in harmony

Loves an understanding
A trade off we improvise
It’s taking each other the way we are
To respect and empathize
A perfect compromise

I believe I’m not always right
And I don’t have all the answers
I believe we’ll have to talk things out
Find our course and take our chances
I believe I’ll need to open up more
Trust you and try an explain
And I hope when you understand me
You’ll love me all the same

When what you think what you say
and what you feel are all in harmony

Loves an understanding
A trade off we improvise
It’s taking each other the way we are
To respect and empathize
A perfect compromise
A perfect compromise
A perfect compromise

Thank you so much for listening Loraine…

Needs to be under your fretting hand Bryan…

So unless you’re a South-Paw that’s your left leg, for a Classical kinda stance…
