The lyrics to the song of the previous post

Earth and Sky

This time it took my breath away

Little did I know what was taken?

Just got a call the previous day,

Play for us– “Cowgirls don’t Cry”

And I didn’t even know why this song why?

Was it a farmer who loved country songs?

Or something sentimental, the family wants?

Was it an accident, or a natural death?

Who was that life that now had left?

Chorus:

By angels’ breath we feel

That life is never taken

When you cross the border between earth and sky

And I gladly sing “Cowgirls don’t cry”

They filled the firehouse, the chapel was too small

Three hundred people, with children and all

I stood in  there trembling wondering why?

I had to play this song, “Cowgirls don’t Cry”

As it turned out at the memorial scene

It was for a girl that was just eighteen

She loved her horses, that’s how she got by

And she loved the song “Cowgirls don’t cry”

Chorus:

By angels’ breath we feel

That life is never taken

When you cross the border between earth and sky

And I gladly sing “Cowgirls don’t cry”

She died in her sleep, quite naturally

But I can’t understand why she went away

There were no drugs, her heart just fine

No seizures in the brain to cross that line

And I just played the song “Cowgirls don’t cry”

Chorus:

By angels’ breath we feel

That life is never taken

When you cross the border between  earth and  sky

And I gladly sing “Cowgirls don’t cry”

Bootleg scratch of "Earth & Sky" and health insurance (<--- click this title for sound) CD, with a few other songs will be avaiable, remastered of course, in late summer

It has come to my attention, that the US congress has passed a bill yesterday to catch up (a little) to the rest of the "developed" countries in this world. So, any move is fine in that direction in my book, even if it means to count little steps at a time. We don't live in the Wild West anymore and our children deserve better than that, not driving around in a stage-coach searching for gold in barren land, this is not an option anymore.
The Pilgrims are long gone, face it - those days are over!
Now we are "just" people and we have to live up to that reality and find our ways.
And then, the children will inherit the glory or the mess we create - it is up to us  how we shape or prepare the future for them. 


By the way, I finally figured out how to embed my audio sketch of this song "Earth and Sky" in a somewhat clumsy way - just click on the header of this post, and it will start playing. Next week, we (my brother and I) will record a "proper" version. I will keep you updated. Keep in mind, there are many booboos on this one, it really is just a personal exploration of a draft leading towards a  final version.
Picture: Maratha's Vineyard about three weeks ago.

The egg has hatched

Was busy writing lyrics for the previous (departed girl) event.
They are done and the melody is 99% finished. Now comes the tedious part of recording this song.

PS. On that little wonderful Apple music recording machine, you see a flickering image of Seraphine's blog. She needs a bit of moral support these days, lost her job or something (am in the same boat).  But I wouldn't mind if you say hello to her and give her some words of encouragement. Thanks!

We are waiting for spring here in the north eastern corridor, I believe it is just around the corner. The absolutely non logical manufactured time change has happened to day: Spring forward an hour. For what? It doesn't really matter what number you give the time of day, it is arbitrary anyway. You wake up with the sun, then you go away, to do whatever needs to be done.
It really burns down to the manipulation of masses, that much I have learned.
You don't "save" energy by changing the clock, where it naturally goes "tick-tock".
This is my annual rant about manipulation
a  gentle touch to describe the situation
all I know, that the sun is true
and I hope that you are following it too
