B i o g r a p h y
 (by Alex Henderson)

Youn Sun Nah is well regarded for her remarkable vocal prowess. The Korean jazz vocalist's ability to present each song in her own unique style filled full of emotions and passion has consistently captured her audience in attentive silence, ending with roaring appreciation. The songstress traverse the vocal spectrum effortlessly to the extent where she's not just another vocalist, she's a musical instrument. French newspaper, Le Monde described her as "a UFO touching the universe of jazz with a magnificent voice and passionate originality; Jubilation in triple time". Growing up in a musical family where her father was a conductor and her mother, a musical actress, music has always been in her life. Nah eventually began her own musical journey and made her first debut at the tender age of 23 at a joint concert collaborating with the Korean Symphony Orchestra. The performance was her stepping-stone into the Korean music scene. Though Nah was making waves in the Korean music scene, she decided to move to Paris in 1995 to study jazz and chanson. Striving for only the best, she enrolled herself into the CIM Jazz School, one of the oldest jazz schools in Europe. She also studied at the National Music Institute of Beauvais as well as the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Conservatory. Nah's innate talent for jazz began to shine brighter when she started performing extensively in the French jazz scene with her group YSN 5tet at jazz clubs, national theatres and festivals. News of this Korean marvel reached many famous musicians who were excited to collaborate with her.

Nah also made a strong showing in a number of jazz concours such as La Défense, St. Maur, Montmartre and the renowned Jazz à Juan Révélations. Her 2009 album ‘Voyage' made it into the French top ten of the jazz charts and won the coveted "CHOC" as CD of the month (Jazzman). One of her paramount recognitions comes from the French government where she was conferred the title Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in recognition of her contributions to the arts in 2009. While Nah's career in Europe took flight, home was taking notice of her accomplishments abroad. The Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism presented her with the Young Artist of the Year award in 2005. Her 2009 album, ‘Voyage' received the Best Jazz & Crossover Record of the Year at the 6th Korean Music Awards. Many venues and festivals across the globe also recognize Nah's talents. She has been invited to perform at numerous events such as Jazz at Lincoln Center (New York), International Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Montreal Jazz Festival (Canada), TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival (Canada), Parc Floral de Paris (France), Marciac Jazz Festival (France), Mai Jazz Festival (Norway), Cully Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Java Jazz Festival (Indonesia), Penang Island Jazz Festival (Malaysia) and Jarasum International Jazz Festival (South Korea), among many others. The impressive travel is further reinforced by a world tour with Ulf Wakenius that visited 50 cities in 19 countries as well as participating in Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion's Jazz Today tour, one of Germany's most famous music agency's concert series.

Nah's current project sees her collaborating with Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius. The stripped down format provides ample of space for the two talented musicians to improvise and explore the many facets of jazz. The vocal prowess of Youn Sun Nah and Ulf Wakenius' prolific guitar skills complement each other amazingly well. Their unique musical chemistry allows them to traverse different musical aspects, creating very interesting musical dialogues. To date, the duo has released two albums under top German jazz label ACT, Voyage (2009) and Same Girl (2010). The latest album ‘Same Girl' embraces 11 fascinating songs interpretations such as ‘My Favorite Things' to ‘La Chanson d'Hélène' and ‘Enter Sandman' as well as original compositions ‘Uncertain Weather' and ‘Breakfast In Baghdad'. The diversity of the album showcases her distinctive voice building the framework for her multi-faceted musical taste. Michel Contat from French Media Company Telerama exclaims, "Delicious is the word that comes to mind when you listen to Youn Sun Nah. But the young Korean is also moving, radiant, sometimes funny, always sensual, a spicy creature of the night. Her voice is ideally in tune, with trills in the upper register that cleave you to the core." Her collaboration with Ulf Wakenius at this point of Nah's musical journey presents a unique performance filled to the brim with emotions and impressive musical talent; one that many have experienced and yearn for more. "We often imagine that jazz can only come from the US or from Europe, and in that case, mainly from France. Well, you can throw out all those received ideas: the greatest jazz singer of today is Korean. Her name is Youn Sun NAH. Those fortunate enough to have seen her on stage know to what dizzying heights she can lead them," proclaims Renaud Czarnes of Les Echos (France).

The Moon's A Harsh Mistress

( Jimmy Webb )

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as she's warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
Oh good Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

Once the sun did shine
Oh good Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

Rainy Day

( Jeandidier, Bouchety-kim Kwang Min)

L'amère nostalgie du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Seule dans la brume, penchée sur l'écume
J'attends le reflet de mon image
Soudain ton visage

L'amère solitude du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Tes yeux me sourient, la mer s'adoucit
Le ciel s'éclaircit dans l'arc en ciel
Tu es là

L'amère nostalgie du rivage, de ce rivage
Ciel orageux, soleil silencieux se perd doucement
Seule dans la brume, penchée sur l'écume
J'attends le reflet de mon image
Soudain ton visage
Tes yeux me sourient, la mer s'adoucit
Le ciel s'éclaircit dans l'arc en ciel
Tu es là qui me sert dans tes bras
Tu es là qui me sert dans tes bras

The Jody Grind

( Horace Silver )

If you are a sailor
A soldier or marine
Well Jody's got your woman
When you're not on the scene

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's teatin' her good tonight

All you other fellas
Just treat your woman right
'Cause Jody's steady hittin'
When you're out of sight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight

If you are a sailor
A soldier or marine
Well Jody's got your woman
When you're not on the scene

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's teatin' her good tonight

All you other fellas
Just treat your woman right
'Cause Jody's steady hittin'
When you're out of sight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight
Jody's treatin' her good tonight

No need to worry
And to get all uptight
Jody

Ballad for friends

( Han Kyung Hye - Frederique Silvestre)

난 만날것 같아 세상 어디에선가
오랜만이라며 반갑게 너를..
난 믿겨지지 않아 마지막 너의 모습
난 보지 못했으니 너 떠난적 내겐 없는거야
함께 숨쉬던 하늘 어제처럼 높아
어떤 슬픔없이 달라진게 없잖아

이 꿈에서 깨면 다시 돌아 올거야
짧은 이별뒤에 내가 너무 그리웠다고


The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

( Buddy Bernier / Jerry Brainin )

Don't whisper words to me
You don't mean for words deep down inside can be seen by the night
The night has a thousand eyes
And it knows a truthful heart from one that lies

Through romance may have called
In the past my love for you will be everlasting and bright
As bright as the starlit skies
And this wondrous night that has a thousand eyes

I've lived my life walking through a dream for
I knew someday I'd find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

Don't whisper words to me
You don't mean for words deep down inside can be seen by the night
The night has a thousand eyes
And it knows a truthful heart from one that lies

Through romance may have called
In the past my love for you will be everlasting and bright
As bright as the starlit skies
And this wondrous night that has a thousand eyes

I've lived my life walking through a dream for
I knew someday I'd find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

Your Face

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust
I lost my way, nobody here
This howling breeze, fast falling night
No moon above me, misplaced in the dark
I lost my way, nobody here

I'm calling you desperately
There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you
I see your face in starless skies
Your bright eyes guide me
Trying to touch your sleeve
I let it slip through my fingers

Grey colored rain faded rainbows
No sun above me, hidden by the dust
I lost my way, nobody here
This howling breeze, fast falling night
No moon above me, misplaced in the dark
I lost my way, nobody here

I'm calling you desperately
There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you
I see your face in starless skies
Your bright eyes guide me
Trying to touch your sleeve
I let it slip through my fingers

Blueside

Sometimes I get nervous around you
Do you know the reason
Why, why, why
I'm sick of you talking your head off
When will you stop it
Now, now, now
Be yourself and look around
Where is your reality

Sometimes I get nervous around you
Do you know the reason
Why, why, why
I'm sick of you talking your head off
When will you stop it
Now, now, now
Be yourself and look around
Where is your reality

Hard To Say Goodbye

( Anders Edenroth / Toots Thielemans )

It's always hard to say goodbye
Leaving the ones you love behind
I don't know where or when we'll meet again
Let us hope that fate will be kind

It's always hard to say goodbye
Although you know you'd soon return
It's getting harder than with every year
I don't think I ever will learn

Say goodbye my love
It's always hard to say
Say goodbye my love
I hope one day I'd stay

It's always hard to say goodbye
I know my heart and so says why
There is no other word I've said or heard
That I find so hard as goodbye

It's always hard to say goodbye

Time After Time

( Sammy Cahn / Jule Styne )

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through

I only know what I know
What I know
The passing years will show
You're kept my love so young so new

So time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be loving you

Happy Hour

( Frank Woeste )

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds voices all around

Look, children over there playing all day
Playing in the sun
Laughing, dancing, joking, having fun
People smiling, traveling in my way
As I sing my song

I still recall hearing the music in the air
How could I dare to think of troubles far away from here
I sing along my melody of this old town
I want to sing this melody for you

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds voices all around

Look, children over there playing all day
Playing in the sun
Laughing, dancing, joking, having fun
People smiling, traveling in my way
As I sing my song

I still recall hearing the music in the air
How could I dare to think of troubles far away from here
I sing along my melody of this old town
I want to sing this melody for you

Now long time ago I remember
Long time ago used to walk the streets of this old town
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds, voices all around
Many memories passing my mind
Sounds, voices all around

Reflet

Fly with my tears and fly with my fears
My birds, whenever I feel too low
You spread and take wing to this lonely island here, birds
You returned, your voices returned

You say
"Throw away your pains and woes
And lift up your eyes to us
Then just spread your arms"

Hopes can bring a miracle
And my prayer is real
Oh my heart goes pit-a-pat
Slowly I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Hopes can bring a miracle
And my prayer is real
Oh my heart goes pit-a-pat
Slowly I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Chowoo

( Park Choon Suk )

초 우

가슴속에 스며드는 고독에 몸부림칠때
갈길없는 나그네의 꿈은 사라져 비에 젖어우네
너무나 사랑했기에 너무나 사랑했기에
마음의 상처 잊을길없어 빗소리도 흐느끼네

너무나 사랑했기에 너무나 사랑했기에
마음의 상처 잊을길 없어 빗소리도 흐느끼네

Light For The People

One Way

다가서다 그저 다가서다 힘겹게 걸음을 돌리네
바라보다 그저 바라보다 어렵게 고개를 돌리네
바라지 않아도 기대하진 않아도
기억할까하는 부질하는 생각
난오늘도 다시 돌고 여기에

Besame Mucho

( Consuelo Velázquez )

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez

Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho

Sometimes I'm Happy

(V. Youmans, I. Caesar)

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you

I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

That's how I am
So what can I do
I'm happy when I'm with you

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you

I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

That's how I am
So what can I do
I'm happy when I'm with you

Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you

Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm happy

There's nowhere to go, no one takes my hand
Say here I am, I'm here for you

Down By Love

A Medida Da Paixao

( Dudu Falcao - Lenine )

E como se a gente nao soubesse
Pra que lado foi vida
Por que tanta solidao
E nao e a dor que me entristece
E nao ter uma saida
Nem medida na paxao

Foi, o amor se foi perdido
Foi tao distraido
Que nem me avisou
Foi, o amor se foi calado
Tao desesperado
Que me machucou

E como se a gente pressentisse
Tudo que o amor nao disse
Diz agora essa aflicao
E ficou o cheiro pelo ar
Ficou o medo de ficar
Vazio demais meu corcao

Foi, o amor se foi perdido
Foi tao distraido
Que nem me avisou
Foi, o amor se foi calado
Tao desesperado
Que me machucou

Into Dust

( Mazzy star )

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today

Around broken in two
'Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

Turning into dust
Turning into dust
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Turning into dust

Consider Me Gone

( Sumner Gorden )

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we shared
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there

There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf-loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

Roses have thorns and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

I've spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

After today, after today
Consider me gone

You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that

Old Friends

( Simon And Garfunkel )

Old friends, old friends
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends
Winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

Camille's Song

Why did I wander
Alone as a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can say
The only reason was to find you
Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Why did I wander
Around like a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
If I'd known
You were nowhere else but just near by me
Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Why did I wander
Alone as a lonely cloud
I don't know why
I don't know why
I can say the only reason was to find you

Happiness seems far
But sometimes it is at your doorstep

Down by Love

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way
I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence
You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away
I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into
Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way
I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

아름다운 사람

어두운 비 내려오면
처마 밑에 한 아이 울고 서 있네
그 맑은 두 눈에 빗물 고이면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라

세찬 바람 불어오면
들판에 한 아이 달려오네
그 더운 가슴에 바람 안으면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라

새 하얀 눈 내려오면
산 위에 한 아이 우뚝 서 있네
그 고운 마음에 노래 울리면
음.. 아름다운 그이는 사람이어라
그이는 아름다운 사람이어라


Manic Depression

( Jimi Hendrix )

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, kiss, kiss
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Oblivion

( Astor Piazzolla )

Lourds, soudain semblent lourds
Les draps de velours de ton lit
quand j'oublie jusqu'a nortre amour

Lourds, soudain semblent lourds
Tes bras qui m'entourent déjà dans la nuit
Mon bateau part, s'en va quelque part
Les gens se séparent, j'oublie, j'oublie

Tard, autre part dans un bar d'acajou
Des violons nous rejouent
Notre melodie, mais j'oublie

Tard on se sépare dans un joue contre joue
Tout devient flou
Et j'oublie, j'oublie

Court, le temps semble court
Le compte a rebours d'une nuit
Quand j'oublie jusqu'à notre amour

Court, le temps semble court
Tes doigts qui parcourent ma ligne de vie
Sans un regard, des hommes on s'égare
Sur un quai de gare j'oublie, j'oublie

No Me Llores Más

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Papi, no me llores lagrimitas
Que me siento una cosita
Que me acaba con el alma

Tata, tú me pones una carita
Que me siento desvalido
Que me perturba la calma

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

No quiero que me llores
Que me digas
"mamacita de mi alma eres mi vida"

Sabes que ese disco está rayado
Ya de oírlo tengo canas
Todo es mentira

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Siempre me está haciendo cuentecitos
Y llorando lagrimitas
Ya me tiene confundido

No pienses que yo trago, mi negrita
Ese cuento no me manga
Ni me turba los sentidos

No me llores, no me llores más
No me llores, no me llores más

Don't cry now
Don't cry anymore...

Painted from Memory

( Burt Bacharach/ Elvis Costello )

Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance
Doesn't it look like he could speak
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
He smiles for someone else

Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But he's not easily painted from memory

You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
He smiles for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

He is gone, and I must accept it
He is lost to me now
But I can't look away just yet though
He smiles for someone else

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

So I Am

Down by Love

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence

You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away

I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into

Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

I live my life
I love my heart
I keep going on my way

I'm flying high
I'm falling down
My will can change at all

You're like a mirage
You're like a dream
I hardly ever can feel your existence

You're like a rainbow
You're like a chance
You don't stand where I waited for you

I'll let you go
Don't ask me why
I simply want a run away

I let you go
Don't ask me how
My sorrow will be passed

Life's like a journey
Life's like a dream
You can't imagine who you will run into

Love's like a gambling
Love is like a life
You can't know how it's ending will be

Memory Lane

Eternal Love

I knew from the beginning
I knew right from the start
Only someone very special
Like you, could ever win, my heart

I never stopped to wonder
If we were meant to be
As two hearts that beat together
A part of you was part, of me

In this crazy day and age
Seems that miracles come true
Just imagine by some twist of fate,
Somehow, someway, that I found you

For every day I'm with you,
I love you more and more.
There has never been another
Who's made me feel like this, before

In this crazy day and age
Seems that miracles come true
Just imagine by some twist of fate
Somehow, someway, that I met you

I love you, means forever
In everything I do
'Cause my heart is so completely
Eternally in love, with you

Paper Tiger

Baby you're hard core lazy all the way
Get off your back side make my day today
Turn off the TV hear me in real time
Listen when I say

Shake out the cobwebs crowding up your mind
Show me that you ain't no paper tiger
Get on the job now some money would be fine
Hey easy rider

Bragging - bragging showing off - showing off
Full of air - full of air bluffing - bluffing
Dizzy - dizzy out of sync - out of sync
Scatterbrained - scatterbrained lazy - lazy

Castles in the air everything you build
Crumbles in my hand empty words

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Law of the jungle the strongest will survive
I'm only asking for you to act alive
You talk about fire but you're too scared to burn
Come on my paper tiger

Bragging - bragging showing off - showing off
Full of air - full of air bluffing - bluffing
Dizzy - dizzy out of sync - out of sync
Scatterbrained - scatterbrained lazy - lazy

Talk is cheap right now I don't buy your lies
With your better side out of sight

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Wake up come on and tell me is this all I get
I am so fed-up trying hard to make you fit
Into a world that you so easily forget
Hey there now tiger show me your stripes

Memory Lane

All of the things I remember
Are lovely and bittersweet
Shining in faces each December
No new year meets

Sentimental reminiscing
Those stories that I have lived
Some are still vivid others missing
Never to be re-lived

There are a few things that I remember
And wish that I could just forget
Other moments that I'll always treasure
Indelible stories my life wrote
Both for good and bad

Step back in time in your mind
Find a name walk down memory lane

There are a few things that I've forgotten
And wish now I could just recall
Precious seconds lost time can not measure
Incredible stories to be told both happy and sad

Step back in time in your mind
Find someone you loved in life
Take a walk down along memory lane

Anak

When you were born into this world
Your Mom and Dad saw a dream fulfilled
A dream come true, the answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
You gave them joy every time you smiled
Each time you cry, they're at your side again

Child you don't know, you'll never know
How far they'd go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they'd die for you
If they must to see you live

Many seasons came and went
So many seasons have now been spent
For time went fast and now at last you're strong
Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
You speak out your mind, why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know, you'll never know
How far they'd go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they'd die for you
If they must to see you live

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
Your so alone no friends are on your side
And Child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Why must you go, your arms stay open wide

Child you don't know, you'll never know
How far they'd go to give you all their life can give
To see you through and that is true, they'd die for you
If they must to see you live

Little Fish-big World

This world
Makes me feel small
A little fish
In an ocean of life
I'm floating up in a bubble
Falling down into trouble
In the dark
Scared of sharks
While my dreams go on swimming
Out to where stars are dimming
And the tide meets midnight

So small
I disappear
Oh I can barely breathe in here
Afraid of waves I make ripples
Always turning in circles
Dizzy me
Easily
I forget all the treasure
In this heart without measure
Little girl, a big world

Cloud Nine

Like a feather I fly
Finding heaven above
Right here in your embrace warm
When you hold me love

Never let go of me
Cling to all we can be
We won't come back to earth again
For everything is divine on cloud nine

Stars glow the moon beams
The milky way under our feet
We are walking the skyline
Can you hear how heaven sings
And my heart beats

Don't ever look down again
Hold on to my love
And we'll sail away on a cloud
See the sky is an ocean
Take my hand now
And hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining
You're blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger
And wear me, in a saturnine ring
Make me hear heaven sing
Up on cloud nine

Don't ever look down again
Hold on to my love
And we'll sail away on a cloud
See the sky is an ocean
Take my hand now and hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining you're blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger and wear me,
In a saturnine ring make me hear heaven sing

Take my hand now and hold on forever
Never letting me go, no together
We will shine like a diamond alight at midnight
Keep on shining you're blinding and brilliant
Wrap me around your finger and wear me,
In a saturnine ring make me hear heaven sing
Up on cloud nine

City Rhythms

Neon lights
Fill the night
What a sight, to see
People meet
They feel the beat
Moving to the rhythm of the street

In the air,
it's everywhere
love is there, for you
In the heat
The music's sweet
Swinging to the rhythm of the street

Each avenue
Is calling you
Singing to, your soul
Let the night
Hold you tight
Wrap you in the rhythm of the street
Feel the rhythm dancing at your feet
Feel the city rhythm - soft and sweet

Han River

River of life
Here by my side
Please tell me the stories
Time hides

Keep rolling by me
And carry these thoughts
Won't you leave me like a child
New inside

All of our memories
And every dream lost
With the currents of hope that won't sink
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins

Sweet lullaby
A baby cries
Come mother and hold me
So tight

Lanterns are burning
From boats at midnight
Lovers sailing on the waves
Of moonlight

Everything changing
So little remains
All my days disappear into years
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins

We're all together
Just one human race
And the beauty and pain of this world
Runs in Han River
Runs in Han River
Just like the blood in our veins
Run in Han River
Run in Han River
And carry away all our pain

Heart Of Glass

Your ship sailed out at dawn
And the sun wouldn't rise
A sky filled with stars
Fell like tears from my eyes
I reached out to touch
The horizon of day
But all disappeared
When night took you away

I can't let go of losing you
Broken in two this heart of glass
What will I do can someone mend
This broken heart of glass

Now the shore of my life
Has been scattered with stones
So heavy to live when you're left all alone
The birds fly on by winging for other skies
My soul frozen fast
Hears their echoing cries

I can't let go of losing you
Broken in two this heart of glass
What will I do can someone mend
This broken heart of glass

When the sun goes down red
And the night will not end
From the depths of my bed
I feel earth closing in
How long can this last
Spring continues to grieve
Even when seasons pass
Thoughts of you never leave

Cinderella Me

Cool in a state of bliss
Doing more than just maintaining not
Dying for your kiss
I've got a new lease on life
Everything's alright
The best thing you ever did
Was to leave me here
Now I'm over losing you
I've found myself again
Cinderella me in my own fantasy
Starring role you see

No I don't need a prince
Making me feel like a pretty fool
I've got my sixth sense
Days won't ever go to waste
If I spend them well
Being the one I am
I'm not pleasing you
Separation celebration
I'm writing a fairytale
Cinderella me in my own fantasy

No I don't need a prince
Making me feel like a pretty fool
I've got my sixth sense
Days won't ever go to waste
If I spend them well
Being the one I am
I'm not pleasing you
Separation celebration
I'm writing a fairy tale
Cinderella me in my own fantasy

The Waves

I'm frozen, timeless, dizzy
Outside of my zone
Down to the bone
A dreamer walking slowly
Solitary lonely
Island my home
I feel like a castaway

I write on sandy beaches poetry tides
Will erase in time
An empty canvas the shore
I paint to find reason in my rhymes
I feel like a castaway

I would like to draw a dream
Have it carried by the sea
To someone who has been waiting
For a century

Sketching all eternity with my fingers
In the sand but the waves wash all my plans away
And nothing will ever stay

I feel like a castaway
I feel like a castaway
Ship wreaked imagination
The waves are breaking my design
Marooned deep sea emotion
The waves are breaking my design
In island isolation
The waves are breaking my design
Life's secret designation
The waves are breaking my design

Ship wreaked imagination
The waves are breaking my design
Marooned deep sea emotion
The waves are breaking my design

Tears Of Ice

Like a rose under the snow
I have buried love
And this winter in my soul
Leaves me crystalline
Even when I drink the wine
Of sweet memory
I can hear a wind sing
There will be no spring

Shadows on the edge of night
Wander through my mind
While the dawn becomes a scar
Cut a cross the sky
And a sea of color glows
Carmine, coral, rose
Burgundy and bitter
Just like your last kiss

I would leave but tell me where can I go
All I need is buried deep under snow
And the spring won't come
I can't find the sun on high
I cry for a bird that's frozen in flight
Cry for a heart that just won't melt
Tears of ice

I would leave but tell me where can I go
All I need is buried deep under snow
And the spring won't come
I can't find the sun on high
I cry for a bird that's frozen in flight
Cry for a heart that just won't melt
Tears of ice

Tangerine Dream

I like the taste of you and burgundy
Just lace my day with your touch
Let me drink you in
My favourite kick I get while savouring your lips
Heavenly I want to wrap you all around me

Chill, why make a scene to let off steam
I don't need drama give me
Peaches in my cream
We're not immortal no just human you and me
Yea two people trying hard to make life easy

Turn down low the glare of midday
Pull the blinds and walk my way
Make me remember
What being us is all about
Fall into me now, fall

Tangerine dream
You're supreme
Like angel cake
I keep wanting more and more
Can't get enough of you
Come on and feed this hungry heart

Why don't we let the traffic stream away
Until the cities empty
Only us two stay
Wrapped up in a cocoon and spinning our own silk
Woven in a love that we are always making

Let the sun ride low in the sky
Any doubt in your mind die
Lay out the table
The feast of lovers can begin
Fall into me now, fall

Caramel cream
Toffee dream
Butter pecan
I just want to feast my eyes
On the glow of your skin
Velvet apricot delight

Tangerine dream
You're supreme
Like angel cake
I keep wanting more and more
Can't get enough of you
Come on and feed this hungry heart

Tangerine dream
You're supreme

Voyage

Dancing With You

As we dance, I'm in heaven
Our hands upon new land
Every step, my heart flies up high
And every, every glance, blooming rose

Without a word, I start humming
A little song just for you
As we dance, lost in each other
Our hearts come slowly as one

My lips, they begin to sing low
And your breath plays an endless rhythm
You and I sound like a real duet
Suddenly you hold me tight

The Linden

And I wake up in the sunrise with sand in my hair
And there is your voice that echoes still in my head
Though I recall the things you promised I can not believe
That you are standing 'neath the linden once again

And I'm walking down the sight, walking rush hours flow
And in the windows your reflection linger still
You might return one lovely morning, but will you be changed
When you are standing 'neath the linden once again
Since time is a thief, I'm out in my reckoning
Though I'm saving every second they're slowly turning into sand
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
And I wake up in the sunrise with sand in my hair
And there is your voice that echoes still in my head
Though I recall the things you promised I can not believe
That you are standing 'neath the linden once again

And I'm walking down the sidewalk in rush hours flow
And in the windows your reflection linger still
You might return one lovely morning, but will you be changed
When you are standing 'neath the linden once again
Since time is a thief, I'm out in my reckoning
Though I'm saving every second they're slowly turning into sand

Calypso Blues

( Don George, Nathaniel Cole )

Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got the money
To take me back to Trinidad

Fine calypso woman
She cook me shrimp and rice
Fine calypso woman
She cook me shrimp and rice
These yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice

In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, one female goat
And plenty fish to fill the boat

One bushel bread, one barrel wine
And all the town, she come to dine
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye

Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet she hurt from shoes
Me pocket full of empty
I got Calypso blues

These yankee girls give me big scare
Is black the root, is blonde the hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And pads are where the girl she ain't

She jitterbug when she should waltz
I even think her name is false
But calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what she got
Is what you see, is what she got
Is what you see, is what she got

Sittin' by the ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by the ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got the money
To take me back to Trinidad

My Bye

I don't know how we came
And I don't know what it passed
You left me bleeding on the ground
Deep inside my heart
Love grew and then died
You left me with the eyes that cried

I will berry all the memories
Who I am standing
I'll be my ???
No one can ever harm me

Jockey Full Of Bourbon

( Tom Waits )

Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
And I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
And through the bars of a Cuban jail

Bloody fingers on a purple knife
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Admire the view from up on top of the mast

Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone

I said hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride
"To the carnival" is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside

Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone...

Voyage

Carried through time
I'm here with you
Can't turn true the inside fallen
A lie what it was
Just who hold you close to me

Touch or follow would show me the way
Off we landed, where we just wanted
A lie what it pass
Just who hold you close to me

Sometimes we're trapped in a heart's truth
Sometimes we're lost without
Oh how I hope voyage goes on
Caught love on earth ever lost
And I
What a sound Wind carry on soon at all
A lie what is you
And your love will live in me

Please don't be sad

Please don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Oh please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Please, don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know life goes round and round

Please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never die

Just tell yourself
You can succeed in anything
Oh, tell yourself
You're good enough to do everything

Please don't be sad
I know it's hard
And yes I know love will never never die

Please, don't be vexed
I know it's hard
And yes I know life goes round and round...

Shenandoah

( American Folk Song )

Oh shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rollin' river
Oh shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rollin' river
I'll take her cross your rolling water
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Tis seven year I've been a rover
Away, you rollin' river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Come, Come

One of this chance's in my dusky room
You'll be asked to sleep beside me
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

One of this morning's in my sunny room
All the way to your lovely kiss
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

One of this evening's in my darkening room
You'll sing for me a lullaby
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

You're cheering paradise,
Make my heart sing and take wing
Never knew how sweet life could be

One of this day's in a quiet room
Come, come, come, come, come my heart

You and only you can make me feel alive
??? light fill my heart ???

Love is all around
Love is all around
Love is all around, all around

Inner Voyage

Isn't it funny
How it all went wrong
Help me please, my Lord
Lift me up from down

Oh, grab me from the dead
Let me see the sun
That's all I need, my Lord

Please come
Please take me away
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel safe

A wondering star falls into nowhere
Unending echoes haunt me everywhere
Oh, Lord, help me out of this chaos

Please, hold your hand on me
Let me, just breathe in and rid of doubt
Out of abysse, oh lord, lift me up on high

India song

( Carlos D'Alession / Marguerite Duras )

Chanson
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dis tout

Ô, toi,
Que nous dansions ensemble
Toi qui me parlais d'elle
D'elle qui te chantait

Toi qui me parlais d'elle
De son nom oublié
De son corps, de mon corps
De cet amour là
De cet amour mort

Chanson
De ma terre lointaine
Toi qui parleras d'elle
Maintenant disparue

Toi qui me parles d'elle
De son corps effacé
De ses nuits, de nos nuits
De ce désir là
De ce désir mort

Chanson
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dis tout
Et toi qui me dis tout

Same Girl

My Favorite Things

( Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II )

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

My Name Is Carnival

( Jackson C. Frank )

I've seen your face
In every place that I'll be going
I read your words
Like black hungry birds read every song

Rise and fall
Spin and call
And my name
Is carnival

Sad music in the night
Sings a scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear and disappear
In the forest
Short and tall throw the ball
And my name is carnival

Strings of yellow tears
Drip from black wire fears in the meadow
And their white halos spin
With an anger that is thin and turns to sorrow

King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival

Here there is no law
But the arcade's penny claw
Hanging empty
The painted laughing smile
And the turning of the style
Do not envy

And the small
Can steal the ball
To touch the face
Of carnival

The fat woman frowns
At screaming frightened clowns
That move enchanted
And a shadow lie and waits
Outside your iron gates
With one wish granted

Colours fall
Throw the ball
Play the game
Of carnival

Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize
The danger
The world that comes apart
Has no single heart
When life is stranger

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Uncertain Weather

Uncertain weather comes
The cold wind blows
Sudden hail storm on falls
All the stars fade away
Heavy clouds were away
From spring through to winter
Why can't I trust that tomorrow's
Gonna bring the sunshine
Do I have to buried myself
Bright yellow sun

My fickle doggy barks
I heard a bird truly cries
And the tears blur my eyes
I miss your any kiss shadows
Dancing in the sunlight

Song Of No Regrets

( Sérgio Mendes )

To be alone again
Without you, without you
When will this time pass
Maybe I should talk
Perhaps I should not
But it's gone
What is gone
Who can say

Like leaves that drift away
So softly, they tell me
I'll walk without you
Your name inside me
No wind will hide me
Like a song
No regrets
When it's done

Like leaves that drift away
So softly, they tell me
I'll walk without you
Your name inside me
No wind will hide me
Like a song
No regrets
When it's done

강원도 아리랑

아~~~아~~
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
아주가리 동백아 열지마라
누구를 괴자고 머리에 기름
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
산중의 귀물은 머루다래
인간의 귀물은 나 하나라
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다
흙물의 연꽃은 곱기만하다
세상이 흐려도 나살탓이지
아리아리 쓰리쓰리 아라리요
아리아리 고개로 넘어간다

Enter Sandman

( Metallica )

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand

Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land

Same Girl

( Randy Newman )

You're still the same girl
You always were
You're still the same girl
You always were

A few more nights on the street that's all
A few more holes in your arm
A few more years with me

You're still the same girl

With the same sweet smile that you always had
And the same blue eyes like the sun
And the same clear voice that I always

You're still the same girl
That I love

Moondog

He's a beggar on a street corner
To most passers by that's all he is
Playing a black pawnbroker
Moon dog is

But to me he's something special
As he sits alone a-playing his drum
If I play he's right here with me
Moon dog is

All you people who did see him
Won't you tell me what I misseed
By never seeing this son of rhythm
'Cause that's what Moon Dog is

Pancake, ice-cream

And cucumber, cucumber

I've got five bucks
I've got ten minutes
Need some nice food
But, quick and fast I don't that

La Chanson D'Hélène

( Jean-Loup Dabadie )

Ce soir nous sommes septembre
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre
Le soleil n'y entrera plus
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace
Dans le ciel

Roland Brival :
Je t'aimais tant Hélène
Il faut se quitter
Les avions partiront sans nous
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène

Avant dans la maison
J'aimais quand nous vivions
Comme un dessin d'enfant
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Je regarde le soir
Tomber dans les miroirs
C'est ma vie

Roland Brival :
C'est mieux ainsi Hélène
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène

L'histoire n'est plus à suivre
Et j'ai fermé le livre
Le soleil n'y entrera plus
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Lento

Lento

Sun scatters light through the grass
Lotus blows, as I pass
Leaves rustle gently
And trees give me shade, as I pass

How sweet is nature's embrace
All my woes fade away
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I'm slowing down in my mind
Rest my soul in your arms

Moon sheds her white soothing grace
Fireflies glow as I pass
Sweet fragrant air blows my hair
Dewdrops fall, as I pass

How sweet is nature's embrace
All my woes fade away

I set my burden down here
To you, let me draw near

Lament

I'm not ready to play
I'm not ready to fight
I'm not ready to be the prey of this one-sided game

I'm not ready to climb
I'm not ready to reach there
I'm not ready to see you're not the higher hill appear

I'm not ready to scowl
I'm not ready to smile
I'm not ready to speak out from the bottom of my heart

I'm not ready to stay
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready to let my thoughts eclipse upon your soul
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Lament for cupid
Compass not active
Dull night is trembling again
Memories are sinking down

Lament for cupid
Compass not active
Dull night is trembling again
Memories are sinking

I'm not ready to smile
I'm not ready to speak out from the bottom of my heart

I'm not ready to stay
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready to let my thoughts eclipse upon your soul

I'm not ready to fly
I'm not ready to give up
I'm not ready to escape and leave no traces behind you

Hurt

( Trent Reznor )

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stain of time
The feelings disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Empty dream

Bells ring over the early morning sadly
I slowly wake up from a distant dream
Time to turn off the light of love close in
Tried to open my lips but in vain, in vain
No words, no thoughts and no emotions at all
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I thought you were my split-apart, forever
Not knowing hearts can be broken in two
So many vows, many promises they're all gone
Like an empty dream and like a fete of mayflies

My life's too short
And my days are running
As fast as you loved me
Left me

Soundless bye

I've been rolling
I've been rolling
Your backward glance around in my head

Was it glacial
Was it as usual
I know why you avoided my eyes
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I won't cry
I keep back my tears
Even though your signs were clear
I won't blame you, dear

I've been hoping
I've been hoping
But I can feel the moment is near

I'll be true
I'll be ever true
Even though you let go
And say goodbye

I've been hurting
I've been hurting
But my tongue won't say anything

I've been hurting
I've been hurting
But my tongue won't say anything

Full Circle

I would say "Providence"
You might say "Coincidence"
I would say "Good enough"
You might say "Could be better"
Some might say "C'est la vie"

I say "It's vivid"
And you say "It's upside-down"
I say "It's infinite"
But you say "It's grand chaos"
Some might say "Carpe Diem"
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Sometimes you feel as if it's
Hard to breathe but you know
Air's everywhere
Sometimes you try to find the exit in this world
But suddenly realize the door's wide open

The wheel of days and nights
The wheel of belief and doubt
Bumper-to-bumper Whys
After many twists and turns

The wheel has come to a full circle
The wheel of life turns full circle
The wheel of love turns full circle
The wheel of time never stops

Ghost Riders In The Sky

( Stan Jones )

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cries
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Yippie i oh
Yippie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught them yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippie i oh oh oh
Yippie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

Waiting

Quiet almost quiet
Like a summer rain at dawn
Silent ever silent
Are we waiting for the storm

Through the dark night
Did our hearts fight
In the battlefield of lost love
Waiting, still we're waiting
For each other to give in
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Quiet almost soundless
Like a thousand words unsaid
Searching never finding
But a winding road ahead

We are travelers in a wasteland
Carrying heavy bags of broken vows
Waiting, anticipating
Both of us to come back home
Both of us to come back home
Both of us to come back home

New Dawn

Till, sleepless night turns to a new day
Till, breezy days caress my wet face
Till, many long deep sighs melt away
Till, sound of bitter smile die away

Be more strong and be more light
Be more firm and be more bright
All your chant will work out

Till, I let my sadness go away
I'll be here like a flower
Waiting to bloom

Till, breathless heart beats like it is new
Till, blessing makes me start over new
Till, inner flame gives life to myself
Till, I can say that I love myself
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Be more strong and be more light
Be more firm and be more bright
All your chant will work out

Till, I let my sadness go away
I'll be here like a flower
Waiting to bloom

She Moves On

Traveller

(Youn Sun Nah/Sterling Fox/Sangmi Kim)

I'm closer than a star
Farther than a feeling
Stronger than a broken bond
Too weak to hold

Your tears will fall
On hallow days
And when they start
I'll float away
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Wonder why
I can't stay release me
Yet once again
I'll be waiting

Be still my love for I must move
The world cannot end with more to prove
Time may stop with more to do
When I'm silent I've found true

The wind will blow
The waves will flow
And when they come
I'll float away

Wonder why
I can't stay
Heart broken
Yet once again
I'll be waiting

Teach the Gifted Children

(Lou Reed/Michael Fonfara)

Teach the gifted children
Teach them to have mercy
Teach them about sunsets
Teach them about moonrise

Teach them about anger
The sin that comes with dawning
Teach them about flowers
And the beauty of forgetfulness

Then take me to the river
And put me in the water
Bless them and forgive them
Father 'cause they just don't know
All the gifted children
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Teach the gifted children
The way of men and animals
Teach them about cities
The history of the mysteries

Their vice and their virtues
About branches that blow in the wind
On the wages of their sins

Teach them of forgiveness
Teach them about mercy
Teach them about music
And the cool and cleansing waters

Take me to the river
And take me to the river
Put me in the water
And teach the gifted children
All the gifted children

Too Late

(Jamie Saft/Vanessa Saft)

Oh, you found me
When I was lost
And feeling so hopeless

You picked me up
Brushed me off
And showed me what love is.

In your arms, oh, in your arms
You made me feel better
You made everything alright.

So I don't know
Why I don't know
Where you are tonight
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Time got away from me
Where you used to be
There's just empty space

I have been around the world
There's nothing that can take your place

Snow is falling
On the ground
Cold cold winter coming

I could find you
If I tried
But what would I say then

Let me in, let me back in
I need to feel better
I'm so cold and nothing's going right

What would you say
Would you let me stay
Even just for tonight

Time got away from me
Where you used to be
There's just empty space

I have been around the world
There's nothing that can take your place

Too late to try to find you
Would you even know my face

Too much time
Slipping by
Too much empty space

She Moves On

(Paul Simon)

I feel good
It's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts
The plane lifts
She moves on

But feel the bite
Whenever you believe that
You'll be lost and love will find you
When the road bends
And the song ends
She moves on
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
I know the reason
I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes
Inside my chest, but she
She is like a top
She cannot stop
She moves on

A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks, she jumps back
She moves on

She says "Oh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover"

Then I fall to my knees
Shake a rattle at the skies
And I'm afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken
In her cold coffee eyes

She can't sleep now
The moon is red
She fights a fever
She burns in bed
She needs to talk so
We take a walk
Down in the moonlight

She says "Maybe these emotions are
As near to love as love will ever be"
So I agree
Then the moon breaks
She takes the corner, that's all she takes
She moves on

She says "Oh my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover"

Then I fall to my knees
I grow weak, I go slack
As if she'd captured the breath
Of my voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back

But I feel good
It's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts
The plane lifts
She moves

No Other Name

(Noel Paul Stookey)

Know me by the light of a fire shining bright
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name

Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine Spanish lace
Some will say "I love you"
Some will have my face
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Some will bring you gold, babies to hold
I'll bring you only pain
You can know me, if you will by the wind on the hill
You'll know me by no other name

Some girls will die for money
Some will die as they're born
Some will swear they'd die for love
Some die every morn

I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came
The stone at my head will say I am dead
It knows me by no other name
It knows me by no other name

The Dawntreader

(Joni Mitchell)

Peridots and periwinkle, blue medallions
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
Never mind their questions there's no answer for

The roll of the harbor wake
The songs that the rigging makes
The taste of the spray he takes
And he learns to give
He aches and he learns to live
He stakes all his silver
On a promise to be free
Mermaids live in colonies
All his seadreams come to me

City satins left at home I will not need them
I believe him when he tells of loving me
Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you
Leave behind your streets he said and come to me
Come down from the neon nights
Come down from the tourist sights
Run down till the rain delights you
You do not hide
Sunlight will renew your pride
Skin white by skin golden
Like a promise to be free
Dolphins playing in the sea
All his seadreams come to me
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings
I am smiling at your circles in the air
I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping
Fold your fleet wings
I have brought some dreams to share
A dream that you love someone
A dream that the wars are done
A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea
They'll say that you're crazy
And a dream of a baby
Like a promise to be free
Children laughing out to sea
All his seadreams come to me

Drifting

(Jimi Hendrix)

Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair

(Traditional)

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
The winter's passed and the leaves are green
The time is passed that we have seen
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I shall be as one

I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
The prettiest face and the neatest hands
I love the ground whereon he stands

Black, black, black, black
Black is the color of my true love's hair

A Sailor's Life

(Traditional/Arr. Fairport Convention)

A sailor's life, it is a merry life
He robs young girls of their hearts' delight
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn
They never know when they will return

Well, there's four and twenty all in a row
My true love he makes the finest show
He's proper tall, genteel withal
And if I don't have him, I'll have none at all

Oh father, build for me a bonny boat
That on the wide ocean I may float
And every Queen's ship that we pass by
There I'll enquire for my sailor boy
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
They had not sailed long upon the deep
When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet
"You sailors all, pray tell me true
Does my sweet William sail among your crew"

"Oh no, fair maiden, he is not here
For he's been drownded we greatly fear
On yon green island as we passed it by
There we lost sight of your sailor boy"

Well, she wrung her hands and she tore her hair
She was like a young girl in great despair
And her little boat against a rock did run
"How can I live now my sweet William is gone"

Fools Rush In

(Rube Bloom/Johnny Mercer)

"Romance is a game for fools"
I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play

"Romance is a game for fools"
I said and grinned
Then you passed by and here am I
Throwing caution to the wind

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head

Though I see, the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart
And let this fool rush in

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know

When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart
And let this fool rush in
So open up your heart
And let this fool rush in

Evening Star

(Youn Sun Nah/Vanessa Saft)

Here comes another twilight
There goes another day without you
I stop on the stairs to wonder
Wonder where does, where does love go

Love filled these rooms
Love filled my hands
And now it's gone, gone, gone
Nowhere to be found
Rob and rob again, stupid robot back again
Before the moonlight calls I want to know
Oh, evening star can't you see from where you are
Tell me evening star
Where does love go

Tomorrow I'll go downtown
Try to get lost in the crowd
Anything to fill my hands while I wait
For twilight

Before the moonlight calls I want to know
Oh, evening star can't you see from where you are
Tell me evening star
Where does love go

Tomorrow I'll go downtown
Try to get lost in the crowd
Anything to fill my hands while I wait
For twilight

Immersion

In My Heart

(Rûmî poems)

In my heart inside and out
Is all beloved
In my body blood and veins
Is all beloved
How can there be any room
For religion
Since my heart overflows
Into beloved

Searching for love
Once in a while
We feel at loss
Feeling the pain
Once in a while
We sizzle in fire
Once you and I
Are cleansed from you and me

In my heart inside and out
Is all beloved
In my body blood and veins
Is all beloved
How can there be any room
For religion
Since my heart overflows
Into beloved

The Wonder

You and I, you and I
Go where few will ever dare to go
Unveiling melody
What better way to see the stars

Burning, learning, yearning
More than any words can ever say
Still shining now

Returning, turning back again
I love to see you let it in
The love in my eyes

One thing, one, one thing
I love to do, I love to do
Wonder, won, wondering
Being with you, being with you

Yes our love
Grows stronger
In the middle of the changing tide
We feel it, like water
Finds a way to live forever

Swirling, leaping, riding on rhythm
Takes us from the stars
To the Garden now

Blooming, leaning back again
I know the wonder I am in
The love in your eyes

Each time, first time, the wonder
All the things we deny ourselves
When we turn away from the wonder
I enjoy the wonder with you

You and I, we see
In the middle of it all
A lantern, a lantern
In the middle of it all
The lantern shines

One thing, one, one thing
I love to do, I love to do
Wonder, won, wondering
Being with you, being with you

One thing, one, one thing
I love to do, I love to do
Wonder, won, wondering
Being with you, being with you

Isn't It A Pity

(George Harrison)

Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Your eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Now, isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Now isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Now isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Isn't is a shame
Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a pity

Here Today

Let the love we have
Let it guide my way
I am not alone
Here today

I will walk 'cross the sky
Push into the sun
If it will bring you here today

I will lift up my voice
Send my song to time
Stay and sing through illusion now

Age old cowards know only conquer and divide
They will never know love like yours
And they will never, never know a love like mine

Only we
Can live to be
The truth wont fade away
Dignity
We sing to free
The love that's here today

Now
We can open up the way
We are not alone
We are here today

Mystic River

Tell me where my dreams should hide
Should I leave, should I remain
The taste of freedom comes without advice
Would you follow me with faith

Crowded nights invade my silence
Wish I could hide below the sky
Silvery moon, tell me what I should do
I am lost in memories

I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come to me again
I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come and take me away

Crowded town invades my night
Wish I could hide below the sky
Silvery moon, tell me what to believe
I am lost in memories

Tell me where my dreams should hide
Should I leave, should I remain
I have been sitting here to contemplate
And I think I've found my way

I am the sailor's daughter
Mystic river come to me
I am the sailor's daughter
Mystic river come and take me away

I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come to me again
I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come and take me away

I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come to me again
I am the sailor's daughter, come find me
Mystic river come and take me away

Sans toi

(Agnes Varda/Michel Legrand)

Toutes portes ouvertes
En plein courant d'air
Je suis une maison vide
Sans toi, sans toi

Comme une île déserte
Que recouvre la mer
Mes plages se dévident
Sans toi, sans toi

Belle en pure perte
Nue au coeur de l'hiver
Je suis un corps avide
Sans toi, sans toi

Rongée par le cafard
Morte au cercueil de verre
Je me couvre de rides
Sans toi, sans toi

Et si tu viens trop tard
On m'aura mise en terre
Seule, laide et livide
Sans toi, sans toi
Sans toi

Mercy Mercy Me (The ecology)

(Marvin Gaye)

Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go
Poison is the wind that blows
From the North and South and East

Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

Oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand
Oh, no, please have mercy
My sweet Lord
Please have mercy
Please have mercy
My sweet Lord
Mercy mercy me

God's Gonna Cut You Down

(Traditional / Johnny Cash)

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John, go do my will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler
The gambler
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

You Can't Hurry Love

(The Supremes)

No love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight

I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
But it ain't easy
When mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
Just trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, it's almost gone

I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart to break

No, I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hanging on
I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love

I'm Alright

Too much wine
I'm alright
I fall down
I'm alright

The ground's so warm
But I feel cold somehow
I hold out my arms
Wanting to be held

I know you're everywhere
but not by my side

Too much love
Too much hurt

But I'm alright

Invincible

And now, so you go your way
In the ebb and flow
There you go
There you go

Free, now your soul is free
In the mystery
And the majesty, you flow

Clusters of clouds
Painting the sky
Tones and overtones that play all the while
Across the tide
Into the dome
You're going home

On an ocean
An ocean of light

You are shining
Forever shining
You're invincible
Invincible now

A world in a grain of sand
A flower in hand
You're on your way home

On an ocean
An ocean of light

You are shining
Forever shining
You're invincible
Invincible now
On an ocean
An ocean of light

You are shining
Forever shining
You're invincible
Invincible now

You're on your way home

Hallelujah

(Leonard Cohen)

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you

Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
All I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Waking World

Bird on the Ground

If you should leave again
Far away where I am not allowed to go
I'll let you go away
'Cause through the years
I've become used to sadness

I am like a bird running
On the ground without flying
But I don't want to see
Your true bare face

I know I lose myself
And I don't know if I can call this love
It must be so nice
To feel loved and feel safe

I am like a bird singing
Love songs without sound
But I don't want someone to
Hear my cry

If you should leave again
Far away where I am not allowed to go
I'll let you go away
Far away, far away, far away

'Cause through the years
I'm like a bird running
On the ground

I wanna fly
I wanna fly
I wanna fly
I wanna fly

Don’t Get Me Wrong

No matter what the fact is
Whenever the truth is revealed
You don't change your mind, such a shame, oh
I know the rainbow's not real
But you can make real love songs with it
And you believe hatred makes good melodies

Don't get me wrong but you're so wrong
The way you see the world is wrong
Never forget we are made from love, love

Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong

No matter what the fact is
Whenever the truth is unveiled
You don't change your mind, such a shame, oh
You would say misconception
But nothing can cover up lies
And you'd believe false words have more power

Don't get me wrong but you're so wrong
The way you see the world is wrong
The world has no chance with those who lie and lie

Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
Don't get

Lost Vegas

Vegas nights are dark and cold
Nights of sorrow, nights with no stars
Where has all the glory gone
Moonless desert swallowed lights

People with blurry eyes
Wander the streets like zombies
Lost in the fallen kingdom
Tracing the road back home
They can't find a way out
And they struggle to break out of the trap

People with blurry eyes
Wander the streets like zombies
Trying to rise up from the
Deep and muddy gutter
They can't find a way out
And they struggle to open their eyes wide

Vegas nights are dark and cold
Nights of sorrow, nights with no stars
Vegas nights are dark and cold
Nights of sorrow, nights with no stars

Heart of a Woman

Slowly, sweetly, softly
Silently but cruelly
Sneaking up around the corner
Of my room, you're gone

There's nothing wrong
With a heart of a woman
Just sometimes
It breaks for love of you

There's nothing wrong
With my heart
Just sometimes
Dark as the mourning dress
A dirge for love

Round and Round

The Wild thunder
Turning to consolation
The crying shower
Turning to purification

You
Flowing through me
Streaming down on my skin

You
Moving my mind
Making me dance through this hall

One round
Two rounds and three rounds
And on and on
Don't stop
Until you feel at one with the universe

My inner garden
Turning to desolation
My quiet nights
Turning to agitation

You
Growing through me
Leaving scars on my skin

You
Moving my mind
Making me dance through this hell

One round
Two rounds and three rounds
And on and on
Don't stop
Until you feel at one with the universe

My Mother

How can you see what I can not see
Even in darkness
How can you feel all of my pain so well
My mother

When the sun comes down
I cry on and on, all night long
I don't know if I could start over waiting
For better days

When it comes to me
I would run away
When it comes to you
You would try again

I am everything to you
But he said I'm no one
I don't know if I could be
As strong as you
My mother

When it comes to me
I would try again
When it comes to you
You would run away

How can you smile when I can not smile
Even in sorrow
How can you keep drying
My eyes every time
My mother

Waking World

If it were a dream I'd surely
See your face and be relieved
No need to hide from being
Our true selves
I know this bond will be broken
In the day with my eyes wide open
In this waking world

If it were a dream I'd surely
Walk out hand in hand with you
No need to run away
From anything
I know this bond will be broken
In the day with my eyes wide open
In this waking world
In this waking world
In this waking world

Tangled Soul

Oh, so you leave her
Don't come back to me
Every time I think of her
The girl you fell in love with
I see myself as a lonely clown
When she cries, tell her I smile

Oh, now my love
You can not undo me
Every time I think of you
The man I fell in love with
How sad you are
You will end up being tangled
In your lies like a ball of twine

We're all in relation with someone
They come and go
And no one's above you and
No one's below you
They're always beside you

The girls you once had in your
Arms are stronger than ever now
You can't break them
Because you didn't make them
You'll face your own Karma

I see myself as a lonely clown
When she cries, tell her I smile

It's Ok

It's OK
Sun comes in the sky
Let's put off our worries till tonight
Sometimes like a child
Sometimes like a lazy kitty cat
Let's just let it flow

We are where we are, where we are
We are who we are, who we are

It's OK
We might run out of time
Let's put off our worries till tomorrow
Sometimes we can win
Sometimes lose by what we do today
But who cares in the end

We are where we are, where we are
We are who we are, who we are

Endless Déjà Vu

When the world comes crashing down on me
With no doubt, I'll give in
There's nowhere to hide out
And no one to help me out
Endless deja vu

I'm falling again
Into the abyss

You show me again
An apocalypse

I vanish again
In a total eclipse

You fool me again
I get on my knees

Why do I always have to blame
Myself and let them walk all over me
I'm fed up with all this nonsense in the end
I know things ain't alright

I'm falling again
Into the abyss

You show me again
An apocalypse

I vanish again
In a total eclipse

You fool me again
I get on my knees

And the world comes crashing
And the world comes crashing
And the world comes crashing
And the world comes crashing down

I'm Yours

Oh, my sun, I'm going out to be yours.
Oh, my stars, I'm going out to be yours
Oh...

Oh, my ocean, you're calling out to be heard
Oh, my blue sky, you're calling out to be loved
Oh...

Oh, my people, I breathe in to be here
Oh, my world, I breathe out to be here
Oh...

Feeling Good

(Anthony Newley/Leslie Bricusse)

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life
For me

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean

And this old world, is a new world, and a bold world
For me
And I'm feeling good

Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine, and I know how I feel

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Cocoon

(Björk)

Who would have known
That a boy like him
Would have entered me lightly
Restoring my blisses

Who would have known
That a boy like him
After sharing my core
Would stay going nowhere

Who would have known
A beauty this immense
Who would have known
A saintly trance

Who would have known
Miraculous breath
To inhale a beard
Loaded with courage

Who would have known
That a boy like him
Possessed of magical
Sensitivity

Who would approach
A girl like me
Who caresses, cradles his head
In her bosom

He slides inside
Half awake, half asleep
We faint back
Into sleephood
When I wake up
The second time
In his arms
Gorgeousness
He's still inside me

Who would have known
Who would have known

A train of pearls
Cabin by cabin
Is shot precisely
Across an ocean

From a mouth
From a
From the mouth
Of a girl like me
To a boy
To a boy
To a boy

I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)

(Grace Jones)

Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day

Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Hausmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars

Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort
Tu te prends pour qui
Toi aussi, tu détestes la vie

Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone

Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée
Joel est barré

My Funny Valentine

(Richard Rodgers et Lorenz Hart)

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little bit week
When you open it to speak
Are you smart

Don't change her hair for me
Not if you care of me
Stay little Valentine
Each day is Valentine's day

White Rabbit

(Jefferson Airplane)

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

(Traditional)

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
A long way from home
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
And a long way from home
And a long way from home

Baltimore Oriole

(Hoagy Carmichael/Paul Francis Webster)

Baltimore Oriole
Took one look at that mercury
Forty below

No life for a lady
To be draggin' her feathers around
In the snow

Leaving her mate, she flew straight
To the Tangipaho
Where a two timing jaybird
Met the divine miss o

Baltimore oriole
Messed around with that Jay bird
Till he singed her wing

Forgiving is easy
It's a woman like,
"now and then it happens" sort of thing

Send her back home
Home ain't home without her warbling
How she can sing
Make a lonely man happy
Baltimore oriole

Come down from your bough
Fly to your baby now
Baltimore oriole
Fly to your daddy now

La Foule

(Edith Piaf)

Je revois la ville en fête et en délire
Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie
Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires
Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi

Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent
Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là
Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule
Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras

Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne
Nous entraîne, écrasés l'un contre l'autre
Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps
Et le flot sans effort nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre
Et nous laisse tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux

Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance
Et qui danse une folle farandole
Nos deux mains restent soudées
Et parfois soulevés, nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent
Et retombent tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux

Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire
Me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi
Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires
Quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras

Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne
Nous entraîne, nous éloigne l'un de l'autre
Je lutte et je me débats
Mais le son de ma voix s'étouffe dans les rires des autres
Et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage et je pleure

Et traînée par la foule qui s'élance
Et qui danse une folle farandole
Je suis emportée au loin
Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole
L'homme qu'elle m'avait donné et que je n'ai jamais retrouvé

Killing Me Softly with His Song

(Charles Fox/Norman Gimbel)

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Breathe

(Pink Floyd cover / Nguy​ê​n Lê with NDR Bigband & Michael Gibbs feat. Youn Sun Nah)

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When, at last, the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
Balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Hot Knife

(Fiona Apple / Live)

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

I'm a hot knife, I'm a hot knife
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that
He's never gonna need another, never need another

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

If I'm butter, if I'm butter
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife
He makes my heart a cinema scope
He's showing the dancing bird of paradise

Plain Gold Ring

(Nina Simone cover / Round Nina LP)

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band

Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring

When nighttime comes calling on me
I know why I will never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time

Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying day
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears a plain gold ring

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore...

Sometimes it snow in april

(Prince / Live)

Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here

I used to cry for Tracy 'cause he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass u every day
I used to cry for Tracy because I wanted to see him again
But sometimes, sometimes life ain't always the way

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry for love, never cry for pain

He used to say so strong, unafraid to die
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
No, staring at his picture that I realized
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last
And all good things they say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's past
