-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…

“While I Wait”: (Richard Hardrick)
I hear my steps from echoes
down in the street of time
van años en lo incierto
outside the shadow line
Silence in an empty sky
while I wait
God has not revealed yet
the truth of signs outside…

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.

And so, we all went back to our lives alone. Still, we dreamed and saw the beauty surrounding us. Still, the sun was pushing through the fog.

Overnight
the world went fake
Everything has been replaced
With pale imitations
Gray reflections
The food has no taste
Surrounded by automatons
Programmed not to see what's going on
Cheap props and flimsy sets
A tired plot and bad effects…

Blue the light that shines on me
Watching you on the screen
Blue your eyes and blue the scenes

Scanning, surfing all alone
Blue the color of the bruise
Thinking of my time with you…

I pinch myself but I don't wake up
I cut myself but I still feel numb
The drugs
The drinks
It's later than you think
I starve myself but the weight won't lift
I beat myself up and I can't stop it
Then you appear
Tell me what I need to…

It's a small song about a blurred childhood memory of a night in the woods when a wild boar made us run home in panic.
The monster came through the ground
Across the glade we ran
There was a sense we felt again - never felt again.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

Lyrics:

Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

We walled ourselves in apartments and rooms away from each other. Random thoughts and mundane life was grinding us to a halt inside. Some days, we were tyrants, and some days we were saints.

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture…
