Infra-Red lyrics:
One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday

Someone call the ambulance, there's gonna be an accident
I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
'Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running, I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face off
I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash and burn your beggar's banquet

Someone call the ambulance,
there's gonna be an accident
I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
'Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running, I will find you (And the dark is running after you, I swear it, the dark is running after you. The dark is after you...)

Someone call the ambulance, there's gonna be an accident
I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
'Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running, I will find you
'Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
'Cause I can see in the dark
I'm coming up on infra-red
Forget your running,
I will find you I'll find you, I'll find you
 
Jethro Tull - Birthday Card at Christmas
(from the Jethro Tull Christmas Album)


Got a birthday card at Christmas... it made me think of Jesus Christ.
It said, "I love you" in small letters. I simply had to read it twice.
Wood smoke curled from blackened chimneys. The smell of frost was in the air.
Pole star hovered in the blackness. I looked again... it wasn't there.

People have showered me with presents. While their minds were fixed on other things.
Sleigh bells, bearded red suit uncles. Pointy trees and angel wings.
I am the shadow in your Christmas. I am the corner of your smile.
Perfunctory in celebration. You offer content but no style.

That little baby Jesus... he got a birthday card or three.
Gold trinkets and cheap frankincense. Some penny baubles for his tree.
Have some time off for good behaviour. Forty days, give or take a few.
Hey there, sweet baby Jesus... Let's share a birthday card with you.
 
Was wondering if I’d had a bit of an epiphany yesterday and then the timing, action and chosen ‘name’ of a fellow FOTCM member struck as rather elegant. Hope they stumble across this, not for all but I love it and took it as a positive ‘sign’ 🤗🖤

 

After dinner's been eaten and I'm in the kitchen doing the washing up... I like to listen to some music.
I'm getting a bit old to being go out to nightclubs now :-D, so I've brought the dancefloor to the kitchen!
The lyrics for this are pretty good too, very easy to sing a long to and if it's loud it drowns out any bum notes you might hit! :-[
The batch of crystals arrived for my wife and children and I stumbled back across the song about the same time.
Finger clicking, shoulder shrugging, hip swaying all the way!


[Intro: Isley Jasper Isley]
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh

[Verse 1: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the motherland
One by one we're gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
We'll join together with hearts of gold

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born is so neglected and torn
Torn apart

[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love



[Post-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

[Verse 2: Chris Jasper]
We'll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow from your heart

[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

[Post-Chorus: Chris Jasper]
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

[Verse 3: Chris Jasper]
Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn
Torn apart



[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

[Bridge: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Come go with me
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Come go with me
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)

[Chorus: Chris Jasper & (Isley Jasper Isley)]
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
 
If there is a holiday that my family enjoys the most, it would have to be Christmas, even if it has waned considerably over the years. Out of all of the things that have fallen away, there are still a few Christmas albums (yeah. vinyl.) that I still listen to. I don't really care much for the "Pop" Christmas songs preferring the more traditional orchestral and choir offerings. That being said, I do like some James Last and Ray Conniff. That's about as Pop as I get. There is one song that puts me in a good mood every time I hear it. From the 1977 album (our version is from 1972) Die Schönsten Weihnachtslieder by Fischer-Chöre, "Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben". It's possibly my favourite Christmas song.

 
"Beim Schlafengehen" from Vier Letzte Lieder by Richard Strauss

Text by Hermann Hesse

Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht,
Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen.

Hände, lasst von allem Tun,
Stirn, vergiss du alles Denken,
Alle meine Sinne nun
Wollen sich in Schlummer senken.

Und die Seele, unbewacht,
Will in freien Flügen schweben,
Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
Tief und tausendfach zu Leben.




Upon Going to Sleep
Hermann Hesse

Now that day has made me tired,
My blissful yearning
Will welcome starry night
In friendship like a sleepy child.

Hands, rest from all your tasks,
Brow, forget all thinking
All my senses now
Want to sink in slumber.

And my unguarded soul
Wants to soar in freest flight
Within enchanted night time circles,
To live a thousand fold profoundly.
 
Cover version of Fairy Tale of New York (with a slight change to the lyrics).

"OFFICIAL VIDEO for FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK by Cameron Barnes & Blythe Duff (Feat. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers) in collaboration with BAFTA Award Winning Director Michael J Ferns."
 
This song was partly inspired by the romantic fiction thread and is my interpretation of how a relationship can make us stronger and more resilient, about this dance we call partnership and love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

it's a ten minute rock song, took me 4 months to create, produce and mix, a labor of love indeed .


The music video is a version of the ballet Spring water. Filmed in slow motion in order to focus on balletic movements and to heighten aesthetic response.

Complementarity​


Holy queen on her throne
Regal eyes interlope
Streaming light
Full of hope
Realize cornerstone
Take all of me

Growing truth
Feed your soul
And be heard

Holy king on his throne
Scars wither
Credence showing
Not alone

Random boy
One delivered something whole and strong
Limber honor libido

So this is love
Oh addle love
Stay
Saviors
Thread entwined
All
Realize you’re all

Holding hiding let it go free and strong
Hold the light and fine will comes in sharing love

Healing heart in the fire
Meaning starts to inspire
Holding onto the lie
Owning up to the scar
Breathe it in

Fire inside fueling the courage
So that these souls will live again
Shining prize pending the courage
So the divided will amend

Kissing the sky daring the night breaking the hold of unworthy
Run to the fire push through the pyre something beyond so holy
Kraken and coal one must let go two is the greatest army

When we share
vulnerable
When we share our fears
We’re nearer

Committal to every moment
In giving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Bleeding yore inner lie
Annealing starts to expire
Knowing eyes recognize
Holding onto the fire
Breathe it in

Lying mind this all takes courage
So that the heart will beat again
Scry inside finding the courage
So that the spiral we ascend

Drifting in flight solidify sharing a bond so worthy
Gaining insight hearts are alight spreading the light so holy
Clotting the sol never let go two is the greatest army

When we share
vulnerable
When we share our fears
We’re nearer

Committal to every moment
Receiving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Carving your own path in tandem
Following your heart abandon (fear)
Fear is just a programmed fashion
Give to those that ask the question
Yin and yang and queen and king and
Break on through with potent passion

Rise
Rise up

Hunger desire
You don’t master anything (by running from it)
Don’t run
Don’t run away

All that I’ll ever need
Real as I’ll ever be
Home is the heart you give
Co-linear indeed

Dasvidaniya so long to infancy
Dasvidaniya fear and anxiety
Dasvidaniya to all the doubt inside
Dasvidaniya no longer need to hide
Dasvidaniya so long to being alone
Dasvidaniya no more of being unknown
Dasvidaniya to all this inner war
Dasvidaniya and welcome to something more


Achene honeybee
Gneiss aver

Concentric spirals rising up through time
With patience and understanding and most of all commitment and love
To heed the call of interdependence
Helping each other grow
In baring our souls in perfect honesty we learn to develop our potential and creativity
Through each other with each other and because of each other
A new path emerges
With hope courage and love

Committal to every moment
In giving true are the lovers
Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Near something so strong
We share and belong
Heavens’ arms
Beckons us
We remember the call

Anima mia yearning for you
Anima mia believes in us

Love
 
That was absolutely STUNNING, Baz.

I'll say two things, your matchup is perfect. The second: I'm a noob when it comes to dance (been to a few), but this is absolutely incredible! It's the first one I've seen that was SIGNALLING so many things and you could follow along like it was a story!
