Description
Well I think I'm almost officially having a midlife crisis.Its either that or seasonally affected disorder.Feel like hollowing out a tree,getting inside it and sleeping for 10 billion years.Apologies to all those people out there who do lots of good stuff for people everyday and don't do the feeling miserable bit.I am in complete admiration of you,and continue to strive to be somebody useful in society.Anyway - heres a song I uploaded on macjams a few years ago re-done.I chose the picture because I've been watching everything that ever inspired me as a child,and this picture was one of them.I love the way he's holding his ass because he fell down from the moon too soon,and stole somebody's hedge.Thats the kind of story I'd prefer to read in the daily newspaper.I can live with that kind of story,cos it's quite amusing and not thoroughly depressing like most of the headlines.
It was quite scarey to me,to compare the two versions after I finished recording this,as I didnt listen to the original 4-rack version I did,6 years ago.I realised I put it down a key or two,probably cos I couldn't reach the notes now.Also I didnt add the slightly manic harpsichordist part.
It sounds a bit more mature now.How scarey.
Heres the original:-
www.macjams.com/song/28621 - Eternal Clouds first version
I can't really sing opera - and as I said in the original post,if you know anyone who can I'd love to hear it sung by a proper singer.Thanks so much for listening.Rich.Off to dig a deep hole,get in it and get someone to cover it in sand.And leaves.
Oh by the way,in case you want to know what the poem says and you may be getting to the stage of losing your eyesight like me,the poem goes:-
'The Man in the Moon was caught in a trap
For stealing the thorns from another man's gap
If he had gone by,and let the thorns lie,
He'd never have been Man in the Moon so high'

Lyrics
Eternal Clouds
Call the Watcher in the green
The piper in the trees
The seasons guardian angel
Love is greater than the sea
It changes you and me
Though we cannot live forever
Autumn fades the golden boughs
Spring lights the emerald flowers
We chase eternal clouds
Call the workers in the field
Your gentle heart to yield
A promise to the traveller
Silver flashes from the stream
A poorman only dreams
Of finding one sweet lover
Dancing shadow Harvest whisper
Queen of Sunlight fear the storm
We seldom catch the skylark song
We only seek one true beauty true

Call the Watcher in the green
The piper in the trees
The seasons guardian angel
Love is greater than the sea
It changes you and me
Though we cannot live forever
Autumn fades the golden boughs
Spring lights the emerald flowers
We chase eternal clouds
Call the workers in the field
Your gentle heart to yield
A promise to the traveller
Silver flashes from the stream
A poorman only dreams
Of finding one sweet lover
Dancing shadow Harvest whisper
Queen of Sunlight fear the storm
We seldom catch the skylark song
We only seek one true beauty true

..had you sounded like Pavarotti, you would have ruined this. This is above excellent Richard--but I'm sure you must realize that (or do you? Maybe that's the secret to your success). Bravo! Also: A good cure for Seasonal Affective Disorder is to paint your bedroom walls with glow-in-the-dark paint (and if you believe that, I'm Mahatma Gandhi!)
