July Playlist

The July Playlist

It’s a time of warmth and wide horizons.
As if the earth itself exhales and says,
“Now is the moment to shine.
Now is the season to rise and move boldly.”

Peter Link and Jenny Burton
– Trees Are Falling

Trees Are Falling

“An inspiring, heartfelt duet by Peter Link and Jenny Burton, inspired by a dream and a moment of psychedelic clarity. With earthy vocals and a plea for awareness, it’s a musical wake-up call to protect the forests before their silence becomes permanent. An homage to caring for our trillions of trees on our beloved Planet Earth.

    Trees Are Falling

    Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
    Title: Jenny Burton

    1

    Trees
    Use ta be six trillion
    Trees
    Now there are three trillion
    An’ the man just laughs
    An’ cuts another one down
    Trees
    Trees are fallin’
    Quicker than a man can grow more
    There are more trees than people on this planet
    In fact, it all adds up to roughly
    Four hundred twenty-two trees
    For every person alive
    We humans are eclipsed (outnumbered)
    We call this Earth our world when really
    It belongs to the trees
    And now they’re all fighting for …
    Their lives
    Trees
    Trees are falling
    Ripping loose their roots
    From this tired old ground

    2

    As if to say
    “It’s time to get away
    It’s time to leave this place
    Where no one seems to care anymore”
    One day up
    An’ the next day down
    Middle of the night
    An’ makin’ no sound
    They just give it up
    Just give it up
    Give it up, give it up, give it up
    They give it up
    They give it up
    Slaughtered by the men and their steel machines
    Burning in their fires
    Can you hear their screams
    I can hear them screaming in the fire
    As the Earth goes on spinning round and round
    Trees are falling
    Falling
    Trees are falling
    There’s a secret delegation of trees
    They meet monthly
    Deep in the forest
    They’re workin’ on a plan of survival
    And how to fight back at humankind
    An’ how to regain control

    3

    Lead by the Giant Sequoia
    A decision must be reached
    Whether to cut and run
    Or to stay and face the enemy
    (Mankind and his machines)
    Or to pull their roots
    From this hallowed ground
    And then find another place
    Out there in outer space
    Can’t you just …
    Can’t you just imagine
    The migration
    Of three trillion trees
    Pulling up roots
    And flying off to places unknown
    Leaving us behind
    An’ wond’ring
    If we had only
    Done you better
    Watching over the trees
    Can you imagine?
    A world without trees?
    Trees are falling
    What are we gonna to do?
    Without trees?
    Trees
    Trees are falling …

    4

    Where do the birds go now?
    What do we do when the sun comes out
    And we can’t stand in the shade?
    How do we know when the seasons change?
    A walk in the woods will never be the same.

    White Magic

    You wait for bad luck like you're waiting for a friend
    When it comes around, you wonder why it's back again
    A gypsy reads your palm, she says your future's looking bleak
    You wonder why you feel defenseless and weak
    Astrologist tells you there's madness in your sign
    You wonder why you feel something's wrong with your mind
    I hate to see you troubled, hate to see you tangled up
    Think you need a little white magic called love
    Just a little white magic called love
    Come on out into the light
    Love will change you for certain
    Wanna show you a little white magic
    There's no man behind the curtain
    You got dragons and death and demons everywhere
    God against the devil, God against fear
    You don't need an exorcist to sanctify your blood
    You just need a little white magic called love
    Just a little white magic called love
    Come on out into the light
    Shining from every direction
    Wanna show you a little white magic
    Wanna take you straight to perfection
    There's no hidden meaning, no thought control
    I don't wanna mystify you, I don't wanna save your soul
    You don't need a witch doctor, you don't need permission from above
    Just need a little white magic called love
    Just a little white magic called love
    Come on out into the light
    Love will change you for certain
    Wanna show you a little white magic
    There's no man behind the curtain
    Come on out into the
    light
    Shining, shining, shining

    Northbound Train
    Music by Frank Wildhorn
    Lyrics by Jack Murphy

    I read your letter about a hundred times today
    Thought I'd better write before I'm on my way
    We're moving out Just where I can't say
    Indiana snow fell mighty deep I hear
    So winter wheat should fetch a handsome price this year
    We'll be alright when I get outta here
    One more month living by the sword
    One last valley to march through
    Thirty days 'til I climb aboard that northbound train
    Back home to you

    I met a southern boy down here in Tennessee
    He must've been about the same age as me
    We're both as scared as two men could be
    We talked across the lines 'til break of day
    And while we talked there was no blue or gray
    Just the things two farm-boys would say
    His voice drawled sweet as a mockingbird
    'Bought drought and rain and weather
    Once that night we both swore we heard the whistle call
    Of a northbound train

    I asked him what he was fighting for
    He said 'cause Yankee you're down here
    I said that's something I can understand
    But I'm the son of an Indiana volunteer
    Just trying to march through all my fears
    Long enough to catch that northbound train

    So Abby when I finally get back home to you
    Don't ask me nothing 'bout the things I've had to do
    It'll chill your soul break your young heart in two
    I ain't the same Lord knows I've seen some fearful things
    And I've felt the breathless beat of angel's wings
    When bullets fly and the saber swings
    One more month living by the sword One last valley to march through
    Thirty days 'til I climb aboard that northbound train
    Back home to you
    Back home to you
    On a northbound train.

Ron Di Salvio – A Thousand Songs

A Thousand Songs


Shirley Horn was a genius of melding lyrics into elongated elegant elusive phrases while playing piano voicings that surprised our ears and hearts and astounded our intellect. The vocal quartet blends and beautifies the lyric; while Jimmy Cobb’s subtle swing takes the rhythm section upwards into the stars.

    A Thousand Songs
    A Tribute to Shirley Horn
    Music by Ron Di Salvio

    Heard a thousand songs sung sweetly,
    By a bird in early spring,
    Oh no, that was Shirley Horn, our Queen.

    Play those chords for me, magically,
    Make me laugh, make me cry,
    Bring a tear, bring a sigh,
    Bring Love.

    Your song will never sleep, always ours to keep,
    Love with tenderness,
    Sweet sorrow, such soft emotion.

    Where are you now?
    Swinging on a star in the sky up above?
    Shirley sway, Shirley play,
    As night turns to day on the Earth.

    Trumpet call in space,
    Harmony with grace,
    Lush songs, ethereal.
    Is it Shirley’s own song left behind unsung?

    Her words won’t gather dust or darkness.
    Where are you Shirley Horn?
    Please sing your song once more.

    Note: It was a cold rust colored fall day in October, 2005 when I heard about
    Shirley Horn’s passing. I went to bed that night and was awakened by the
    sound of her voice, it was three AM. I went down to my piano and by eight AM
    this was the song that I had written. Shirley was a most unique singer, with an
    incredible way of phrasing, putting stress on certain words and letting others
    vanish into thin air. Her chord voicing’s mesmerized, astounded and
    confounded theorists. She shared her inner soul with us in songs like “Here’s
    to Life and “You Won’t Forget Me.” Here’s to Shirley Horn, Our Queen!

Gospel Cantata – Chariot

Chariot

“The story about the master Elijah and his devoted disciple, Elisha, set to music. The idea that a chariot of fire would sweep down out of the heavens and carry off a man in a mystical spiritual process called “ascension” has fascinated me since childhood.” ~Peter Link — With vocalists Jenny Burton, Angela Clemmons, Cat Russell, John James, Darryl Tookes and Margaret Dorn who also did vocal arrangements

    Chariot
    Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

    [We open on a man in light, a slave, leaning on his shovel, in the heat of the day standing under the sun. He dreams of his freedom. Light flashes across the sky as the chariot roars across the heavens. The music builds and then drops out to drumming under the following call and response.]

    Are you ready my brother?
    Oh yes
    Are you ready for the journey?
    Oh yes
    Do you want to see your savior?
    Oh yes
    I'm waitin' for the chariot
    Cause I'm ready to go

    Are you ready my sister?
    Oh yes
    Are you ready for the journey?
    Oh yes
    Do you want to see your savior?
    Oh yes
    I'm waitin' for the chariot
    Cause I'm ready to go

    Swing low
    Sweet chariot
    Comin' for to carry me home
    Swing low
    Sweet chariot
    Comin' for to carry me home

    Why don't you swing down chariot
    Stop
    And let me ride
    Swing down chariot
    Stop
    And let me ride

    Rock me Lord oh' rock me Lord
    Rock me Lord oh' rock me Lord
    Rock me Lord oh' rock me Lord
    Calm an' easy
    I got a home on the other side

    I'm sometimes up an' sometimes down
    Comin' for to carry me home
    But still my soul feels heavenly bound
    Comin' for to carry me home

    I don't know but I been told
    The streets of heaven are paved with gold
    I got a mother in the promised land
    I won't stop till I take her hand
    An' I got a brother on the other side
    So I ain't gonna stop 'til I take that ride

    Swing low
    Sweet chariot
    Comin' for to carry me home
    Swing low

    Comin' for to carry me home

    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Waitin' for the chariot
    To carry me home

    And Elijah said watch me now
    I'm goin' to see my maker

    Who coverest thyself with light
    Who stretchest out the heavens
    Like a curtain
    Who maketh the clouds His chariot
    Who walketh upon the wings of the wind

    Who laid the foundations of the earth
    Who watereth the hills from His chambers
    Who maketh the clouds His chariot
    Who walketh upon the wings of the wind

    Behold He shall come up as clouds
    And His chariots shall be as a whirlwind
    His horses are swifter than eagles
    As He cometh down to carry me away

    Who sendest forth His spirit
    Who maketh my face to shine
    Who maketh the clouds His chariot
    Who walketh upon the wings of the wind

    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Waitin' for the chariot
    To carry me home

    And Elisha the disciple
    Said unto his master
    I shall ask a hard thing
    A hard thing

    Nevertheless I pray thee
    Let twice the power of thy spirit
    Be manifested in me

    And Elijah the master
    Said to his disciple
    Thou hast asked a hard thing
    A hard thing

    Nevertheless if thou see me
    When I am taken from thee
    It shall be unto thee

    Yes thou hast asked a hard thing
    A hard thing
    Nevertheless if thou see me
    When I am taken from thee
    It shall be unto thee

    But if thou see me not
    It shall not be so
    And it came to pass
    As they walked on
    And talked on
    That behold

    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha

    Yes behold...

    "Yes behold"
    There appeared a chariot of fire
    And horses of fire
    Holy horses of fire
    Yes down from the heavens
    Came a chariot of fire
    And parted them both asunder

    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha
    Master Elijah
    Disciple Elisha

    And Elijah went up
    In a chariot of fire
    By a whirlwind into heaven
    In a chariot of fire

    Yes Elijah went up
    In a chariot of fire
    By a whirlwind into heaven
    And Elisha saw the whirlwind
    And the chariot of fire
    Yes Elisha saw the whirlwind
    And the chariot of fire
    And he cried
    Yes he cried

    I looked over Jordan and what did I see
    Comin' for to carry me home
    A band of angels comin' after me
    Comin' for to carry me home

    Why don't you swing down chariot

    Tell all my friends that I'm comin' too
    Comin' for to carry me
    Comin' for to carry me home
