Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
and how she gave me life
and how she made it in
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy, your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy "What to do, what to do?"

't Is stil in Amsterdam
De mensen zijn gaan slapen
Hmmm hmmm
De auto's en de fietsen
Zijn levenloze dingen
De stad behoort nu nog
Aan een paar enkelingen
Zoals ik
Die houden van verlaten straten
Om zomaar hardop
In jezelf te kunnen praten
Om zomaar hardop te kunnen zingen
Want de auto's en de fietsen
Zijn levenloze dingen

Eh toi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Même si c'est un mensonge
Et qu'on n'a pas une chance
La vie est si triste
Dis-moi que tu m'aimes
Tous les jours sont les mêmes
J'ai besoin de romance

Maryanne Amacher : February 25, 1938 - October 22, 2009
When played at the right sound level, which is quite high and exciting, the tones in this music will cause your ears to act as neurophonic instruments that emit sounds that will seem to be issuing directly from your head
... (my audiences) discover they are producing a tonal dimension of the music which interacts melodically, rhythmically, and spatially with the tones in the room. Tones 'dance' in the immediate space of their body, around them like a sonic wrap, cascade inside ears, and out to space in front of their eyes
... Do not be alarmed! Your ears are not behaving strange or being damaged! ... these virtual tones are a natural and very real physical aspect of auditory perception, similar to the fusing of two images resulting in a third three dimensional image in binocular perception... I want to release this music which is produced by the listener ...
Luther Dixon : August-7-1931 - January 22 2009
Mama says, when you kiss my lips
I'll get a thrill through my fingertips
Yeah-yeah. (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)
Hey-hey (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)
Hey-hey (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)
Hey! (Shot-shoo-bop, shot-shot-shoo-bop)
Please say you do (Shot-shoo-bop, bop)

Teach your eyes to look out
Teach your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner
Where the coast is clear
& wait

Until you've seen
That light go green

Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad,
¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
Una voz antigua de viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar

Up above my head (up above my head)

Up above my head (up above my head)
I hear music in the air (I hear music in the air)
I really do believe, I really do believe there's a Heaven somewhere.
