Paraná is dead
No more river
No more fishes
No more electic power

Soybeans are down
Money won't flow
And with the dying river
Hell's gonna blow

Paraná is dead
No more river
No more fishes
No more electic power

Turned into a desert
A land once so green
A place of waterfalls
Now just a dream

Paraná is dead
No more river
No more fishes
No more electic power

Soybeans are down
Money won't flow
And with the dying river
Hell's gonna blow

What kind of 'sound'-mood are you going to do with your lyrics?

I will always going to have two sides of my musical self, the one sensitive, romantic, soft, calm. And the other raw, angry, intense, powerful. And I roam occasionally between both every once in a while.

I'm making a couple of records at the moment, now that I'm fully vaccinated, and the cases have been low recently, so I'm moving now before a third wave comes.

It's one of Leonard Cohen's performance--- but/and in this one, before his singing, he made a little speech about the writing his song 'Suzanne'.

In what he said--
He basically posts some counsel to poets/writers/lyricists/actitivists, that they must NOT forget the beginning 'how and why' the song/words were born.

He went on to describe the evolution OF this particular song he created.

It happened to get noticed and as it shot high in popularity, he includes how other parts of 'the business' grabbed greater and greater control and hold of it. {Some of Cohen's work took some eye-opening twists and changes. He had been 'tricked' out of receiving money for his song 'Hallelujah'. He "trusted" {a folk-singer celebrity "friend," and his other 'friends' in the business. They stole from him!}

So, back to what he said in THIS vid, he spoke of the politics of 'money' behind having a song rise so high in popularity. Seems he was glad the song honors the lady it was written about and for, yet I hear some slight cynical sorrowful remorse about what he's 'seen' happen 'in the business'.

Remember within you to capture, frame, and protect (in your memory) the 'birth place' of your songs, your poem, your writings, ALWAYS.

I recall some posts we've done in other threads you've done here. I hope you are still keeping files on the Originals of your work, and that you have dated those, keeping them.

I hope you have written some paragraphs, notes, about your pieces-- reminding self of the circumstances under which each (that you choose to hold important) was written.
