http://twiturm.com/rkfv2

here is one verse and chorus of Ghosts Dont Cry - inspired by VOLVER.
A rough mix with a demo vocal, you'll hear the rest on Sunday when they are all finished.

BE STILL

In order to write,  i have to do only 2 things.

1. stay in one spot and be still
2. have a quiet mind

Sounds easy doesnt it.
For someone who lives on coffee and cigarettes, doesnt meditate, spends an awful lot of time in self obsession and has an ego the size of a dragon - its not so easy.

But once i get out of my own way, its not so bad. xxxxxxx

VOLVER IN PROGRESS

lyrics so far - first draft - unedited and not complete -

GHOSTS DON’T CRY

VOLVER

You thought that I was dead

But underneath the bed, I hide.

Laying flowers on my grave

The east wind blows the years away

So unkind

Im so sorry that I lied,

I had no choice, I had to hide

And leave the ashes far behind me.

The other lovers I forgave

I always looked another way

And didn’t see the sin before me

Behind these shuttered windows

Ev’ry day I live In purgatory/endless guilt

For being blind to such a crime,

Till you embrace me,

Ev’ry day I’ll die

But now I hope you’ll understand

The bloody knife still in your hand

Your husband in the freezer

The devil burning in his bed

He didn’t wake till he was dead

After all he could to please her

VOICE OVER IN SPANISH –

“I NEED YOU MUM

I DON’T KNOW HOW IVE LIVED ALL THESE YEARS WITHOUT YOU

DON’T SAY THAT

I’LL START TO CRY

AND GHOSTS DON’T CRY”

I could feel how you despised

I saw the hatred in your eyes

But  Couldn’t hear the silence

I understand you had to leave

And take the secret far from me,

Your sister child inside you.

Behind this door I’ll be

With you across the street from me,

We’ll hide.

Ev’ry kiss, a minute made

From fourteen years of empty space inside.

So the sinners turn to dust,

The victims of a deadly lust

GHOSTS DON'T CRY - VOLVER

Having coffee break. Have made real headway with the lyrics to VOLVER.
here i will share with you the first 2 lines  -

IT BEGINS

Up early - washed and dressed, and about to go down into my studio.
dont know what i will start on first. But i have a terrier, a coffee and a pen.
thats all you could ever need.
r x

TIE ME UP,

TIE ME UP, TIE ME DOWN,
CALL ME A WHORE,
I'LL CALL YOU A CLOWN

PURE GENIUS

STUDIO IN WAITING

Watched VOLVER last night. If  i hadnt worked in a crematorium for 2 years, i would have cried.

VALBONNE AND SKRAPOVSKY

Lunch today in Valbonne - heaven. Meet Skrappy - lovingly called Skrapovsky by my friend Zanna who takes care of him when i am in england. he was a runt - no one wanted him. he weighs one kilo and his eyes are too far apart. when i found him, he was also a little bald on top and was more rat than dog. i adore him. hes a mess.

I LOVE SHUTTERS

i dont know why - but i do. there is a fabulous little restaurant in the old town square here where i drink strong coffee and smoke. Im sure i will write some of the lyrics for Almodovar whilst i sit right here. It is run by the most adorable people who treat me like a star and are very sweet about my bad french. they smile kindly as i tell them that in london i am a golden retriever and that i love to snow in the morning.

TECH NIGHTMARE AND TIGERS

My demo rig has crashed - and in my cinema, the HDMI cable is buggered and ive got no audio on my DVD. so as amusing as it is watching nuns smoking crack pipes with a prostitute with no sound - id better wait. and to top it all, i seem to be wearing a purple jumpsuit and my head feels strange. i admit defeat - for now - and will resume manana.

PREPARATION

I HAVE PREPARED THE STUDIO AND WRITING ROOM HERE IN FRANCE - GETTING READY TO CREATE

UPDATE - HAVE WIRED UP MY STUDIO AND DOING A TEST TONIGHT - 

AM SURE THERE WILL BE A GHOST IN THE MACHINE?
