Miranda's Fifth Album - Empire - WOW!!! - "Águas De Março"

Miranda the Mermaid is continuing to share her hero’s journey of learning the guitar. Her mystical guide is none other than Machiavelli Imperial, Elvis Costello. His teaching tool, How To Play Guitar And Y, is available wherever you buy audiobooks. Here’s the link on Amazon.

"Águas de março" was named as the all-time best Brazilian song in a poll of more than 200 Brazilian journalists, musicians and other artists conducted by Brazil's leading daily newspaper, Folha de S.Paulo. It was composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim and is famously sung by Elis Regina and Tom Jobim. Miranda engages in harmonic gymnastics in tackling this beautiful piece, with accompaniment by Tom and Genevieve.

It’s a predatory system that must be challenged by each and every one of us every chance we get.

The lies and crime are coming from a very loaded with money source. I would rather fight every second of my life than give up my soul to their constant scamming. When the majority is as fed up as I am - we will see some big changes. Banning me was a risky move because they are only showing off the whole rigged game for all to see. It has only revealed that they can be brought down at the PR level. They act so afraid because the whole system is really just an illusion cobbled together by a bunch of frightened publicists. Their story is a bunch of BS and that is why I’ve been pushing the true story so hard. It’s vastly more interesting and we can learn so much from it.

Alain Souchon - Rive Gauche

Legendary Steve Nieve is recommending this song.

From Steve Nieve’s Facebook page:

So this first draft AI translation doesn't have any of the delicate poetry and brilliant wordplay of Souchon's text, but you will pick up on all that when you hear the song and the melancholy of his voice. "there's a story in his voice" ... Rive Gauche.

The songs of Prévert

Come back to me

And from VerLaine, the whispers

From Leo Ferré the cries

The storm

Boris Vian it is written

With a blast of trumpet

Left Bank in Paris

Farewell my country

Of music and poetry

The ill-behaved merchants

Who elsewhere have already taken everything

Come to sell their clothes in bookshops

In bookstores

As tender the night can be

It dissolves anyway

Oh my Zelda it is finished

Montparnasse

Miles Davis ringing

His Gréco

All the Morrison's

Their Nico

Left Bank in Paris

Oh my island, oh my country

Of music and poetry

Of art and freedom

She was taken, she is taken

She's going to die no matter what we try

And my song melancholizes her

Life is theater

And memories

But we are obstinate

Refusing to die

Hanging out on the shore

Come and see

It looks like Jane and Serge

On the Pont des Arts

Left Bank in Paris

Goodbye my country

Goodbye jazz goodbye night

A state in a state of mind

Treated with contempt

Like Quebec by the United States

Like us too

Ah, the contempt

Le Mepris

. . .

Steve Nieve says:

I would love my anglo friends to discover the songs of Alain Souchon. The lyrics and melodies of Souchon's chansons are so beautiful. He has one of the most moving singing voices. So... I want to share some of his songs here beginning with this one, Rive Gauche, which is about the poetry of the left bank of Paris which will soon disappear altogether, swallowed up by the commerce..

Here is the french lyric:

Les chansons de Prévert

Me reviennent

De tous les souffleurs de Verlaine

Du vieux Ferré les cris

La tempête

Boris Vian ça s'écrit

À la trompette

Rive Gauche à Paris

Adieu mon pays

De musique et de poésie

Les marchands malappris

Qui ailleurs ont déjà tout pris

Viennent vendre leurs habits en librairie

En librairie

Si tendre soit la nuit

Elle passe

Oh ma Zelda c'est fini

Montparnasse

Miles Davis qui sonne

Sa Gréco

Tous les Morrison

Leur Nico

Rive Gauche à Paris

Oh mon île, oh mon pays

De musique et de poésie

D'art et de liberté éprise

Elle s'est fait prendre, elle est prise

Elle va mourir quoi qu'on en dise

Et ma chanson la mélancolise

La vie c'est du théâtre

Et des souvenirs

Mais nous sommes opiniâtres

À ne pas mourir

À traîner sur les berges

Venez voir

On dirait Jane et Serge

Sur le pont des Arts

Rive Gauche à Paris

Adieu mon pays

Adieu le jazz adieu la nuit

Un État dans l'état d'esprit

Traité par le mépris

Comme le Québec par les États-Unis

Comme nous aussi

Ah! Le mépris

Ah! Le mépris

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Possession

A new short popped up on EC’s channel.

Possession lyrics

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything that you need
There's no need to be evasive
Money talks and it's persuasive
Possession

Now you're sending me your best wishes
Signed with love and vicious kisses
You lack lust, you're so lacklustre
Is that all the strength you can muster?
Possession

Even when we are out of touch
Now I know that I've seen too much
Seen too much

So I see us lying back to back
My case is closed, my case is packed
I'll get out before the violence
Or the tears or the silence
Possession

What they do requires enormous subtlety and that’s all gone now.

They try to fool people the enemy within is a few rogues here and there - it’s the slaver kingpin and he is easily identified. Follow the money that funds terrorism, mind control and war mongering. Resistance needs to rise up from below because that’s the slaver kingpin’s foundation - a duped public. He cannot reign without sovereignty and so far he has been manufacturing sovereignty through deceiving the public. That empire runs on PR tricks.

Why he has to hurt and subvert me within the pact that he very much wants to exit.

Why has wealthy organized satanism been against me for so long - even before I even imagined such an entity could control so very much?
