This is a compilation of 3 songs in a series of song poems I have on Tailcast http://edro.tailcast.com/ . The songs tell the saga of The Birds, Tawitor and Blubelle, as Tawitor goes to war against the enemy to save his flock. The first song is Summer Day ( not published(, the second Blubelle's Second Dream, and the third Pre-Battle.

Spacetime, Einstein
It's funny how we don't think about it
It's just a line

Some see it as a trophy
because they can remember
An equation they really don't understand

But we're losing our lives
just a drip at a time
There I've gone and said it

Are we gonna lose our way beacuse you're over there and...
Here I just wanna say sometimes we let time get in our way
Sometimes we let time get in our way

Spacetime, Einstein
We don't think about it quite enough
Somebody should have shown me more way back when
But I never had a neighbor that was a poet when I needed him

Spacetime, Einstein
Maybe we're not as far apart as we think
Come right over here baby, it just looks like a long way
But I can touch you from here

It's not what it looks like
It's not what it seems
Freeze all your thoughts for just one minute
and count all the things you see

Space, Space
Sometimes we just let it get in our way
Space, Space
Just gets in our way

Spacetime, Einstein
Do we really know what he was thinkin' about
Sometimes I think I know what's in your mind
Sometimes I don't have the time to figure it all out

Hit the HQ button on this one! My interpretation of a song by slippereal...couldn't match his wonderful style, so wandered my own eccentric way. Hopefully not too far.

Lyrics (from the original; slightly modified in my version):

you say it's hard luck when two new worlds just collide
but you can hide inside the shadow where you used to play outside
on down the street inside your mind outside your thoughts above your dreams
you will be everything but what you are
a secret blackbird out among the stars

it's an illusion all of the souls that we think that we own
and now the people that you least expect
are spyin on you for the government
but there are sweet things in the springfires of your mind
i know there's something in the way you kiss
and bite his lips with savage tenderness

it's been such a long time since you crawled out of your mind
into the world of love and death
and left the snakeskin of your loneliness behind
i left my front tooth on the back seat of the bus
and never looked back when i walked into
the streets the sun the people and the dust

This song is by Muscovy of which timelapse19 http://www.youtube.com/user/ti melapse19 is a member. Go check it out to hear it done by two excellent musicians.

Also, acousticriffer has a smoking hot version you gotta hear and be sure to subscribe while there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =UPiasMC_t8U

I have another version with better vocals at: http://www.tailcast.com/audio- edro-muscovy-cover-just-for-a- moment-24557.html?coming=work- 1435

The flick consists of some clips my Dad made of his home town on his last visit from Florida before he passed. I always meant to put a properly edited version together for him It's a charming little rural place in the Finger Lakes region of New York

Calculus. It will open up your mind.

My whole world changed when I discovered calculus
Yes, the world weren't the same anymore
All the girls used to ask me just how it felt when we were doing calculus
Well I was involved, should I tell them about my feeling
They knew how it felt as well as I
It was all so distracting

Well Bob once said among his many famous quotes
If you're not busy being born you're busy dying
Well I never thought Bob was one you could say would be a lyin' to ya
I always trusted Bob back then

But one day I went to a another town nearby
All the fellas there they said algebra's the way
They were so backwards and Neanderthal
It was if I had discovered cavemen in my time

Because my whole world changed when I discovered calculus
My world was never quite the same
And even though the girls would ask how it felt
They were looking in my eyes
I think they could see, don't you

So, I suggest if youre having problems telling Ma that you're only sighing
You try a little calculus
It might just open up your eyes
The world can change for everyone
I wish you luck with calculus

Maybe your world will turn out, turn out like mine
Oh, try a little calculus
It'll open up your mind
A little calculus
It will open up your mind
A little calculus
It worked for me
Im fine

Original song

You looked at me with those big brown eyes
As if to say are you ever gonna be my lovin' one
Will you be the one?

Well sometimes baby you just got to believe in something
or at least someone, sometimes
You just got to believe

If you love someone and get your heart set straight
Sometimes you just got to believe that you, you'll be the one
Baby you're the one

This thing between you and me
it was destiny you see
Ja had it planned since the beginning of time

Listen, listen when I say
One give me everything
Yes, you got to give me everything every day

Then two, give a little more baby
Give me just a little more
Please give your love to me every day

This thing between you and me
it was destiny you see
Ja had it planned since the beginning of time

So listen when I say
Give your love each day
Give me all of your love, all of your love

Give me your love, give your heart to me
And I'l love you forever
To the end of time

Believe me when I say baby
You're everything I hoped you be
In my dreams I could never want more

You're my winter, summer, fall, and spring
You're oh you are everything
I could never ever, ever want more

Give me everything, everything now
Give me your heartbreak give me dreams
Oh please give me everything

Give me all your love, give me all your loving
Will you be mine all of the time?
Give me your sweet love

Give me all your heart, give me everything
All of your love, all of your lovin'
Give it to me

Give me all your lovin'
Give me all your lovin'
Be sweet to me, and I will love you for all of your life

Give me your love, give me all your love
Baby, when i hold you
Hold me too

Baby I love you
Give my heart my soul, everything
Give me your lovin', give me your love

Inspired by the story "After" at

I like this musical take better, but don't feel like redoing the video:

Four plus four years I've suffered here
I didn't think things could get much worse, but they have
Oh Maggie dear won't you please reach out your hand
I could use a little loving, I hear people suffering all over the land
But maybe I'm suffering just a little more than those up in Washington
Or New York City out here in these prairie lands. Times are tough, times are gonna get much rougher out here

Give me hope hope hope hope

They say come January, things are gonna get better,
they say things will change for the better,
I don't know have we dug ourselves a hole that's just too deep
Oh Maggie dear, I know I'm suffering maybe a little more than some
Maybe more than those up in Washington
Or New York City,

out in these windswept lands, times are tough
and I hear they're gonna get a little bit tougher still
they're gonna test our mettle,
they're gonna see just what we can endure out here on the plain

Give me hope hope hope hope


Oh Maggie dear, they say these are the worst times since the great depression
Oh I don't know, I wasn't around back then, but I hear the tales of people begging on the street for just a loaf a bread or a little bite of meat
I hope against hope what everybody says up in Washington gonna come true
'Bout how everything gonna get better, Maggie for me and you, gonna come true

Give me hope hope hope hope hope

This was lost from the Tube when I accidently deleted 15 of my videos.
Back by popular demand. A homage to a tribute by Dimio2:

It's on a uke, how could it not be happy?

Not to Fail You

I'm determined not to fail you
If only this despair did not avail you
For it feels like machine guns firing across my brow
on some dark desert night

I don't want to hear your story
I don't want to pick up the phone

It brings me so much fear and unhappiness tonight
To see your hopes and dreams unwind so completely
Revealing only darkness in your life

Can't you call your brother in California?
Could he come running through the night?
Why'd you ask me to be a soldier in this war,
when every time you have the chance to stand up and fight
you just stumble and retreat once more?

It brings me so much fear and unhappiness
To see your dreams and hopes unravel so completely
Revealing only darkness in your life

Oh your back's against the wall
You seem waiting for the fall
Just give it one more night
Let's both stand here and fight

I'm determined not to fail you
I'm determined not to fail you

Salut-

After listening to Boucrate's slide on St. Jude late last night, I found an unexplored tuning on the old 0-17.

Appréciez!

(Now, don't go testing my Babel Fish skills!)

Well I was traveling across the northern border
As I stumbled into Montréal
I met a skinny little Canadian that was wailing on his guitar

I see you got the blues mister
He said I got them everyday
He, he said I've been doing this for many years
But I'm just about to quit today

I said no no no no mister, please don't quit the blues I say
Oh no no no no he said
The government wants to permit me
And all I want to do is sit out here and play my guitar
Play my guitar for free
Oh oh oh oh oh

Well, as I listened to his music
As he inspired me that day
How all you poor, poor, poor French Canadians have struggled
To make yourselves what you are today
Oh oh oh oh
To make yourselves what you are today
It's bound to make you want to play the blues

Well, I heard he went on to become some kind of international video star
But I'm happy to see he never stopped playing that guitar

And me
I only hope that I
Can play my guitar
Like that little French Canadian
That played on the streets of Montréal
So many, many, many years ago
