Please, please, please, let me get what I want

 

"Tell me when to go" by Trackademicks

 

A ethereal rap song as I go back to work tomorrow.  

 

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown
Where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

 

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours
You are mine

 

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed

 
And You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours
And You are mine (You are mine)

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
And take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
And take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

 

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

 

Oh, Jesus, You're my God

 

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours
And You are mine

Meklit & Quinn

I first heard Meklit Hadero some years ago at a KFOG concert. We got to see her with Quinn DeVeaux at Yoshi’s this past Tuesday. What a treat! The show was largely covers of songs of which I was unfamiliar. The duo had an endearing and playful chemistry. They complemented each other with music, part soul, jazz, folk, was heartfelt and just infectiously delightful. Her clear voice hit on notes in a playful and commanding way, while Quinn’s smoky voice went well with New Orlean’s jazzy notes. It was inspiring to see someone who loves to do what they do and share it with others. As their poster quotes Matthew Forss review: “The music is not rock or folk; it’s just good music with good instrumentation. It’s that simple … and delectable.”

We got to meet the artists afterwards but the best was meeting Meklit’s father who came from Florida with his girlfriend. He was such a happy and proud father.

Para todos los Sebastianes y locos que sea entregan totalmente a conquistar su amor aunque se ilusionario. Para eso fuimos creados: para amar y ser amados.

"Sebastian"

En cada barrio hay, por lo menos, un loco.

El del nuestro se llamaba "Sebastián".

Lavaba carros y hacía de todo un poco,

Para ganarse el pan.

"Sebastian" tenía una novia imaginaria,

Y con ella discutía sin cesar.

Se ataba al cuello una capa hecha de trapos

Y corriendo por las calles lo escuchábamos gritar:

"Sebastian, si me quieres conquistar,

Sólo las estrellas bastarán;

Sólo las estrellas bastarán".

En cada loco hay, por lo menos, un sueño.

Ser amado era el ideal de "Sebastian"

Con papel, lata, cartón y mucho empeño

Comenzó su plan.

Por amor alucinando, implacable,

Fue creando la más grande super nave espacial,

Para irse con su novia,

"De nuestro barrio de mierda hacia el mundo sideral".

En cada sueño hay, por lo menos, un drama,

Y en angustias se enredaba "Sebastian".

Una noche, cuando con el cielo hablaba,

Sobre el horizonte vio una luz cruzar.

Feliz gritó, - "espérame" -

Y lo vi correr lanzándose en el mar,

Tratando aquel destello recobrar,

Porque "Sólo las estrellas bastarán;

Sólo las estrellas bastarán!"

Sobre la arena sucia de la playa del mercado

Hay una vaina que parece un proyectil.

De sus alas cuelga una capa de trapos;

De su sombra, una soledad sin fin.

Su novia imaginaria aún lo espera.

En las noches hace guardia, frente al mar.

Nadie la conquistará.

A ninguna otra ilusión se entregará,

Fiel al loco que le dió la Eternidad,

Porque sólo las estrellas bastarán.

Sólo las estrellas bastarán:

Sólo las estrellas bastarán!
