‘Black Knight, Dark Day’
GET LOST
A strange voice talking at me
Says they know all there is to know
Forgetting I’m not an android
Me? I’m just a one man show
You can walk me to the cliff edge
I might surprise you and take the leap
One thing is for certain
I’ll never go begging at your feet
You say Suzie was once a vampire
Jane she played away
Emma got lost in triumph
Jessie, she had her say
I’m looking out for dinosaurs
And other relics of the past
I could have told you black was white
But you never asked
A piano piece I composed a while back. It’s called ‘Prohibition’. Hope you enjoy;
To brighten the day a pic from the farm cafe where I had breakfast earlier;
‘Sydney the Shetland from the farm up the road’
Best ever Rolling Stones number? I’m not a great fan but I like this one;

Truly lovely, the piano piece took me away 🙂 And naturally I enjoyed picture of Sydney, the Shetland pony! Wonderfully composed, overall, as usual 🙂

Thanks, Ka. Sadly, Sydney is bossed around big time by Jeff the stunningly beautiful black pony…I thought was a female at first, then spotted I was wrong…who also bosses Ted the Donkey. I think Sydney should be moved to a field of regular horses so he can make a few mates and start to enjoy himself a bit ~ George

George this is truly an amazing composition in music and poetic words. Someone should grab you up and make a documentary film. Awesome! Wow, your creative works are so diverse.. Have a great day George! AOC

Thanks, I appreciate that. Music is my motivation and always will be, but venturing out of my safety zone is something I enjoy although I don’t always get right. Thanks again ~ George

Hi George, first time to comment but I had too. The line “You can walk me to the cliff edge I might surprise you and take the leap” was exceptional. Admire your style and music. Plus you added my favorite Stones tune. 😉 Have a great day. Daniel

Thanks, Anne. He’s a pleasant little bloke. Not so his mate who bosses him around – bosses the donkey there as well. Thanks again ~ George

Morning George, thanks for stopping by. Read your poetic piece then scrolled down to the piano, returned to the poem with your composition – spaced it out, think you should put it on general release? Stones were of my era still intrigued by their sound.

Thanks, Chris. I’ve got the Prohibition number on my Dream Rescuer album, I put it in for variation between a couple of songs. Glad you liked it. I’m still not sure about the Stones but this number I really like. I think another, Ruby Tuesday is good. If I did covers I’d certainly do a retro take on that one. Thanks again ~ George

Beautiful piano composition, George.
Paint It Black was one of the first Rolling Stones songs I ever heard, or rather, noticed, since I was quite young at that time (1966). It was a great time to live, and there was great music around. It was a peaceful era – people appreciated and enjoyed peace.

Thanks. I do like this number. It work on all levels. I think my old man never left the 60’s; just grew older instead. He says more or less what you’ve just said about it. Thanks again ~ George

So awesome George! My oldest daughter plays the piano and I absolutely love the sound of a piano being played in the house! Such a gorgeous instrument!:)

Curious: Reading your lyric, all I could think of was Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” and Peter Gabriel’s “Frontiers.” It’s the slow build, I think. I could imagine your piano piece as a sort of guitar set, too, like a dialogue. Lovely work as always 🙂

Thanks. I’d had no trouble with WP until the last couple of weeks. Now I can see what the fuss was all about – I’m missing a few people I generally follow. I’m paying good money for this website, so it’s time to ask them what’s going on. Thanks again ~ George
