Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,Tom Patterson Date: 23 Aug 21 - 08:16 PM August 24th 1917A song that recalls an incident in Blyth, Northumberland where young soldiers of the Warwickshire Regiment were preparing for service in the First World War. BLYTH SANDS The sun was out early that warm August day Our Warwickshire lads had been sent far away To a camp in the North East preparing for war Most not yet twenty so young and so raw. They'd been marching all morning in sweltering heat Sweating, exhausted half dead on their feet Arriving at Blyth Town they were ordered to rest Bathe in the North Sea before their next test. Six hundred soldiers ran onto the beach Laughing and joking along the tide's reach But the joy of that moment would soon turn to grief When the pull of the current took men underneath. Lt Colonel Chatterley sat high on his horse Anxiously watching more waves changing course His charges were swimming near to the land But the wild swirling sea was beyond his command Sgt John Riley was just back from France He dived in to save them but stood little chance Some waded out bravely grabbed five with their hands But nine lives were taken that day on Blyth Sands. The youngest to die was a boy from Kings Heath His father stood dumbstruck in sheer disbelief "This cannot have happened", poor Mrs Blunn said She couldn't accept that her Jesse was dead. At the inquest on Monday there were questions to ask Coroner Rutherford had the sad task "To swim there was madness", one fisherman claimed But the jury decided no one should be blamed. Lt Colonel Chatterley etc Tom Patterson This song is on You Tube at Tom Patterson Singer Songwriter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7iga4_SC0s |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 23 Aug 21 - 05:42 PM WHITBY SOUVENIRS In the early hours of morning At the end of an August day. I went down to take a farewell walk, By the sands of Whitby Bay. The summer sun still lingered there, On the breath of the dreaming sea, And the waves were turning, half awake, As I walked along to the quay.
I went out along the West Pier,
In the darkness I stood gazing,
In the early hours of morning |

If you need it..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4DeQrKoIAY They're waking up Maria 'Cause everybody else has got someplace to go She makes a little motion with her head Rolls over, and says she's gonna sleep For a couple minutes more I said I'm sorry to Maria For the cold-hearted thing that I have done I've said I'm sorry by now, at least once To just about everyone She says, "I have forgotten what I'm supposed to do today" And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say We're getting older and older and older and older And always a little further out of the way You look into her eyes And it's more than your heart will allow In August and everything after You get a little less than you expected somehow Well, I stumbled into Washington Square Just as the sun began to rise And I walked across the lawn to the cathedral And I lay down in the shadow of St. Mary's in the sky I'm just one of these late model children Waiting for the king But there ain't no sign of Elvis in San Francisco It's just me and I'm playing this rock and roll thing She wants to be just like me And I want every damn thing that I can see You know, one day you're Daddy's little angel The next day, you're everything he wanted you to be They dress you up in white satin And they give you your very own pair of wings In August and everything after I'm after everything Well, I got my reservations And I got my seven-million dollar home I got the number of some girl in North Dakota Who's always wide awake So I never have to spend the night alone I got this nasty little habit Of peeking down the shirts of all the little girls As they pass me by And I know you wonder when it all catches up to me And they finally bring me down Do you think I'm gonna cry? Well listen, I already got my disease So get your fucking filthy hands off of me I hope you weren't expecting me to be crucified The best that they can do Is just to hang me from the nearest tree It's midnight in San Francisco And I'm waiting here for Jesus on my knees In August and everything after I need somebody else to bleed for me In August and everything after I need somebody else to bleed for me Well, I came down from San Francisco Because I had confidence and a military mind But now everyone I know is turning showgirl And dancing with their shirt off In some Las Vegas hotel line So I'm going to New York City Cause it got a little sleazy here for me And when I find myself alone You know I'm never going home You make the changes The changes that you need But I no longer know how to pray I live in a dog town and it's a Dalmatian parade I change my spots over and over But they never seem to fade away I am the last remaining Indian Looking for the place where the buffalo roam In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never coming home In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't They ain't never coming home No In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never coming home |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 08 Aug 21 - 12:04 PM another one to add to the Hiroshima songs is ZHURAVLI / CRANES https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=106885#2211631 In the author Rasul Gamzatov's native Dagestan, there is a an annual White Cranes Festival held 22 Oct, so I should remember to also add the song to the Oct song list when it starts. There is yet another August connection as well as Hiroshima, however, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuravli "The poem's publication in the journal Novy Mir caught the attention of the famous actor and crooner Mark Bernes who revised the lyrics and asked Yan Frenkel to compose the music. When Frenkel first played his new song, Bernes (who was by then suffering from lung cancer) cried because he felt that this song was about his own fate: 'There is a small empty spot in the crane flock. Maybe it is reserved for me. One day I will join them, and from the skies I will call on all of you whom I had left on earth.' The song was recorded from the first attempt on 9 July 1969. Bernes died on 16 August 1969, about five weeks after recording the song, and the recording was played at his funeral. Later on,'Zhuravli' would most often be performed by Joseph Kobzon. According to Frenkel, 'Cranes' was Bernes' last record, his 'true swan song.'" A link to more Hiroshima themed songs |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Jul 21 - 05:39 AM HARES ON THE MOUNTAIN There's Hares On The Mountain, as considerably (and tenderly) rewritten by Chris Wood, with the bit about enjoying your ice-cream in the hot August sun and getting nothing done: If all you young girls were like hares on the mountain We'd soon get our boots on and go out a-walking. But if all you young girls were like swans in the water We'd soon take those boots off and dive in there after. And if all you young girls were like stars in the dark We'd chase round the world to avoid the dawn's spark. And if all you young girls were like the sun in the morning We'd sit bleary-eyed just to see the day dawning. And if all you young girls were like rain from the sky We'd stand out in T-shirts and shun all things dry. And if all you young girls were like the hot August sun Then we'd sit out with ice-cream and get nothing done. And if all you young girls flew south like the swallow There's be nothing for it but to up sticks and follow. But if all you young girls were like my own true lover Then all you young men would love them as I love her. There's a Youtube of him and Andy Cutting singing it in a folk club. It's very grainy but it's wonderful. Chris Wood & Andy Cutting - Hares On The Mountain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDsWOZz3eec |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: leeneia Date: 28 Jul 21 - 01:14 AM SONG OF THE DOG DAYS Here are the lyrics to my "Dog Days Song." It doesn't specify August, but what can I say. Song of the Dog Days - to the tune of The Four Maries 1.The weatherman warns of the heat wave; with cirrus like feathers on high, while the towering form of a thunderstorm surges up in southeastern sky. 2. The grasshoppers buzz by the roadside so lively, despite the long drought, and starlings wheel over yellow fields getting ready to head for the South. 3. So why do we call these the dog days? In the heat there is nary a breeze. And a sane dog's goal is a nice cool hole in the shade of the big leafy trees. 4. The butterflies visit the zinnias, [ZEEN yahs] soft orange, bright yellow and tan. There's the ghostly blur of a hummingbird finding nectar wherever it can. 5. The songbirds have gone into hiding while distant coyotes give tongue, and a redtail cries from the pale blue skies keeping track of its wandering young. 6. Come up on the porch, and we'll visit. We'll all have a glass of iced tea. There's Mary Lou and Peggy Sue and Mrs. Carmichael and me. ================ Creative Commons License: Song of the Dog Days lyrics by Eileen KCMO Chase is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. |
