(Above, me having a think about lost rainbows, all the time taking care not to fall off the edge of the cliff into a watery grave)
WHERE HAVE ALL THE RAINBOWS GONE?
On the day the Ice Caps melted
The sun swallowed a swollen sea
No rain from Africa to Eurasia
No springtime blossom on the Cherry Tree
The wheat, the maize, the grains dried and died
No more the rainforest of the Amazon
The last human left alive looks up
Says, ‘Where have all the rainbows gone?’
My song is not a warning
Believe it, it’s far too late
Mankind’s ways of greed and war
Has defined Mankind’s death wish fate
Rainbow’s End will stay a secret
For forever and a day
“Where have all the rainbows gone?”
The last thing the last human will get to say
Time for something a little brighter; something with ‘magic’ in it – my song ‘Rexie Believes in Magic’. I hope you like it;

The ‘Dream Rescuer’ album from which this song comes from is available for download at https://zoolon.bandcamp.com/
Next the genius that is Agnes Obel with her song ‘Riverside’. The mood of the piano is a work of art in itself;

Both the music pieces are gorgeous!

That’s true. It’s like watching pinball without the ball seeing them all bumping into each other and innocent inanimate objects.
