Mastered using ozone 11

Meet me on the corner

Of Renfield and of West Georges, lane I’m told,

Let us wander in the rain, on streets that glisten gold,

Talkin traffic, walking home

Meet me in the station

The sweetest sense of fuel, ignites the very soul,

The sound of engines, People talking,

On the Square, where heads they once did roll.

City of dreams,

The likes of which you’ve never seen,

The curtain falls, our gift to all,

The people we have been,

Boarded windows, Empty houses,

Blackened buildings, broken homes

Meet me on the quayside,

that launched and hauled the earth across Pacific seas,

We’ll take a boat ride, down the water

And gaze upon the firth, and on the Clyde.

The Tempus Collective - Ritual Matters by Stewart Grieve

"Send In the Clowns" is a song written by Stephen Sondheim for the 1973 musical A Little Night Music, an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1955 film Smiles of a Summer Night. It is a ballad from Act Two, in which the character Desirée reflects on the ironies and disappointments of her life. Among other things, she looks back on an affair years earlier with the lawyer Fredrik, who was deeply in love with her, but whose marriage proposals she had rejected. Meeting him after so long, she realizes she is in love with him and finally ready to marry him, but now it is he who rejects her: He is in an unconsummated marriage with a much younger woman. Desirée proposes marriage to rescue him from this situation, but he declines, citing his dedication to his bride. Reacting to his rejection, Desirée sings this song. The song is later reprised as a coda after Fredrik's young wife runs away with his son, and Fredrik is finally free to accept Desirée's offer.[1]

Sondheim wrote the song specifically for Glynis Johns, who created the role of Desirée on Broadway. The song is structured with four verses and a bridge, and uses a complex compound meter. It became Sondheim's most popular song after Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1973 and Judy Collins' version charted in 1975 and 1977. Subsequently, numerous other artists recorded the song, and it has become a standard.

This is our version with a Tempus twist.

Just messing about with this classic.

This is a re-imagining of the track we first released two years ago, we were not happy with a lot of it, mix not right, vocal not really what Kev wanted in places and the whole thing was a bit muddy sounding, so I've changed a lot of the instrumentation, laid down better guitars and bass, plus with more modern plugins and 2 more years experience in production techniques this is now a totally different sounding beast.

Strange love, is rare,

Embrace it if you dare,

Strange loves, can fade,

With a pocket full of tears,

Wept through all those years,

And a suitcase, full of dreams,

Empty now, or so it seems,

I stopped the rain fall, I stood to face all,

I rise again, I rise again

Strangers and neighbours, updated status,

Taking their chance, Like your never gonna get again

I stopped the rain fall, I stood to face all,

I rise again, I rise again

If you ever find a way to feel, You can really work and make it real,

Should I ever make a move for you, you can love me if you feel it too

I stopped the rain fall, I stood to face all,

I rise again, I rise again X 2

So love breaks

you Hide away,

Rise up, shout out (Rising)

Shine on, move on (Rising)

Break free, with me, (Rising)

Stand and face up, leave it this way...

This is an old track taken off one of Japans best albums, "Quiet Life" It remains one of my personal favourites.

Redemption:

All the prayers I've made

On this cold September day

Has the call been heard

Or just failed send.

All the faith I've shared

Has it changed this world

Dictatorships and power trips

Religious words that contradict

I've rid myself from all that's free

The bourbon that's from Tennessee

The cigarettes, the girls, the weed,

Yet still you turn your back to me.

Should you forgive me

Then I shan’t fear you

Please don't regret me

Or shed no tear.....

Please don't forsake me

For I have loved you

Please don’t forget me,

When I have gone .......

Stop all the songs, Hold all those phones,

Roll out the Christmas parade.

Bring in the day, The old fashioned way,

Never afraid.

There's a Mountain, ahead

We can move it, Should we dare,

To take, The chance,

Of all, life's gifts

This is the one,

You have become, the sun that shone,

The whole day through,

I will be home,

The road maybe long, before the Hope

Is gone to soon

I was standing in the Gutter,

Living like no other,

Everyone could see,

You were talking with a stranger,

Living life in danger,

Of all the things you’d be.

Lock all the doors, surrender the cause,

Stop all the songs, that breaks in your heart,

First track we have made in almost 2 years due to the Covid epidemic.
