Kevin Browne: Songs

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Immovable concerns being able to make clear and logical choices every time I’m confronted by difficult situations. Unfortunately, I don’t always accomplish that. Anger and apathy are difficult to overcome.

I paid tribute to Edvard Grieg, the Norwegian composer, with a little mandolin theme. Listen for it. Leon Olguin, as usual, picked up some of my mandolin themes and wove them together for a nice sound. The wizard at work again. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for listening.

I desire to be strong, hold fast against the storm

When others have gone - immovable

 

But anger spins me, turns me out again

Spiraling ever faster down and then

I once again wonder, how to begin

With this ever present rage that exposes my sin – and I fall

 

I desire to be kind, hold firm, hold the line

Always of sound mind – immovable

 

But feebleness and apathy envelope me when

I try to resist, but so easily bend

I once again wonder, how to begin

But I keep walking backwards again and again – and I fall…I fall

 

I desire to be strong, hold ground, hold it long

When others have gone – immovable

I desire to be strong, hold fast against the storm

When others have gone - immovable
