Helpless (with Chopin) by Gom Jabbar published on 2024-03-17T19:22:11Z A respectfully irreverent reimagining of Frédéric Chopin's Waltz Op. 64 No. 1 aka Valse Du Petit Chien aka Minute Waltz. the first and last feeling is "helpless" with a lot of "helpless" in between I wish I could say some things don’t decay how I wish I could tell you our efforts have value but judging from everything that I’ve seen the brave & depraved the selfish & selfless it’s best if we feel all festive & glad given we range between helpless & mad yeah we'd better be incredibly un-upset and un-sad given the difference ‘tween helpless & dead my child, my sweet my yellow-brown flower when the woods gonna burn not a winter can stop it we’ve all got this suboptimal urge to control but the what when where how & why are not in our power yeah, shut down the garden the first and last feeling is "helpless" with a lot of helplessness in between I wish I could tell you oh, one more rebellion for wisdom & might to make things alright but lying to you will not change the theme my love, my cold blue spring in the desert when the sky’s gonna turn not a beauty can tempt it we’ve all got this contemptible urge to decide and the stab wounds & scars are not even a lesson— we just muck about in our gardens our first and last feeling is "helpless" and it doesn’t change much in between as you spin in your circle of fairness remember to hum with the theme how lucky regardless of getting punched down trees in the forest enjoying their sound so what does it matter how tiny my reach? as long as I’m honest you’ll pardon my speech the aimless & friendless the babbling saved the bumbling faithless the child who’s behaved we rhyme the same reason we write the same song— ain’t none of us has to be helpless alone Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Trial & Error Epic 👌 2024-05-19T12:54:57Z Comment by Jeán et Joie Wonderful Chopin with some unique balladeering 2024-05-11T05:06:02Z Comment by D M Williams Great song.
