".....

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

And I'll always remember you like a child, girl..."

" 'Western skies' don't make it right

'Home of the brave' don't make no sense

I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire

Left to die on a high ridge fence

It's a cold, cold wind

It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming

See two coyotes run down a deer

Hate what we don't understand

You pioneers give us your children

But it's your blood that stains their hands..."

Slave

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a river running sweat right through our land

Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand

And I've taken just as much as I can stand

Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry

Every day I watch the colonel smile

His painted ladies riding in from town

I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

Slave, slave

To fight the violence we must be brave

Hold on strong to the love God gave

Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come

That may free our families and our sons

It may lay green lands to barren wastes

The price of release is a bitter blow to face

Listen to your heart (and what it has to say) by Walter Vermeulen

"Lookin' out on the evening light

You see the lightnin' and the thunder rollin' in

As you strain to keep that setting sun in sight

Ya start to get that Summer feelin' back again

Of a time

Lost in illusion

Not afraid to cross that line

You say you're searchin' for some common ground

The golden thread that keeps us all together

And you wish these troubled times would turn around

Bring back just a little warmer weather to your life

To shine through the sorrow

And not fade out with the morning light

But you don't have to close your eyes

You don't have to turn away

You can't expect to take the right road every morning

When you start to feel the words get in the way

Listen to your heart

And what it has to say

You say you're lookin' to leave the danger zone

Lookin to leave off all this pain and sorrow

And you hate so much to live your life alone

But with half a chance you'd say good-bye tomorrow

To be free

From all this confusion

And hav it like it used to be

Soft as a Summer day

Warm as a gentle breeze

Rollin' out across the sea...."

WV1997/2024

"Now everybody has a right to be living their lives

Ooh, but we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

If there is freedom, tell me why everybody wants to fight

Ooh, 'cause we're a long long way, a long way from paradise

You might be strong enough, you might be rich enough

You might be blind enough to push it all aside

No matter what you do, it keeps coming back to me and you

Give a little bit of love and you'll get it back

Give a little bit of pain, you're caught in a trap

For every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love and it'll come back to you

I believe in peace and harmony

You got to believe in love before you can be free

So take a hand, everybody make a friend

I want you to believe in love like I believe

Oh oh-oh-oh oh yeah

Every little thing that you say or do

Give a little bit of love, it'll come back to you..."

Slow Down Georgie (She's Poson)

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1984

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey there Georgie got a couple of things to say

One you're my friend, and two it's hurting me

Seeing you act this way

But my hands are tied and I can only try to talk you out of a fall

`Cause the reputation of the woman you're dating's

About as nasty as the Berlin wall

Slow down Georgie she's poison

Man you've got to watch yourself

She's gonna get in your head, she's gonna crawl in your bed

You're just a stepping stone for someone else

Slow down Georgie she's poison

She's just another divorcee

An undercover lover of a hundred

Other little fish in the sea

You better cut her loose before she gets her hooks in you

If you give her the world, and it was covered in pearls

She'd only ask for the moon

She's got you hypnotised, with her big brown eyes

And a body that could stop a clock

But if you think your face ain't gonna be replaced

Georgie boy you're in for a shock

Well it ain't my job to rain on your parade

But if the chips were down, you'd do the same for me

It's always been that way

She's got you paralysed with a pack of lies

About honour and the single girl

And if you buy that line you must be out of your mind

You must be living in another world

#309 Inspiration For Navigation (23 At 40) by Walter Vermeulen

www.artmajeur.com/waltervermeulen/en/artworks/16586236/in...

Inspired by traveling through Thailand and Laos, I made from an old sketch/drawing from 1996 this digital reworked painting and printed it on canvas.

"Well... Is there anything left

Maybe steak and eggs

Waking up to washing up

Making up your bed

Lazy days my razor blade

Could use a better edge

It's enough to make you laugh

Relax in a nice cool bath

Inspiration for navigation..." (Bernie Taupin lyrics, 1975)

The Future by Walter Vermeulen

WV2026/2025

Coloured pencils (faber-castell) and soft pastel on Steinbach paper...

Things are going to slide in all directions

Won't be nothing, nothing you can measure anymore

The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold

And it's overturned the order of the soul

Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear and cold

It's over, it ain't going any further

And now the wheels of Heaven stop, you feel the devil's riding crop

Get ready for the future: It is murder

There'll be the breaking of the ancient Western code

Your private life will suddenly explode

There'll be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road

And the white man won't dance anymore

Get ready for the future...

Inspired by THE FUTURE, Leonard Cohan, 1992

"Sun child

Awoken by the spirit of the day

Forgot about the engine in the rain

Don't let it bring you down

For us that ain't the way

We'll keep our lives reserved

For those who have to pray

But I can't...."

"Cool grass blowing up the pass

Don't you know I'm feeling mellow

I love your Roman nose, the way you curl your toes baby

Make me feel so mellow

It's the same old feeling I get when you're stealing

Back into my bed again

With the curtains closed and the window froze

By the rhythm of the rain

You make me mellow, you make me mellow

Rocking smooth and slow

Mellow's the feeling that we get

Watching the coal fire glow

You make me mellow, I make you mellow

Wrecking the sheets real fine

Heaven knows what you sent me Lord

But God this is a mellow time

Going down to the stores in town

Getting all the things we need

Don't forget the beer my little dear

It helps to sow the mellow seed

And it can't be bad, all the love I've had

Coursing through my life

Down in the pass where the wind blows fast

And mellow's feeling right..."

Candle In The Wind

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1973

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork

And they whispered into your brain

They set you on the treadmill

And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough

The toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar

And pain was the price you paid

Even when you died

Oh the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say

Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jean

From the young man in the 22nd row

Who sees you as something more than sexual

More than just our Marilyn Monroe

I knew that you would return by Walter Vermeulen

But our holy dreams of yesterday aren't gone

They still haunt us like the ghosts of Babylon

And the breaking of the day might bring you sorrow

You know I may not be around this time tomorrow

But I'll always be with you..."

Every Picture Tells A Story

Music & lyrics by Rod Stewart & Ron Wood 1971

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spent some time feelin' inferior

standing in front of my mirror

Combed my hair in a thousand ways

but I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world

I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave

But remember one thing don't lose your head

to a woman that'll spend your bread"

So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away

if you felt you didn't fit in

French police wouldn't give me no peace

They claimed I was a nasty person

Down along the Left Bank minding my own

Was knocked down by a human stampede

Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot

when all I wanted was a cup of tea

I was accused

I moved on

Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough

of the things that keeps a young man alive

My body stunk but I kept my funk

at a time when I was right out of luck

Getting desperate indeed I was

Looking like a tourist attraction

Oh my dear I better get out of here

'for the Vatican don't give no sanction

I wasn't ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!

On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry

sailing on my way back here

I fell in love with a slit eyed lady

by the light of an eastern moon

Shangai Lil never used the pill

She claimed that it just ain't natural

She took me up on deck and bit my neck

Oh people I was glad I found her

Oh yeah I was glad I found her

I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me

I sincerely thought I was so complete

Look how wrong you can be

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe

They wouldn't give you the time of day

But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet

God I was glad I found her

And if they had the words I could tell to you

to help you on the way down the road

I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats

'cause it's all been said before

Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off

You didn't have to come here anyway

So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

I Want Love

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 2001

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I want love, but it's impossible

A man like me, so irresponsible

A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

I can't love, shot full of holes

Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold

Don't feel nothing, just old scars

Toughening up around my heart

But I want love, just a different kind

I want love, won't break me down

Won't brick me up, won't fence me in

I want a love, that don't mean a thing

That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms

After everything I've ever learned

Me, I carry too much baggage

Oh man I've seen so much traffic

So bring it on, I've been bruised

Don't give me love that's clean and smooth

I'm ready for the rougher stuff

No sweet romance, I've had enough

A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

"My friends wonder why I call you all the time, what can I say?

I don't feel the need to give such secrets away

You think maybe I need help, though I know I'm right, alright

I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice

When they insist on knowing my bliss

I tell them this

When they wanna know what the reason is

I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life

Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist

Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see

Did the night just take up your time 'cause it means more to me

Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want, what I want

Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on

But if you insist on knowing my bliss

I'll tell you this

If you want to know what the reason is

I only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you why

Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life

Because your kiss, your kiss is on my list

Because your kiss, your kiss I can't resist

Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light...."

"In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch

And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left

While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune

A mantle of bright light shone down from a room

Come down in time I still hear her say

So clear in my ear like it was today

Come down in time was the message she gave

Come down in time and I'll meet you half way

Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet

But a true love like hers is a hard love to get

And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call

And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all

There are women and women and some hold you tight

While some leave you counting the stars in the night..."

Music & lyrics by George Harrison 1979

ate it and at once my eyes could see you

No sooner had I ooped it down

I felt so far off from the ground I stood on.

My legs they seemed to me like high-rise buildings

My head was high up in the sky

My skin the sun began to fry like bacon.

And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far . . .

And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala . . .

I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard

There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III

And I'm still smiling

Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools . . .

Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules . . .

You'd better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row . . .

If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now . . .

And I'm still smiling.

I fell in love with my Soft-Hearted Hana

She entered right in through my heart

And now although we're miles apart

I still feel her.

She lives beneath the crater in the meadow

She moves among the fruit and grain

You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen.

Watercolor on Steinbach paper

"... There's a child and a woman

Praying for an end to the mystery

Hoping for a word in a letter

Fair wind-blown from across the sea

To where the mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything.

There's a house on the hillside

Where the drifting sands are born

Lay down and let the slow tide wash me

Back to the land where I came from

Where the mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything

Where the real mountain men are kings

And the sound of the piper counts for everything..."

Gouache & ink on Steinbach paper.

"Times have changed and times are strange

Here I come, but I ain't the same

Mama, I'm coming home

Times gone by, seems to be

You could have been a better friend to me

Mama, I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out

Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah

Lost and found and turned around

By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies

But I can't stand to say goodbye

Mama, I'm coming home

I could be right, I could be wrong

It hurts so bad, it's been so long

Mama, I'm coming home

Selfish love, yeah, we're both alone

The ride before the fall, yeah

But I'm gonna take this heart of stone

I just got to have it all

I've seen your face a hundred times

Everyday we've been apart

I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home

I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out

Yeah, you had me hypnotised, yeah

Lost and found and turned around

By the fire in your eyes

I've seen your face a thousand times

Everyday we've been apart

And I don't care about the sunshine, yeah

'Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home

I'm coming home

I'm coming home...."

Watercolours van Gogh on Steinbach paper.

"I remember when

I was five and you were ten, boy

You knew that I was shy

So you teased and made me cry

But I loved you

Then one day you came

You told me you were leaving

You gave your folks the blame

And made me cry again

When you said

Little girl

Please don't wait for me

Wait patiently for love

Someday will surely come

Ooh, little girl

Please don't wait for me

Wait patiently for love

Someday will surely come

And I'm still waiting

I'm waiting

Ooh, still waiting

I'm just a fool

Ooh, I'm a fool

To keep waiting

Then someone finally came

He told me that he loved me

I put him off with lies

He could see I had no eyes

So he left me once again alone

Like a child without her playmate

I had to face the truth

I was still in love with you

But you said:

Little girl

Please don't wait for me

Wait patiently for love

Someday will surely come

Ooh, little girl

Please don't wait for me

Wait patiently for love

Someday will surely come

And I'm still waiting...."

Ecoline ink & watercolour on Steinbach paper.

"Someday she'll be here, that's a fact

Someday she'll be coming right back

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

But someday she's comin' back, I know

You know I'm ready to see her again

When that someday will never end

When she left with no goodbye

I was stuck with those lonely nights

You know what I mean, it's always the same

Ain't no medicine for that kind of pain

Someday comes and goes away

Bringing me a better day

Ain't no pity, ain't no shame

I hope that someday will come again

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know

Maybe I'm dreaming, I hope it's not so

Somedays' comin', it's comin' I know...."

Acrylic & watercolour on Steinbach paper.

"I'm looking, I'm looking back

I'm trying to imagine this and that

The simple mathematics making up the map

Insurance of protection from immediate collapse

I'm watching, I'm watching you

A voyeur from a different point of view

The solitary eyes that I've been looking through

Committed to connecting the old ways to the new

And I see things

Through a curtain blowing back against the rain

Through the crack in a door that heaves with pain

And through every gap that gives away some secret in the dark

I'll come away with something to keep you in my heart..."

VOYEUR - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 2013.

"I have to say my friends

This road goes a long, long way

And if we're gonna find the end

We're gonna need a helping hand

I have to say my friends

We're looking for a light ahead

In the distance a candle burns

Salvation keeps the hungry children fed

It's gotta take a lot of salvation

What we need are willing hands

You must feel the sweat in your eyes

You must understand salvation

A chance to put the devil down

Without the fear of hell

Salvation spreads the gospel 'round

And free you from yourself...."

Genetic studies suggest that the first people to arrive in the Americas descend from an ancestral group of Ancient North Siberians and East Asians that mingled around 20,000 to 23,000 years ago. They crossed the Bering Land Bridge sometime between then and 15,500 years ago (wikipedia).

#1757 Love Has No Pride by Walter Vermeulen

"I''ve had bad dreams too many times,

To think that they don't mean much any more.

Fine times have gone and left my sad home,

Friends who once cared just walk out my door.

Love has no pride when I call out your name.

Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.

I'd give anything to see you again..."

Linda Ronstadt anno 1973...

Coloured pencil on $teinbach paper

"Hey you, you're a child in my head

You haven't walked yet

Your first words have yet to be said

But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream

Your eyes might be green

Or the bluest that I've ever seen

Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old

To have and to hold

To walk with you and watch you grow

And know that you're blessed

And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

You'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

You'll be blessed

(Promise you that, promise you that, promise you that)

You'll be blessed..."

Coloured pencils and pastel on Steinbach paper.

"I woke up long after dawn

Twenty years had come and gone

I know when it changed for me

A day in June, you came to me

I've seen through someone else's eyes

With nothin' on the other side

Every motel, every town

Pieces scattered all around

Promises that I can't be

Someone's heart that I can't keep

Days so long, I couldn't speak

Roads so rocky, I can't sleep

I've seen things so beautiful

All around this broken world

That pale in comparison to you

Caroline, I'm on my way back home to you

Can't imagine what I'm goin' through

Without you by my side

It's been a long long time

Oh won't you say a prayer for me

I hope you will remember me

You're always on my mind..."
