It's very difficult to photograph an opera. And they messed up on it. It just wasn't there. And I don't blame the Gershwins for taking it away. Of course, if they had gotten the original company to have done it, it would have been very good.

MESSED UP LOVE...by talile ali
STAND UP ON YOUR FEET
AND FACE THIS
MESSED UP LOVE
THOUGHT IT WAS
SOMETHING FROM ABOVE
BUT IT WAS ONLY
MESSED UP LOVE
NEVER SAW A FACE
REAL WELL AND
NEVER REALLY GOT
THE NAME
MOM WAS FANNIN THE FLAME
DRIVIN ME

SO HERE WE ARE
NOT TOGETHER BECAUSE

MESSED UP LOVE
AND IT IS
NO SUCH FUN
IT'S NOTHIN BUT
MESSED UP LOVE
SO AS I PACK MY BAGS
I SAY GOOD BYE TO
MESSED UP LOVE
THE FEELINGS WERE
NOTHIIN TO SPEAK OF
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH
MESSED UP LOVE
DON'T TEXT ME MORE TODAY
YOUR MESSAGES ARE
MESSED UP LOVE
I DON'T REALLY
SEE WHAT YOUR SPEAKING OF

That was my way, and I also use the music after five years, I started hearing opera, opera, it was very good instrument to keep the spirit very strong because you feel like you are yourself singing opera, and I used to hear a lot of opera, they send me tapes.

Bitter and twisted
I'm bitter and twisted.
And my head is all but messed up.
I don't blame you.
But blame myself.
But you raped me.
And you abused me.
Was that my fualt?
I'm hell bent on revenge.
You've messed up my life.
I hate you I hate you I hate you.
Why pick on me?
I hate you.
And I am going to get you.
One by one.
Your all gonna pay.
So watch your back.

When Will I See You Smile Again?
Im so sorry, baby, I never meant to hurt you. please forgive me.
La da da...
Tears, I see, drop from your eyes. tell me why you cry.
Guilt, I feel, when you look at me. did I let you down?
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I knew I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Promises, I know I made many times before, and I broke each one of them.
But I had to learn over and over again: dont hurt the one you love.
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I know I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Look, baby, listen:
Please forgive me for all the wrong Ive done.
You see, I just cant understand why I keep making this same kind of mistake
Over and over again. but theres one question that remains in the back of my mind, love.
And that is when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? ...

Next Time Around
Well I'm dreaming 'bout a Cadillac
And a girl that I used to have
But I know that I could never go back
To the day we took a photograph
That I'm holdin' in my hand
I can't believe I messed it up so bad
If I get another chance
I'd never waste it yeah
I swear I'll be a better man
[CHORUS:]
And I'll tell you right now
We'll make it up next time around
Yeah!
I'll pick you up and never put you down
Next time around
Yeah!
I'll lift you up and never let you down
Now I'm thinkin' bout the good times
All the friends that I used to know
And they always said they'd have my back
But now I'm flyin' solo
All alone again I stand
I can't believe I messed it so bad
If I had another chance
I'd never waste it yeah
I'll try and be a better man
[CHORUS]
[guitar solo]
[CHORUS X 2]
Next time around...

Unsuited
Unsuited!
From you that's what I use to believe.
I wasn't suited,
To be near you or your company.
Unsuited!
But then
Neither are you 'now' for me.
Everything today that's claimed,
Will re-arrange to make a change!
Unsuited!
From you that's what I use to believe.
I wasn't suited,
To be near you or your company.
Unsuited!
But then
Today you're not suited for me.
If one waits around,
What appears will change.
And those noses in the air,
Will one day sniff a shame.
With a misery to come,
Like a mental stinging pain.
From their heads to their toes,
And this will show...
When they tumble from their gains,
And everybody knows.
Everything today that's claimed,
Will re-arrange to make a change!
Uh,
I wasn't suited
To be or breathe,
In your company.
Unsuited!
The feeling your eyes,
Laid on me.
I was not suited.
But then
Neither are you 'now',
For me.
I wasn't suited.
But then
Neither are you 'now',
For me.
Can you compute it?
The air I wish to breathe is pretentious free!
Can you compute it?
I wasn't suited when you booted me.
And now
The air I wish to breathe is free.
I wasn't suited when you booted me.
But then,
Neither are you now,
For me.
I wasn't suited when you booted me.
But then
Today you are unsuited,
For me.

Messed Up
Life says it is so messed up
I feel so it so often, messed up
This very feeling starts to make my mood be messed up
Can I get over this feel?
I often ask myself about this crappy feeling
Everything goes haywire, here and there
How should I fix my head?
Crappy feelings, so often exist
How should I begin to believe in myself?
Moods and mood swings often start to capture me
Then I start to look into my soul
Mood and mood swings, go away from me
No matter how crappy life becomes, I still got to live
Do not mess my head up as I got to fix it
Haywire, life can be although still I am not breaking
Into my soul if you sneak, lies plenty darkness
Got to get it out of my system, messed up I am not taking anymore.

Troy
I’ve been counting down the days to
see the shoeing of my beautiful horse
bandit
he has bad feet because
he was run hard in barrel racing
and put away wet
by the people who owned him before I did
I was taking my last ride on him
for the week
or that’s what I thought
at 3pm troy drove up
I told him all the angles he needed to shoe
my baby
I let him be and do his thing
I came back a hour latter see how he was doing
and to offer some water
cause of
the kind hearted person I am
he said I may have to stay off bandit for a while
I didn’t think that meant
A WHOLE YEAR
that man messed bandit’s feet up so bad that now
I couldn’t ride him for a year
it wasn’t fair to bandit he didn’t do anything
to deserve a whole year of pain
It wasn’t fair to me either cause
that is one of the strongest way to build your confidence up
and bond with your horse
I love riding horses
I have 11 other horses
I have to ride on a normal day
but bandit is my baby
and my best friend
and when you mess with my friends
you’ve crossed the line
but when you’ve messed with my horse
if I could I’ll screw over your life
cause when you do that you’ve gone way to far
y’all
my horse is my best friend
my companion
my bond for life
my everything
why my horse troy
why bandit
why troy

Sonnet: Such Blaming is Futile
Why blame poor Death when it does its duty?
Why blame the land for becoming desert?
Why blame Nature for unleashing fury?
Why blame dame Luck for being so inert?
Why blame the Sun for scorching summer’s heat?
Why blame the winter for its freezing cold?
Why blame the Wind for turning land less neat?
Why blame women for asking diamonds, gold?
Why blame the Sky for not bringing the Rain?
Why blame the Air for becoming so foul?
Why blame the nerves for sensation of pain?
Why blame the devils for your sinful soul?
Why blame the Stars for good or bad life brings?
Why blame your God for bad turn of some things?

Space Is Gonna Do Me Good
The islands of phoenix
In 2016
Are making it up with hardihood
Im done with adult matters
Im doing the catapult
Ive been meaning to get out of hollywood
Space is gonna do me good
Space is gonna do me good
Its not you I dont like
No, the boy is the same
Im taking the turnpike
Theres no point in to blame
Oh yeah
Space is gonna do me good
Space is gonna do me good

If you want to stay tan
Better to do it with a toy or a game

No Swimming Pool Or Tennis Court
A swimming pool and tennis court
for music, lyrics, Copeland thought
chez Brothers Gershwin, has to be
the way to go. I get no fee
for poetry, and have no mansion.
My home has much room for expansion,
and telling me my verse is gorgeous
won’t make my house as great as George’s.
In woods of Beverly this Gershon
is not like Hilly Gershwins’ version;
it’s far closer to a shul,
though I would not decline a pool
and tennis court in summertime,
when people think of Ira’s rhyme.
When Aaron Copeland visited the Gershwins in Beverly Hills, he was impressed by their tennis court and swimming pool, saying that he did not know that one could obtain either by writing music and lyrics.

I think it was just an opera. Now, you go to opera, you expect to see and hear what the opera is. So, it was Catfish Row. It was singers. Marvelous voices. It didn't make no difference what color they were.

Just Take Responibility
all of my hopes,
all of my dreams,
only seem to disappear,
because i thought it was my problem,
it's just as much mine as yours,
but, you don't see that,
do you even care?
because it don't seem you do,
what's even more messed up,
is you still have a life,
i don't have much of on,
when this could've been provented,
i blamed you for lacking reponsibility,
but, i blame myself,
for thinking there wa good in everybody,
how wrong was i?
i admit i was naive,
thinking everybody cared,
and wanted what was best,
but, money turn people ugly,
they only care,
if your not taking it,
am i not important enough?
after everything i'm freakin
going through because of you?
i freakin hate you more and more,
you use to matter,
only because i thought you cared,
should've listened to my gut,
it was all an act,
don't i feel dumb,
but, that's okay,
i've learn to take responibility,
and be the bigger person,
that's something,
you'll never know how to be.

Music Is Philosophy
MUSIC IS PHILOSOPHY
Music is philosophy that's understood
without a need to read the book.
While Judaism is the Jews' religion, statehood
won't fully let them off the hook.
John Maseng in the Los Angeles Jewish Journal,5/25-31, writes about a production of Osvaldo Golijov's "Ainadamar, " an opera that tells the story of Garcia Lorca's life, and his death at the hand of the Falangists, through the eyes of his mistress, the actress Margarita Xirgu. The opera is being produced by the Long Beach Opera Company. Golijov told Maseng:
Jewish music is a point of view, it's a way of experiencing the world that at is translated into the music…There is something about music that transcends any need for explanation. I always feel that music is a sort of philosophy that's understood without a need to read the book. Not all music is universal, but all good music is universal."

It seems difficult, sometimes, to believe that there was a time when sentiments now become habitual, sentiments that imply not only the original imperative of conduct, but the original metaphysic of living, were by no means altogether habitual.

Where Are The Stars
Don't blame me if the
stars aren't in the sky.
The clouds came in and covered them
and you wonder why?
They just couln't take it,
couldn't take it anymore.
They were tired of seeing a heart
that was feeling so sore.
Every cloudless sky
when stars were shining bright
we'd sit outside and watch them
and revel in their sight.
There wasn't a thing to worry us.
Everything was good.
We laughed. We danced
the way two lovers should.
But sometimes good things
don't seem to last.
The happiness leaves
and becomes part of the past.
So don't blame me if the
stars aren't in the sky.
They left when you went away
and now I wonder why?
