INGENUE

In the film Great Expectations, the stranger sang a theme from someone else’s dream. Marvelous film score.

Ingenue, Martin Virgo’s song with elements of the Ipcress File written by marvelous musical score composer John Barry.

The leaves began to fall, and no one spoke at all, but I can’t seem to recall when you came along. Ingenue. I just don’t know what to do.

The tree-lined avenue begins to fade from view, drowning past regrets in tea and cigarettes. But I can’t seem to forget when you came along. Ingenue.

A metaphor of life, happiness, sadness and loneliness.

A dear friend of thirty-plus years came the other day after, I believe, my sister called and suggested I was going down the tubes. Ingenue. My friend came and saved me.

Sunshower dark as roses, fine as sand, feel your healing, and your sting again, hear you laughing, and my soul is saved.

It’s all right. When you’re caught in pain, and you feel the rain come down, it’s all right when you find your way, then you see it disappear. It’s all right. Though your garden’s gray, I know all your graces some day will flower in a sweet sunshower.

Duncan Sheik sings:

Listen to the waves. Everything communicates, will it ever be anything more than wishful thinking? Oh no, there you go, looked away and missed the show. How much wasted time? Will you survive? Feel the blades of grass, how it brings you back. It will always be only as green as you can see. … And I try to realize that I needn’t look any further. The whole of the universe is plain to see, and I try not to rely on another world or the future. The whole of the universe is a mystery, and it gets me over.

Violins, cellos, harmonicas, drums, piano, horns, voices. And Bessamé Mucho. Woomba.
