LubziMix : You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

- You're a Good Man Charlie Brown Lyrics      . [LINUS] I really don't think you have anything to worry about, Charlie Brown. After all, science has shown that a person's character isn't really established until he's at least five years old. [SALLY (overlapping)] The only thing wrong with my big brother, Charlie Brown, is his lack of confidence; his inferiority and lack of confidence. His clumsiness, his inferiority, his lack of confidence. His stupidity his clumsiness, his inferiority and his lack of confidence, his... [SCHROEDER (overlapping)] Did you know that Charlie Brown has never pitched a winning baseball game, never been able to keep a kite in the air, never won a game of checkers and never successfully punted a football? Sometimes I marvel at his consistency. [LUCY (overlapping)] Now Charlie Brown has what you call a Failure Face, Linus. Notice how it has failure written all over it. Study it carefully. You rarely see such a good example. [CHARLIE BROWN (overlapping)] Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise, and I think how beautiful it is, and how my life lies before me, and I get a very positive feeling about things. Like this morning for instance; the sky's so clear and the sun's so bright. How can anything go wrong on a day like this? I'm late! [SNOOPY] Woof! [ALL (except Charlie Brown)] You're a good man, Charlie Brown You're the kind of reminder we need You have humility, nobility and a sense of honor that is very Rare indeed. [SNOOPY] Woof! [OTHERS] You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you will go very far Yes it's hard to believe Almost frightening to conceive What a good man you are. [SCHROEDER] You are kind. [OTHERS] You are kind to all the animals And every little bird With a heart of gold You believe what you're told... [LUCY] Every single solitary word [OTHERS] You bravely face adversity You're cheerful through the day You're thoughtful Brave and couteous [LUCY] And you also have some faults But for the moment let's just say [OTHERS] That you're a good man, Charlie Brown You're a prince And a prince could be king With a heart such as yours You could open any doors You could go out and do anything You could be King Charlie Brown You could be king! [CHARLIE BROWN] Everybody says to me: [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] Every voice in harmony [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] All I need is one more try Gotta get that kite to fly And I'm not the kind of guy Who gives up easily Wonder why they stop to say: [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] Never liked me, anyway [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] Trying not to rock the boat Not to make a scene A good man? Yes But I confess I don't know what they mean I wanna rise like I should And do everything right But I lie awake at night... With questions in my ear I want to join the dance [OTHERS] Oooh Never sleep Oooh Loud and deep Oooh Take the leap [CHARLIE BROWN] But the answer isn't clear. Than I hear: [OTHERS] Charlie Brown... Charlie Brown... You're a good man, Charlie Brown You're a good man, Charlie Brown [SCHROEDER] Get on the bus [LUCY] Get on the bus [LINUS] Go ahead, get on the bus, Charlie Brown! [SALLY] Don't wanna be late for school! [OTHERS] That's right! [CHARLIE BROWN] Don't wanna be late! [ALL] Don't wanna be late for school! [SNOOPY] Woof! [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown You're the kind Of reminder we need You have humility, Nobility, And a sense of honor That is very rare indeed [CHARLIE BROWN] There they go again Don't know what they mean I'm not good, I'm not bad I'm somewhere In between [SNOOPY] Woof! [OTHERS] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] I don't understand You're a prince And a prince could be king With a heart such as yours You could open any doors You could go out And do anything You could be King, Charlie Brown You could be King! [CHARLIE BROWN] "Nothing lasts forever" [OTHERS] You could be king [CHARLIE] "All good things must end" I've memorized That phrase by heart. So tell me, I need to know it... [OTHERS] Believe it And you were born for this part You're a good man, Charlie Brown! [CHARLIE] When do the Good things start? [LUCY/SCHROEDER] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [LINUS/SALLY] Bravely facing Adversity You can open up [SNOOPY] Oh, You're a good man [LUCY/SCHROEDER] You're a good man, Charlie Brown [ALL] You're ad good man, Charlie Brown!

LubziMix : Schroeder - from the Musical "You're a god Man Charlie Brown"

[LUCY]
D'ya know something, Schroeder?
I think the way you play the piano is nice.
D'ya know something else?
It's always been my dream
That I'd marry a man who plays the piano.

At parties he'd play something nice like
"April Showers."
I'm sure you could play something nice like
"April Showers."
Or even "Frere Jacques."
Beethoven's nice too.

Just imagine
What would you think if someday you and I should get married?
Wouldn't you like that if someday we two should get married?

My aunt Marion was right, never try to discuss marriage with a musician.

LubziMix : I feel ev'ry now and then.. That I gotta bite someone... (You're a Good Man Charlie Brown)

Musical: You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
Title: Snoopy

[SNOOPY]
They like me.
I think they're swell.
Isn't it remarkable
How things turn out so well?

Pleasant day, pretty sky
Life goes on, here I lie
Not bad, not bad at all.

Cozy home, board and bed
Sturdy roof beneath my head
Not bad, not bad at all.

Faithful friends
Always near me,
Bring me bones,
Scratch my ear

Little birds
Come to cheer me
Ev'ry day
Sitting here,
On my stomach
With their sharp little claws
Which are usually cold,
And occasionally painful,
And sometimes there are so many
That I can hardly stand it...

Rats!

I feel ev'ry now and then
That I gotta bite someone.
I know ev'ry now and then what I wanna be.
A fierce jungle animal crouched on the limb
Of a tree

[GIRLS (offstage)]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[SNOOPY]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'd stay very very still
Till I see a victim come.
I'd wait knowing very well ev'ry second counts.
And then like the fierce jungle creature I am
I would pounce!
I'd pounce!
I'd punce!
I'd-

You know, I never realized it was so far down to
the ground from up here.

Let me see, where was I?
Oh, that's right, the pretty sky,
Not bad, not bad at all.

Cozy home, board and bed
Sturdy roof beneath my head
Not bad, not bad at all.
Not bad, not bad at all.

I wonder if it will snow tonight.

Till Your Ears Bleed - My 2010 Welcome theme

TillYourEarsBleed.mp3


I made this  piece in san francisco in year 2000.
in year 2001 my 'industry' (I.T)  'crashed' .. my company went under . i lost my job on my birthday in june 2001.
paradise lost .. the dream of freedom and dignity slipped again from my fingers .. that freedom i was only able to feel in the United States of America.
I am serious. I felt a connection with the land and the people. I felt i am able to belong , and belong and belong. I was able to live my different identities . i was able to be an Arab , an artist , a woman, a geek , a Canadian even , I was able to be a better Canadian in the USA. I was able to wear my  Palestinian Koufiyeh and my Jordanian shmagh without fear.. I was able to get involved and express myself as a citizen even though i wasnt even a US citizen! True I was living in a very special place , California is a special place. I was involved in politics without fear. I love that place!
i had to leave. jobs were scarce after the hi-tech bubble burst .. and after 911 there was no chance on earth for me to get a job .. an Arab and not even an american , arab looking and with an accent .. not the perfect age or gender or skin color either .. no way.. i tried very hard..  but ..no way
i couldnt afford it ... i realized my generous severance package will run out soon if i dont do something ...
so much soul searching..
so much .. day and night
battling with my fear
barely any support
i came up with the decision to go back to Canada! after all i am a Canadian citizen , this is my country too.. it is my country in a different and special way .. a country of choice. I jumped through hoops and loops to make it my country . I studied and passed. I went through rigorous examinations and had to live in freezing cold for years to earn my Canadian citizenship.
i was drawn to Canada because of the reputation it has, the values it preaches . not because i was starving in my country. I thought it was a place where people have dignity and freedom and equality. and everyone has the same opportunity and respect. I wanted to live in canada because i wanted to live in a democracy and in peace and have opportunities and be able to help others in the world. That is why I chose Canada to be my new country.
Living in the east wasnt bad. The culture in Montreal is awesome . there is racism but at least there is culture and passion and good food. but the weather is very cold!   it's just frigging cold ! so so so cold ! no one can comprehend the intensity of this cold except people who live in it.
the gas used to freeze in my car . i once cried from the cold. i made the mistake of taking off my mitten to try and open my car door , the lock was frozen , the exposure of my hand without the mitten for a few minutes made me cry , i felt my fingers will fall off ! it was so painful!
no way would i go back! so cold!
i decided to go back to school to become a film director !
i decided to move to Vancouver. and i didnt know anything about Vancouver. just that it's the closest biggest Canadian city, never been there and met maybe only 3 or 4 people from there in all the years i lived in Canada!
I drove up all the way to vancouver. I slept in the car at night  and drove during the light.
I had a dream long before this happened. It was strange because I dont know much about vancouver, I never think of vancouver. It was sometime in  2000/2001 I was working in silicon valley totally enjoying the sun and the freedom and the opportunitues..
i had a dream one day , in my sleep; I dreamt i was in Vancouver , and there was an earthquake ..
i was alone .. and the earth was shaking .. but a voice inside me was telling me not to be afraid .. i was ducking  under a small construction that looked like a box made out of concrete and i was feeling safe and that everything will just be allright!
this song was my canada re-entry theme. i drove up all the way to Vancouver.. it was fall time and the colors of the leaves was fascinating .. on my way i found a safari zoo , and then a bird sanctuary .. i stopped and visited ! i felt free and in bliss.
l never ended up living in vancouver or  going back to school.
my life took turns like i had never expected..
i discovered that the east is not like the west . the frost of the cold is mercy compared to the cold fire of the racism.
what a hard decade ! I call it my British Columbia decade!
the hardest in my life but fantastically transforming!
I thank Canada , I love Canada , and I am a proud Canadian , still inspired by the canadian values of human rights and freedom and protection of the environment and animals and caring and helping other people of the world.. etc..  which are unfortunately being stepped on by our government while canadians watch silently!

so there you go , that is the story of this music
Goodbye 2000-2009
welcome
2010 !
may it  be  THE year where the deepest human aspiration of peace and fulfillment of basic need becomes reality

Where are the horses? وين الخيل

سألت الطير ياخدلك رسالة

I asked the bird to deliver a message to you

تشرح لوعتي وشوق الليالي

That explains my burning and my longing nights

وانا قاللي الطير

and the bird said to me

ما يقدر جناحي

My wings cannot

على حمل الحنين

carry all the longing

اللي بالرسالة

in this message
....

وين الخيل

where are the horses?

تشق الليل

to break the silence of night

تاخدني ديار الغالي

and take me to the lands of the loved one

عالفرقة ما عادلي حيل

i cant handle being away anymore

حالي بيشفق على حالي

my self feels sorry for myself

مش قادر اصبر

i cant be patient

ومنين

and from where

صبر بلاقي

can I find patience

دلوني

guide me

3 Racism Mixes

This is how I express my outrage at racism that I am constantly exposed to, me and many many others in this world.

Here is my Racism Tune Pack

Black Coffee - a Remix by Lubzi

Black coffee.mp3

By @DrRemy - Music set collaboration of: @sciencebase: David Bradley, @Lubzi & @Businari : Mauricio .

This post in copied entirely from Dj DocRemy - it was posted today , and she  is featuring my music  again :) !

I am super thankful to Dj DocRemy for her great show and for sharing with us the great talents of @sciencebase, David Bradley, and @Businari, Mauricio.

Featuring my Audio Art track : 'Abraham' Here is a link to Dj DocRemy's original post where you can check other very cool music. If you want to hear Abraham itself uncut , here it is :)

Braham - Lubzi*

Here is what Dj DocRemy  said on her blog:   

Collaboration Nov 6 2009 Final by DjDocREMY

This music set is with collaboration of @sciencebase, David Bradley, @Lubzi and @Businari, Mauricio.

I opened the set with (@sciencebase) David’s Here Comes the Sun mixed with (@Businari) Businari’s Baal from Hi-Brazil Soundtrack from the epic book The Song of the Spheres, Vol.1, The Bard and the Queen Of Ice. http://homepage.mac.com/hibrazil/bardo1_index.html (details of the Legend)

This represents sunrise on our planet earth, Gaia.

Next I mixed rectus limbus from Businari’s Hi-Brazil Let’s Do the Samba: http://homepage.mac.com/hibrazil/ldts_index.html (for details) as this represents the sunrise has now warmed our earth.

I picked Babak and transition to (@Lubzi) Lubzi’s Braham. This represents that we, as human race, have set up way of life that resonates our higher self. According to Lubzi’s Braham: is Braham Lincoln, as is also Abraham, the ‘father’ of the Jews and Arabs: The Wise Father as is Abraham Lincoln: The Government of the People.

I like the fact that Lubzi’s piece represents both the Arabs and the Jews as one, connecting by Abraham. It is wise of her to do so in this fashion of music and speech combined.

Again from David’s Sunrise to warm the earth by Businari’s pieces and closing with Lubzi’s Braham as Abraham to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address.

What talented friends I have. Thank you David, Mauricio and Lubzi….. You have honored me much!

Empathy for Blending of Emotions: Discord, Resolve & Celebration. Lubzi's muic is featured on DocrRmy's #musicweeklycelebtation

This post in copied entirely from Dj DocRemy - it was posted on Saturday, October 3, 2009 , the weekend that she featured my music :) !

I am super thankful to Dj DocRemy for her great show and for featuring my Audio Art track : October 22.  Here is a link to Dj DocRemy's original post where you can check other very cool music and listen to October 22.
here is the Original October 22 piece uncut :

Oct 22 - Lubzi*

Here is what Dj DocRemy  said on her blog:   
"DjDrRemy - @Lubzi: Empathy for Blending on Discord-Resolve-and-Celebration by DjDocREMY

This #WeeklyMusicCelebration set is featuring our talented friend @Lubzi. I specifically name it: Empathy for Blending of Emotions: Discord, Resolve & Celebration. And the following is what @Lubzi explains about her music: 

“The track name is “Oct22”. In fact it is about September 11. I called it October 22 because in those days (2002) Arabs living in the west couldn’t even discuss 9/11 without receiving at least accusing looks. So I was being ironic on the terrorizing of Arab immigrants in the name of fighting terrorism. 
In the beginning, things are moving in a steady pace somewhat peaceful and then all of sudden the world blows up and all the crazy events that happened afterward were too overwhelming and surreal: that is how 911 went and what I am expressing in the track.I did not have specific goal in mind: Only let my emotions take the helm as I had a load of hard to handle feelings about 9/11 and I needed to wear my heart over my sleeve.My hope is that people would feel some of my feelings….” 

As for me, I picked this track of Lubzi’s (out of the 5 tracks she sent me) as somehow I resonate with the tune though I had no idea what the tune means – not until she tweeted me with the explanation.

On this set, I have added how I feel for her music as you may catch it at ~2:24 mins. then her track resumes at ~3.49 mins. I remix “Daft Punk” songs for two reasons: 
1) It is entirely electronic sound – This is to emphasize how technological science of music program allows us to produce music. 
2) It resonates how our humanity become stronger as a human race, faster in technology and outreach of communications which allows us to share and have more empathy as we try harder by the closing song which is a celebration to our spirit of Being - as One."

So Say We All ....

So Say We All ....

Till your Ears Bleed

This is one of my AudioArt pieces. I did this in year 2000.
I love it. I hope you do too.

some music for you

Here is one of my mixes

Rush the floor wit...

اللؤلؤ المنثور ... في فمك الجميل
فيه السعادة للشقي .. وللعليل
فاذا تفتحت الشفاه ثوانيا نورّت دنيانا وأحييت القتيل

The scattered pearls...in you beautiful mouth
brings happiness to the miserable , and the sick
if your lips opened for seconds our life lights up and the dead are revived..

The name of the artist singing in Arabic is Sabah fakhri from Alleppo, Syria. Then I am using a really old poem i think it is by امرؤ القيس... not too sure anymore. i am starting to forget these things you know.
the poet talks about his lover , how graceful is the way she walk, how loved by her friends and neighbours how she keeps their secrets, how when she stands up the fragrance of tulips and roses spreads all over the place...
bla bla bla , love and crap

Emotional state

I'm feeling emotional, I know that is stupid. no, really it is stupid. nothing changed since yesterday, i only grew up one more day, i slept and woke up, received some more spam, spent a little bit more time on the PC and the TV, ate and drank...

nothing significant.

i feel rejected though. maybe because i am listening to emotional songs that are taking me back to times when i felt loved and in love. maybe because these songs are transmitting sad feelings. i wonder if i will feel happy if i listen to happy songs. am i taking on the feelings in the songs or is the song playing because it is reflecting my own feelings.

recently something happened , i met someone , and i got rejected, it didnt feel good at all. it clouded my judgment about how i feel about that person. you know what Madonna says? "rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac" do you think she is right?

The truth is that i have so much love inside me, that i need to share, to give, to express, and i keep on running into people who are afraid of love, i learned recently or not so recently that i cant express my feelings openly and freely, i cant be transparent. i never believed or followed that directive. the result, rejection or feeling rejected. having to swallow back my pride and emotional expression and crawl back in bed with old memories and fantasies of glimpses of loving moments.

Why do humans need love?? what is so special about a kiss ? about lips meeting? what happens when lips meet? how can people be so close one day and next day they are strangers. they hurt each other and say bad things about each other..

why does a song affect me so much? is it because it resonates on the deepest level with feelings i once touched and tasted? sad or happy

I dont know. i wish i knew, or maybe i dont wish, because at least i have an excuse now to be stumbling, i dont know, if i knew then i cannot justify my stumbling.

love love, they say it makes the world goes around.i love myself , but that still isnt enough, nothing is like hearing and smelling the love.

i am rambling heavily , i know. that is why God invented blogs , so that people like me ramble freely, liberally.

it will pass, the 'i need personal romantic love' fever. i think i like being in that state otherwise i can turn off the fucking music and go take a shower or a walk.. but again, no , i cant run from myself. in the shower I'll have me with me, i cant hide or run.

i tell myself this is only my domestication, it is all learned behavior. even feelings are not real, they are how we learned to react to different things.

In Star Trek there is a race called the 'Vulcans'. Vulcans were once emotional barbaric but then they decided to control themselves, they meditated and controlled their minds and emotions so that they dont get into the kind of emotional turbulence similar I am in today. they succeeded in living according to logic. But the price was high, we see in one of the episodes how Tuvac , the Vulcan became crazy eventually. In another episode it shows how when Vulcans are in sexual heat they are totally out of control.

The question is , will I even find the kind of love that i imagine and wish for? will i feel this real and deep connection with another person where there we become pure energy, where we merge but stay separate , connect on the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual, where there is no inhibitions and right and wrong, only pure transparency and childlike innocence exists, where play is the game, exploration of the soul.

bla bla bla

Moon Over Buffalo sound design

I'm have been working on the sound design of a play called Moon Over Buffalo . I am finishing up the work. I totally enjoyed learning about the music of the 50s , every time I work on a play I learn so much. At the beginning it is hard to absorb music I am not used to, but eventually it grows on me and I learn to love it. I am almost done. There was a last minute change that I put in yesterday, I worked for 9 hours straight, but that is OK because I love this kind of work. It seems like I cannot have enough of it. I only slept 3 hours last night, so I am exhausted and I had to miss the rehearsal - which is unfortunate because I just love attending the rehearsals.
So the suggested change was around the 1st song in the curtain call. Check it out below in the mp3 player widget. I have 3 versions here. The truth is that I am not fond of the last version, I dont find that the first song fits well within the overall context musically. It sounds very different that the rest of the music in the other pieces. Unlike most of the music that I used in this production this song is not from the 50s (I think it is from the 30s at least). I actually like the song, I can totally see why the director wants it there, I am just concerned that with the applause people wont get to hear it. I also dont find that it has enough energy for a curtain call song, where I would like to capitalize on people's energy and excitement and pump more into it with the music. This one it is not grand enough, especially for this high energy farce about crazy melodramatic theatre actors .
Anyway, I like giving options to directors I work with , I am offering the 3 choices and eventually the director gets to pick the one that will end up on the show.
Let's see what he will say. Maybe we will end up with a 4th piece. :)

Moon Over Buffalo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moon Over Buffalo is a comedy by Ken Ludwig set in Buffalo, New York in 1953.

Characters
* George Hay, a traveling actor.
* Charlotte, George's wife and actress in his company.
* Rosalind, George & Charlotte's daughter, who left the stage to lead a "normal" life.
* Howard, a TV weatherman and Rosalind's fiancé.
* Paul, stage manager for George's company, and Rosalind's ex-fiancé.
* Ethel, Charlotte's nearly-deaf mother.
* Richard, a lawyer who is courting Charlotte.
* Eileen, an actress in George's company who is George's "mistress".

Overview
Moon Over Buffalo relies heavily on situation comedy for its humor, as well as some sexual innuendo and a little slapstick. The actor who plays George, in particular, must be able to deliver a highly physical performance; George engages in a mock fencing match with Charlotte, a wrestling match with Howard, and a stunt fall into the orchestra pit. The action and dialogue are fast-paced, as the characters are constantly bickering or frantically trying to resolve some confusion.

George and Charlotte Hay, traveling actors, are performing Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in a repertory theatre in Buffalo. Charlotte has grandiose dreams of becoming a Hollywood film star; George, on the other hand, is quite satisfied as a stage actor, and sees live theatre as being superior to film.

George receives a phone call from Frank Capra, a very famous film director, who says that he needs replacements for the two stars of his current film, The Scarlett Pimpernel, and that he plans to see one of George's shows and consider George and Charlotte for the parts. Charlotte, however, doesn't believe George when he gives the news; she has just learned that George has had an affair with one of their actors, Eileen, and that Eileen is pregnant with George's child. To further complicate issues, one of the actors in George's company walks out. Soon after, Charlotte leaves George and the company to be with Richard, the successful and charismatic lawyer. George, despondent, gives up hope and turns to alcohol to drown his misery.

When Charlotte hears the news about Capra losing his actors, she returns to the theatre, only to find that George has left. Charlotte and Rosalind, her daughter who has recently come to visit, contact all the bars in the city, looking for him. They can't find him, but Charlotte does meet Howard, Roz's new fiancé, whom Charlotte's hard-of-hearing mother mistakenly introduces as Frank Capra. Thinking that Howard is the famous director, Charlotte gives him the "red carpet" treatment, for which Howard is grateful, but confused. And when George returns, he believes that Howard is actually Eileen's brother, seeking revenge for George's affair with Eileen. In what he thinks is self-defense, George ties up the innocent Howard and locks him in a closet.

When Charlotte and Roz finally meet George again, they try to get him prepared for the afternoon's showing of Private Lives, which Capra intends to see. George, in his drunken stupor, decides he would rather do Cyrano, and dresses appropriately. The resulting show is a disaster, as George is several minutes late to arrive onstage and in the wrong costume and character. In the end, Howard, still bound in ropes, hops onstage and calls out for help; then George falls into the orchestra pit, twisting his leg and presumably breaking a few instruments.

After the show, a sober George offers his apology to Howard. Howard is not satisfied, though; his encounter with Roz's parents frightened him away from staying engaged to Roz. He announces that he and Eileen have decided to get engaged instead, and eagerly plan to start a family right away. Howard isn't aware that Eileen is already carrying George's child, but Eileen seems satisfied to keep him in the dark. Paul, now that Roz is now single, takes the opportunity to (almost literally) sweep her off her feet, and they get engaged again on the spot. Charlotte forgives — or at least forgets — George's infidelity and decides to stay with him instead of Richard. Finally, in a deus ex machina-like plot twist, Capra himself calls to say that he missed the afternoon performance and will instead see the show in the evening, thus allowing George and Charlotte another chance at Hollywood stardom.

Production
Moon Over Buffalo opened on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on October 1, 1995, where it ran for 309 performances, after 22 previews and an out-of-town tryout in Boston.

A video, Moon Over Broadway, was made, following the show through the rehearsal period and the Broadway opening.
