MISS MYSTERY, words and music by Trayce Pjirrou, all rights reserved.
Song inspired by the historical record of a beautiful young woman who was the cause of a lot of trouble in a 15th century Andalusian village, Andalucia, Spain. (full lyrics below)
Dancers: Antonio Gades (1936, Elda Alicante, 2004, Madrid); Cristina Hoyos Panadera (1946, Seville Spain)
Seguiriyas*
Seguiriyas have very few lyrics and lots of wailing and are difficult to interpret. They reflect the suffering of human relationships, love and death.
LYRICS
COPYRIGHT, Trayce Pjirrou
ABOVE THE STREET I LISTEN TO YOU
IN THE FAINTED HEAT IN THE MORNIN’ DEW
THE SKY IS COLD IN THE RAINY NIGHT
RUN TO YOU TRY TO FIGHT
BLACKENED GOWN FOOLIN AROUND
SNAKIN’ CHARM, I WON’T DO YOU HARM
A THOUSAND YEARS YOU’RE CARRIED ABOUT
A THOUSAND EYES THAT FOLLOW YOU OUT
MISS, MISS MYSTERY
MISS, MISS MYSTERY
STUCCO BLOCK, DEIGN TO TALK
WINDOW PANE, GENTLY VAIN
THE HILL TOPS CALL TO THE STREET BELOW
COBBLE STONES, PLEASANT GROANS
CORRUPTED HEADS, LOAVES OF BREAD
FLUNG TO THE FUTURE, TO THE EDGE OF DARK
PLAYERS FALL, AWAIT YOUR CALL
STONES ARE LAID, DARK CHARADE
THE STREETS ARE FULL, DREAD THE BULL
SOUND IN FLIGHT YOURS TONIGHT
fTHE HILLTOPS CALL TO THE STREETS BELOW
COBBLE STONES, PLEASANT GROANS
A THOUSAND HEARTS-my first music iPhone video - dance sequences filmed at the Center Stage Dance Studio and Pacific Performing Arts center, Hilo Hawaii and at the University of Hawaii, Megan Kemata featured in the latter.
