Since joining the MacJams community around 8 months ago, DavisAmerica (Jack), has struck me as a talented vocalist and songwriter. In addition to those qualities, he is also one of our most active, supportive and positive members on this site.
The original posting of ‘Mania’ (as well as the subsequent repost), bears testament to DavisAmerica’s talents and I was delighted when Jack gave me permission to ‘tinker’ with his song- around 8 months ago. (Which I guess also makes Jack one of our most patient members as well!)
There have been quite a number of ‘permutations’ of ‘Mania II’, I have ultimately decided on this version.
I’d like to say a quick ‘Thank You’ to my friend Myshkin (Ross) for his terrific suggestions with this arrangement- I’d still be sitting and staring blankly at the screen without your help!
Jack says:
Mania was posted very early in our time
here and Alfred was just amazing in his comments and support for a
"newbie" Macjammer. I was floored when he asked if he could work on
the track because I had listened to some of his work and was duly
impressed. The thing about Alfred is he works at a project until it
is done to his satisfaction .. and you can count on months of
anticipation. He was kind enough to send small "fixes" of where he was
at in the project and it kept me smiling every time I received one. I
think this tune is now just as much his as mine ... and I am very
proud of that. Alfred my friend ... thanks for the ride .. it was
"killer" !

Lyrics
goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...goodbye
i know how to cry
i know we must die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye..goodbye
here is the noose
you are the tree
please take great care
you are holding me
you are the key
i cannot see
did you just whisper
you are leaving me
i know how to cry
i know all things die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye..goodbye
what can you say
i say too much
i need to breathe
it's killing me
i break the rules
you pick them up
you have been there
each time i look
i know how to cry
i know all things die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye...goodbye
inside the book
i think is me
i am afraid of what i see
is it a dream
i can't wake up
i cannot feel you next to me
i know how to cry......
i know how to cry
i know we must die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye..goodbye
here is the noose
you are the tree
please take great care
you are holding me
you are the key
i cannot see
did you just whisper
you are leaving me
i know how to cry
i know all things die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye..goodbye
what can you say
i say too much
i need to breathe
it's killing me
i break the rules
you pick them up
you have been there
each time i look
i know how to cry
i know all things die
i know you are gone
i don't know why
you said goodbye...goodbye
inside the book
i think is me
i am afraid of what i see
is it a dream
i can't wake up
i cannot feel you next to me
i know how to cry......

Excellent work from both of you, really turns up the manic-factor, Alf! But then, it is planted firmly in the creative soil of Jack's writing/singing. I'm afraid I'm reduced to Jack's almost speechless "right then..." and Jack's cool artwork too. Sigh. Wonderful collaborative effort here. I don't even mind the fade out, seems proper in this context.
ttfn,
