    Grow every stem cell
    Search every gene
    Sequence every Exome
    Till you find the key

    Misfolded proteins
    Clumping in my brain
    Please disaggregate my
    Alpha synuclein

    Drill a hole in my brain
    See how deep you can go
    Then insert some old tube
    Filled with a placebo

    I’ve got dysfunctional
    Mitochondria
    Lack of Dopa in my
    Basal ganglia

    There’s a breakthrough out there,
    But there’s one thing I wish
    That you give it to us,
    Not to rats or to fish

    Grow every stem cell
    Search every gene
    Sequence every Exome
    Till you cure Pd

     

  • Red Light Blue Light

    Parkinson duet performed by Joerg Veselka and Connie Weixler
    Words and music by Joerg Veselka

    Red light blue light is shining, shining through the night
    Red light blue light, I’m crawling, I’m crawling, on the floor
    Red light blue light, I’m hoping, yeah I’m hoping to see you again
    Red light blue light, I’m crying, yeah I’m crying, I miss you so

    Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible incredible, unimpossible
    Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, yeah incredible, unimpossible – without you

    Red light blue light is shining, shining – through the night
    Red light blue light, I’m crawling, crawling – on the floor
    Red light blue light, I’m hoping, hoping – to see you again
    Red light blue light, I’m crying, crying, I miss you so

    Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, incredible, unimpossible without you
    Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, oh incredible, unimpossible – without you

    Red light blue light is shining, shining – through the night
    Red light blue light, I’m crawling, I’m crawling – on the floor
    Red light blue light, I’m hoping, yeah I’m hoping – to see you again
    Red light blue light, I’m crying, yeah I’m crying, I miss you so

    Life’s unpredictable, hmmm incomprehensible, hmmm incredible, unimpossible without you
    Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, hmmm incredible, unimpossible – without you
    Hmmm, Hmmm, life’s unimpossible – without you

     

  • Wasn’t I the One

    Parkinson duet performed by Jacques Bush and Gerald Ganglbauer
    Words and music by Jacques Bush/Marino Acapulco

    Spring and I - 1
    Gerald Ganglbauer, Jacques Bush, Marino Acapulco

    You treat me well, but I don’t mind.
    From the well the plight is coming … coming bad.
    I sit and watch the hours,
    Wonder if I’ll ever make it home … so tired of hanging.

    You treat me well but I don’t mind.
    You think your every wish is my command.
    Once I was waiting for the fame,
    But things ain’t never what they seem to be.

    When I wake up, I feel homeless,
    Wasn’t I the one?
    Understood and punished all the way.

    You treat me well, but I don’t mind.
    From the well the plight is coming … coming bad.
    I sit and watch the hours,
    Wonder if I’ll ever make it home.

    When I wake up, I feel homeless,
    Wasn’t I the one?
    Understood and punished all the way.

    So long, hey! Do I know
    Wasn’t I the one.

    I drank the whole week away
    Give me everything to be …

    When I wake up, I feel homeless
    Wasn’t I the one …
    So misunderstood who’s found where he belongs …

  • So Here I Am

    Parkinsong duet performed by Johnny Schwarzinger and Uli Sajko
    Words and music by Johnny Schwarzinger, poem by Uli Sajko

    Johnny Schwarzinger

    Noch wirft die Sonne einen Blick
    Durch mein Fenster jeden Tag
    Das Morgenlicht für mich ist Glück
    Wünschte es nie enden mag

    Doch schwächer wird von Mal zu Male
    Das Strahlen kürzer und im Nu
    Legen sich dunkel herbstlich fahle Gedanken
    Dem Schweigen noch dazu

    Contemplate myself in the mirror
    Mirror inside my soul

    I’m on the warpath with myself
    Really out of step

    Feels like I’m on a wire
    Cutting all the lines

    To come out in the open
    Not aching anymore

    So here I stay – So here I go
    No matter if it’s sun or rain
    So here I go – So here I stay
    No matter if it’s sun or rain
    So here I go – So here I stay
    No matter if it’s sun or rain

    Put the sun in my pocket
    Wash the clouds out of my mind

    There’s no need to protect
    My eyes from the light

    To come out in the open
    Not aching anymore

    So here I am – So here I stay
    No matter if it’s sun or rain
    So here I stay – So here I go
    No matter if it’s sun or rain
    So here I go – So here I stay

    Noch wirft die Sonne einen Blick
    Durch mein Fenster … jeden Tag

    Born Oldbury the Black Country West Midlands England 28/11/1952

    My work engages with the notions of identity through place, voice and histories. I write, perform, am a public speaker, radio show host, academic, events organiser, community project leader and freelance project co-ordinator, among other things. I recorded the above song during a year long project I organised with John Langford to raise funds for local Parkinson support groups in the Black Country and Birmingham. The song came about from a memory session I did with a dementia group and an elderly lady began to sing an old chapel song (only the first line as that was all she could remember). It developed into the song on the Parkinsong Duets CD. I asked Ray Andrews a local businessman who has Parkinson’s. He was the starting point of our fund raising efforts in 2018 and an inspiration.

  • Believe in Everything You Do

    Parkinsong duet performed by Pete Wain and Andy Hitchman
    Words and music by Pete Wain

    Pete Wain
    Andy Hitchman

    One life is all we get
    So make the most of it
    Fulfil your dreams, follow your heart
    Reach for the stars

    Open your mind, feel compassion
    But don’t let it blind you

    Don’t close your eyes angel, be aware of everything
    You got your whole life in front of you
    Who knows what tomorrow may bring

    Listen to the sermon, let your conscience grow
    Feel your heartbeat, let your lifeblood flow

    Believe in everything you do
    Remember nobody can touch you
    When your mind is free of guilt and your heart is true

    True love is never easy to find
    And it only takes a fool to be blind
    Open your mind, feel it in your heart
    Reach for the stars

    Believe in everything you do
    Remember nobody can touch you
    When your mind is free of guilt and your heart is true

    Believe in everything you do
    Remember nobody can touch you
    When your mind is free of guilt and your heart is true
    Believe in everything you do

     

  • It’s Always Me

    Parkinsong duet performed by The Base and Gerald Ganglbauer
    Words and music by Norbert Wally

    Gerald Ganglbauer
    Norbert Wally

    If you hit your head on the door it’s my fault
    Because I left it open for you to go thru it
    And if I had closed it you would have cursed me in a similar style

    You put me in charge of your moods and your minds
    Of the the things you forget, of the things you can’t find
    Of your smiles, of your fears, of your pains and another half sleepless night

    Why is it always me?
    Who knows where it’s going
    And where the wind’s blowing, it’s me

    Why is it always me?
    Who can make u feel better and make u feel worse
    Who’s in charge of the fate of your whole universe
    It is me

    Now why is it me around who your world’s turning?
    And why would I take care of all things concerning
    Your primary needs and your wishes u don’t wanna talk about?

    Now, I’ll be your hero and I’ll be your bag full of dirt
    You can kiss me and kick me and hurt me
    And lick me and call me things
    Stupid things you do not care about

    Why is it always me?
    Who knows where it’s going
    And where the wind’s blowing, it’s me

    Why is it always me?
    Who’s got  the control, who can save every soul
    It is me

    Why is it always me?
    Some say it’s a bliss but I see it as a curse
    I’m in charge of the fate of your whole universe
    It is me

  • Not the River of Mercy

    Parkinsong duet performed by The Base and Gerald Ganglbauer
    Words and music by Norbert Wally

    The Base listen to the mixed tracks
    Black Box Sound

    The river I swim is not the river of mercy
    The river I’m in is not the river of mercy

    I took a swim the other day
    To wash away my sins and worries

    I washed my hands I washed my face
    but I can’t stay in here forever

    The river I swim is not the river of mercy
    The river I’m in is not the river of mercy

    It doesn’t wash away my pains
    It doesn’t grant me absolution

    When I get out I’ll take the chance
    To wash my hands in muddy water

    The river I swim is not the river of mercy
    The river I’m in is not the river of mercy

    I’m gonna swim it after you
    Pray you’ll wait out in the ocean

    The river I swim is not the river of mercy
    The river I’m in is not the river of mercy

  • How Will It Be

    Parkinsong duet performed by Badhoven and Gerald Ganglbauer
    Words and music by Kurt C Greilberger

    Badhoven
    Kurt C Greilberger (Badhoven)

    I’m driving here alone
    The road I’ve ever known
    When the night comes in
    Will it change
    My life so rough
    I ask my stars above
    How will I know, how

    But I’m here to be with you
    Forever be with you

    Baby, how will it be
    If I’m holding you tight
    How will it be
    If I love you tonight
    How will it be
    If I’m sharing all
    All my dreams with you

    I feel I’m not alone
    With the fight I’ve ever known
    Will you stand by me
    Take my hand, take me all
    Take the centre of my soul
    Then you will know, you will

    Why I’m here to be with you
    Forever be with you

    Baby, how will it be
    If I’m holding you tight
    How will it be
    If I love you tonight
    How will it be
    If I’m sharing all
    All my dreams with you

    Solo

    I’m here to be with you
    Forever be with you

    Baby, how will it be
    If I’m holding you tight
    How will it be
    If I love you tonight
    How will it be
    If I’m sharing all
    All my dreams with you

    Forever be with you

    Baby, how will it be
    How will it be, how will it be
    If I’m sharing all
    All my dreams with you
    Forever be with you
    How will it be
