What If (john mingolla)
What if I made you laugh?
Would you turn away?
Would you want to play
The game?
What if I gave you flowers?
Would you sigh?
Would you let them die?
Would you try,
To know me?
What if we were friends?
Would you call me every day?
Would you still want to play?
With me?
What if we make it to 90?
Would you hold my hand?
Would you understand?
Life is grand.
What if I told you I love you?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Would you lie to me?
Would you let it be?

"LONELINESS REMEMBERS WHAT HAPPINESS FORGETS"
John Mingolla & Nicolas Garon
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
The days are long I regret
Empty days sleepless nights nothing is right
Since you went away since you went away
I cannot face the day
I cannot face the day
Oh heartache I remember you’ve been here before
You’re not welcome leave i implore
Oh heartache I remember you’ve been here before
You’re not welcome leave, leave I implore
Oh Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
The days are long I regret
Oh heartache I remember you’ve been here before
You’re not welcome leave i implore

LOCKDOWN (John Mingolla & Nicolas Garon)
LOCKDOWN
Little shops on little streets
Where we found our little treats
Are no more, are no more, are no more.
Parks without any seats
People are afraid to meet, afraid , afraid to meet, afraid to meet.
Covered smiles, six feet apart
It’s enough to break your heart, to break your heart, to break your heart, to break your heart.
2020 was the year
We were forced to live in fear, to live in fear, to live in fear, to live in fear!
Hotdog vendor left the block
Ice cream vans out of stock
Free us from this masquerade
I am not afraid, not afraid, not afraid not afraid.

Friendship
Listen to my heart
Before we part
The world is divided
Many misguided
How do I find the truth?
In my glass of vermouth
Everything I know is in my mind
Some will say I am blind
No matter what, if you go
Je t’aime tu es beau
I will always love you
Even when I’m blue
Colours change their hue
In the morning dew
Friendship is forever
Never say never
So listen to my heart
Before we part
listen to my heart
Before we part
Before we part

PURE LAINE (john mingolla)
PURE LAINE
Montreal my home, my identity
Nonentity
Pure wool has no colour
No otherSome say, some say
Today as I age I say
Pure wool has many colours
Even gray
Pure wool has many colours
Even gray
Montréal ma vie, mon identité sans importance
La pure laine n'a pas couleur
Aucun autre Certains disent, certains disent
Aujourd'hui en vieillissant je dis
La pure laine a beaucoup de couleurs
Même gris
La pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine, pure laine, la pure laine, pure laine, pure laineIn the back seat of a taxi
Rushing to the Reddy
Mother was not ready
Born between two worlds
Told I was different all the time
A clock with no chime,
A clock does more than chime, more than chime, more than chime
Sur la banquette arrière d'un taxi
En allant au ReddyMère n'était pas prête
Né entre deux mondes
Le monde dis je suis différent tout le tempsUne horloge sans coucou
Une horloge fait plus que coucou,
La pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine, la pure laine

The Spider And The Fly (John Mingolla)
A melancholy, contemplative, multidisciplinary music video (painting, sculpture, photography, video, design, music) for those sad silent and grey Sundays.
When I first heard this great piece of music and lyrics I was touched and had to "reply" in my humble way. Thank you! Stone Cold Fox and Kevin Olken for the inspiration. Profit or copyright infringement were never "floating, turning round my mind". Are you the Spider or the fly?
La première fois que j'ai entendu ce superbe morceau de musique et ses paroles, j'ai été touché et j'ai dû "répondre" avec humilité. Je vous remercie! Stone Cold Fox et Kevin Olken pour l'inspiration. Les profits ou les atteintes aux droits d’auteur n’ont jamais été "flottants, renversant mon esprit". Es-tu l'araignée ou la mouche?
Quando ho ascoltato per la prima volta questo fantastico pezzo di musica e testi, sono stato toccato e ho dovuto "rispondere" nel mio umile modo. Grazie! Stone Cold Fox e Kevin Olken per l'ispirazione. La violazione del profitto o del copyright non è mai stata "fluttuante, mi ha fatto cambiare idea". Sei il ragno o la mosca?
"The Spider And The Fly" Video, vocals and guitar: John Mingolla, Piano: Nicolas Garon. Original song by Kevin Olken and Stone Cold Fox.

OISEAU DES ÎLES DE LA MADELEINE 2 (John Mingolla & Nicolas Garon)
Je l'entendais à tous les matins mais je l'ai jamais vu
I heard it every morning but I never saw it
Dans l'arbre devant ma maison
Les feuilles vibreraient dans le vent
Je l’entendais à tous les matins
Oiseau des Iles De La Madeleine
Je l’ai jamais vu avec un ton parfait
Une chanson pour le nouveau jour
Soleil ou pluie de la nature
peut être grise
Somewhere in the tree outside my home
With leaves fluttering in the breeze
I hear a bird I’ve never seen with perfect tone
A song to welcome a new day
Rain or shine
A song from nature can be grey anytime
