John Lyle | Aaron Johnson | Pureblood | Hit Wizard | Sexuality Up to Player | Open |
Bio: John came from an uptight, traditional, Pureblood, Slytherin home. His parents were officious and unpleasant, and they always showed favouritism to his other siblings, which he had 9 of. He was the 10th and youngest child, leaving him forgotten in the shadows. He was sorted into Slytherin, nonetheless, and recently graduated with straight Os on his subjects. Much to his parents’ dismay, he didn’t become a healer, but became a Hit Wizard in hoping that he could prove the Slytherin stereotype wrong. He was more ambitious and cunning than traditional and judgmental, although he never let people close to him and was always pushing people away with his snark and sarcastic responses. He wasn’t at all shocked when he was asked by his colleague Harry Potter to join a task force to help solve an arising scam.

I KNOW YOU RIDER Could be a story or it could be true Could be about me, it could be about you I’ve lost so many reasons for things I think I’ve done If I thought this pride of fools Called the shots and made the rules I’d take a flying leap back to the place from where I came I know you, rider, but I love you just the same You’ve been trying to break a code You’ve been trying to drop a load You’ve been carrying your own mountain Past the point of no return You’ve been living where the sun goes down Where what goes around, comes around They say a storm is brewing but they won’t give it a name I know you, rider, but I love you just the same Waves are lapping like a big dog’s tongue Just like it happened back when we were young You’re not here to solve the problems of the world Standing on the corner with your wings pinned back Barefoot and pregnant on a mountain path Screaming to the heavens like a keeper of the flame I know you, rider, but I love you just the same I know you, rider, like a dreamer knows his hand Like a rose that grows you’ll come to know I’m your biggest fan In the velvet afterglow of memory I go Footloose and funny in the shadow of the show I hear you whisper there ain’t no wind at all You made it here without a map All the stars smile behind your back You tremble at the mention of the One who has no name I know you, rider, but I love you just the same
HOLD ON AS SHE GOES Outside The Golden Lantern hoboes wear no clothes They set a certain standard I’m gonna go below Look at the faceless wonder blowing through the rye Tripping ‘cross the tundra, thrilling to the sky The pouring rain keeps saying hold on as she goes There’s no time to waste in this Holy place Hold on as she goes The milk of human kindness warming in the sun How better to remind us, nothing will be done The pouring rain keeps saying hold on as she goes There’s no time to waste in this Holy place Hold on as she goes Outside The Golden Lantern the fires have gone cold The homeless search the ashes for the things they’ve been told The pouring rain keeps saying hold on as she goes There’s no time to waste in this Holy place Hold on as she goes
JOHN LYLE is a very talented Canadian musician, song-writer and friend.
I would like to introduce John and his music to my fellow Tumblrs.
Below, are the lyrics of one of his songs, A Long Long Time Ago,
followed by what we could call his un-liner notes - read it, and you’ll see what
I mean. The link will transport you to his CBC page, where the opening song
that you’ll be hearing, is this very one. Enjoy.
A Long Long Time Ago
Took a flight on the back of the night
A long long time ago
Took a stand on an ocean of sand
Why I did I’ll never know
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A Long Long Time Ago
A Long Long Time Ago
Not surprised by the look in their eyes
A long long time ago
Life was cheap at the end of my feet
Where unknown shadows had to grow
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A Long Long Time Ago
A Long Long Time Ago
Such was I like a wheel on the fly
A long long time ago
Way behind with no shot at the line
Hobbled down a slippery road
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A Long Long Time Ago
A Long Long Time Ago
Notes
The centre of the song is about having no centre, because the song is about the past’s effect upon a fictitious entity, the imagined self. The past itself being unreal, can have no effect on anything, much less another falsehood. The song is about someone who doesn’t exist, even in the here and now, living a flywheel existence. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did pretending to have created it.
