Charles Mingus

Charles Mingus Jr. (April 22, 1922 – January 5, 1979) was a highly-influential American jazz double bassist, composer and bandleader. Mingus's compositions retained the hot and soulful feel of hard bop and drew heavily from black gospel music while sometimes drawing on elements of Third Stream, free jazz, and classical music. Yet Mingus avoided categorization, forging his own brand of music that fused tradition with unique and unexplored realms of jazz. He once cited Duke Ellington and church as his main influences. more »

Weird nightmare
You haunt my every dream
Weird nightmare
Tell me what's your scheme?
Can it be that you're a part
Of a lonely, broken heart?

Weird nightmare
Must you torment me?
Mid nightmare
There's big pain and misery
In a heart that's loved and lost
Take away the grief it's caused

Can't sleep at night
Turn, twist in fright
With the fear that I'll live it all again
In my dreams

You're there to haunt me
When you say he doesn't want me
I've been hurt
Oh do you know what that means?

Weird nightmare
Take away this dream you've born
Weird nightmare
Mend a heart that's torn
And has paid the cost of love a thousand fold
Bring me a love with a heart of gold

Nightmare
Take away this dream you've born
Weird nightmare
Mend a heart that's torn
And has paid the price of love a thousand fold
Bring me a love with a heart of gold
Weird nightmare
