Sweet Virginia(The Rolling Stones)cover

Sky Wood-great big ol' love

This is a LIVE track we recorded on Sunday the 12th of Jan  14. The Southern Comfort Looper Cocktail-Part 3

Soul Surfer

We stand here shoulder to shoulder I say 
Waiting for our break
And as the moment arises from nowhere
Humbled, for heavens sake 

I never felt so free now people 
Deep on the Ocean bed 
Look up to the surface and sunlight
Endorphins they need fed

I'm a simple man, with a surfing dream
& I'll keep my line in check
Humility is the only way
No egos here on deck 

Im a soul surfer 
I'm a soul surfer
Drifting on through the sands of time
I'm gonna take what comes my way

Players

Andy McSweeney-Bass guitar and backing vocals

Nite Klub- Cover

Outta Space-cover

I was messing around on the guitar with "Praise You" by Fat Boy Slim and decided it might sound cool recorded on the looper pedal.. 
I used a few drum samples and used garage band on the ipad for the bass guitar. Everything else is LIVE.
Hope you enjoy.

MERRY XMAS

The Boondock Hippy-"Praise You" Cover by Fat Boy SLim

I wrote this song after we nearly lost our dear mother a couple of months ago. She had a brain hemmorage. However, she has made a miraculous recovery. This track is in homage to her strength, courage and determination.

Dear Ma

 Oooh

 I Woke up on a Tuesday morn, 
felt like all my world had torn
A phone call from my dear ol Dad, 
Son, your Ma ain't doin so well

Cause The days passed into weeks until, 
things got worse and even still,
We kept belief we had no choice, 
couldnt bear the thought of my life without dear ma
Our own dear Ma

Hey

But things they did all start to rise, 
a fighter through and through no lies,
Soon she laughed and soon we cried
couldnt bear the thought of my life without dear ma 
Our own dear Ma

No, your time isn't now
No, your time isn't now oh oh oh
No, your time isn't now
No, your time isn't now

Hey

There lies a lot of work ahead, 
but you know this, it's all been said
a measure of your character, 
the strongest person I have known

So here we are and here you stand, 
from the depths and on dry land.
Time stood still but now it flows. 
Feel the sand beneath your feet my dear ol Ma, 
our own dear Ma

No your time wasn't now
No your time wasn't now


DEAR MA

FLY

Major Tom to Ground control it's time to get onboard 
Got to get into the air, like an eagle with a sword
Feel the wind beneath your sails, and let your spirit soar
Makin tracks, hell to the max, gotta open up the door

Sing it with me

Fly like a bird, in the sky, in any weather 
I'm like a phoenix on fire, light up the sky and fly

Ride up to the atmosphere where there is room to breathe,
Hold your breath and count to ten, hell grab the sun and leave 
Ain't no time to look below and wonder what's in store
Leave all fear back on the ground and let your spirit soar 

So

Fly like a bird, in the sky, in any weather 
I'm like a phoenix on fire, light up the sky and fly

What u see is what u get, that why I'm the air,
Cast a shadow on the trees, but I don't really care 
Life is short and sweet my friend, so make the most of it,
Get the wood and tinder nest, let's get this fire lit 

Sing it with me
Fly like a bird, in the sky, in any weather 
I'm like a phoenix on fire, light up the sky and fly x3

Lyrics
Walk on brother don't be shy 
Throw your feelings in the sky
Eden is the the place to be 
Hell Make your own sweet sanctuary 

This freak in me is callin out
I Lose my shit and roundabout 
Stamp my flag deep in the ground 
& Punch the air to make a sound 

One love in this muddy world
One love in this crazy world -arise dear sir arise 

Space cadets and highlanders
They Raise the roof and cause a stir 
Stamp your feet into the mud
Go down swingin with a thud

The freak in me is callin out
I Lose my shit and roundabout 
Stamp my flag deep in the ground 
& Punch the air to make it sound 

One love in this muddy world
One love in this crazy world -arise, dear sir arise

Ooo
Comin and a goin 
Smiling and a laughin
And a lovin not a fightin
All I see is givin 
(repeat)

Dear Sir Arise

Howlin at the moon(lyrics)
Stay up late and drink alone..."howling at the moon"
Throw the dice & be unknown "howling at the moon"
Raise the roof & light it up "howling at the moon"
Cause Lord I want to drink the cup "howling at the moon"

Take your head clean out o the sand 
Howlin at the moon

Skinny dip into the sea "howlin at the moon"
Be the man you want to be "howlin at the moon"
Let the teeth & claws come out "howlin at the moon"
Scream and cry & shout it out "howlin at the moon"

Take your head clean out o the sand 
Howlin at the moon

Let those inhibitions all go,  the second that you open the door
Holding onto weight that can go, is something that you mustn't no mustn't condone x2

Stay up late and riot run "howlin at the moon"
Take a walk into the sun "howlin at the moon"
Raise the roof & light it up "howling at the moon"
Cause Lord I want to drink the cup "howling at the moon"

Take your head clean out o the sand 
Howlin at the moon

Let those inhibitions all go,  the second that you open the door
Holding onto   that can go, is something that you mustn't condone x2

Howlin at the Moon

The Boondock Hippy-Can’t Hold Me Down

Can’t hold me down

Gonna get myself, myself arrested...
Jump right outta plane and then I cut right through the rain

They say I’m past my prime 
But I don’t waste a dime 
I'm Gonna pour myself a scotch
Hell and take it up a notch(Hey)

Hooold up Hooold up Lay it down
Hooold up Hooold up Lay me down

I'm like a deal that's done
Staring at a blazin sun

Hold onto the recipe(hold it tight)
Live life oh so messily(outta sight)

Cant Hold me down

Gonna dive right in -with all the fishes
Not a second glance now -at my wishes
Saddle up and ride on a soft tail hummin Harley
Take a leaf right out I say o the book of Marley

Run to the edge
& onto the ledge
take a leap of faith boy
And never play it safe

Hooold up Hooold up Lay it down
Hooold up Hooold up Lay me down

I'm like a deal that's done
Staring at a blazin sun

Hold onto the recipe(hold it tight)
Live life oh so messily(outta sight)

Can’t hold me down 
Don't hold me down

Can't Hold me Down

Rocker to Raver

The Boondock Hippy-"Space Jump" feat PIANO Man
A song dedicated to the mighty feat of Felix Baumgartner

Lyrics
Up he goes, on his way a height that won't be matched,
Venture to the edge of space and open up your hatch,
Red Bull they will take control and guide you safely down,
So come on Felix, come on Son, leap yourself Earthbound

A sure-fire leap of faith
A sure-fire leap of faith

A Space Jump x2

It takes some balls to do such things, but someone's got the right,
To push the human boundaries to a daring brand new plight,
Red Bull they will take control and guide you safely down,
So come on Felix, come on Son, leap yourself Earthbound

A sure-fire leap of faith
A sure-fire leap of faith

A Space Jump x4

See the world from a different place,
Through the skies for the human race
Take your page in the history books
Such a record needs a second look x2
