Head Over Heels

Original song by TrippSideBrown: www.youtube.com/@MikeWoodside-sv9gr
he was the only one who had a plan
nobody else knew where to go
care without fear of popular demand
that's what a leader's made of
now we're moving backwards
i can see it coming again
look around and soon you'll find your enemy's your only friend
does anybody remember laughter
was that carefree child really me? 
did you get what you were after? 
what was that and how did I turn to me?
We'll never reach our destination without a place to start
finger on the trigger back up against the wall
go ahead and take the first shot
or realize that my agenda benefits all
every destination needs a place to start
I'm not a destination but a place to
it would be so easy just to give up now
but I try, as I bleed, I must succeed
never could've done what I did if it wasn't for the ones I did it for
every destination needs a place to
every destination needs a place to start
hey mister sister why so much enraged
nobody wants to hear you...
spin like a twister pointing all this blame
when was the last time you did anything for someone else
one common goal one aspiration peace in all our hearts
we'll never reach that destination without a place to start
every destination needs a place to
every destination needs a place to start
everybody needs everybody

A Place To Start - TrippSideBrown

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

I read recently that 
The Darkness have scored a Number One on the US iTunes Rock Chart after Taylor Swift was seen dancing to the band’s seminal hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ with boyfriend Travis Kelce at the US Open tennis.
Thinking to myself after reading this I thought I’m sure I recorded that track the same year it was released in 2003 as it was a great energetic party track for the set. I’m sure there are many covers of it on SC but this one was literally months after its number 2 chart position in England. 
I finally found it and converted it over,  so for a bit of fun I’m thought I would release it and maybe release the other two in the future at some point.
First time I’ve released a cover so should be interesting how it’s received.
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums 

I believe in a thing called Love……

A song from the 2000s band Mercy Corps. First time recording my voice. It's, uh, harsh. But I wanted to sound like John Lydon of PIL, you know all nasally, pissed off, and in your face. I worry I just got the nasally part right. 🤧

A bit of a new thing for me to be involved with but I enjoyed the challenge that faced me. Firstly to sing someone else’s lyrics is a real first on a collaboration and to work off a sketch that was to be finalised.
The Eclectic Collective is an open collaboration where musicians are invited to contribute. 
Ken of K2  & the three invited me and sent his sketch and the lyrics by Joseph Shelton for me to work with. 
Joseph's lyrics I liked and  Ken’s sketch was tempting enough for me to think this can work really well. 
So I hope you enjoy the song and I thank everyone involved for bringing it together.
There are four different mixes on the cloud of this song I’ve released my favourite. 
Generation X a song about being kids in the years born between 1965 and 1981. The good old days apparently!

Generation X

V1
Where were you on those days gone by
Were you out by the tracks where the lone train whistle cries
Or kicking up rocks on those dusty roads of dirt
Or skating on streets 
wrestling on the grass beneath endless sky

Chorus 
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
On days gone bye
On days gone by
For all its lows and for all its highs 
Where were you on those days gone by

V2 
In an attempt to release their star light
Bonded by hours
To a brotherhood we believed would never die


On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2


Middle8 
All the times we returned bottles for cash
All the times we placed coins on the railway track
All the times we watch the street lights when they came on it was time to go home

V3. 
Where were you on those days gone by
From within this dull petrification of time
On days gone by
On days gone by
On days gone by

Lead break 

V4
Where were you on those days gone by
With a tape in the walkman
Playing the soundtrack of passing time
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2
On days gone by
For all its lows for all its highs 
On days gone by

Don't Folk Song

Itinerance

Trouble's a shadow it clings to my feet 
Lurking in corners on every street 
It whispers my name like it's part of the show 
Always in trouble following me wherever I go

Trouble chases me .mp3

****Lyrics****

I was lucky, my folks, they saw the fire,
Never once told me I’d burn out or tire,
They cheered me on, even when I was scared,
Saw the excitement inside me, how much I cared.

But I’ve seen friends caught in a storm alone,
Doubted by the people they called their own,
Told they’d fail, like they were wasting their time,
Trying to break them down, mess with their mind.

I saw them fight through the noise and doubt,
Holding on when no one was about.

Here’s to the fighters, the quiet and strong,
Holding on tight when everything’s wrong,
You never gave up, you kept pushing through,
And now you’re shining, yeah, that light’s all you.

I know of the nights that felt too damn long,
The whispered doubts that said you don’t belong,
But you found a way, you carved out your place,
Turned every doubt into strength and grace.

It ain’t the voices that tell who we are,
It’s the guts to reach for your own damn star,
With or without their cheers in your ear,
You hold your own light, you must fight through your fear.

Here’s to the fighters, the quiet and strong,
Holding on tight when everything’s wrong,
You never gave up, you kept pushing through,
And now you’re shining, yeah, that light’s all you.

So if you’re listening, and feeling alone,
There’s no need to face this on your own,
Find people who get it, help each other rise,
It’s not easy alone, but together,
Together, we fly.
