Restless Soul   

Spent such a long time Searching, you never knew what you were searching for.
Spent such a long time working, you never knew who you were working for.

Spent such a long time dreaming, you never knew what you could wake up to.
Spent such a long time thinking, you could not feel what was real to you.

A mind that has to know, you are a restless soul.
Your blind to its control,   you are a restless soul.

Spent such a long time drifting, you never knew you were so close to shore.
Spent such a long time listening, to what you could not hear anymore.

A mind that has to know, you are a restless soul.
Your blind to its control,  you are a restless soul.

(A.Hallam September 2013)

This is a happy account of that special time of the year where we can often just wander through the throngs of people and spirit of the Christmas season. Nat wanted to capture that classic, old school holiday pop song vibe. Think 1950’s or 60’s. No need to look for anything but the most common denominators here as we wish everyone the happiest of holidays the Christmas season!

Lyrics: Christmas Time With You

Whooooo can you feel it
There’s magic in the air
The smell of home made Christmas pie
And there’s yule tide planning ‘till the morning light

All the world is full of cheer
And the church bells ring out clear
The glow of lights blocking out the night
As it jingles and it jangles to our hearts delight

So we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song

People rush to hurry by
All the parcels sweetly tied
Theres’s a Santa ringing a shiny bell
But he’s not St. Nick and the kids can tell

But the magic of his Cheer, 
Will remind us why we’re here
To rekindle love for all mankind
And to share a bit of kindness through this holy time

And so we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song..
Kiss me sweetly, and hold my hand
On this corner where the band
Is playing our Christmas song

Christmas Time With You

'Massaging The Ego' is a fusion track inspired by the thought of self conceit, which of course is the "ego". So when most of us do or achieve something that pleases us, this is us 'Massaging The Ego'. I'm not sure if I am totally blown away by this present work, but my ego seems to be happy enough. So massaging accomplished, here is the track.

Massaging The Ego

Warning, please do not drive or operate machinery while listening to this track which contains ASMR tiggers and was recorded in a frequency other than the 440Hz of most music played on modern radio stations. Always listen to our tracks at a lower volume, as well, preferably through headphones for maximum effect. 

We created this track to soothe the pain we've felt... physically, emotionally, and spiritually throughout our body in light of the elections, Covid Chaos, and propensity for discord within us, since we don't agree with the majority of outspoken divisiveness we encounter when leaving our home... since we choose to read from a variety of sanctioned and unsanctioned resources... rather than drinking the kool-aid poured for us from the skewed news and ever-increasingly exposition of the failings of the "sanctioned information only" western education systems.

We asked spirit to guide this project, after the grief we were feeling upon returning home from voting on election day. When we're a gender fluid, lesbian, disabled, veteran in a female physicality... the weight of each of those "minority statuses" BEing within us while approaching, entering, standing in line, and voting amidst signage, campaign representatives we encountered outside as we entered and left the polling center to cast our vote amongst a hugely biased conservative majority who have no problem exercising their "right to free speech," while neglecting their responsibility to extend those same "rights" to "all the people..." can create so much pain and tension within us. We asked our angels, guides, and ancestors to take the pain we were feeling and use it to show us how to express it and release it in a healthy way. 

This was the most amazing experience we've had to date in creating a piece. Every note we played and recorded was Divinely guided and perfectly placed, the first night we worked on this piece. We only made one small adjustment of placement to one segment within one of the instrument tracks. The second night, as we progressed through the same guided request and worked towards completing this piece in record time, compared to most of our works, WE FELL ASLEEP 3 TIMES!!! And, we didn't fall asleep during the relaxing trail out; but, during the hypnotic percussive sections!!! (We have to caveat that we aren't a scientist... so we cannot for certain say whether we were asleep or if we simply entered an extreme trance; but, we were "OUT!!!") We "came back," before the song ended... and from what we've learned these past few months... that's more indicative of coming out of a trance; because, if you're asleep, you typically don't awaken before a meditative piece ends; but, you continue sleeping once the song has ended. So, as we stated, we cannot tell you for certain which was the case. We can share that whatever happened, we have felt like we had some sort of serious transformative experience while creating this track with our angels, guides, and ancestors... and since those three instances... we have more inner peace and calm than we've ever experienced, as an adult who's experienced multiple traumas. So, as we state at the beginning, please never drive or operate machinery when listening to our creations. We hope you have as equally a transformative experience.

This song is for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person. As anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist knows, it is incredibly painful. Years can be wasted staying stuck in the relationship triangle of frustration, self-pity or believing you can fix them. When you finally realize that the only way to move forward is to completely cut them out of your life forever you are on the first steps to freedom. Expressing the anger you feel from all the abuse and time wasted is the first step to healing. Hope this song can help you to feel it’s okay to be angry. 

Share this song with someone who needs to hear this.

Mad As Hell

Serendipity and the Dog was written whilst Gina was feeling sad one Sunday at the local growers market in Marrickville, Sydney. Sitting, downcast with her coffee, a friendly little dog wandered up to her.... and so the song was inspired.
The serendiptous part is not referenced in the song but it's worth telling - Gina was driving a Toyota Tarago at the time and the front bumper was hanging out and down from an earlier bingle..... A removal truck backed into the Tarago whilst it was parked with Gina sitting inside.... On inspecting the damage she discovered that the truck had pushed the bumper back into place ! :0 

This song was live-recorded by the four-piece band.
Guitar - Mark, Vocals - Gina, Bass - Chris, Cajon - Yoshi

LYRICS
Today the sun is burning
Children are fighting
Parents are lashing out
The poorest stray dog 
Comes up and lays 
A stick at my feet
But I won't play

Oh hey
I'll see you any day
Up down high or low
And I can take those blows
I could be there
And ease it from you

I backed my car into a tree
And it was just last night
A truck backed into me
My second coffee
It's one too many
Oh I should really eat
But I'm not hungry

Whoa ho
I'll see you any day
Up down high or low
And I can take those blows
I could be there 
And ease it from you

Today did you go walking
Through crowded streets and malls
Today did you go walking
Was that your day?

.... enjoy

Serendipity And The Dog

This is sort of like a cover of two songs at once: Flying by the Beatles and A Deep Blue Day by Brian Eno, Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois. The two songs always seemed related to me. Like Eno, I used a Suzuki Omnichord to lay down the rhythm and washes of sound. It's the holidays so I put a few sleigh bells and voila, it's now a Christmas song. I'm pretty sure this is my first Beatles cover. Peace and love.

Flying - The Beatles

Happy new year 2023 !!

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)
