The Rendezvous

a bit of 'emotional zen' 😂 ☸ ..........  .......  ...   .
the pastor sings along with a 'new age' radio station and his memories
everything is ephemeral...sometimes.... :)

sometimes you rest
just right
into the day
sometimes your
little troubles seem
to fade away
on the divine wind
that blows
why ? i don't know
some.....................times

blows away
all the sins
leaves you clean
again...

and underneath that burning sun
we found a place where life 'begun' (😂)
again, anew
me & you
in the wil-der-ness

and under stars
at night
me and you dreamed
big
until the morning light
came in again
over the surface
of your skin

and we were not scared
by the universe
and we didn't care for distance
but distance is all we got
now

tell me the story
of the silver sea
the one where the waves
were lapping on the shore
sing me the songs
of your history
and all that came before

cause we are strangers
in an alien wilderness
wondering will we
ever see
all that happ-in-ess
is

underneath that burning sun
some times
we float free
you and me
bound in between
the rhythms and the rhymes

and it's
summertime

summertime
...again

summertime ('the pastor's drive - divine wind' version)

All journeys start with a decision, from then any step will get you closer to your destination...or not!

OUTBREAK

Give Love

Here is a new track I wrote and recorded.

The song was written as part of a concept album that I started a year or so ago. I may never actually record the full album but might release the songs over time. The album was going to be about my ancestors living in Newfoundland and the stories i heard over the years.

This one is about the story of how Braggs Island (where my grandfather was born) got its name. I heard the story from my late cousin Sam Feltham. He said there was a small community living on the Island and one tough winter they ran out of supplies and were in a bad way. A man named Bragg and his two sons loaded a boat with supplies and attempted to bring relief to them. In the process and storm developed and the ship sank and Bragg and his sons were drowned. They named the Island after them in honor of the selfless sacrifice they made.

I tried to capture with sound the feeling of sailing on icy seas. Also I wanted to tell the story in an artistic way. Not sure if the song is any good but hope some of you enjoy it.

Builders of the temple. (the return of the mayan spacegods)

A dystopian world should have dystopic holidays.
Lyrics;
Spent a whole day in the sunshine
Exercising for my heart
Got some dry wood for a fire
In a stolen shopping cart

I've no more need for money
It blew away where hot winds blow
I've got goggles for my eyes
and a mask for mouth and nose

Today I breathe fresh air
Reading Dante and some psalms
And sleep here if I can
If I can get my nerves to calm

Began to think they'd never stop
But I dreamed this day would come
My dystopic holiday
Are any day without the bombs

Got some water in containers
That I keep underground
And supplies from some old prepper
But I dont think he's still around

I keep an eye out for the strangers
Survivors are a threat
I'm always locked and loaded
But I ain't shot no one ... yet

Everybody scattered
From the city to the farms
When they up and dropped the thunder
It was panic and alarm

Since then I've hunkered down
To avoid a quick demise
Day and night the earth just rocks
Doom fills up the skies

Not so long ago
A dinner and a show
Some wine to lose
Some inhibitions

I was watching my tv
When they dropped an EMP

Blown out windows boarded up
I've reinforced my doors
Trying to convince myself
I might survive this war

But today I breathe fresh air
Reading Dante and some psalms
And sleep here if I can
If I can get my nerves to calm

Birds are chirping sweetly
Bees build a honeycomb
It's peaceful here and now
On a day without the bombs

Dystopian Holiday

Hiraeth discovered her power one day while staring up at the sky, lost in thought. As she concentrated, she noticed a small, white cloud slowly drifting across the blue expanse. She found that she was able to move the cloud slowly across the sky, just by her thinking about it. Excited by her discovery, she tried again and again, each time with more focus, until the clouds were dancing to the rhythm of her mind.

Thank You for listening.  I appreciate.

Believe it or not:
DRAWBRIDGE was created at my home studio and referenced a hugely popular pop song called Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo. The song sounds nothing like Driver's License but drew inspiration from this song's sound textures and arrangement. DRAWBRIDGE was crafted to deliver an emotional tension and buildup in a similar fashion.

V1
The universe gives up her memory
As time goes back to sleep
The Vast so relatively small before
The still begins to dream
Gravity reach out and compose               
A new cosmos, a new symphony
 
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received
 
V2
Without my thoughts this pen still writes
I will travel to the end 
Where time is running out, 
without traces , without breath
We dance between the atoms 
With the Shamans and Ignorance.    

We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received

ch

somehow I knew, I knew, but I could not cross that Bayou
This castle is magic please lower down that Drawbridge 
Space slept with time so fine just before the Big Bang
Then gravity and light beams exploded on the main screen

Star dust, black holes, white dwarf super nova
Then planets, imagine they somehow even managed to make us
Trees, this breeze, this miracle of life seething
Madly, so madly love lowered down that Drawbridge

outro
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything                    
And this new beginning is an old song received  received
From before the next heart beat begins

05 - Universe25 - Never Enough

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
