Lyrics:

Ascending in unison.
Suspended from above.
A wrinkle in time. 
It’s the final design. 
They synchronize the love.  
Are we still human?
Zeros and ones.      


I see it all the time, no I don’t want to think about it.
Hear it all the time, there’s no need to laugh about it.
Life in the hive, on the ion rise, it’s a frivolous ride.     
See the sun shine visions to me.
Eye in mind, from the soul divine. 
Where we all reside. 
Up in the great divide. 
Diminished light. 
Where we’re hypnotized. 
So to the dark we’re tantalized.

Isle of Joy

Consideration about donut holes

This track is inspired by an old piece from 1982, which we played in my third Band. At that time we were enthusiastic and wanted to make music as a living. But we all ended up somewhere else, only our singer made it, as he joined Pink Cream 69 and later Helloween, where they are playing the big festivals till today :-)
I myself had stopped playing at all, focused on my profession and touched only the acoustic guitar from time to time. My Marshall JCM 800 and my Fender were becoming more and more living room Accessoires and were nicely looking hanging untouched at the wall. In 2015 my son woke up music in me again, when he came to me playing a song he had created with GarageBand on an iPad. Then the guitar flame started to burn again and finally the result you can listen here. I hope you enjoy it.

Fehlalarm Suite Part 1

Fehlalarm Suite Part1

LYRICS BELOW
Here's another preview of the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album--something a little different--a rock song with a tuba solo! When I was recording this song with my Starfire XII electric 12 string, I just felt it was crying out for a tuba solo (which would be about the biggest possible contrast for the chime of a 12 string). Luckily, Ben Jaeger--the amazing guitarist for the Madison, Wisconsin, band Sunspot--is also a tuba virtuoso, and he agreed to take this on.
"L&C Eternally" is about Lonnie and Chloe, who grow up on adjacent farms in southern Wisconsin. (In fact, the whole new album is about them.)
The main guitar I play on this is my 1966 Guild Starfire XII, my choice for the best electric 12 ever built. With some fast-picking and palm-muting, it can make some unique sounds! The Starfire is helped by my Gretsch 2420 and my '78 Guild S-60.
(And, yes, that is me doing the really high backing vocals!)

“L & C Eternally”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

She wakes on a Sunday and she don’t know
if she wants to be a person dreaming.
She don’t want it and she don’t go
down to where all the folks are meeting.

She goes down to Lonnie’s farm,
wakes him with a soft punch on his arm
She smiles at him—is she in love?

He puts on the coffee and rubs his eyes,
tells her she’s a pain while he cooks the bacon.
She says cut the crap while she serves the eggs—
says they could be already out there fishing.

	He smothers her toast with strawberry jam,
	feeds her a morsel quick as he can.
	He smiles at her—is he in love?

They don’t take it all the way.
They don’t think about it anyway.
When they’re walking in the woods,
they know they’re living like they should.

Lonnie and Chloe are sitting in a tree—
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
That’s the jump-rope song they sang
playing in the schoolyard before the bell rang.
	“L & C Eternally”—
	that’s what Lonnie carved upon a tree,
	and Chloe said, “Now we’re in Love!”

L & C Eternally (with Ben Jaeger, Tuba)[early demo mix]

everybody thought they had it in the bag
thought they had a chicken but they just had a chegg
everyone was standing 'round lookin' real smart
chooky looked right at them 'n said just have a heart

wasn't in the bag at all

everybody thought they had it in the bag
thought they had a chicken but they just had a chegg
tried to catch that chicky but she ran in circles
faster than a speeding locomotive, i'm told

everybody thought they was gonna get an easy meal
but chicken and his friends they let him have it all
by the time they were done there was nothing but a pile of meat and bones
or so they say

What's Wrong? (2 Rightly/Aine Parkes)

What a joy it is to live in this modern world where one can reach part way around the globe to collaborate with a fellow musician whose work you admire. I've admired Dag Olav Hermundstad's music from the first time I listened. His music often calls one of my favorite albums to mind "Nilsson Sings Newman". The same sharp songwriting and wit combined with an unfailing pop sense. Although in Dag's case he contributes both. I'm sure most of you are well aware of Dag's music but let me recommend this personal favorite https://soundcloud.com/dag-olav-hermundstad/15-minutes-would-also-do

I Will Follow You (featuring Dag Olav Hermundstad)

Poker Face

Seeing as light is fading from the centre of your eyes
And the blog that I been posting 
Don’t change your face design
I find I got no knowledge of the ways inside your mind
Any feelings you have gathered are hidden by disguise

How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will I be nowhere 
I’ve never seen or felt some kind of sign
But I’m wishin’ for that magic kind of ride
How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will you be elsewhere
I’m seeing but I may as well be blind
Your poker face is killing me inside

I’m so ever hopeful I got sensors in my teeth
If you favour me with meeting eyes I’m flushing red as beet
And dissecting every phrase of yours and liberating nothing
I got to get to you or else I’ll shrink away to stuffing

POKER FACE

WORKIN OVERTIME
sittin’ on a barrel that was hard to find
and i’d been working overtime

sitting on a barrel - i see people holding hands…

hard to find… it was hard to find
- holding holding holding
it was hard to…

oh, hard to find - i miss you

all i want - working - i miss you so
i miss you so

sittin on a barrel that was hard to find
and i’d been working overtime
working working working

tapping tip tap your wheels and barrels
i miss you
working
i miss you
tip tapping your wheels
tip tap tip tapping on your wheels and barrels
on your wheels and barrels


tip tapping tip tapping
hey! hey!
tap in! tap in! i miss you i miss you i miss you

Thank you all who take the time to listen to my music, I really appreciate every comment, like and reposts 💜 I've discovered so much amazing music on soundcloud and so many talented and lovely people too. 
I've been writing songs on and off for over 20 years, I write mostly about life experiences and anything that I'm passionate about or situations that I've been in but sometimes imaginary too.. Music means so much to me and I'm really enjoying recording more in this strange lockdown year...
I like how Rumi says it.... 
'You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the whole ocean in one drop'
