the dawn is ours

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. 
If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

Words and Music by Adam Majdecki-Janicki.

I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see the memories that you took
I can see your face everywhere I look

Take this bitter cup away from me
Drinking from it ain’t my destiny
Take your promises and empty words
Walk away and close that final door

Coming down on Monday afternoon
Sleeping with the scarred and bitter moon
You ain’t been my lover very long
I came back to write that final song

Treat my memories as if they’re your own
Treat my heart as if it’s made of stone
You have brought me pain and misery
Put me down for all the world to see

Trains will put me far away from you
Far away from all the things you do
Breaking hearts of other fools like me
Trains will break your heart finally

Can’t you feel how lonely stations are
Can’t you hear the whistle from afar
Means you’re never seeing me again
Means I’m not returning to your games

I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see your face everywhere I look
I can see the memories that you took
I can see your face everywhere I look

"I Can See Your Face Everywhere I Look"

Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of love, here's an oldie but goldie I wrote this back in 1998, can you believe it, It's another song about my dream girl that I wouldn't meet for many year afterwards. I was divorced for about 2 years and pretty much feeling abandoned and lonely. I remember wanting to write a song in the same vein as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles. A very acoustic number with an accordion playing in the background, you know, very romantic like something you might hear in a Paris cafe! This was one of the first songs I did with Charlie, it wasn't recorded too well since I had an old Tascam 8-track analog recorder and it's distorted quite a bit but I think the melody and lyrics still hold up. (Mastering didn't help this song at all, sorry!) I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments. I've always liked the first line about wrapping myself inside her smile. I produced the video a few months ago for this Valentine's Day. I enjoyed putting it together and added like 10 quick snap shots of beautiful women taking selfies at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Ciao! 😎✌🏼

“HOW I LOVE HER”

IT’S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE WEARS A SMILE,   
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE IT,   
NO MATTER HOW HARD I MIGHT TRY TO HIDE IT,   
HOW I LOVE HER,             
     
SIMPLY A SUBTLE SHIFT OF HER BEAUTIFUL EYES, 
MELTS AWAY ALL THE BITTERNESS WITHIN ME,   
AND EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHES ME, SHE WINS ME,  
HOW I LOVE HER,

I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,       
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,       
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,   
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,          
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,   
HOW I LOVE HER,      
          
I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,        
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,         
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,    
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,           
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,  
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER.

"HOW I LOVE HER" (Video - https://youtu.be/QQzTN6uuehM)

Another acoustic song taken on by Mighty Mike Fox for This Sound Society project.
Can’t thank him enough for his efforts,  skills & enthusiasm for the ideas. A double busy top bloke.
This song is about a personal experience a long time ago that still to this day can hurt when mentioned.
Then 20 years after the dust as settled the opportunity arises out of the blue to cut to the chase and talk truth & transparency about the situation.
Always two sides to a story and their version strangely favours the brave but they take no responsible for their actions and the feelings of others after they shit on you from a great height after you have been always helpful & decent to them. 
You may still love these people and forgive them but you never forget.
So it’s about people who are close to you wether it’s family or friends. 
We have probably all been there and feel betrayed but because of who they are you rise above to be a better person. 
They don’t change with time just turn inside out.
They will still be out for number one and would sell their Granny for personal gain .
To be deceitful, lie and play you like a fiddle leaving you in the dark.
This Sound Society gives you the second track of 2025.
20 years……..

V1
Time as a habit of bringing things to the surface
So if you want to get into this then it better be worth  it 
My versions different and your gonna deserve it 
20 years as passed since that day  in earnest 



There’s  a time to talk this through 
Now’s the time time for me & you
To talk……..  transparency & truth x2

V2
There’s always an excuse for why it shouldn’t of happened 
You only have reasons that  you just imagined 
And just because it’s 20 years doesn’t make it old fashioned 
So take a seat and let’s watch it all Unfasten 

Chorus 

Lead break

Finish on double chorus

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

TITLE: IT'S NOT LOVE; IT'S SOMETHING ELSE
_______________________________________________________


LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
You call me late when the moon is on fire
Your words are sweet, but they’re laced with wire
You hold me close, but your hands let go
Is this the spark or a shadow show

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A halfway house where the heart rebels
You keep me near but not too tight
A situationship dressed up in light

(Verse 2)
You text me back but your words are thin
A hollow laugh when the truth kicks in
You want the thrill but not the fall
This isn’t a bridge it’s a paper wall

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A carousel with no stories to tell
You spin me round but don’t hold my gaze
A situationship lost in the haze

(Bridge)
Where’s the line between want and need
Between a game and a love that bleeds
Your lips say stay but your heart says go
Am I the lead or just your cameo

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A borrowed dream where the echoes dwell
You light the match, but you fear the flame
A situationship playing love’s name

Side Piece Ain't Your Slide Piece

It's Not Love; It's Something Else

Just a little impromptu-ish take on "Anything You Can Do" from Irving Berlin's 1946 musical "Annie Get Your Gun".
I was joined by mezzo-soprano Bethan Morris, and the piano track was provided by Helen Roberts.

We were making a cake, and found that we are altogether much more fond of fondant than of guns...and honestly who would sign up for a mass shooting if they could join a cake tasting instead..

We hope you'll enjoy our inanities.

Anything You Can Do (Annie get your gun - Iving Berlin - the patissier's ed)

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

Since 1998 I made and released lots of sound art, music, and noise, and wrote and published lots of poetry. You can find most of it online, in record stores, and in bookstores. On May 28 2025 I returned to my roots, and started working low profile on new folk music, like in 1998. Inspired by Syd Barrett, Robert Calvert, Chris Karrer, Peter Hammill, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Richard Hell, Daniel Johnston, Roky Erickson,  Dave Bixby, Jandek, James Douglas Morrison, jazz, modern poetry, and painting I set on a trip that knows no end. Hope you're with me.
