Objects in the distant sun 
Blinding feared by everyone
Try and make your way back to your home again
No one here thinks they’re safe
They know the risks that they all take
But that does not matter to anyone
In between the moon and you
I look beyond the beauty view
And know that I won’t ever see it again 
Someone told me too wake up
I’m lost I fear that I’ll stay stuck
Here in this field for eternity

But I don’t want to comedown 
There’s too much panic in this town

Something’s taken hold of me
I’ve lost all sensibility
I know it’s not wright but it’s how it will be
Spent to long In this place 
Living with my mind in space
Now I have lost all sense of reality
There is a world that turns outside
I can’t runaway and hide
I know this is true and I’ll find my way back
Someone told me to wake up
I hear that voice and know that look
Everyone’s starring and wants me to be

But I don’t want to comedown 
There’s too much panic in this town

Comedown

Westcoast

In a book and several widely read newspaper articles, the English journalist David Goodhart has identified a new cause for the vicious populism of our time. Le Pen, Brexit, Trump, the online hate culture - according to Goodhart, two new "meta-classes" (the "Anywheres" and the "Somewheres") have emerged in the global world, two completely different ways of living and feeling. According to Goodhart, these separate cultures are now competing against each other in a kind of new world culture war.

The picture shows: an altered extract from a photo somewhere out of the net

Somewhere, 3:33 am


Anyone awake again…? 
Now, 3:33 am…?

I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

And I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

You were somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere, no

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

I was just looking… 
And I was gazing
I was just freezing
While I was listening
And I was just looking
(For an answer
Of any kind)

You sang somewhere, out there
You were no anywhere, no
You were a somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
(To find)

Somewhere, 3:33 am

If I saw you again/I wouldn't know where to hide/I did everything to forget/I loved you so much/I hated you so much///the years taught me/to record your charms/but not to free myself from such unhealthy memories/you are capable of coming back to me /everything experienced and destructive/you are capable of returning to me /what I was avoiding so much/my great love and my perdition/my great love and my obsession/my great love and nightmare/my great love and my evil/ /////I loved you all /I loved you/and I waited for you to change/I had love and your hate/I became your mirror/tear you from my skin/it left me scars/tear you from my soul/it left years of darkness// // guitar////go back in time to the time when you were everything/cruel and burlesque poetry/even my soul burned///you are capable of returning to me/everything experienced and destructive/you are capable of returning to me/ what I was avoiding so much/my great love and my perdition/my great love and my obsession/my great love and nightmare/my great love and my evil/

Lyrics:

Can you feel the rain falling down
Can you see the moon spinning round
Can you feel the earth beneath your feet
Can you feel the sun’s penetrating heat

Chorus

That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe and warm
That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe from harm

Bridge

Everyone will tell you exactly how love feels
But no one can tell you if this love, love is real

Music break - Solo

Can you feel the breeze blowing through your hair
When I touch your skin are you  more aware
Can you free your mind without a care
Can you feel the love when we are near

Chorus x 2

Can you feel the rain
Can you fall in love

Can You Feel The Love (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration with Video)

If it looks like rain
Sing this song with me
Together we’ll be
Till the end of this dream
Till the end of this dream

If it looks like rain
Sing this song out loud
Hold your head up proud
Till the sunshine comes round
Till the sunshine comes round

If it looks like rain
If it looks like rai-a-a-ain
If it looks like rai-a-a-a-a-a-ain

If it looks like rain
Sing this song to the stars
Reshuffle your cards
Till you bend those steel bars
Till you bend those steel bars

If it looks like rain
Sing this song to the night
Go and dance in the light
Till your world feels all right
Till your world feels all right

If it looks like rain
If it looks like rai-a-a-ain
If it looks like rai-a-a-a-a-a-ain

If it looks like rain
Sing this song without fear
Wipe up all those tears
Till the skies are all clear
Till the skies are all clear

If it looks like rain
Sing this song with me
Together we’ll be
Till the end of this dream
Till the end of this dream 

If it looks like rai-a-a-a-ain

Life Of This Man

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
