This song is brought to you by the Texas Department of Bad Assery and Tourism, Keller Texas 76248...With contributions from none of your business. We nuts down here.

This song is more about wordplay than anything else. Adding "play" to the end of words makes that word 800% better. Sword is ok, but Swordplay (chef's kiss). 

The protagonist in this song has severe issues,

Texas Courtin' Blues

Palmyra (Original Mix)

Originally written in 2006, at which time it had a very different title - "China."   Was heading there then, to live for about a year, and the song was all about going somewhere else, but as I'm not heading there now I've adjusted it, and made it more relevant to me, as of 2023 at least, which may also make it a little more relatable to other people.

I remember playing this to a friend in China, in 2006, who, when I got to a certain part of the song, burst out laughing, saying he's never heard anything so  dreadfully "cliche."  It was the second verse, for some reason, the mention of traffic maybe, and despite that I've left it as it was just there, pretty much, mainly because I enjoy that memory being triggered once in a while.  Tweaked it a little, but not a whole lot, cliche or not!

It was a big old bustling piano track way back then, as far as the accompaniment was concerned, and a bit too busy in that regard, and not much of an easy listen.  I think it's better like this, though admittedly it's no less busy, just busy in a different way.   No part of the original arrangement is present here, something I normally like to do for my older songs, all parts for this one put together in 2023. 

I like this arrangement a lot more, some 17 years later.   My sense of time flying really ramps up when I return to these older songs of mine, to refresh them! 

As for the art work, shouldn't call it that, 'ai prompt generated picture smash up,' I found what it came up with amusing.  Was hoping for something a little nicer, but liked it enough! 

Unfortunately, the original upload of this track was a little to be desired mix, since adjusted, but now I'm hearing other things I want to change! 🙄

Lyrics

I don’t make a habbit of jumpin' into the unknown
To save my own skin but I already know
It’s no real living, just drifting in space
There’s no real comfort while knocking around on my own
Biting off the great unknown
I’m trapped inside a habbit, and I seldom seem to escape.

Been like this most of my life
Whatever the fight
I seem to move in reverse
But something else here must work

I’ve gotta leave my world behind
So I can see the light
Into a world I can’t describe
I guess I'll follow blind
A choice I can’t completely trust
though gotta break free from this rut
Loose hold everything I've loved
And see the light so I can find her

It’s fair to say I’m hunting for a love of a different kind
Something that won’t ease my mind
Can’t stay settled in this traffic that’s been blocking my way
I won’t be wrapped up in cotton wool and that I know
Won’t be immune to whatever gets thrown
With a beeline for my head, there’s no way to be safe

In search of some other side
A little dust-up with life
To try and cut through this blur
In search of worlds to traverse

I’ve gotta leave my world behind
So I can see the light
Into a world I can’t describe
I guess I'll follow blind
A choice I can’t completely trust
though gotta break free from this rut
Loose hold everything I've loved
And see the light so I can find her

It gives me some other light
And so much more here to find
Can see I'm less in reverse
Now I'm looking to her

I’ve gotta leave my world behind
So I can see the light
Into a world I can’t describe
So I'll just follow blind
A choice I can’t completely trust
though gotta break free from this rut
Loose hold everything I love
And see the light so I can find her

See the Light

See The Light (2006)

Its a minute to eleven and my bags are all packed
4 years of war and I've lived through it all
I heard they signed a deal so nobody will kill 
I never ever thought it would end top this way

I've been sleeping in the mud for so long I'm going mad
fire shot and shell I've faced it all I can recall
every friend I had has gone and bought it in the mud
they gave me a medal just for staying alive 

what will I do when I go I've been dreaming of home for so long
will I get back to Blighty  I have to start over again

you should have seen the truce on the day the angel sang
2 sides came together and exchanged all pleasantries 
the sound of silent night the sight of souvenirs and gifts
once the game was over out came the guns

can't believe I've nearly made it through
next month ill join the working queue
will she still be there when I get back
how long will it take for me to crack

time is nearly up and so I throw my rifle down
I take a minute to reflect on the horrors I have faced
on the road to mons im just walking by a house
shot through the heart and im spoken to no more

A minute to Eleven

escape

Rainy afternoon
