LYRICS:


Verse 1:

So, I've gone insane
but my love leaves me no question
All you tried to fix
Still there's no accepting this misdirection
Go on and die for,
but I'm sure I'll find what I love, and let it kill me
Oh, what a life we'd like to lead

Chorus:
Please don't let this grave be my home
There's no joy in pain anymore

Verse 2:
Fine, play the absentee
I begged for you, and all for me
But avid hearts don't fade away
So I'll be persistent, these legs won't quit it
You'd like to walk these dead endings befriending the things that will surely end you
Oh, what good company you keep

(Chorus)

We split the vocals duties on this one, with Current Device doing the verses and me doing the chorus (yes we do sound similar). It started out as a dark synthpop but quickly changed to a more upbeat jam session. Thanks for listening!

Do you love your freedom
Or do you want control
Do you love your life today
Or is it getting old?
We'll lay out all your secrets
Just tell them all to me
Your love and lust, your fear and trust
Your sexuality

I know sometimes it's hard to see the plan
When you could take it all into your hands

If you're feeling lonely, if you're feeling blue
You're on the shelf, left by yourself
And no one's serving you
You want a simple answer
You want the simple plan
Quit looking down, it's all around
It's right in front of you

The Plan ~ Lunesis & Current Device

Happy New Years!
New Years day is my daughter's birthday as well :) this is for you Nali.

Lyrics and Music: Current Device
Vocals: Current Device & Lunesis

Leaning on the doorway of a velvet night
He's hummin' the songs that you're singin'
About all your loves, how they all turned out wrong
So now you're back at your beginning

And you try hard to remember
And he tries hard to forget
Another shot is the most that he's got
Another round for his dark companion

And miles, and miles away
The things you want to say

He knows it's a just a feeling but that's all he's got
No lesson at the end of his story
And you are just a mirror to his broken heart
It's nothing that's the least of your worries

And you try hard to remember
And he tries hard to forget
Another shot, that the most that he's got
Another round for your dark companion

And miles, and miles away
The things you want to say
They seem to just fade away
As night turns into day

If I should say
i am deprived
without your smile

would you give me
the secret to your curve

if I should say
Im sorry
would you come
home to me

no faces empty stands alone
why wicks of candles
reflects off stone

if i should say
a poem beats
in my heart
for you
would you buy it?

It's my words of voice
do you listen of my choice

if I should say:
if I should say
what would you do?

solo

If I should say
I cannot see
would you be my eyes for me

I'd guide you with a light brigade
while a 1000 stars cast faces away

If I should say
I love you
woud you keep my soul warm

the whispers of my voice
is a place I like to come to
by choice

if I should say
I'm sorry

would you come
on home

Lisa Gill

Lyrics
Keep me up all night if you want to
You can read my mind if you want to
Have me lost in your eyes if you need to 
Oh...
You can read my thoughts if you want to

And you can have me
All to yourself
And you can have me
For as long as you want

You can read my mind if you want to...

ALL TO YOURSELF (Current Device and Annie Smart)

From the Album: 
All feel and no technique (2019)

I like to take a nap in the summertime
I love the smell of magnolia and lime
I love to take a nap, take a break
Because I love a woman who likes to stay up late!
Oh, it's a good day to feel

I like to take a nap in the summertime
Nap away the heat
Drinking the wine
I like to take a nap, take a break
I love a woman and she likes to keep me up late
Oh, it's a good day to feel
A good day to feel 
Feel you in my world

When I look into to her eyes
I see the 7 deadly sins
And all the mysteries contained within
Oh, it's a good day to feel (3X)
Thank you
(Audience indifference)

It's A Good Day To Feel

We Turned into Autumn Leaves

Background

This is my take on an old traditional song. The earliest reference I've discovered is around 1847.  It supposedly had other titles 'The Grinders' and 'The Saddle on the Right Horse'  

It is a vivid description of the lot of Sheffield Grinders, working and often dying early in life due to their trade. The 'Grinding Hull's' mentioned in the lyrics were grim places, full of particles of metal and dust from the grinding wheels. Historical evidence suggests boys were often apprenticed from nine to twelve years of age.

Through my working career I was employed in the Steel Industry engaged in scientistic work and environmental research, quite a bit of it related to occupational health problems, So it is no surprise to me and very fitting that I wanted to get this song recorded. As a Sheffield lad born and bred it connects for me I guess. 

Apparently a version of this traditional song was recorded by 'The Ian Campbell Group' in 1972 and the band 'Afterhours' from their eponymous cassette only album from 1988. After hearing the 'Afterhours' 1988 version, I decided to work up a DADGAD guitar arrangement of my own.  Here is the result.
---------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation and Arrangement

I wanted a simple arrangement for this song as really it's all about the lyrics and overall message. I used a DADGAD guitar tuning and aimed for a strum pattern that hopefully reflects the cyclical rhythmic quality of the grindstones in use.

After the main vocals was recorded I decided a bit of backing vocals would add a bit of extra spice to the overall song. Sometimes voice and guitar is all you really need. :-)

The Sheffield Grinder (Lyrics around 1847)
**( with small revisions for this version)
(Photograph taken from the Illustrated London News 1866)

The Sheffield grinder's a terrible blade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
'Fore he sets his little 'uns down to trade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
He sets ‘em all down to grind in the hull,
Till their bodies are stunted and their eyes are dull,
And their brains are all dizzy and dazed in their skulls.
Tally ho, the grinder!

He shortens his life and he hastens his death.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he’ll drink steel dust with every breath.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he won't wash his hands ‘ere he eats a meal
And he won’t wear a mask as he grinds at his wheel
And he’ll die as he’s lived, as hard as cold steel.
Tally ho, the grinder!

(Instrumental)

The Sheffield grinders of whom we do speak.
Tally ho, the grinder!
Well they’re men who’ll earn just one pound a week.
Tally ho, the grinder!
But of Sheffield grinders another sort
Methinks ought to be called to court,
Aye, and that’s the grinding Government Board.
Tally ho, the grinder!

At whose door lies the blacker blame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Oh where lies the heavier weight of shame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Is it the famine-price contractor's head,
Or on the workman who’s under-fed,
And who grinds his own bones and his children’s for bread?
Tally ho, the grinder!

The Sheffield Grinder

Gary decided it was time to get the ‘It’s us, the neighbours’ band back together again for another crazy, wacky outing.
He sent Nick and myself his latest ditty and asked if we would like to contribute, obviously we both agreed.
Nick and I worked alone at first and then traded ideas for the outro section. Nick added his wild voice box solo and unmistakable fretboard scorching runs then finished off the piece with a melodic E-Bow outro, I did my bit, then we sent our contributions to Gary who pulled it all together with a stellar production.
It’s been great fun and a real pleasure to collaborate with the guys again, thanks to Gary for asking me to contribute.

Here is Similitude.

See you same time tomorrow
Goodbye Kelly goodbye Sister J
Oh yes you hide your sorrow well but
No need to tell these kids that god does not appear to care

Oh if he's even there
 
Walked down to old St Martin it's
Dusk already there's cold December rain
In the Piccadilly lights
This place has seen the lost and found for
Seven hundred years
And so they come and pray
Or just to stay out of the rain
 
Oh were there words enough and time I would
Explain the world away and
If life's just a story (maybe) we can change the ending if we try
And though the past's been priced and sold
Tomorrows yet untold
 
Strayed into being happy
Fields of barley framed our stupid bliss
But it was all reflected lights
I never learned how to be kind until I lost someone I loved
But I'm not here to pray
Just trying to stay out of the rain
 
[Repeat chorus]
 
And the words become a song
And the child becomes a man

Auges Apfel (feat. Art_by_the-Queen)

lyrics/nightmareRap/sounds/arrangement: electroHippie

Schlaf ein mein Kind
schlaf schnell ein
morgen ist ein neuer Tag

Schlaf ein mein Kind
schlaf schnell ein 
das Licht vertreibt die Dunkelheit

Nächtens wenn der Schlaf dich sucht
schleicht durch die Tür der Müdigkeit
mit dunklen Träumen voller Alb
die Ausgeburt der eignen Seele
und quält mit Bilderfetzen schrecklich
was zur Labsal dir gedacht

Kehrt das Innerste nach außen
was tief in dir verschlossen war
das kalt wie Eis dein Herz einfriert
dein stummer Schrei bleibt ungehört

Weiter dreht das Rad der Zeit
und dunkel dich die Nacht umgibt
und Wille soll die Augen öffnen
doch Wachheit ist so fern wie nie

Des Schlafes Herrscher schärft die Sinne 
alles Fühlen stärkt die Furcht
Das Salz des Schweißes brennt wie Feuer
und tiefer sinkst du ohne Halt

Ein schriller Ton dringt an dein Ohr
Der Lider zucken löst die Starre
des Auges Apfel blickt ins Licht
und alles ist wie´s war zuvor

Go to sleep my child
fall asleep quickly
Tomorrow is a new day

Go to sleep my child
fall asleep quickly
the light drives the darkness away

At night when sleep is looking for you
creeps through the door of tiredness
with dark dreams full of nightmare
the spawn of one's own soul
and torments terribly with scraps of pictures
what refreshment you thought

Turn the inside out
what was locked deep inside you
That freezes your heart as cold as ice
your silent scream goes unheard

The wheel of time continues to turn
And dark the night surrounds you
and will should open the eyes
but wakefulness is as far away as ever

The ruler of sleep sharpens the senses
all feeling strengthens fear
The salt of sweat burns like fire
and deeper you sink without stopping

A shrill sound reaches your ear
The eyelid twitch releases the rigidity
the apple of the eye looks into the light
and everything is as it was before
