The first song I ever wrote (memorized) when I was about 14.

I recorded a new version on April 3, 2023.

Jimi Hendrix's The Wind Cries Mary by Mike Polcari & Nadia Selvaggi

The Meeting 140 BPM

So happy to be able to share a new track made with the brilliant @debra_buesking

This Scottish inspired Celtic track gets it name from the opening words of a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins (posted below).  For those unaware, a burn is the Scottish/Northern English word for a small river.  The title also reminds me of the look and feel of  that other Scottish liquid Whiskey!  Have a wee dram while you listen.

Inversnaid

This darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.

A windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth
Turns and twindles over the broth
Of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Darksome Burn (Philleann & Debra Buesking)

It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive.


So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I don't need your church or creed
To get me by
I don't need no alcohol or pills
To get me high

I don't need to fight with you
I don't need a gun
I'm doing what I was born to do
I'm having fun

I'm high on life

I don't need negativity
Don't drag me down
I'm the king of my own life
Don't steal my crown

Eyes wide open,high on life
That's when I thrive
It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive

So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I'm high on life

High On Life

First time to work with Tea R. Sea with just the two of us, and it turned out great.     He wrote this one and I added the guitar.  I'm very much looking forward to working together again!

with bitter wings on broader shoulders,
here lies my sense and curiosity.
here lies their lies told, shaped and bolder,
until i don't recognise the me in me in me in me.

be kind, be kind...

some words
to please June
like we pleased December

(takes courage, too much courage, to hear all sides)

your glorious eyes see more than any others'
your gracious mouth curls around every light.
whose life is this, above, beyond all others?
whose is this body, this oversight?

rewind/be kind

some words to please June
like we pleased December

Please June

A big Thank You to The Neighbor for playing this wonderful solo guitar

Everything Liquifies

in
While only one wimper
Flies all the time
First still very, very fast
Then it settles down the line

In the meantime…		(2)

1
Some billion ys must have passed
Since we had that start
Since we saw at last
That we can fall so hard
In times of peace 
We treat the insane, 
While in times of war 
They govern us again

In the meantime
Everything liquifies

ref
It is revolving in the ether
It drains in the simple brains -
No or, no either
(or what of it remains)
Just drops into the simple brains

2
A decrease of viscosity
In former bound aggression
And the social cohesions
The glacier anyway
Everything liquifies
Is carried away 
By the great maelstrom
Tell me, 
Was it the same yesterday ?

In the meantime
Everything liquifies

ref
It is revolving in the ether
It drains in the simple brains -
No or, no either
(Or what of it remains)
Just drops into the simple brains

out
Like the sweetest sweetie, ahh
Like the ultimate candiest candy 
Sweet as can be...

Everything Liquifies (ft The Neighbor)
