Known But Unspoken
by Anton Etch 2022

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                   
they're known but unspoken                                                  
by those who are broken
and further along down the road

No need to follow the news    
there's no truth in any of it all...
When a new book is written
and everyone's smitten
best go read somethin' old

You can plug up your ears with these words                              
as the spring turns to fall
the past reaches over
and points to the future
the present isn't here at all

---  

When the centre can't hold 
and the honest are forced to  fold 
when fools are rewarded
 and the wise ignored
carrying on seems absurd  

It's harder to hear this aloud
from someone you know, who is close
It's easier said
by those who are dead
than someone alive in your world

Was she right when she said...
"Some things you don't wanna know..." ?                       
they're known but unspoken                                                   
by those who are broken
and further along down the road

Now if you don’t know me, 

My name is Rayna and I host a radio show on VOWR.ca (VOWR 800AM if you’re on the Island) It is a wonderful all volunteer Radio Station celebrating 100 YEARS on the air in 2024  We are located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.  

I started a new show called the “The Unsigned Radio Hour” where I give artists from SoundCloud and other venues a chance to have their songs heard on the radio. 

I love listening to, writing or playing music.  I understand what a wonderful feeling it is to share that love and passion with others.

I want let YOU SHINE!!

Sadly I’m not going to make you any money. However you will have the joy of telling all your friends “I’m going to be on the radio tonight.” 🤣

Message me if you would like to share your music.  Send me a song or two in MP3 and a little bio to share with my listeners. I will let you know when your song will be played on the air.

Soli Ko is a duo of artists who blend their music with poetic lyrics. Their texts tell stories or feature characters in an introspective manner, exploring inner struggles and the duality of emotions.
Their music combines folk elements with a strong acoustic presence. Their compositions are characterized by minimalist arrangements, where the acoustic guitar is accompanied by a highly expressive voice. Their musical style, both intimate and melodic, highlights sounds that reflect a simple yet profound exploration of emotions.

Soli Ko est un duo d'artistes qui marient leur musique à des paroles poétiques. Leurs textes racontent des histoires ou des personnages de manière introspéctive, explorant les combats intérieurs et la dualité des émotions. 
Leur musique allie des éléments folk avec une forte présence acoustique. Leurs compositions sont caractérisées par des arrangements épurés, où à la guitare acoustique se mêle une voix hautement expressive. Leur style musical, à la fois intime et mélodique, met en valeur des sonorités qui reflètent une exploration des émotions avec simplicité.

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.
