Things I wish I'd never done
Things I wish I'd never said
Things I never really meant to happen

A nursery rhyme to sum up the situation :)
(traduit plus bas)
------
Once upon a time
Was a little thing. He thought he was divine

He was not really shy,
And wanted to rule the world, but what for ? why ?

Most of all he loved
building and spreading out, always standing above

Even though it would mean,
To uproot thousands of trees. Not really keen to be green

And then one day,
Another little thing
Appeared like that on his way, "hey !"

Fragile. No beard,
She began to speak with her words, and that was so weird

"What have you done with the birds ?"
"But what have you done with the birds ?" 

Hear it ! feel it, leave !
I don't want to live your life
Hear it ! feel it, leave !
Leave the World you're a killing knife

Since she was not so nice
He locked her in a tower so that she could think twice

But then many like him
Also joined to reach the top. They all wanted to be seen

There can be one king
So they fought until they suddenly heard a sing

It was the youngest 
Who were left  downhill from the start. All united singing just

Hear it ! feel it, leave !
We don't  want to live your life
Hear it ! feel it, leave !
Leave the World you're a killing knife

Wake up
I feel it coming
Don't you realise ?
Don't you realise ?

I'm so scared when tomorrow comes, dad
By the pains, these crashing floods

Hear it ! feel it, leave !
We don't want to live your life
Hear it ! feel it, leave !
Leave the world you're a killing knife
Hear it ! feel it, leave !
We don't want to hear more lies
Hear it ! feel it, leave !
Don't let innocence dies
----
Il était une fois
Une petite chose qui pensait être divine
Il n'était pas vraiment timide,
et voulait diriger le monde, mais pour quoi faire ? Pourquoi ?
Par-dessus tout, il aimait construire et s'étendre, toujours se tenir au-dessus

Même si cela signifiait de déraciner des milliers d'arbres. 
Il n'avait pas vraiment envie d'être vert.

Et puis un jour, une autre petite chose
Est apparue comme ça sur son chemin, "hey !"

Fragile. Pas de barbe,
Elle s'est mise à parler avec ses mots, et c'était si bizarre

"Qu'as tu fait des oiseaux ?"
"Mais qu'as-tu fait des oiseaux !?" 

Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Je ne veux pas vivre ta vie
Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Lâches le monde, tu es un couteau meurtrier

Comme elle n'était pas très gentille
Il l'enferma dans une tour pour qu'elle y réfléchisse à deux fois

Mais alors beaucoup comme lui
Se sont joints pour atteindre le sommet. Ils voulaient tous être vus.

Il ne peut y avoir qu'un seul roi
Ils se sont donc battus jusqu'à ce qu'ils entendent soudain un chant.

C'était les plus jeunes qui avaient été laissés en bas de l'échelle dès le début.
Tous unis qui chantaient juste : 

Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Nous ne voulons pas vivre ta vie
Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Lâches le monde, tu es un couteau meurtrier

Réveilles toi
Je le sens venir
Tu ne te rends pas compte ?
Tu ne te rends pas compte ?

Je suis tellement effrayé par demain papa.
Par les peines, ces déluges qui nous écrasent


Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Nous ne voulons pas vivre ta vie
Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Lâches le monde, tu es un couteau meurtrier
Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Nous ne voulons plus entendre de mensonges
Entends ! Sens-le, pars !
Ne laissez pas l'innocence mourir

Leave !

LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

We March On

Take It.              (c2023)

Gunshot blues is the first track I have written and recorded. I recorded the track at HQ Studios in Manchester. I first started writing the song about 7 years ago but then moved onto writing the next song and then the next song and so on. I finally got around to finishing this one last year and taking it to the studio to record. I play the guitars, bass and there is an organ somewhere in the background. I then attempt to sing as well. Drums are a mix of samples put together by the producer. There is some other percussion in there such as tambourine and I don’t know if there is a technical name for it but “shaky egg”? My Dad did those as he came with me to the recording studio when i did this track and I wanted him to be a part of it. See what you think…..

Again, the team of No Killie Fish and Doug Michael Roossien.
I can't thank Johnny enough for laying down a perfect track. His patience and love for what he does. You are the best!!

Only just a picture like some long-forgotten dream
Somehow… still a memory …” of something…used to be”
Daddy saved this moment …
me there on your lap …just a lad
Only just a picture … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

Mom, you had so much ahead, and I had all of mine
Didn’t know, back then how much… you’d mean, in my life
That picture’s worn and torn …from all the times
I tried in vain… to return
Only just a picture … but sometimes, I’m right there… with her

They say you can’t go back…then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Daddy took that picture …like some long-forgotten song
They say you can’t go home again…
maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but somehow …sometimes I go back

We all have stacks of memories…family, friends, and such
Life’s mysteries, broken dreams, first times we made love
Only pictures, …only just a picture

First time that I saw that girl, took a picture in my mind
Promised her I’d write a song, the moment I had time
Her hair a flowing rhyme, …
her eyes they captured mine, and all of that
It’s only just a memory … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

They say you can’t go back… most times that seems right
Raining now in Frisco… Sierra … drowns in dry
But, I still ‘member Jackson Hole, you on your downhill run
Me, just waitin’ by the fire,
Writin’ one more song… about my love
They say you can’t go back… but those words, …remember you so much

They say you can’t go back …then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Only, just a picture …only just a song
They say you can’t go back again …maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but sometimes …
sometimes I go back / sometimes I go back
So… glad they’re saved ...remembering …Today
my “polaroid slideshows”
our “kodak memories” ….pictures

ONLY JUST A PICTURE by DOUG ROOSSIEN mastering and backing NO KILLIE FISH

So disappointed
I wanted so much more
So disjointed
As I sink down to the floor
I’m reeling, I thought you were the one
But I see now, what's over hadn't ever begun

Such confusion
You said you'd be there till the end
But you used me and now you want to be my friend
I’m reeling - I don’t understand you
But I see now, you’re not the person
I thought I knew

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Just an illusion
So strong that I believed
Feeling bruised now
Maligned and deceived
I'm reeling, I thought you’d set me free
But I see now, you made a promise you could never keep

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Time to realise
I’ve been telling myself lies
I still want you
But moving on’s the only thing to do

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Heat Burst (feat. Robert Grigg)

KRAE- 'CRUSIN'         _INSTRUMENTAL_

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!  Johan gives Karen more edge, Karen keeps Johan’s Rock God under control...

It shouldn’t work, but it does...
