such a cool track... great vibes.. sounds just like Nirvana!

great moody song...and a tribute to ephemerality!

You guys have the mix locked down, percussion and vocs on top of that cool fuzz guitar driving it all around for a spin!

Mixed for Blank Shell Shutter

Fog (2Hours-Song-Making)

Delighted that Tim agreed to join the fun on this track, adding an array of guitars, bass and other sprinklings of magic from his box of tricks.  Please listen to his great songs at @penelopes-thrill.

Stop 
start spinning around
my head can barely hear a sound

Fold yourself in crowds
Do you never find the words 
to say out loud?
oh

Bloodshot be more kind
Did you say that we get better over time?
Oh no
Find yourself sunshine
Did you mean it when you said that you were fine?
Oh no

Are you homesick 
lost in other lives?
by the old bricks
built to bridge the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news..

Burn
blue skying bear
is there nothing left that's standing there
any more?

Are you homesick
lost between the lights?
By the old bricks
built to scrape the skies

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to do
It's a good day for bad news

Find yourself a life sometimes
Douse yourself in brightest lights
You can(n't) fool all of the people all of the time

It's a good day for bad news
(when there's nothing to see
but the sky burning blue
it's a good day for bad news
When there's nothing to say
and there's nothing to take
It's a good day for bad news).

It's a good day for bad news..

Lyrics :- All Of This Falls Away

All of this falls away,
But I want you to stay!
I like it where you are,
So near but so far,
But yet so far,
It's been great,
Hearing about you,
Carve out your way,
Not taking anything lightly,
Young and sprightly,
Nimble and slowly...
Yeah, nimble and slowly...
Making your way;
In this life,
Hopefully your happy?
And seeing how great,
This life is...?
It's not hard,
To make the best of things...
How they are, when they lie,
how they lie, when they do,
When they do,
When they do, when they do, 
when they do!

Cian's Song

All Of This Falls Away

R           o           X           X

Hi everyone. I hope all is well. This time I wanted to do a cover of the classic , ‘If’ by Bread with my own spin on it. They were genius song writers and musicians. The band was together from 1970 thru 1977. ‘If’ was released in 1971, from their 3rd album ‘Manna’ and reached #28 in the charts that year.
I like to do covers. I guess all the years from playing clubs
and learning all those cover songs is a part of my DNA. I still have a number of songs featuring Randy on lead vocals that I’ll release from time to time. I guess I’m trying to find my own way with his passing, but all is good. I hope you like this track and your feedback is appreciated.

					If
				by David Gates
			
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show 
The you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour, yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away

A warning sound
throw arms
lie awake
disappear in daydreams now

Hold your tongue
Light the match 
Tides will turn
so fill the rafts

And you take just what you can
Save yourself 
nowhere man
So just take what you can

Look away 
coup de grace
Featherweight
moved too fast

No I won't feel let down
Disappear in a crowd
and you take 
just what you can

Sing soft rains
we go quietly..

Coup de Grace

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

(Best experienced through earphones) a Stolen Glow are an outfit from Co. Wexford, Ireland. The group consists of James Murphy - 'Byrdz' [pronounced 'Birds'] (E.S.S. & One For Sorrow), and Alan Davis (E.S.S.) As a studio band the pair worked on a Stolen Glow for over ten years, with James, carefully crafting a blend of home-made rock music, and Alan, carefully focusing on some music, but then cutting his teeth on video animation. Two E.P.'s emerged 2016's 'Just Far Enough Away' and 2019's 'Rough Mixes'. The outfit's  album 'Ten Track Recorder' saw the light of day in 2020, and then the mainly (drop D based guitar tuned) 12 track album '11 Items' was released in the year 2022. (Both of these albums can be found on this page.)  Also, there's a handmade animated music video courtesy of Alan, for their track 'In Space', which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCHSqfdM-U  - And the pair returned to a tried and tested method that they developed in E.S.S. on their track 'This Day' of Alan supplying lyrics and James doing the rest... The video for that song is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5EfuB-XDg - Thanks for listening and viewing everyone! Have fun! We hope you find something that tickles your fancy.  - Byrdz & Alan x Enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/jamesmurphybyrdz/ https://www.instagram.com/alan_j_davis/ If your looking for more recordings...
