- Lyrics: Good News

Keep the draught out of the garage door,
Feel the sense of relief from the good news,
Tee off the shot and hear the fore,
Don't worry about the don't's or do's... !?

Spend some time lying down fishing,
Take a vacation away from it all,
Get a feeling of what you've been missing...!?
Wait for something so you can play ball,

But that's not really what you want...
No, that's not really what your after...
No, that's not really what you want...
You're waiting for something to rock the rafters!

Coo...

Try a bit harder at what you really want,
Take no exceptions to the rule,
Write it out calmly in a nice bold font,
Your Mother didn't raise no fool,

Navigate waters from cold to hot,
Go from the start where everything glistens,
Take your time and see what you got,
Play it to anyone who will listen,

But that's not really what you want...
No, that's not really what your after...
No, that's not really what you want...
You're waiting for something to rock the rafters! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Artwork - Byrdz

(Good News) EP

Good News

I did  this over 5 years back with Johnny Hazard (JNY HZD) here on Soundcloud. I never released it on my page so I am doing it now before I forget to again. I re-mastered it and took out a lot of my earlier back-up vocals for a cleaner sound. This is Johnny's great music. It inspired me enough to ask him if I could have a go at lyrics and vocals for it and luckily for me he said yes. Even better luck was had when he said he liked it enough to release it on his page back in 2016/2017. We hope you enjoy it.
If you want to hear some great music, go to the JNY HZD page. He is an exceptional guitarist and composer.

About ten years ago I happened to have watched an award-winning Japanese movie titled “Nobody to Watch Over Me”.  It's a decent film but what really caught my attention was the theme song (an English song) which appeared right at the beginning.  It was performed by a British boys choir called Libera and written by a Japanese composer (T. Muramatsu).  I've been listening to both of their work ever since.  

Two years ago I said I should do a cover song each year but I had not done that last year.  So I decided to cover the aforementioned theme song but in a pop ballad approach rather than the choir/hymn setting in the original.    Just tell me what you think about it.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

[LYRICS]
You were there In everything I knew
 From the moment I began
 Always there in every way I go
 Saved me falling held my hand
 You are shelter from the storm
 The shadows fade away, all cares pass away

As hour by hour and day by day
 Your love lightens up the sky as it shines across the night
 Ave, regina caelorum decora  Virgo gloriosa, ave! 
 And when the end of day has come
 Stay with me through the dark and bring me home

 You are there
 Whichever way I go
 Keep me safely night and day
 Always there
 Whenever I'm alone
 Hear me calling
 Show the way

 You are shelter from the storm
 The shadows fade away
 All cares pass away

 As hour by hour and day by day
 Your love lightens up the sky
 As it shines across the night
 Ave, regina caelorum decora
 Virgo gloriosa, ave! 
 And when the end of day is come
 Stay with me through the dark
 And bring me home

You Were There    (Cover)

Stock crash middle class 
Counterfeit crime of a century
Cutthroat don’t choke
Better him than you on the brink

Cool breeze charismatic
Grave robbing scam of a century
Drill baby thrill baby
Burning up an Anthropocene

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Pill-poppin priest talkin trash 
Through the crash of a century
Blind luck dumb fuck 
Jamming up the waves on my scene

Flip top shock jock 
Certified creep of a century
I see you don’t know how to read
But you write like you know what it means

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me. I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Lyrics:
If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

There comes a time in every man's life
When the words won't flow and the melody slows
There comes a time when day turns to night 
And the flame once so bright is nowhere in sight

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

Please don't go
You'll never know
That every time I clear my mind
You're the only one I find

Disconnected and tone deaf
Emotionally worth less
Wondering what will be left
I fill my life with emptiness

Remembering your touch
I couldn't get enough
Now it doesn't even matter
No it doesn't matter

Cos if he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

If he stops singing
It will be the beginning
Of the end of a time when
Life is worth living

Don't stop singing
Never stop 
Never stop

Verse Lyrics by Joey Cape

Lyrics:

Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world? 
If you were an alien?👽🛸👾
If it were conspiracy?
And would it hurt to live in comfort
If you found someone to trust?
If you knew that you were with us?
If we shared a common goal?

We
We went our way
We went our way
We walked way

Not This Time

(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.  If your looking for more recordings... They are here :- https://archive.org/details/@james_murphy201
