Lyrics :- Try This Once

We're on this journey, and we got to make it work... together,
Separated forever, we've been, and we could make this work,

And if I just try this once, I think we can make it... work,
And if I just try at once, I think we can make it,
Do you think we can shake it?

Many moons ago, it was all mapped out...
Then times got strange, all headed south...
But the light in our eyes, burn in the dark...
And if you agree with me, we can light a spark!

But if we just try at once, I think we can make it... work,
And if we just try this once, I think we can't forsake it,
Do you think we can shake it?

Try this once and just believe, there's no problems to perceive,
Just lean back on this now, grab a fence, please, somehow...
Just lean back on this cloud, get a sense of it all right now...
Just lean back shout it loud, you might get a sense of it all right now,

It's make up your mind time.... Figure out the unknown,
It's make up your mind time.... Step into the unknown,
It's figure it out time.... Make up your mind,
It's figure it out time, Step into the unknown...

Try this once and just believe, there's no problems to perceive,
Just lean back on this now, grab a fence, please, somehow...
Just lean back on this cloud, get a sense of it all right now,
Just lean back shout it out, you might get a sense of it all right now... 
A sense of it all, right now!

Because the title of the song found a tone that matches the scenery of the cover photo. When I was choosing a tone with the intention of creating an arpeggio, I heard the sound of cutting an iron pipe.
I'm happy with the rhythm track, the bass sound that's even heavier but doesn't bother me, and the opening and break scene play. All are my favourites.
This song is the first time I've realized how much fun it is to create a bass part.

'Give everything I've got. Give everything.  All the time.  It's great fun. And it is liberating. Absolutely liberating.' Dr. Maya Angelou. 

I will not limit myself to conform, but will be authentic and radically honest in sharing my thoughts and experiences and desires.  I will remain true to my music and to what lies deep within my heart and spirit.  I will be open and more open and then again, more open...to give everything...to be totally present in every moment, so I can give everything I've got...

Thanks JCJCJC for creating this extraordinary energy within me that germinated this music.

Give Everything

I might 

just hum a song to pass the time…

Yeah, right… Like I could get You off my mind.

You know I feel your love all through my bones.

You know that you belong, so welcome Home.

Welcome home

Identity

1996

(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...
