Groove was stolen from the song 'Fire' by the king of Wakanda. References 雨滴 on classical guitar and V for Vendetta lyrically

Cassius

This song was inspired by reading Stoic philosophy whilst listening to Professor Longhair. I recommend both!
I am joined by the wonderful Mr Georg Böhme on an assortment of saxes. Georg is an exceptional and generous musician, I recommend his music https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

This song is for Barbara. 

Sometimes our friends need to know that we care.

Call Me _Acoustic  Guitar Version

With his fat belly hanging over his belt
He's a lot of fun
He's got flexi jeans and a leather belt
He's the number one
Comb that thining hair 
he's got so much flair
Macho debonair

So take that bunting down
There's no one in town
And I know there's no-one cheering
You called everyone
But no-one's come
They must be hard of hearing

Pack up your dreams and put them away
There's no heaven at the end of this stairway
You never launched that ship on your slipway
You were always waiting for someday

Waiting For Someday

[original guitar score by @john-byrne-117035719]

When I watched you from a paper cloud,
my paper cloud
was overflown with all the
beauty there could be.

And then it was time
to tumble down, can't turn around,
but every choice I made
made a smaller me.

And when I looked around
my world so small, no world at all
I remembered all the colors
I'd seen from above.

And I decided to enjoy the fall
dive into the rotten dirt
and dig me up some love.

This plane is going down,
but it's the screaming
of the air that awoke us

Good time to take a look around
and find the way to plummet
with an unrelenting focus

Yeah, this plane is going down, down, down
but it's still holding up,
and it ain't down yet.

Great time to use up all that focus
I need to burn my way
down to zero in regret.

[ zero in regre-e-et, e-et ]

So when I take you
by the neck and waist
then spin around,
it's like I'm dancing
with a much braver me.

Let's never plan
to settle down, nor settle for
anything less than everything
there is to do and be.

This plane may be going down
but nothing short of
a mountainside can block us.
It's time to move those feet around
we can dance circles 'round the world
when all we've got is focus.

[ Swing with me.
Take a swing with me.
We'll take a swing at everything there is
to do, and to be.
There's so much to do
and to be... ]

You're invited to my paper cloud—
my paper cloud
makes all possible beauty plain to see.

This plane's still going down,
it's going down, it's going down,
but it ain't down yet.
There's always time to
work our way down to
zero in regret.

We will watch the world
grow bigger in our eyes.
We will burn every last drop of fuel
on nothing will suffice.

Zero In Regret

What Is Right？

Sixties inspired soul love song for rainy day people :)
Perfect for awkward late night slow dancing.

From my new album "Friends, they're gonna get your story wrong"
Listen on Soundcloud under album tab
Lyrics:
Out for a walk on a Saturday with my girl
The sunny skies they open up
And down comes the doom and gloom
We hail down a rainy day taxi
We just love to slip into our rainy day groove
A rainy day mood
Rainy day mood

Hey, Mr DJ
I just had to call in
And ask you to make a dedication to my girl
Oh my girl, she loves the rainy days
And she just loves the doom and gloom
Any kind of rain song will do
It could be "Rainy Night in Georgia"
The Temptations "I just can't stand the rain" (*)
But that song wouldn't be true
Because she does
But, who am I to question genius and true beauty?
Sometimes you've just got to take those blue skies
And turn them gray
And revel in the beauty of a cloudy day

A rainy day mood 
Rainy day mood
A rainy day mood
Wouldn't you know it, she shares my love of impending doom!
And she loves the look
Of the gloom
Of a film noir room
Our rainy day moods...


(*)savvy music lovers will point out "I just can't stand the rain" was by Ann Peebles, not the The Temptations. My bad

Hey You

Simple Song

A song about being a semi pro musician.

Is That Your "Banjo"?

It could be, but I don’t think so
Is that me down below
It sounds like that sounds in synchro
Is that real? Then that’s a blow

That’s not me, I’m not so retro
“That’s you son, say hello”
“Give us a tune, is that your banjo?”
I’m feeling sick, it’s time to go  

Keep em happy, keep em drinkin
Keep the buggers on their feet
Give them medleys all up tempo
Give them something that’s got a beat

They all love you when it’s all over
“You’re as good as that Knopfler bloke”
All your money went on equipment
A lifetimes work, to go home broke

“Serve you right for having dreams son
We eat up souls in this road show”
“Give us a tune, is that your banjo?”
“Do you know anything by Status Quo?”

Is That Your "Banjo"?

Open up dem window to the soul
Lose your mind till you lose control
I got them diggy-bom beats from a haul
so save that flavor for the rigmarole

Take the mashup to the place unseen
magazine load a mega-magazine
butter bass make it fat make it lean
now brace yourself for the microphone fiend

Open up dem!
Op-

Open up dem window to the soul
Lose your mind till you lose control
I got them diggy-bom beats from a haul
so save that flavor for the rigmarole

Take the mashup to the place unseen
magazine load a mega-magazine
butter bass make it fat make it lean
now shake a leg for the mic
for the microphone fiend

Open up dem!
Op-

I got the diggy-bom beats
diggy-bom-bom beats
beats

Roll the drums in a sweet ragga ball
change the rhythm 
change the game 
change your soul
Is that a badda-bing-bang in your flow?
Blows your mind drastically
if at all

Take the mashup to the place unheard of
Zing a zong zing a zong zinger word-a
Make them radicals scream bloody murder
Every particle vibratin' with the word up

Open up!

I got the diggy-bom

Open up dem window to the soul (open up)
Lose your mind till you lose control (open up)
I got them diggy-bom beats from a haul
so save that flavor for the rigma-role

Take the mashup to the place unseen
magazine load a mega-magazine
butter bass make it fat make it lean
brace yourself for the microph-
the microphone murder!

Open up dem!
(the mashup to the place unseen)
(magazine load the mega mega murder)
(butter bass butter bass)
Open up dem!
Op-
Open up!
