Mastered by my lovely Sander...thank you. 😊 Back at my acoustic piano again for this new song. 😊❤️🎤🎵🎹

Do you want the merry go round? 
I don’t want no ghost train
I don’t need no roller coaster 
All I need is you...

On the Ferris wheel
Take me up with you
On the Ferris wheel
I’ll remember this moment with you

No time for dodgems
No time for games
Don’t need no roller coaster 
When I’m close to you

High on the Ferris wheel 
Take me up with you
High on the Ferris wheel 
I remember this moment with you

I remember how we soared
I remember how we soar

On the Ferris wheel 
Took you high with me
Oh on the Ferris wheel
You’ll remember me...

FERRIS WHEEL (with my acoustic piano)

Written and recorded 1st December 2020

This week I only just learned of the passing of one of my favourite musicians on Soundcloud, Jim Horbett. Jim originally went under the monicker 'Local Man' and posted many wonderful songs, some of which are available on Bandcamp, but some are (as far as I know) only available here on SC.

Jim joined the Seattle Colonels of Truth a few years ago, but it was with his pals Daniel Ullom and Forrest Marowitz that he formed the Rain City Ramblers, a stunning 3-piece playing a mixture of their own material and traditional American roots music, including some of Jim's own pieces that he debuted here, such as Holiday and Suburban Hellfire. 

Jim's music was a great source of inspiration and one of his last posts on SC was an experimental piece called 'There's No Constant', a haunting and brilliantly imaginative piece that I took as inspiration for one of my most recent songs, 'On The Waterfront'... indeed, the original working title of my tune was 'Jim's song'. Sadly, by the time I messaged Jim to let him know about the song, he had already tragically passed away from cancer, aged just 31.

RIP James, 1987-2019

Lyrics:
Jim was "Local Man"
A Rain City Rambler
Once a Colonel of Truth
Not long ago

Bluegrass fingerpicker
Buffalo troubadour
"Scuz King" magic maker
Not long ago

I'm torn by feelings of loss
I'm torn by feelings of love
Goodbye Ramblin' Man
We'll miss you oh so very much

That square neck resonator
On "Queen of Revelry"
Rang like strains of heaven
Not so long ago

Bad News (Blues) came calling
like Suburban Hellfire
Too long for the season
Not long ago...

I'm torn by feelings of loss
I'm torn by feelings of love
Goodbye Local Man
We'll miss you oh so very much

BONFIRE
_______________
in this cold world
changing too fast

oh oh oh
hold fast
oh oh oh
hold fast

its been a long long time
we didn’t get 
we didn’t get 
together
together

ah ah

we didn’t get together
had i known
it was gonna be this long
i wouldn’t have - in the first place
in the first - i wouldn’t have
i wouldn’t have held back
held back
had time in the first place
i wouldn’t have held back
i thought i had time
i thought i had time

its not too late
i thought i had time
its not too late 

its not too
its not too late
not too

long embraces and hoping
sharing in something
warm embraces and open
sharing in something
sharing in something

could have been then
slips out in the comfort
could it be now?
if we made it
warm
again?

cause they’re ready now
if we made it
warm
cause they’re ready now

they’re ready now
sharing in something
slips out in the comfort
do it again
do it again, make it again!

make it again!

oh! oh! oh!


Bonfire
Build it up!
oh!
pass the passion
build it up
pass the passion
pass the calm!
oh!
multiply
multiply!
multiply!
oh!oh!oh!
multiply!
hard to die
multiply!
multiply!
hey!

if we make it warm!
warm…. again.

if we make it… warm again.

The Ones That We Love | Myrh & PrimaLoop

Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)
