Devil's Touch - AtticVibes

For those too young to remember (most,these days!)In the early 60s there was very little of the new rock and roll on the radio. What you did hear was controlled by the BBC suits,who had no liking for this passing fad.

Young people in those days who wanted to hear their music all day long tuned into the pirate radio stations. My choice was Radio Caroline North,which was anchored just off the Isle of Man.

These pirate stations were involved in a running battle with the authorities,in the shape of the Postmaster General,Mr.Antony Wedgwood Benn,more commonly known as Tony Benn.

Eventually,Radio Caroline was shut down and the musical arse fell out of my world. I listened to the final sign off when they played the Tremeloes song "radio Caroline',then there was radio silence. I felt like I'd lost a friend.

The authorities gave us the token of BBC Radio 1,but although I listened,because it was all we had,it was never the same for me and I won't forget.

Here's to the young who misbehave everywhere and to the changes they bring.


I recall Caroline
Playing over the air
It takes me to another time
A fresh,new somewhere

Play to me,my radio
Put the music in my head
Make everything alright
That's what the DJ said

Playing on the airwaves
New stuff every day
Youth will always misbehave
Will always show the way

The Postmaster General
He didn't dig the sound
He plotted for the burial
Send music underground

Play to me,my radio
Put the music in my head
Make everything alright
That's what the DJ said

I heard the dying moments
When they took it all away
They gave us all a token
But I won't forget that day

Radio Caroline

There is an English songwriter and performer you don't know,but should be aware of. You'll get his highly original and Bowie flavoured material here.

I was more than flattered when he asked me to collaborate on one of his songs It took me out of my comfort zone and I believe we made a good fit.

His sense of humour is typically English and this is a love song to his wife,couched in the lyrical content of technological obsolescence! 
Work that out!   😄

A head so full of relics I might just as well forget
The melody of pirate software uploading off cassette
Now I Instagram the Reeboks strung up in the treetops
It's trivia that reminds you, you've seen more days than you project.
Stuck in an 80s ballad: over emoting and constantly hoping for the big drums to kick in, and when

Nothing happens, everything changes
There is a pattern - if you squint you can start to see

Our friends put the child locks on, it didn't stop them falling out
We had our days of silence but they were nothing much to shout about
The server farms are screaming but we still whisper down the wires
As the revolution's webcast one Gig at a time
I swagger round - the pacifist gunslinger who begged to stay for dinner.

Nothing happens, everything changes
There is a pattern - if you squint you can start to see
That when everything changes, all that remains is
Your patience and the constant of your company

All I want is to become obsolete together.

Take Me There

Me old mate Martin Magill on piano in this rockin' rant about lying politicians and their obligatory broken promises.

The man in a suit and a plastic smile
He comes knockin' on my door
Left party,middle party we are the right party
Everyone rotten to the core

You ain't gonna get it
You're never gonna get it
Selling me pie in the sky

Orange and green,no colour between
How could it be any worse
All on the make and all on the take
And all from the public purse

You ain't gonna get it
You're never gonna get it
Telling me all those lies

Fat piggies,thin piggies,all the in-between piggies
In it right up to their ears
They get where they are as tribal piggies
By playing on tribal fears

You ain't gonna get it
You're never gonna get it
Selling me pie in the sky
You ain't gonna get it
You're never gonna get it
Telling me all those specially tailored lies

Interview with Pat Sissons on BBC Radio Solent regarding the work of The Lifehouse

Interview with BBC Radio Solent 19/12/19

A song written for my amazing friend Jarrod who we lost over 20 years ago. Jarrod was the nicest, funniest, goofball you’d ever wish to meet. He had a massive impact on my life and believed in me when others didn’t. I feel very lucky to have known him for as long as I did. 

I have tried to write a song that is as upbeat and as catchy as Jarrod was. It has been really lovely for me to go back in time to all of our crazy adventures together....memories fade...but only if you let them.

Thanks for listening.
Leo 😄

Memory

Epiphany is a cool word. Even cooler when it happens!

First track using my newly built baritone guitar.

Creeping on and dangerous
Like a rattlesnake
Nothing here to injure us
Falling awake

Scales on my eyes fall away
Crystal fair and square
My thoughts are a silent prayer
I see what's really there

Tears running down my face
It's all a big mistake
I think at last I know my place
Falling awake
