Acoustic guitar is really well captured in this mix.

Awesome sounding vocals! Great recording quality too, amazing job!

Beautiful voice that cut through. You've got that "it" factor.

Really impressive! Captivating singer-songwriter style, excellent vocals.

Lost At Sea

Remixed and Remastered April 15, 2025.  
=====================================
Exploring the magic of nothing to do.

It started out as a chord progression.  Walking down a street in Alice Springs I found the first line. Little by little it became this song.

Verse 1:
I’ve got a little bit of time on my hands
Quite unexpected not a part of my plans
But just the same I’ve got nothing to do today

It’s the kind of nothing that can fill all the space
That’s always been here surrounding this place
So full of busy that is constantly in my way

Chorus 1:
I could have started on a project or two
There were a million things that I could do
Instead I stumbled into something new... appreciation

Verse 2:
Look at the sky and there sits the moon
And wonder how it found its way back so soon
It's like its hardly even been away

I always knew there were stars in the sky
Tiny holes in the curtain- they're hard to deny
I didn't notice - there was always something in the way

Chorus 2:
How could I have missed it, it was everywhere
I didn't see didn't let myself care
But something stopped me - i discovered something rare ... appreciation

Bridge:
In these quiet moments i wonder what's true
Exploring the magic of nothing to do
It seems to me when I let myself be
I might dicover something new .. appreciation

Verse 3:
I can't explain how my life got this way
Why do i fill every moment every day
Life so very full there’s not enough room for me
When i finally saw the value of slow
The value of finally having nowhere to go
I got a glimpse of parts of life i could never see

Chorus 3:
Dont get me wrong i like the life that i've got
But it wouldn't hurt in fact it might help a lot
If Once in a while i opened my eye to see .. appreciation

Outro:
I’ve got a little bit of time on my hands
Quite unexpected not a part of my plans
But just the same I’ve got nothing to do
Oh... I got nothing to do

Appreciation

This is a DIFFERENT version......all due respect to Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.  READ THE WORDS, fool....

Well, I heard there was 
a sacred chord
that David played 
and it pleased the horde
but you don't really care 
for music, do ya?

Well, it goes like this
plead the fourth 
drink the fifth 

the minor fall
and the major lift 

the Shepherd King 
composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah (repeat) POETIC INTERLUDE: 

GET IN THE CAR WHEN SHE ARRIVES 
TO DRIVE A POINT HOME
TO THE PRIMARY FACT OF THE HORIZON
NOW IS A COMMUNION
AND CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT DIE
DON'T STEAL OUR CHALLENGE 
WITH SALVATION

DYING AND GOING TO HELL 
IS JUST ANOTHER
CHILDHOOD AMNESIA

THE CAPACITY TO FEEL 
IS KNOWING
RATHER THAN 
JUST SAYING LOVE

WE FOUND OUR WAY BACK 
BY WHAT WE TIED TO THE SUNSET

SHE IS THE POET TO (K)NO(w) ONE

Your faith was strong
you needed proof
you saw her breakdancing on the roof
her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya

then she tied you to her 
kitchen chair
with her teeth 
she removed your
underwear
from your lips 
she drew the 

hallelujah 

all night

Hallelujah - etc. 

Baby, I've been here before
you know I've
seen this world and 
I walked through the door
you know I 
rocked out to the west 
before I knew ya

Like a seventh son 
on the royal arch
love is not 
a victory march 
it's a cold, and 
it's a broken hallelujah 

hallelujah , etc. 

(Timmy Purrs)

well 
there was a time 
when you let me know 
what's really 
going on below
but now you never 
show that to me, do ya 

remember when 
I moved in you
and the holy ghost 
was moving too
and every breath 
we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah

I Still Miss You Demo

this music is inspired by the stories of H.P. Lovercraft

The Undefined Force

Original version: https://soundcloud.com/axioms-of-mediocrity/a-little-bit-more

I've got the vision, but it's never quite clear
Every line I write, I hear a voice in my ear
Saying, "Polish the edges, smooth out the seams
You're almost there, just chase the dream."
But every stroke I make, it's never enough
The chase is endless, the road's always rough
I'm lost in the details, caught in the grind
Perfection's a prison, trapping my mind

Each revision, each draft, it's a game I can't quit
Seeking that flawless, elusive fit

Just a little bit more, and then it will be great
Just a little bit more, don't let it abate
Just a little bit more, and then I'll be free
Just a little bit more, it's never complete

I've been chasing shadows, ghosts of perfection
Lost in a maze of my own reflection
Every note, every word, it must align
I'm carving a diamond, one flaw at a time
But the sparkle I seek is just out of reach
A flawless creation, the goal they preach
But in the pursuit, I'm losing my soul
A slave to the standard, I can't control

Each revision, each draft, it's a game I can't quit
Seeking that flawless, elusive fit

Just a little bit more, and then it will be great
Just a little bit more, don't let it abate
Just a little bit more, and then I'll be free
Just a little bit more, it's never complete

I'm trapped in a loop, a never-ending quest
Each step forward, I'm still second-best
But maybe in the cracks, the flaws that remain
There's beauty in the chaos, in the mess and the pain
If I let go, maybe I'll see
Perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be

Just a little bit more, I'll find my own way
Just a little bit more, but maybe not today
Just a little bit more, I'll break from the chain
Just a little bit more, embrace the refrain

A Little Bit More

Lavender

I’m imagining here the swell of the ocean as the sailors are huddled together in the water awaiting rescue after their battleship was torpedoed. Tension is constant and unremitting as sharks circle the groups of men..

USS Indianapolis-The longest night

To the memory of the wonderful Roos.

Ian Collins @ian-211 helped a lot with the strings, piano, drums and production.
________________________

Rose, the story is being told that you won’t get old
I know it’s hard to see but there’s a light behind the trees, Rose
Your daddy was a friend of mine, though it’s been a long long time
Before the seasons changed and plans were rearranged

Like a seagull in the storm, you’ll take your lonely course
Ahead of the swarm, struggling with proud force
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

Solo

Little Seagull in the storm, with confidence and love
You will live on, down here below and up above
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

You don’t need to believe, but while the others grieve
Their love will guide you through and there’s one who’s waiting for you, Rose
