=========================================
Mad Hatter was remixed and remastered on 11 January 2025
=========================================
In 1972 I was heading towards South America via Mexico and other parts of Central America. I knew that certain hairstyles were frowned upon at various borders. Rather than doing anything drastic, like cutting my hair, I purchase a $15 dollar short hair wig and wore it for my passport photo. 

That wig hat served me well across a number of borders.

I actually wrote the song before I ever crossed one of those borders. At least I think so. I know I wrote it while I was travelling on my own somewhere between the US border and Silvia, Columbia. I had plenty of time in cheap hotel rooms along the way.

I like to think that this song says something about the experience of being a traveller on the road to who knows where. I'm not sure what that might be, but it feels very familiar. It takes me back.

Verse 1:
Looking for hat that comes from south of the border
He needs very big one so it must be made to order
All we really know is that he's from a northern nation
Where he took off his sombrero and he left it in the station

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 2:
Morning takes his head and hides it in the corner
But that can’t conceal the fact that he’s been heading for the border
So he takes a couple pills just to prove he’s not a purist
Puts a wig hat on his head so he looks just like a tourist

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 3:
Paradise is just a place he touches on the run
The loving and the living give him strength for moving on
The world’s out there waiting but it always strikes him funny
When he ends up in some hell hole and he’s just run out of money

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter


Verse 4:
Can’t tell you bout his future, can’t tell you bout his past
Sometimes he says he’s happy and hopes that it’ll last
More often in the night in his hotel all alone
He wonders what he’s doing why he hasn’t got a home

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Waiting Tables

I've been staring at the clock, watching seconds drip away
You promised something big, but it's looking like delay
All these empty meetings, words circling like dust
I'm tired of the talk, where's the action, where's the trust?

You keep me hanging on the line
But is it progress or decline?
I gotta know, don't blur the line

Are you wasting my time?
Are we stuck on rewind?
Your empty words don't mean a thing
If you can't back what you bring
Are you wasting my time?
I've got mountains to climb
Stop holding me down, crossing the line
Are you wasting my time?

I'm here pulling double shifts, while you're stuck in first gear
Talking up big plans that I'll never see appear
I'm not your safety net, I'm not a stepping stone
If you can't keep pace, I'll move on alone

You keep me hanging on the line
But is it progress or decline?
I need to know, don't twist the signs

Are you wasting my time?
Are we stuck on rewind?
Your empty words don't mean a thing
If you can't back what you bring
Are you wasting my time?
I've got mountains to climb
Stop holding me down, crossing the line
Are you wasting my time?

Time is a currency I don't waste lightly
If you're standing still, you're falling behind me
I've got miles to run, I've got dreams to chase
I won't let you steal the hours I can't replace!

Are you wasting my time?
Are we stuck on rewind?
Your empty words don't mean a thing
If you can't back what you bring
Are you wasting my time?
I've got mountains to climb
Stop holding me down, crossing the line
Are you wasting my time?

Are you wasting my time?
Or should I just draw the line?
Tick-tock, tick-tock, decide
Are you wasting... my time?

Are You Wasting My Time?

Inner Spirit (prod. beatsbyhills)

Vista Mare wants to take you and transports you into a carefree world, to youth, where it took 2 beers and a guitar on a beach to be happy. Vista Mare is that song born by a chance, like a friendship, a love. Left for to long inside me, has now taken over. Vista Mare is a country /blues/rock song that mixes the past with the present, without forgetting the melodies.

HARDMAN & SNYDER - Never Ever Thought (This Could Happen)

Oh, the thought came to me.
Though it may have been a dream.
Am I floating alone in the void?
Now we all have to pay.
For our days with no consequences.
Are we drifting slowing away?
Away.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find a way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

Now, the thought disagreed.
Was it part of some strange dream?
Where I'm floating alone in the void.
Now, we all have to say.
That we're happy with our choices.
But that doesn't make it so.
Not so.

Now we wait for our getaway.
Hoping to make ourselves whole.
We were thinking eccentric.
But our dreams were always our own.
Now we've nothing but empty.
Pockets of misery sown.
It's been shown.
All alone.

Now we're hoping to get away.
Hoping to find your way home.
You were always eclectic.
But your dreams were always on your own.
Now you've nothing to show for it.
Nothing but skin on your bones.
Can you atone?
All alone.

The Picture

Voice of Reason

A fun collab with Combstead. 
I was originally thinking of a talkbox like effect for the guitar on the title phrase. Turns out you can't emulate that inside a daw very well. So I was sticking to a vocoder in combination with a wah pedal, both driven by voice input which sounded pretty cool to my ear. 
Did you ever experiment with Talkbox/ vocoder fxs on guitar? Lmk, I'm interested!
