The second song to be released under the name ‘Continental Collision’ but this time with special guest and good friend Dave McKeown. Rodolfo first let me hear the original basis for ‘Boring Town’ back in June, yet somehow he didn’t sound excited about it. However from the first I knew it could be great. I was looking for the story in those two words as well as in the mood of the music and fortunately it came quite quickly and fitted like a glove. Singing this was a challenge for me, like everything we do, but it was exhilarating. I had introduced Rodolfo to Dave’s cloud and it felt right that we should ask Dave to help us complete the song. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with him again soon.

When I look around I see the light’s gone out this town,
Realising just a bit too late.
Streets have all gone quiet and feels like all the wires are down.
Tell me why I’m feeling in this state?
Not so long ago we felt that we’d be happy here,
Not just for now, but for always.
That’s all turned around now at least that much it is clear,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you,
It’s such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

The bar, where we first met, is still there, though I never go,
Realised it’s lost its old appeal.
Crossing the park, where we might meet and stop to say hello,
Couldn’t deal with how it made me feel.
All the places we once loved I feel I must avoid
Not just for now, but for always.
I no longer know what I want, I feel I’m paranoid,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you, where did the love go?
Such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

Lyirics:-
All I can do is just search
For the signs in this maze , today
I'm feeling confused by the route
That I've taken along , the way
maybe I should turn around and
Begin to begin , again
But that wouldn't help with the
Things I have learned
Every now , and then

Right now where I am here stood
I'm on the trail now for good

I'm roaming around to the sounds 
In my head i can't concentrate
I'm reeling and rocking and rolling
I really am quite a state
But something inside me says
It's gonna be more than 
Worth, the wait
If I can just hold it together enough 
To stay true , to faith

Right now where I am here stood
I'm on the trail now for good

On the trail 
On the trail
On the trail

All I can do is just search
For the signs in this maze , today
I'm feeling confused by the route
That I've taken along , the way Yeah !

Right now where I am here stood
I'm on the trail now for good

Where Angels Sing (1999)

In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

7/15 from the collection, Everything Except Oblivion (soundcloud.com/jenniferroe/sets/everything-except-oblivion)

This is one of fifteen vignettes written, translated, and produced by sound artist Raul (Raðulfr Maganhar, @raoulfr) and voiced by Jennifer Roe (@jenniferroe) from the project, Everything Except Oblivion. "It's not poetry, it's not music," says Mainer, whose "thinkmeters" are cut and crystalized from his daily experiences. Each "slice" paints and processes a memory—the good and the bad, the light and the dark—in a sort of sonic journal. "Each one has their story and characters, but I hope that whoever listens will make it their own," says Mainer, who likens these soundscapes to meditation sessions for mortals. Against a backdrop of mystical music, a narrator points the way to nirvana . . . but with words and sounds that are earthly and human.

7: With Ripped Pockets (Raðulfr Maganhar ft. Jennifer Roe, voice)

A spontaneous piece. A short repeating pattern on the piano was found and the lyrics followed in a single take with some background harmonies added to round things off.

The Turtle Project and me have collaborated on a new tune , Turtle sent me the track and i toplined on it , go hear his work :-https://soundcloud.com/turtle-project
LYRICS:-
Have you been away so long
And don't know how
To pick the phone up
And utter that word "HI"
Have you sat on lonely street
And don't know why
You torture yourself
All the days and nights

I have , I do , 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

Letting everything pile up
Is my forte
Procrastination
I can do so well
Desire to change is something
I can't find inside
I want the world to change
How can I help ?

So I , I write
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts 
Get in the way

Never thought that my fears
Would ever take over again
Even after the things
That I've learned
I'm here again
But I know I can stop
The spinning of this damn
Merry-go-round
Jumping off the ferris wheel
I can land on the ground

I have , I do 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

A Strange Lullaby (YT video link in description)

In 1959 Candi and I went to kindergarden in the same class. We lived three blocks from each other. We graduated from highschool in the same class. There were other kids in that class that I graduated with. Families didn't move much like they do today. Candi went on to become a fabulous painter and still lives in the house she grew up in, while I can't count how many times I moved. I found out recently she isn't feeling good and is having a hard time. So I do what I do and I record music. Everyone should have their own music.

The Sweet Escape - female cover in Japanese (feat. Kirine)

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
