Very nice piano improv, meets the Poe spirit!

Tranquil masterpiece. Love it. Very modest 💎💜

I feel like a black raven listening melancholically in the corner of the room.

I watched the video too.   Interesting af you used ai to animate Poe.  Really cool.   ✌️😑

Cool music has the sound I could associate with Edgar Allan Poe.

"THE CALL" DRINK PURPLE

Volume on 11 for this one …. The pulsating rhythms instilling a sublime sensation of both restraint & motion, like driving. Part one is a guitar ensemble and later part 2 introducing bass effects and an addictive synth motif hook

The eternal quest for inspiration,starring the inevitable setbacks. 

Searching for inspiration
Sweating blood and tears
Sometimes all information
Just disappears

Easy times in days of youth
I knew the way
Time to face the hard truth
I've nothing left to say

It's all gone away

Nothing left to say

Running down a dead end street
Chasing the muse
Finding more chaff than wheat
Nothing to use

Nothing left but tired old tat
Done the same old way
Pick the lyrics from a hat
No one listens,anyway

It's all gone away

Nothing left to say

JustForYou


Feeling kind of dark inside
On the edge just scraping by
And hoping for more
Cynical of the past
Waiting for another chance
Then you came through the door

When I looked into your eyes
Couldn’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

I was lost in a black abyss
Needing more than a quick fix
And the spark for the catalyst 
Was the passion of our first kiss

Well things don’t always go as planned
Sometimes you know shit hits the fan
But I don’t get sore
Counting blessings yes indeed
Got what I want and what I need
When you came through the door

Now when I look into your eyes
Can’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you

I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

As Edgar Allan Poe was writing his famous poem "The Raven" , his young wife Virginia was severely ill with Tuberculosis (to which she would succumb 2 years later). The poems theme of a lonely man grieving for a lost love visited by a mysterious raven, invokes the grief that Poe experienced repeatedly during his life from the loss of close female figures, starting with his mother ( who died when he was aged two). Following the death of Virginia in 1847, Poe became increasingly unstable and died in mysterious circumstances only two years later, aged 40.

The video that accompanies this piece uses AI to animate Poe's photographic portrait while film clips show footage from a 1909 short film directed by D.W Griffith. The film is a non biographical re-imagining of events, that show Poe writing The Raven in order to buy medicines for his wife, who upon his return after successfully selling the poem to a publisher has tragically succumbed in his absence.

ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH C’EST FOU CE QU’ELLE DÉVORE 
ELLE EST DE L’ESPÈCE DES SOURIS PAPIVORES
OTHELLO MACBETH COOPER FENIMORE
BIEN SÛR MONSIEUR TESTE AND SO MANY MORE

AND IN A WORLD OF WORDS SHE LIVES UNDER THE SPELL JUST LIKE A MILLION BIRDS QUI LA FRÔLENT DES AILES

PLEASED TO MEET ELSPETH
MAIS NI REGRETS NI REMORDS SHE’S ALREADY FOUND HER BEST FRIEND AND SO MUCH MORE
YOU LUCKY ANDY

ET DANS SON MONDE DE MOTS SON UNIVERS DE LETTRES 
C’EST DES MILLIONS D’OISEAUX QUI LA FRÔLENT PEUT-ÊTRE

COMMENT ELLE S’APPELLE ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH 
COMMENT ÇA S’ÉPELLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL 
AD LIB
AND IF YOU DON’T THINK PARIS WAS MADE FOR LOVE GIVE LONDON ONE MORE CHANCE

LA SOURIS PAPIVORE (Lyrics) song for Elspeth

LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

I started out, I had no plan
I took a job and soon was working for the man
And now it seems through modern dreams
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means
Yes we have the house, And we have the car
And paid for it all, on some credit card, now that ain't right!
Oh no, no

My second home, your student loan
And every year I got myself a brand new phone
Can't do without, don't have the nerve
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve
Yes, I can't make do,  With just half my chеque
I need all those things, so I live in debt
Now that ain't right
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told, was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
And now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I can't slow down, I've lost control
I've  double down and tell myself I'm on a roll
It's not my fault, it's not like me
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free
Now I'm wondering, has it gone too far?
Should I pick up the cheque, At this hotel bar? Now that ain't right!
No, no, no
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king
I let it have the power on me
Now I recognize the funniest things
Is I'm broke and now I'm finally free hee hee hee-hee!

We all know life don't go as planned
So now I'm buying all my records second hand
It's brought me these, I've come to see
That all my greatest joys in life are always free
I still have my house, But I've sold my car
It felt so damn good, To cut up those credit cards, yeah that felt right!
Yeah, yeah, oo!
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

Up With The Jones

A couple of months ago I had the chance to jam with a couple of friends on guitars at a dinner party. We played a few Stones covers, and the vibe was ok. Then suddenly someone named the Velvet Underground, so I started strumming and singing a classic number we used to perform pretty often when we were young, "I'm Waiting For My Man". I could really feel it, and when I got home I thought it was worth trying to record it. In the past we used to cover the Live 1969 version, but this time I tried to blend it with a couple of other renditions, namely the 1972 Transformer Tour performance and an acoustic demo recorded in 1965. Quite obviously, I ended up adding to this bizarre jumble my own touch. I completed most of the tracking in about a week, but it took me a long time before trying to record vocals. It somehow sounded dull and trivial to my ears, so I had lost interest in finishing the song. Then a couple of weeks ago I felt inspired and I did the vocals. I also added an organ and a Cretan lyra parts, to make the ending section sound a bit more exciting.
Hope you'll enjoy this studio jam, I think it sounds quite unusual if compared to the rest of my stuff, but at the end of the day it's not so bad to listen to.

In this fictional story, Madlyn, "the little girl dressed in blue" from the track, Climb Up the Ladder is missed by her dad. We've gotten a number of condolence messages. I guess we did a good job on this track!

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.
