Description: This one is a bit special, it's the first song written and performed by my wife Helen. Helen had wanted to sing since childhood, but never managed to find the right opportunity to get started, and so in keeping with the betterlate philosophy, here is Helen's first song Try.

amazingly melodic...dig the slight twin track feel to the vocals, love the lyrics....big cheers to both of you

I luv this minimalist piano on a very good song ! Great vocal 🥳

So glad I eventually caught up with this beautiful debut by Helen. I can hear why it is so special to you both. It feels special to me too. Best to you both. Thanks for sharing

thats such a nice story - and so glad, you started singing!!!

Couldn't help but follow this all the way to the end.

Lyrics :
J'veux oublier
Où aller sans ailes s'envoler sans voler tout est plié
J'veux m'évader
Je voudrais tant laisser le temps oh tant qu'il est encore temps
Eh oh l'ovni
Viens me chercher emmène moi
Changer de vie  décolle moi de là
Hey oh love me
Dans l'univers où tu voudras
Enlacé dans une supernova
J'veux m'en aller
Respirer l'espace d'un instant que suis bien vivant
J'veux voyager
Me faire la malle pour un bienvenu quelque part et tout nu
Eh oh l'ovni
Viens me chercher emmène moi
Changer de vie  décolle moi de là
Hey oh love me
Dans l'univers où tu voudras
Enlacé dans une supernova
J'veux me sauver
Mettre les voiles à la bise où m'enfuir partout n'importe où
J'veux m'éloigner
Me trisser de cette tristesse me brûler la politesse
Eh oh l'ovni
Viens me chercher emmène moi
Changer de vie  décolle moi de là
Hey oh love me
Dans l'univers où tu voudras
Enlacé dans une supernova

I want to forget
Where to go without wings to fly without flying everything is folded
I want to escape
I'd so much like to leave time oh while there's still time
Hey oh UFO
Come and get me take me away
Change my life, take me away
Hey oh love me
In the universe where you want
Embraced in a supernova
I want to go away
To breathe for a moment that I'm alive and well
I want to travel
For a welcome somewhere and naked
Hey oh UFO
Come and get me, take me away
Change my life, take me away
Hey oh love me
In the universe where you want
Embraced in a supernova
I want to run away
Set sail in the breeze or run away anywhere, anywhere
I want to get away
I'm so sad I'll burn my politeness
Hey oh UFO
Come and get me, take me away
Change my life, take me away
Hey oh love me
In the universe where you want
Embraced in a supernova

This is about as close to a "dittie" as you get in the synth VST world. I loaded up 5 different VSTs, four from Logic Pro X and 1 from Kontakt, mapped them into 5 different and sometimes overlapping parts of the keyboard and played it all in one go. In other words this is a one man band piece that can be performed live - there are no overlays just a single play. It was kind of fun doing this and I felt like one of those street musicians playing on a pedestrian street in front of an old-fashioned department store while playing. Maybe some of you will enjoy.

Liftoff & Alit

We had met for a jam session without plan and purpose during the last sunny Saturday afternoon last year. By the time of this recording, we hadn't known that soon we would want to go for pee break, that the studio door is self closing, that the key was left in the studio, and that we would end up with nothing but the clothes on ourselves, one face mask and a bit of cash, and that we would spend the rest of the day waiting in front of some pub until it would open because there were rumors that some Tim working there has another key.

Fun fact 18 days after publishing: Martin just showed up at our place this morning, he had lost his keys, wallet, phone etc. again. I served him a glass of water.

The Band Without Keys

Recorded Live, a song about life and Death which go hand in Hand. 
Written and recorded by: Johnny Mc Farlane

It’s like honey from the bees it’s like cold ice cream 
It’s the most beautiful thing that you have ever seen 
Its like misty morning rain, its like a rainbows end 
Its the love in your heart for your best friend 

Its like ice cold beer on a warm summers day 
It’s the wind in your hair it’s the cold sea spray 
Its like waking in the morning  from a good night rest 
When your little boy tells you, “ Daddy you’re the best “

Its like when heaven and earth meet , when all the stars collide 
When your not alone and everyone’s on your side 
Its like coffee in the morning  or that 1st cigarette 
Its a powerful feeling that you never will forget 

It’s the morning sun on a bright sunny day 
Its like watching your kids as they skip and dance and play 
It’s the 1st flowers of Spring as they peak through the snow 
It’s the morning tide as it begins to Ebb and Flow 

And as the birds fly high soaring in the sky 
I hear the angels calling my name from way up on high 
Like the leaves in Autumn falling from the trees 
We all have to leave this place we are but a breeze 

And all we have are memories or experiences we have had 
The beautiful, the ulgy, the happy and the sad 
All weave an everlasting tapestry our legacy to recall 
And so with these last words my friends I say goodbye to all. 

It’s like honey from the bees it’s like cold ice cream 
You are the most beautiful thing that i have ever seen

Life- Acoustic Guitar version

ONLY HERE FOR THE RIDE

Sailing away on the crest of a wave
Point our bows to the rising sun
The diamond sea sings so softly to me
It says...

Day after day as our world fades away
We set a course for the brightest star
We fall fast asleep and dream crystalline dreams
’Til we arrive

When we arrive
When we arrive
We’ll build a city that burns like a fire

When we arrive
If we survive
Our children are greeted
By the Garden of Eden
They’ll never go hungry again
Oh what a feast we’ll have then
They’ll never go hungry again

Here is a cover of Saint James Infirmary (on electric guitar for once!). Result of several improvisation sessions on this mythical song...
Hope you like it !

Saint James Infirmary

Mill Lane is our temporary rehearsal space this year - located in the nth suburbs of Hobart its a huge warehouse that is in the process of being emptied of museum equipment. Each week the space gets bigger and more cathedral like as the crates go out the roller door. Heres a little taste from the other night.. you will need to excuse me on 2 fronts - My zoom seems to be reaching the end of its life so the recordings is pretty scratchy and 2 I reckon i am a bit out of tune... anyway the energy is good and the ears locked in to what the other musician is doing which I guess is the main thing. Happy Riffing

Kirby/Ward riffing at Mill Lane

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.
