Black Rain Acoustic (Stina Crow)

This here is a little ditty I wrote last year. I thought it sounded a bit cowpunk so I gave it the unimaginative name Cowpunk 24. I played around with sounds and ended up playing my acoustic electric through my Vox amp with maximum flanger. Yeeharrrr!

Lyrics:
Steady your hand, hold it out in front of you
Palm down, open wide, keep it still
Steady, steady like a rock

Fill the lungs, hold it in, don’t let it out
Oxygen is life, oxygen is life
Without it slip away

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Getting reps in, keep a mental count, the turns
Generally speaking, random mark
Pump it out, turning over rocks

Over under, beat the odds on favorite
Carrying the bag, subjective satisfaction
I feel satisfied

In the presence of certain company
Discretion opposite honesty
Find the right moment and then lay it out
Save the hurtfulness for next time

In the presence of certain company
Save the hurtfulness for next time

Discretion Opposite Honesty

I was listening back to my band from back in the 90s This Elegant Chaos and thinking this needs to be heard again. 
This was a band that formed quickly from other bands we had all been in previously.
With 90s Britpop/ Indie Alternative Rock still very relevant. I thought these tracks need a fresh outing. 
I would consider this band to be some of my best work to date. 
So I’ve decided to release a track every time I have a space in between current releases. 
This track Dreaming Of Johnny is about a dream I had about meeting John Lennon after he faked his own death to be free from media/ music industry pressure. He was living in Walsall on Sea in the West Midlands in a flat. 
Yes I know it doesn’t make any sense but it’s a dream. Tells the story of meeting him and explaining why he faked his death. 
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

Dreaming Of Johnny (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Asked a man standing outside a lift
Does a genius live here with a certain gift
He pointed his finger to the very top floor
But saying that I can’t be sure
We was elevated to floor nine
When I knocked it was all out of time
She open the door dressed in lace
I’d finally arrived at Johnny’s place

Chorus 1
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality

V2
A grubby white room with a yellow table
Just like my mothers, only more stable
You have failed me in your far as dream
As he offered me coffee with cream
I faked my death to be free
But that’s just between you and me
Dreams are sometimes closer than reality
Waking up, reveals the true brutality

Full Chorus 2
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality
Dreaming of Johnny 
Suburban coastlines
Dreaming of Johnny 
He lives at number 9

Middle 8
Imagine whatever gets you through the night
If it’s instant Karma, then I’m losing you
I am I beautiful boy, playing mind games
Where what why and who

Dreaming of Johnny 
Dreaming of Johnny 

Finish on a full chorus 




Dreaming Of Johnny - This Elegant Chaos

Written by James Geer

 I’ll sleep all day
 down in Wonderland
No bills to pay
 down in Wonderland
I’ll live for free
That’s where I’ll be
I’ll be all day
 down in Wonderland

I’ve bread and circuses
 down in Wonderland
 where my purpose is
 down in Wonderland
Drop by and see
I’m always free
Free to be
 down in Wonderland

Wonderland
