Definitely my favorite tune on Soundcloud

Hooked from the beginning, great sound 👍🏼

Amazing vocals. Love the arrangements and mix. 👍👏

Nice vocals/hamonies & melody. I like the changing moods/pace in this song.

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

Skin Tight Socks  ---  COtu + Belial Pelegrim

A bit of positivity and optimism in a brutal and cruel world.

when our world turns mad
hitted by fanatics' delusions
when life plays its bad tricks , the bad days
i remain always positive
a genuine optimistic
an incurable optimistic

we all become blind and  deaf 
by dint of living as selfish
when they ask me if i'm "for or against"
i try to remain positive
a dreadful optimistic
an unreasonable optimistic
an incomparable optimistic
an unforgivable optimistic

Optimiste (Translated in English in description)

There's Lizzards on the walls in my hotel, it's hot as hell and it don't smell like my home town.
There's strangers in the halls, and the Punjab calls
while children laugh out loud without regard or regret

Ensconced in cotton course and white
the Charpois wait for another night
and the jet is on the runway, waiting for the northern flight
and Kashmir waits with open arms and mountains bright.

There's Lizzards on the walls of my hotel
Theres loaded Tongas on the teeming street that's lined with open stalls of spice and fruit and brass and salt and hanging meat.

There's Lizzards on the walls
Marigolds strung on strings wrapped around all kind of things.
Beggers on the street with broken arms and legs and feet, still smiling as they reach through diesel fumes and swarms of flys and eyes that stare longingly for some relief.

The Privileged life it dawns on me i didn't see till then and there
where a thousand stare in disbelief 
Humbled like a thief before the judge.

There's Lizzards on the Walls(a distant memory)

======= Lyrics =======

Blindly, drifting,

blaming others for your woes.
Why don't you look in the mirror, deep in your eyes, 
you gotta pay the price.

All the things you've said and done, 
all the things...
What have you done?

Sadly, drifting, 
won't connect with anyone.
Feeling misunderstood and too afraid to try, 
Why don't you see the sky?

So many roads you could take,
A world just waiting for you to wake-

You can't see the forest for the trees oh oh no,
Just about everything makes you freeze so oh oh,
You just keep on keep on running,
Don't look inside your mind.
You keep on keep on running, 
Hide.

But your mind knows, but your mind knows the lies, you know your mind knows why oh oh

Wildly drifting 
madly its lifting, 
step outside just stop the fight,
You know you have to try, 

You know your mind knows why, You know your mind knows why,

You know your mind knows.

Your Mind Knows

Your Mind Knows (with Aine Parkes)

what is your favourite version of this song?
educate me...i'd like to uncover a treasure.......

an east belfast version of an ancient classic
ok van morrison did it, so a 'sydenham' version :-) vm was from 'bloomfield'....it's getting more and more 'local'

these are lesser used alt words version...i can't remember where i saw them but they were in my head and i'm sure i got them wrong, but hell, it's the folk tradition...file under impressionism :-)

she moved through the fair (traditional)

The backing is a layered series of experiments in creating textures, primarily using the Noire piano. Helen then improvised a vocal performance we might describe as a dreamlike stream of ideas and motifs. After some initial hesitancy wondering what it was we were creating, we decided we rather liked the end result and thought we'd share it to the cloud.

Music, lyrics, mixing, production: Verulium
Vocals: Amanda

Crazy crazy - help me through the night
Maybe maybe - I’m wrong or right
I don’t care - I’m outta sight
I am blaming you

Platform shoes - tricky balancing
Candy stripes - just wanna sing
Penny rounds - they were a thing
I am blaming you

Can you keep it in the fast lane
You’ve got me feeling like a jet plane
And you know
It’s all down to
Glittering stardust stuck to my face
Hey hey hey come back to my place
Everybody’s there
We are having a good time

Listen to the records spinning around
Yeah yeah yeah we bought them in town
Everybody’s here
We’re all having a good time, so come on

Take me back - I love the 70s
I don’t care - could be the end of me
Stamping my feet to Slade and Sweet is all I want to do
Stamping my feet to Slade and Sweet is all I want to do

Got my hair - in a new feather cut
I’m out here - looking kinda good
Something’s wrong - with this neighbourhood
I am blaming you

Set those dials - on the time machine
Send me back - I’ve been wondering
if there was - ever such a thing
I am asking you

Can you keep it in the fast lane
You’ve got me feeling like a jet plane
And you know
It’s all down to you

Glittering stardust stuck to my face
Hey hey hey come back to my place
Everybody’s there
We are having a good time

Listen to the records spinning around
Yeah yeah yeah we bought them in town
Everybody’s here
We’re all having a good time, so come on

Take me back - I love the 70s
I don’t care - could be the end of me
Stamping my feet to Slade and Sweet is all I want to do
Stamping my feet to Slade and Sweet is all I want to do

I Love The 70s

I LoveThe 70s
