I lost my wee Gran a year ago to Alzheimers, I got up in the middle of the night last night and wrote this wee song. It's so sad but it's what helps me feel my feelings, it's just recorded into the recorder in my phone so it's rough and crackly but so is life...

Fading

First mix of "To Change", recorded by Robin Parker :-)

Lyrics:

Runnin' round in squares again, my eyes are blind inside my head again,
Freedom of information is the freedom of translation of your life again,
Anonymous and dangerous you're sick of us 'cos we refuse to play your game,
There's nothing left to do to stop your world from crushing you and that's a laughing shame.

You'll never grow unless you accept and know that it's not easy (x2)
It's not easy, it's not easy, to change,
But it's easy to stay the same.

Medicated happiness is just a kiss then killing us with friendly fire,
Do your job, believe in god then sell your soul to history as life for hire,
Privacy is heresy if you don't see the family that's chosen you,
So throw down prejudice is this the second chance to miss what should have followed you?

You'll never grow unless you accept and know that it's not easy (x2)
It's not easy, it's not easy, to change,
But it's easy to stay the same.

You'll never grow unless you accept and know that it's not easy (x2)
It's not easy, it's not easy, to change,
But it's easy to stay the same.


To Change.FirstEdit 08.05.12@RobinsMP3

A wee lo-fi track I recorded a few years ago when I was holed up at home for a few months with a wrecked knee.

All vocal, no instruments. I used a wee free program called Audacity and just straight layered it up into my crap laptop with just an old Behringer mic.



Anyone

Another beatboxing tune, slightly different. This one was recorded using pro tools and features sampled beatboxing with compression, 'verb and a whole host of other wonderful electronic jiggery pokery like beat reversal and cut and paste hehe There's an actual bass guitar in there too but apart from that everything else originated from my mouth. Hope you like...

Flow Slow

A wee track I found the other day. Recorded this a good few years ago just as I was learning to beatbox. All layers are vocal, no other instruments :-)

Complications - Rough recording

A very rough recording, not sure whether to record it properly or not...

Around Us Changing - Rough Recording

Final mix, vocals pushed and bass fattened :-) I've taken down the old mix to avoid confusion!!

A song I wrote in the Summer 2012, originally just acoustic but with the inimitable Andrew Peffers laying down some fat bass licks and mandola and having the opportunity to record as many guitar and vocal tracks as I liked it opened it up into a whole new beast!!

Lyrics:

New beginnings for old friends,
A new lease of life with old common sense,
I walk on the dirt pile, i walk on the heat,
I must tread carefully now, I mustn't grow weak.

So treat me like you know me,
Don't talk into your bottle,
Lift your chin and face me,
Then just turn round and waste me.

Another connection, a name to a face,
Another exchange of ideals, an exchange of pace,
A chance encounter, a meeting of minds,
A chance to break into a run, running blind.

So treat me like you know me,
Don't talk into your bottle,
Lift your chin and face me,
Then just turn round and waste me.

So treat me like you know me,
Don't talk into your bottle,
Lift your chin and face me,
Then just turn round and waste me.

A Chance Encounter - Final Mix

An epic study in the key of DUB, just for your delight. A joint effort between Andrew Peffers, myself, a good few beers and maybe a spliff too far but that's what happens when you decide to write a dub track with bass, drums, guitar, mandolin, vocals and some nice effects and end up spending 10 hours straight fucking about with it... Hope you enjoy. Find yourself a few minutes to do nothing, pap Dub Tunda on and feel free to swatch us some feedback.
