The Red Tribes

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

I Aint Mad Feat Emily Coy

uncovered secret, an endless divide
starless night, in the cold
waiting there for you, a burning wick of time

void of hope, darkest night, cold.
raise your eyes, look into the skies

I'll be there
I'll be there

another secret has opened my mind to the thought of endless light
the worry there for us disappeared with hope

count on me
count on me
count on me
I'm there

in case you didn't know, the struggle is deep in our veins
tempered walk, take it slow, take it slow
you always know there is light at the end
so push

count on me
count on me
count on me
I'm there

SLEEPING DRAGON 2022 09 18

If you're having a day where it feels like it's difficult to have time and space to breathe... spend a few moments with this track. Take a few self care moments of calm to shut out the world and use our quirky sounds to help visualize the "weight of the world residing within and on your lungs or chest" to be melting away, being plunked away, washed or rinsed away by The Divine. Breathe slowly, deeply... exhaling your concerns for just a few moments. Warning, this piece contains ASMR triggers... do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how your body responds to this.
