Dark Drive

A composition from a lower place expressing feelings and need to escape when the ineptitude of someone, somebody or service lets one down

Oh I Wish

Above and Beyond

And oh, life goes way too fast - I look to the past and all i see is you
and you were my shining star - better than the last - I better watch my breath
its fading fast - I know that you are here but you seem to disappear in all of my despair - I die again
I have to face the truth - that everything I am I am because of you
and you I know you feel it too cause everything that we've become we've never come undone
And oh this alcohol is killing me - sometimes i drink so much I cannot see - and you never bat an eye - stand by my side - no matter how rocky the ride 
and oh --- I know that your are here but you seem to disappear in all of my despair - I die again 
and I have to face the truth - that everything I am I am because of you - and you I know you feel it tooo- cause everything that we've become we've never come undone
remembering  when life was oh so simple back in the days
now I spend all my nights looking down at your grave 
its oh so dark and desolate this hell blowing in my face
I need you to have my back just one more time
and oh I know that you are not here but you seem to reappear in all of my despair I die again
and I have to face the truth that every thing I am I am because of you

Because of you (I die again)

Energy crisis

Because the title of the song found a tone that matches the scenery of the cover photo. When I was choosing a tone with the intention of creating an arpeggio, I heard the sound of cutting an iron pipe.
I'm happy with the rhythm track, the bass sound that's even heavier but doesn't bother me, and the opening and break scene play. All are my favourites.
This song is the first time I've realized how much fun it is to create a bass part.

Been thinking about Lou Reed recently and how he'd spin his lyrics. Especially his album "Berlin".

I'm Going Mad At Ten
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I’m going mad at ten
Won’t you join me then?
Have a bit of tea,
Then a maddening spree
Won’t you join me 

We’ll start with some soft shoe,
Then I’ll scream at you,
And make a fist to swing,
And we’ll break some things,
Then laugh and sing.

Your love led us to this madness,
My illogical syllogism
Your love has made us go quite insane,
See what the blows of mad people can do.

Your love ideal is high,
Way up In the sky,
I can’t stand on solid ground,
With you around.
Nothing is sound.

Your love led us to this madness,
My illogical syllogism
Your love has made us go quite insane,
See what the blows of mad people do.

How many times must you cry in pain,
to give our love some understanding,
How many times must you tell me,
There’s no reason for what you're doing,
love is just having fun,
Our love is just having fun,
and I’m mad to think you think you don’t want another beating,
That thinking is insane.

Tea?
How many lumps?
Fifteen?
Or as before,
Thirty-nine?

I'm Going Mad At Ten

Long Time Gone

Well you know honey i’ve been running
ain't gonna worry anymore.
Last night I felt no pain,
as passed out on the floor.

And I remembered a time
when you used to call my name,
but we both know
that's a long time gone.

It's harder to hang onto something,
when anytime it could slip out the door.
It's easy to know what you're missing,
when it's not around anymore.

You said I'd find it,
I'd find it at the end.
But we both know
that's a long time gone.

Honey, we're a long time gone.
Honey, we're a long time gone

We'll spend all that time looking,
for what that's so hard to find
The trouble you see is knowing,
what goes on inside that mind

And all that time I thought
that you and I were friends,
but we both know
thats a long time gone.

Honey, we're a long time gone
Honey, we're a long time gone

Long Time Gone

Path Of Flowers

Everything starts somewhere, including evilness

In shadows deep
Where whispers dwell
The night unfolds
A tale to tell
Secrets fade
In dreams we share
Through darkened skies
I seek you there
 
Root of all evil
Lost in your vision
Under the spell
Of sweet collision
 
Twisted paths
That lead us here
A haunting sound
That draws us near
In every breath
Your name I find
And in the dark
You unwind my mind
 
Root of all evil
Lost in your vision
Under the spell
Of sweet collision
 
In this embrace
We’re intertwined
A fleeting touch
With darkness aligned
 
Root of all evil
Lost in your vision
Under the spell
Of sweet collision

Root of all Evil

A vague, off the cuff rather uneventfull vibe considering what happens whilst braaing on the barbecue

A thought about the vastness of space, the heavens and all thats contained therein and how wonderful life really is here on our tiny planet

As it is in Heaven, also on Earth

Boudica is an historical figure belonging to British history

She was the queen of the Iceni, a tribe in what is now Norfolk, England, around 2,000 years ago

Boudica and her fellow tribesmen rebelled against the Roman invasions of Brittania in AD61

After her husband's death, the Romans ignored his will, seized all the land, flogged Boudica, and raped her daughters

In response, she led a massive uprising, burning Roman cities including Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium (St Albans)

Her legacy is engraved in British history and although ultimately defeated in the Battle of Watling Street, she is remembered as a national heroine and a symbol of British resistance against oppression

I wrote this piece after reading her story

Boudica Queen Of The Iceni


Your bangles jingle in the quiet night
Stars blush at your glowing light
Each step you take
A whispering breeze
Hearts bow low
Love’s gentle tease

Under the banyan
Shadows sway
Will you look my way
Just today

Moonlight mehndi on your hand
A story drawn in desert sand
I reach
I wait
I stay
Will you love me
Love me
Say

Your laughter rings
A temple bell
A secret tune
No one can tell
The sitar hums
The tabla sings
And my heart flies on broken wings

In the jasmine-scented air we stand
Dreams like henna stain the land
If I’m the thread
You’re the loom
We weave a dance beneath the moon

Moonlight mehndi on your hand
A story drawn in desert sand
I reach
I wait
I stay
Will you love me
Love me
Say

Moonlight Mehndi


The fields once whispered of golden grain
Plowshare carved
But the marks remain
A stag in the bramble
Its antlers caught
Echoes of wars the seasons forgot
Rust on the blade
But the hand won't rest


Oh
The soil bears no flag
Yet it bleeds
It drags


The Lord's forgotten fields
Where the earth refuses yields
Stone walls crumble
Time concealed
The Lord's forgotten fields


The blackbird calls where the banners flew
Crows pick the scraps of the old and new
A kingdom's promise
A fleeting breeze
Bound by the roots of the ancient trees
Dirt-stained palms held nothing but dust


The Lord's forgotten fields
Where the earth refuses yields
Stone walls crumble
Time concealed
The Lord's forgotten fields


Oh
The harpsichord hums where no dancers tread
Steps of the past
Long buried
Long dead
A squire's laugh
A widow's plea
Lost to the land
Like foam to the sea


Above and Beyond
