@sound23-941370948: Thanks so much, I appreciate you listening and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

A great song given a great delivery. Thanks for sharing Brian

@sound23-941370948: Thanks very much, I do appreciate it.

I admit that I’m not familiar with this one but it’s well done amd I can definetly hear that it is a Dylan song

What a song choice, and what a faithful yet colorful interpretation. This son g grabbed me hard when it was released (yes, I ain't young) because of circumstances for me at the time. I have never forgotten it.

Please enjoy a new riff-fueled tune to help get you from point A to point B during RUSH HOUR!

Rush Hour [Intrumental]

This is one of my 'lounge series' acoustic thingies.  A simple one-take song/story for voice and piano.

Listen

Listen, I want to tell you, I respect you, I admire you
Listen, I want to open up, enfold you with my heart
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m talking in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I want to tell you, what’s the point in carrying on?
Listen, I’m giving up now, just can’t take this pain of losing
You’re looking closed up, I’m feeling shut down, is there no place we can meet?
I’ve lost the shape now, words have vanished, think I’m crying in my sleep

And you’re not even listening, no you never even heard
Now you drown me out, shut me down, I’m bewildered and I’m hurt

Listen, I need to tell you, how I love you deep inside
Listen, goddamn you listen, it’s no use, you run and hide
Been building walls up so long now, you’ve walled yourself away
If I come too close, you’re cornered and you toss my love away

Then I notice that you’re crying, in a small and subtle way
But there’s no way in to hold you, so I have to walk away
And I realise your pain now, the parts of me you heard
had to drown me out, had to knock me down, you couldn’t bear my words

And it’s all over now, the phone keeps ringing
and there’s really nothing left for us to say
it’s all over now, I watch you as you turn and walk away

Listen...

This track as you well know is dedicated to my amazing friend Keeana Kee https://soundcloud.com/keeanakee  😍😘

This is an improved version. The kick drum and bass line are clearer, the unpleasant rumble has reduced - and the whole thing can be listened to even at high volume, which was probably impossible before. I think now it's more balanced version.

A FIERY LOVER (mastered)

Keith had a gentle guitar phrase and  a few words that he was playing with and shuffled it over to me for a listen to see what I made of it. The result is the song below. The conflict is in the spirituality represented by the sparks on a fire ascending, and the observation that the embers twinkle, fade and fall, silent. What is it all about if the prayers, meditations and positive thoughts just fall back to earth like the sparks? The beliefs we embrace must hit the road of reality. If they measure up to good - wonderful! But if not? The supreme irony for me is watching kids being taught to hate in a religious school class.  I was going to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to set up the point of contrast (But you can't..."). Instead, Keith preferred the AND ("And you can't...") as, in addition to all that one CAN believe, you must be aware that other things follow too. Can And Cannot. So simple. Or is it?

Lyrics:
We seem to want to find
A spiritual connection to space and time
An affinity for infinity and the great beyond
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence, fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

It's the lack of definition of in the twilight hours
That makes it so difficult to find our way
Past all the claims and assertions of things that cannot be proven
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

Wigmore: synths, production, lyrics, vocals
Allen: guitars, bass, music, additional vocals

Hold On (To Someone)

And You Can't

You're a Big Girl Now (Bob Dylan cover)

Swirling the silence amplified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring a distant hum that slides
Seizing unyielding time

Swathes of yellow fading
Fleeting moments swaying
Fragments breaking through
Moments we once knew

Veils of drab hollow magnified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring of dances reeling by
seizing unyielding time

Stasis of Reeling Dances

This song was created as a result of a musical collaboration with Ed Bejzak (also known as @getupbass on soundcloud).

Enjoy the music and Thank You for listening. Your continued support is most appreciated!!

Lyrics

Even Fail
By Ed Bejzak and David Husted

V1
Wave sharpens
As it readies to pound
Under ocean canopy
Once again smooth
A tired refrain

Ch      
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail    

PreVs
V2
Crackle of fire
drizzle of rain 
cold and distant thunder
Now silence
Again and again and again

Ch2
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail    

V3
Falling, floating
Air rushes past
Sensation unfamiliar 
All stop 
Never and ever again  
Ch2
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail    
Outro
Even Fail
Even Fail
Even Fail

I tried to create a real big space. Not easy! Thank you for listening :)

Now it´s time
Remember and release
Now it´s time
The pain will come and ease

Now it´s time
To get back on the ground
Now it´s time
Declutter what I found

I can´t believe it´s over, a new beginning
...

Now it´s time
To become innocent
Now it´s time
To live luminiscent

Now it´s time
To overcome the pain
Now it´s time
To let it all go down the drain

I can´t believe it´s over - a new beginning
...

Rock the Night Away

I try to write songs in a wide range of styles, including r&b, funk rock, folk, jazz, soul, alt-country, and classic rock.  I grew up playing classical piano and later got into playing guitar and bass.  My songs are written, recorded, and produced entirely by me, with the exception that my wife Joslyn provides backing vocals on a couple tracks.  I've also got some covers here just for fun.
