A Blessing In Disguise

Cold Sweat

Listen on Spotify

It has been a difficult year with no end in sight. It used to be easy to ignore what was going on in the world and stay in your pretend bubble if you wanted to. we need to face reality and stop pretending our lives will go back to what we thought they were. I am trying to figure out how to write happy music but when I sit down and improvise what I am feeling it is sadness that comes out. Sadness for people dying who didn't have to. Sadness for people who chose to listen to opinions instead of searching for truth. Sadness for those who became orphans at every age. Sadness that my great grandchildren won't experience the carefree youth I had because so much has been, and is being destroyed in the name of profit. That is what this music is saying. Nothing will be the same again.

I spend much of this summer where I was unable to record anything I played. This is the first music I have uploaded in several months

Pretending All Is Right Tonight

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Not the best of days today, 
Bailiff breaking down my door.
Ain’t got no bread to pay
What he was asking for.
Stole my only chair away
It’s why I’m sittin' on the floor.
With all I got to see me right, this statement of arrears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Maybe time to hit the road
In my baby Buick Six.
Transmission fell out months ago
Standing up on bricks.
Seems every turn I’m knocked down low
By the devil’s dirty tricks.
Now all I got to see me right is a box of shredded gears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Chicken shack exploded
Feathers coming down for days
My moonshine still was overloaded
Time to mend my ways
Guess I always knowed it,
Life with the demon never pays
Now, all I got to get me through the night is an empty can of beer,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Never meant to shoot my hound,
I was aiming for the wife.
Seems I’m not the hottest shot in town.
Ain’t that the story of my life.
If there’s any bad luck kickin’ ‘round
It’ll head my way tonight.
Hell, all I got to see me right is a pocketful of tears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Step 1: we join the organisation but tell ourselves we will always be independent-of-mind and free.  Step 2: we are bossing it, cooking on gas, this really works for us.  Step 3: the organisation owns us, we can never leave.

Institutionalised

And through the breaking gloom
This uncontested room
I case the joint with pride
Occupy the underside
Squint in the interlude
Anointed in a jubilant mood
I glimpse the uppermost
Assume my celebrated post

One thing I know, I will never go institutionalised

Grasp the embodiment
Curated malcontent
Den’zens stoop to delude
Conform to servitude
We think ourselves beloved
Possess roles outsiders do covet
Intruder forgotten
‘taneously fresh and rotten

I start to sense I’ve jumped the fence.  Institutionalised.
Those years I spent inside the tent.  Institutionalised.

The twilight filth long past
Involuntary cast
of orphaned hostile eyes – per-
-forate the lost mile cries
Connecting doors turned sour
In the vituperative tower
Tortured triumphs tumble
Conjured corpulence crumbles

Too late for me.  I’m happy to be Institutionalised.
