Always Far Away

Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

THE LOVE OF MRS. O (UNPLUGGED) - CRIPPLE CLUB

Many years ago I was in a bar out in the Mid West of the US and I fight broke out... It was weird coz it seemed like I was watching a real life film... lot of over weight 'chaps' swinging fists and kicking out like donkeys.  a very funny thing to behold. Anyway I wrote this track and am working on an album to go with it.  'The Buckled Wheel Inn'.

IT'S A FUNNY THING FOR ME TO SAY
BUT CHAOS COMFORTS ME
HATE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
BUT DANGER SIGNS, THEY MAKE MY DAY
>
I TAKE THE RISK, I NEVER PRAY
IGNORING THEM THEY GO AWAY
I SHAKE MY FIST, SAY COME WHAT MAY
TOMORROW I MAY PASS AWAY
>
CHAOS
KEEPS ME COMPANY
CHAOS IS THE ONLY FRIEND I NEED
>
CHAOS
SHE SAYS THAT IT’S HER HAPPY PLACE
CHAOS
HER COMFORT BLANKET OF CHAOS
>
HOUSE OF DYSFUNCTION OR A STABLE HOME
NOT A DIFFICULT CHOICE UNLESS YOU’RE LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
>
WHERE COMMON SENSE IS ABSENT
ALL THE RULES THROWN IN REVERSE
DON’T MAKE A LICK OF SENSE AND SHE KNOWS IT
HER DECISIONS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE
>
SURE TO MEET A SORRY END 
AND SHE’S LOSING HER BEST FRIEND
TWELVES YEARS OR MORE I’VE WASTED, 
NEVER ONCE LEFT HER SIDE
>
PROBABLY TIME I FACED IT, 
FORCED MYSELF TO QUIT
IT WAS A MIRACLE WHILE IT LASTED
BUT WAS INEVITABLE…..THAT WE’D SPLIT

CHAOS COMFORTS ME

Dans le milieu de la musique depuis un peu plus de 4 ans, j'ai été membre du groupe Star XD avec 5 albums diffusés sur les différentes plateformes numériques, où j'ai contribué à l'écriture conjointe ou l'écriture entière de chansons de ces albums tout en les interprétant en duo ou en solo.
2 ans plus tard, j'ai commencé à écrire mes propres compositions à partir de samples. Avec plus d'une soixante dizaines de démos - compositions écrites. Au jour d'aujourd'hui, j'aime à penser quelles sont porteuses d'un univers orginal et poétique. 
Le sentiment d'apporter ma contribution au sein d'un monde contemporain torturé, parfois prédateur, en y apportant des touches de litanies d'amour et de fraternité.
