Journal #26 (Humpty-Dumpty)

Lights of Love

Intro is from 1946 film ‘Its a wonderful life’

V1:
I saw a shadow in the rain
It spoke to me
It wore your voice and knew my name
Never to leave

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
I don’t think that you noticed
Doesn’t matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C1:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
Coz all I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Bridge:
Give me something to burn

V2:
I run but when it rains it pours
Are you surprised 
She hides the clock beneath the floor (8)
I lose the time

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
Have you ever noticed 
Seems not to matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C2:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Give me something to burn

Burn

“Just Who You Are” is a love letter to self-worth. It’s the voice we all need in the quiet moments—the reminder that we don’t have to prove anything to be lovable. With a gentle groove and soulful delivery, Tim Cooney offers a message of unconditional acceptance, not just to a lover or a friend, but to anyone who's ever doubted their value.

Part of The Journeyman soundtrack, this song is a soft anthem of healing and a celebration of authenticity. It doesn’t shout—it uplifts. And in a noisy world, that might be the bravest thing a song can do.

Just Who You Are

Live from Dublin

Thoughts Flood Back To You (Live from Dublin)

Lyrics 

I remember sitting at that wooden desk one spring
Your weathered hands traced circles on the board
About the way that water moves through everything
While outside, rain was falling, largely ignored
You turned to face the class with fierce intensity
That made us all sit straighter in our chairs
"The world," you said, "is not our property"
And something in your voice caught me unaware


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do


You brought a jar of soil and poured it on your palm
Explaining how each handful holds a universe
Of creatures keeping all our systems calm
The food chain's not a chart, it's something worse
You showed us photographs of melting polar seas
And spoke about the bees that didn't return
I watched you plant a seedling by the maple trees
And waited after class, now desperate to learn


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do


Twenty years have passed, I'm teaching science now
Standing at my own board, drawing water's flow
When students ask me why I care so much somehow
I hear your voice still teaching what I know


I take my classes out to touch the morning dew
And watch their faces change just like mine changed
When understanding breaks and something deep and true
Connects them to this earth we've got to save
The passion in your lesson echoes through the years
As I pass on the wisdom that you shared


Your words that day changed everything I knew
Now I see the world the way you do

"Let me look on the water at the end of every day. Let me look on the water and wash my cares away. I like to look on the water it's so vast and calm and free. I like to look on the water. Oh won't you come with me."

Look On The Water

Hailing from the Blue Mountains and Port Macquarie, Candy Oh and Andrew Deasey are Cee Dee Stone.

Meeting through a mutual friend, they quickly discovered themselves a musical match - with Deasey writing intricate, open-tuned riffs on the daily, and Candy's self-taught melodies and lyrics fitting the bill perfectly.

From June - Sept 2024, they wrote 9 songs for their first album, Ugly Skin, and began recording at Everland Studios in October with sound producer Ben Worsey.

In the studio they collaborated with strings maestro Marcus Holden (Fiddlers Feast), Double Bass extraordinare Steve Elphick and OG groover, Drummer Bruce Stephens.

What they have created has been described as a lush soundscape of raw, vulnerable, REAL music. Layered soaring vocals and sophisticated instrumentation - some have reminisced on the likes of Kate Bush and Dan Fogelburg. 

On the journey of Ugly Skin, Candy and Deasey say "it has been a great learning curve, growing in our style and confidence, and we already have the next bunch of new songs underway for a follow up album. We truly hope you love listening to the songs, as much we loved writing them!"

Stay tuned for release and gig dates.


Review from Mike Woods - Trio of Misfortune
"A wonderful showcase for your singing, lyric writing and how you conceptualise a song.  The trust and interplay between you and Deasey is laid bare here. The violin adds weight and atmosphere and the movement of energy within the songs between your voice and the violin is the highlight.  It has an Astral Weeks quality. The vulnerability that you put out is frightening.  I hope that I can support you in some way as you bring this music out.   Congratulations!!"
