Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

When I stumbled across Ren and heard her incredible voice, I knew straight away that I really wanted to write a song for her. 'Safe' is the result. Ren's thoughtful lyrics paint a poignant picture of a difficult situation, in which one is trapped and desperate to leave, in the hope that they can feel safe again.

You can contact her at https://soundcloud.com/renfaye-1

Lyrics are below:

I know...you are near...when the lights go...out...

I can't, think straight
When I'm next to you,
I'm out of place,
When your words cut through
Like glass, I'm little tiny pieces in the mirror,
Shrink myself now
Pretend that I'm not here
Printer ink run out...

I can't breathe right,
Like I did before,
Losing my fight,
Stays behind closed doors...

And all,
All I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know, that you are near...

To, feel safe (All I ever wanted)
Safe, from you... (and the rasied-voice sound)
Safe,
All I've ever wanted
To feel safe from you...

And I try and I try but there's no escape,
In my sleep I crash down wild-awake
Visualising, of a time when
I can be free

As I exhale,
Into the cold air,
Open my eyes,
You won't find me there
And all, all I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know,
That you are near,
When the lights go out...

...and the raised-voice sound
(ooh...ahhh)
When the lights go...
Safe,
All I've ever wanted to feel,
Safe,
From you.
Take,
there is nothing much left.
That I can,
Take,
With me.

Ah...ah...
Oooh...ooh
Ahh...Ahh
Ahh...ahh..ahh

Safe,
All I've ever wanted,
To feel
Safe,
From me...
Safe,
There is nothing much left
That I can take,
With me

Ahh...

I know that...
You are near...
When the lights...
Go...

Out...

Safe (feat. Ren Faye)

<<a breakup song>>

You can read me like a book
You can play me like a song
the one that you turned to 
When things went wrong

The angel on your shoulder
The hero looking over
I’m feeling so much older
And the world seems colder 

your words are a circle
Drawn in the sand
There is no beginning
There is no end

Like wandering the desert
40 days and nights together
I don’t work well under pressure
Can’t find the answer

You can take it like how you want it but I still want to be your friend
Your savior ain’t beside you so unless you look inside you
We’re out here alone
We’ve got to save our own skin

We get up when we’re down
Now were lost, we’ll be found
We go out on the town until the morning comes

We’re a little bit older, you’re a little more sober, I’m a little hungover
When the daylight comes 


life is beautiful
Life is a scream
But here comes the heartache 
that dashes your dream
 
there’s a devil on your shoulder
a shadow falling over
your feel so much colder
The world seems so older

When The Daylight Comes

『おれは罪人』
作詞・作曲 / Papyrusたくや

信じたければ信じればいいし
信じたくなければ信じなければいい

新興宗教に蝕まれて
優しくなった親父がいて
何とかっていう通販サイトに騙されて
とても幸せそうなおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんがいるんだよ

お母さんはいつも不機嫌そうな顔をしていた
だけど時々優しいからさ
憎み切れなくて

おれには兄弟がいる
必ず夢を叶えるんだって言って体に刻み込んだ君を
今でも応援してるよ

小さい頃におれが家族から受けたことが虐待だというのなら
安心してね

もう罪なんてどこにもないよ
あなたを裁ける人なんていない
心にひとつだけあるのはおれの罪の意識
それだけ

そう おれは罪人なんだ
そう おれは罪人なんだ

仕事だって続かなければ人付き合いも苦手で
愛想笑いもできないおれだ

15の頃に高校をやめて
それから何回窓ガラスを割って喧嘩をした？
人に迷惑を何度かけた？

この罪をどこまで持ってけばいいんだろう
罪悪感があれば恐い夢を出してしまうっていうけれど
おれはこれから何度恐ろしい夢を見ればいいの？

何度恐ろしい夢を

世間とは個人 夢とは鏡
塗り替えられた世界を今日も生きる
死ぬか生きるか それはおれが決める事
空き缶集めてでも生きて行くさ

生きて行くさ
生きて…

こうやっていつもおれは人のせい
投げやりになってしまうんだ
ゴミ拾いの前に何かできるはず

もう少し
もう少し
もう少し

おれは罪人

I have written this song for all people and creatures who suffer from the increasing resurgence of right-wing populist and repressive political systems

Lyrics in English:

The murderers are still among us
They are further called "Hinz" and "Kunz"
Are completely anonymous and nameless

Arisen from the womb
Who unites them in hatred of foreigners

White as a sheet in their souls
The heritage makes them great again

The murder legacy is now starting:

They may vomit again
Insulting, groping, staring at women
Ripping Jews Kipas from their heads
Shitting on PoC their need

Lighting homeless people at night
Inventing the Holocaust as a lie

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

The language is diluted
It targets the lowest instinct
Pretends to be "The People"
Invades the angle of revenge of bitter souls

Arouses envy of those who are at the top
And those who are supposedly getting better
Until a legimitation is created for them:

To kick, to beat, to torture, to rush
To sharpen the weapons against the alleged invasion
To pillory those again who think differently 
To swell the national chicken breast
To set nasty traps for those who are declared vermin
To ennoble the betrayal
To gag the deviants dead 
To wriggle themselves superiority with the tail of the power demon

Never again!
Turn off the brown light
Never again!
A mortuary house 
Never again!
Mass murder as a plan
The banality of evil is sneakily creeping up
Never again!
Never again!

Deutscher Originaltext:

Nie wieder!

Die Mörder sind noch immer unter uns
Sie heißen weiter "Hinz" und "Kunz"
Sind ganz gesicht- und namenlos

Entsprungen aus dem Mutterschoß
Der Sie vereint im Fremdenhaß

In ihrer Seele leichenblaß 
Macht sie das Erbe wieder groß

Das Mordvermächtnis legt jetzt los:

Sie dürfen wieder kotzen
Frauen beschimpfen, begrapschen, anglotzen
Juden Kipas niederreißen
Auf PoC ihre Notdurft scheißen
Obdachlose nachts anzünden
Den Holocaust als Lüge erfinden

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Die Sprache ist verdünnt
Zielt auf den niedersten Instinkt
Gibt vor "Das Volk" zu sein
Dringt in den Rachewinkel bitt‘rer Seelen ein

Schürt Neid auf jene, die da oben stehen
Und jene, denen es angeblich besser geht
Bis eine Legimitation für Sie entsteht:

Zu treten, zu schlagen, zu foltern, zu hetzen
Die Waffen gegen die vermeintliche Invasion zu wetzen
An den Pranger zu stellen 
Die nationale Hühnerbrust zu schwellen
Den zum Ungeziefer Erklärten fiese Fallen zu stellen
Den Verrat zu veredeln
Die Abweichler tot zu knebeln 
Sich mit dem Schwanz des Machtdämons Überlegenheit zuzuwedeln

Nie wieder!
Macht das Braunlicht aus
Nie wieder!
Ein Leichenberge-Haus 
Nie wieder!
Massenmord als Plan
Die Banalität des Bösen kriecht schleichend heran
Nie wieder!
Nie wieder!

Nie wieder! - Never again!

Nie Wieder! - Never Again! (Lyrics in English in the Intro)

One year later - 
dedicated to my father.

I had enjoyed hearing some of the great reverb used by
one of our excellent SoundCloud composers, 
Ricardo Da Silva:  https://soundcloud.com/hobbits-odyssey
he advised me on the Spaces 2 reverb from EastWest.

So, I took it for a test ride on this composition.

I started off with what I thought was an original idea,
but it occurred to me how much it kept feeling 
like it could be built on top of Vangelis's score, Alpha.

So, I decided to wander off into an homage of a scant segment of Alpha.

As I was finishing it off, the final chords sounded a lot like
Bach's Toccata in D minor,
...so what the heck...
Since the instrument I had built for this song 
sounded almost good enough to substitute for a baroque organ, 
I just went with it.

Maybe a dash of Ave Maria in a slightly different light, as well.

Preparing For Winter_Late Autumn Forest

SHE PUTS THE BAG IN THE BOX 
AND A RIBBON AROUND IT
MAYBE A PAIR OF SOCKS 
AND LOCKS THE WHOLE IN THE CLOSET

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE AIR
LIKE A PRELUDE TO A KISS
PEOPLE EVERYWHERE
BUT ONLY ONE JENNY LEWIS

TE SOUVIENS-TU MICHELLE
DES LONGUES NUITS DE LONDRES
ET DE CE JOUR À NOTTING HILL
OÙ ON S’EST FAIT LA BOMBE

YOU WERE A FRESH CUT PEONIE
A BIRD OF PARADISE
IT TASTED JUST LIKE HONEY
AND GIN WAS POURING DOWN FROM THE SKIES 

IL PARAIT QUE TU CHERCHES UN HOMME
TOUT COMME EARTHA KITT
COULD IT BE ANY FEVER DOG
OR ANY GOD ANTIQUE  

N’EFFACE PAS LES BAISERS 
DON’T DELETE THE KISSES
SOUVIENS TOI LES DÉLICES
OF THE VARIOUS OTTOLENGHI

VOLARE VOLARE OH OH OH

SHE PUTS THE BAG IN THE BOX 
AND A RIBBON AROUND IT
MAYBE A PAIR OF SOCKS 
AND STICKS THE WHOLE IN HER POCKET

ET ELLE SUIT LES RIVIÈRES
QUELQUE PEU BORDERLINE
ALLUME LA LUMIÈRE
LIKE ANY CALIFORNIA LIGHT

THE WAY THE STORY GOES
IT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE
TO TRY AND FEEL THE FLOWS 
INSIDE AN ARTICHOKE 

MAIS DANS LES PARFUMS SUBLIMES 
DE CHAQUE BOUTIQUE ÉSOPE
MICHELLE IF YOU’RE A DREAM
WHO WANTS TO WAKE UP
I DON’T 


I WON’T FORGET THE WAY
YOU KISSED THE TEACHER
I WON’T FORGET THE DAY
I MET YOU EITHER

SHE PUTS THE BAG IN THE BOX 
AND A RIBBON AROUND IT
MAYBE A PAIR OF SOCKS 
AND LOCKS THE WHOLE IN THE CLOSET

HAVE A VARSOS MICHELLE
TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR PLEASURE 
AND SEND IT TO ME
COS MAN AS YOU KNOW IS THE ULTIMATE BEAST
AND LIFE AS YOU KNOW IS A MOVEABLE FEAST
WHICH MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO TRANSLATE
THE VERY SPECIAL TASTE OF EUTHYMOL TOOTHPASTE

BAGS BOXES AND RIBBONS (Lyrics) song for Michelle

Another bizarro trot around the paddock with the inimitable The Phaige and Dairv W, my astral Neighbours. Gary sent over his backing before Santa loaded up the sleigh and D and I worked independently at first then bounced some ideas around. Gary meanwhile worked his magic with layer upon layer of synth and some really cool bass. D soars and flies magnificently. 
A real pleasure to work with these gents..great talent and always high quality. Modern, proggy music that I hope you enjoy
