Getting to appreciate these roots/traditional renditions, simple but heartfelt...

A Sunday morning blast of you is just the thing.

Dropped by for another listen...always such a treat to hear your work, Chris.  Love this.

Fire Burning

Fire Burning #MySongIsYourSong

Word for Word

Hey you and that guy you glow in neon light 
You and him up town are wrapped up by eyes
But that’s not a language I read
I’m a petri dish that’s growing need
If only he would be swallowed up by the night

And I know what you’re going to say word for word
I been talking up into the sky and no one heard
I’m wanting you and I’m lighting a fire
But the smoke it seems is hurting your eyes
Yeah I know what you’re gonna say word for word

You got most of the answers to all of my poking
There’s a wall of cliches you use to tip up my hoping
And couldn’t just once you smile
Just a twinkle in austere eyes
I know I’m drowning in what I’s once only soaking

And I know what you’re going to say word for word
I been talking up into the sky and no one heard
I’m wanting you and I’m lighting a fire
But the smoke it seems is hurting your eyes
Yeah I know what you’re gonna say word for word

You said it with passive face – Your life is in such a good place

I know what you’re going to say word for word
I know what you’re going to say word for word
I’m wanting you and I’m lighting a fire
But the smoke it seems is hurting your eyes
Yeah I know what you’re gonna say word for word
I been talking up into the sky and no one heard
I’m wanting you and I’m lighting a fire
But the smoke it seems is hurting your eyes
Yeah I know what you’re gonna say word for word

This song came to me at four o'clock in the morning.

#New #Original #Song #MerryGoRound

[Verse 1]
Before closing, ramen shop 
Hop into with a wet body
Snot and holding chopsticks
Line of sight like an electric shock

Like an abandoned little cat
Like a dog welcoming you
Seeking something warm, even though not frozen
We have mysterious lonely eyes

[Chorus]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

[Verse 2]
Before closing, beef bowl shop
Out of breath and jump in
Drink water while wiping sweat
Line of sight like dazzling illusion

You have him maybe so nice guy
I had a girlfriend, can't forget yet
But, why now here, we are, really don't get it
We have mysterious lonely dejab

[Chorus]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

[Bridge]
Like an abandoned little cat
Like a dog welcoming you
Seeking something warm, even though not frozen
We have mysterious lonely eyes

[Outro]
Men and women are merry-go-round
Turn around and keep running
Turn around, float and sink
Keep looking for love and happiness

Whether the moon is missing or the sky is torn
Merry-go-round does not stop
Sprinkle around beating dreams
Merry-go-round
Honey levitating

LYRICS ARE.
THERE,S AN ORCHESTRA THAT PLAYS INSIDE MY HEART.
TRYING TO MELT A LONELY HEART OF STONE.
THE GOLDEN TUNES THEY PLAY ME,
IVE HEARD A TIME OR TWO.
HAS I HOLD THE HANKERCHEF,
WHERE YOU TEARS ONCE FLOWED.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF YOU. ARE LOCKED INSIDE.
IN THE STAINS WHERE TEARS LAYED ITHOSE TEARS
ONCE DRIED, SOME BITTER MEMORIES
ARE BETTR LEFT BEHIND
HAS YOUR ORCHSTRA PLAYS ONCE MORE IN MY HEART.

ALL THE TIMES I HAVE MISSED YOU LAYING BY MY SIDE
WHEN THE NIGHTS ARE DRAWING AND GETTING COLD
WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE LOVES
WE ONCE SHARED
YOUR ORCHESTRA,
STARTS PLAYING IN MY HEART.

JUST TRYING TO MELT A LONELY HEART OF STONE
THE GOLDEN TUNES THEY PLAY ME,

THOSE BITTER SWEET MEMORIES ARE LOCKED INSIDE
ILL ADMIT SOMETIMES AT NIGHT IVE CRIED ALONE
HAS YOUR OCHESTRA IT START TO MELT
MY LONE HEART OF STONE

HAS YOUR ORCHESTRA IT START TO MELT
MY LONELY HEART OF STONE.

PURPLE HAZE

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no
Hammerin'
Talkin' 'bout heart 'n' s-soul
I'm talkin' about hard stuff
If everybody's still around, fluff and ease, if
So far out my mind
Something's happening, something's happening
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, yeah!
Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
Ooh
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze, yeah
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Tell me, baby, tell me
I can't go on like this
You're makin' me blow my mind, mama
N-no, nooo
No, it's painful, baby

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
