Really nice song. I like very much your soft vocals with pleasant sound!

Nice build, love the intro. Some parts remind of the Beatles. Great lyrics.

Chunky acoustic strumming. Really enjoy the harmonies

Yes - catchy tune christopher - and good story...

Of course I’ll come to your shindig, but only if you’re going to be there too.  I wrote this in 1998 after I’d been to a lot of weddings.  Listen with headphones.


Invitation


I’ve got an invitation,
I’m going to a garden party,
On a Saturday in June,
I’m rubbing shoulders with
The rich and famous glitterati,
I must present myself at noon,
And I’ll try hard not to stare
At the Queen, who may be there
Seated in a golden chair.

I’ve got an invitation,
Now I’m going to a wedding,
See the bride walk up the aisle
On her father’s arm and meanwhile
Mother’s eyes are shedding
Tears that trickle down despite her smile,
But the best man forgot the ring
And the choir couldn’t really sing,
And the vicar’s known to advocate sin.

Let me know if you are going to be there,
Oh I need to know,
So repondez s’il vous plait!

I’ve got an invitation,
Request the pleasure of my being,
At the Onion Peelers Ball
A well known annual event,
To be held on Friday evening,
At the old Oddfellow’s Hall,
A tradition of fifty years,
All the Peelers come from far and near,
But it always ends in tears.

Let me know if you are going to be there,
Oh I need to know,
So make that date sill vooz plate!

I’ve got an invitation,
And the chance of your acquaintance,
But I know I’ll have to wait in anticipation
‘Though I’m trying to learn patience,
I fear I’ve left it too late,
There’s nothing more for me to do,
As it all depends on you,
And if you’re invited too,
No there’s nothing else for me to do,
But comb my hair and shine my shoes 
And hope that you’re invited too.

Invitation

Hi guys, when I made this song I had no idea where the journey would take me. But I just wanted to try something crazy. When the song was done, I didn't know what to think of the song, but somehow the song puts me in a good mood. And since I couldn't find a song title, I just called the song "I don't know". Have a good time listening and thanks.......... Martin

No Where  Than Somewhere (Acoustic)

[Headphones recommended]

The babbling noise of Wyming Brook as you climb the kilometre 'footpath' is incessant throughout the year. Slippery and muddy in winter the walk can be tricky (especially for arthritic knee sufferers!). In summer the joys of the ascent can soothe the mind as the only the sound of rushing water can.
6 tracks of improvising oboe.
2 tracks of improvising tenor saxophone.
Additional synth, clarinet, bass loops and beats.

Wyming Brook Ascent

Becoming

This is a hybrid of English and Japanese. The cat lover in this story sings in Japanese. The stray cat sings in English. Why? I don' know.

*******************************
突然の猫だった
まるで前から仕組まれてた
運命の玉手箱のように
出会いの瞬間跳び上がった
(a cat out of nowhere.
as if been set up before.
Like a ball of fate.
I jumped at the moment of our encounter.)

あいつは疑い深く
なかなか話が出来なくて
見つめ合うこともなしに
離れてしまうかと思った
(He was suspicious.
It was hard to talk to him.
We didn't even look at each other
I thought we'd drift apart)


ほんの少しの
ほんの少しの仕草で
あいつはすりすり
ペロペロが止まらないよ
(Just a little
Just a little gesture by the man
He can't stop rubbing me
He can't stop licking me)

I’m so proud to be a stray cat 
I don’t want no silly chitchat 
I can get my own food by hunt 
Don’t you shout to me loud in front 

Suddenly I found it out that 
You just have the right smell for the cat
Go ahead, Keep rubbing my neck
And I’ll fall in love in a sec

ほんの少しの
ほんの少しの仕草で
あいつはすりすり
ペロペロが止まらないよ
(Just a little
Just a little gesture by the man
He can't stop rubbing me
He can't stop licking me)

窓にもたれて
さまよう時
(Leaning against the window
And I wander)

I’m not what I look like 
My inner self is the opposite of
What it appears to be 
It’s always upside down 

構って甘えてじっと見つめて
頭突きして
一緒に眠って尻尾を立てて
喉を鳴らして
(Cater to me, pamper me, stare at me.
Head-butt me.
Sleep with me. Tail up.
Throat me.)

Upside down 
Upside down 
It’s always always all the time 
It’s all upside down

This is a track Mouse and I did a while back and kinda shelved.   I had asked STONERJAZZ to see if he could do anything with it and he totally surprised and delighted me with what he came up with.  

Here's a link to the original track Mouse and I did

Shrooms - with STONERJAZZ & One Blind Mouse

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
