Einstein determined that time is relative and that the rate at which it passes depends on your frame of reference.  Now I’m not saying that I’m much of a scholar of his work but what I do know is that when the Covid pandemic was at it’s height and we were all confined to our homes, many of those that I spoke to didn’t even know where in the week we were, let alone the time of day, so yer man Einstein probably had a point.

This song was written long before the pandemic surfaced and came during telephone and email conversations I had with my two fellow Cripple Club garage band members, Gary and Hans . For example, I was chatting to Gal one day when he said “You know, I just can’t get the hang of time, these days.  Weeks seem to just merge into each other”. 

On the very same day, Hans sent me an email in which he stated "I’m really struggling to get the hang of time at the moment…” As someone who spends much of his time at home anyway, the two ‘hang of time’ statements did resonate with me and therefore carried an intriguing synchronicity.  I’m not someone who thinks these things have any mystical significance but the fact that they had both used precisely the same expression on the same day certainly placed the idea for this song in my mind.

Thanks again to Hans for taking the concept and formulating it so brilliantly into his arrangement for the song.  And many thanks to you for listening.

I just can’t get the hang of time
Tomorrow seemed a million miles behind
And yet a date turns up in front of mind
What more to remember or try to find

I just can’t get the hang of time

Another month goes by without a breath
Although breathing in moves me to the left
Time to the right can cause calendar theft
Pitching very low sounds to a musical clef

I just can’t get the hang of time

No shaking up time without showing my age
As click track continues keep missing the page
Never losing my temper but cheating a rage
There is never a tempo that keeps sounds in a cage

I just can’t get the hang of time (Repeat)

BREAK

Qualified people pointing a direction to live
Not one understands why I’m mentally captive
Each box with a tick but the time doesn’t give
My Individual need making all words so inactive

I just can’t get the hang of time

A window reflection shows a man with a beard 
Tuesday or Wednesday? All days disappeared
I just can’t get the hang of time
It wasn’t meant to be an ageing skill of mine.

I just can’t get the hang of time

THE HANG OF TIME - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive.


So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I don't need your church or creed
To get me by
I don't need no alcohol or pills
To get me high

I don't need to fight with you
I don't need a gun
I'm doing what I was born to do
I'm having fun

I'm high on life

I don't need negativity
Don't drag me down
I'm the king of my own life
Don't steal my crown

Eyes wide open,high on life
That's when I thrive
It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive

So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I'm high on life

Here is our version of the wonderful Chris Rea song "Joséphine".

Release date: June 26, 2023


Josephine: 
 There's rain on my window, but I'm thinking of you
 Tears on my pillow, but I will come through  
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  and every single step I take, I'll take for you  
Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love  .

Now there's a storm on my radar, but I can still fly  
 But you are the reason for the blue in my sky   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  and every single step I take, 
I'll take for you
My Josephine, I'll send you all my love,   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love

 Josephine, I'll send you all my love,  
and every single step I take, I'll take for you
My Josephine, I'll send you all my love,   
 Josephine, I'll send you all my love
 When I'm far away, oh so far away, I'll send you all my love  
 Joseph-ine, I'll send you all my love,               
 Joseph-ine, I'll send you all my love ...

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care.

Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

Lyrics
Time to test time
Flow in rhyme
Exo makes jail for mind matter mine
Intuitive thought
Instinctual
No messy thoughts
Divine deliverance
Placebo proof
Chooses truths
No lies emerge when this mode is heard
Thoughts are herd, interferance
The muted one won't see that reverence
Ever present of presence
At one with the mammoth
Still alive as mutated carrot

See, I am everything
So flow chooses to bring
Standing waves for sin
Handing haze the bin
The rubbish of man
No fake thinking
It's Spirit
It's Soul
It's need for good role
It's time that we saw new pathway,
New God
It's me
It's you
It's hill of trees
Truth

We see
We do
It's for new youth
It's retention
Ascension towards my younger proof
It's real want to mute the spoof
Ryhme to test ryhme
Flow divine
We are the whole Earth
It's finally lassooed from both sides
Simultaneous prize
Just by beings alive

~Soothe~

Cometh conduit
Let's dive
Earth's cored connection is live,
Thrive holding hive,
Now is live to survive,
Drive new alive

~Soothe~


Update: Song... I'm sorry to say your owner is a day late with the pressies... However they have more then made up for it by mastering you again like a master of you they are... Schweeeeet

Happy Birthday dear Song,
Happy Birthday dear Song
Happy Birthday dear Exo
Happy Birthday to You


Well done Sarah... If you tell me when your birthday is privately I can wish you a happy birthday then... But this is to pay homage to your song itself as an entity that has left you as an artist and is doing its bidding (fair play it's a cracker)... 

Dear song, I made you a salad of words and sang them as best as I could today so munch away on that love filled green and rest assured these words only intend to say thanks for what you gave us and what you will continue to give us in the future. Happiness :-) Very poetically we have a nice coincidence in the source of the words. Your creator and myself were discussing creativity and I decided to time myself like the young lad I try and be and see if I could explain it better to myself and your creator haha... After writing the words in 12 minutes listening to you, good song... I realised it was your birthday. How powerful is that! We then took an additional 48 minutes to deliver the present by email to your creator at 11:11am today.

You empowered my day dear song... Thanks again and have a wonderul life longer then mine and every other muppet on planet Earth 

Thanks Music

You’re looking out for me
I’m looking out for you
Do we know what we should do

Down the tunnel
We both fall – Can we hear each other’s call
Can we hear, can we hear, can we hear each other’s call?

Chorus

Here we sit among the thorns
Surrounded by those that mourns
No one knows how the stories go
The tales of old, tales of yore

What is that I thought you said?
I thought I heard you in my head
Maybe I can’t hear at all 
Can we hear each other’s call?
Can we hear, can we hear, can we hear each other’s call?

Chorus

Down the tunnel
We both fall
Down the tunnel
We both fall
Down the tunnel
We both fall

Can we hear each other’s call
Can we hear, can we hear, can we hear each other’s call?

Chorus

Down the Tunnel (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

So This Is Spring

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

Faces that smile
New Wave and new style
Look at the colors
Listen to the sound
Daffodills and Bluebells
Are covering the ground

So this is Spring
You can feel it within
Love keeps on giving
Birds whistle and sing
In the first day of Spring

So This Is Spring. Torbjørn Vagle and Oddrun Eikli
