After the Hole - Lyrics

All I seen is what I thought I would have seen
At the end all I found were other ends

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

On the screech of the city brakes I heard your name
Feel as though we're living in a recurrent dream

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

And the life is after the hole

And the life is after the hole

Strange Part of the Country

Round Midnight - Lyrics 

Round midnight when the engine’s on
Lose my head from the rolling throng
Get my house out of the fire
Get my car out of the wreckage pile
Straight out of lullaby land 
Straight out of Birdland
Like waking up in the morning without my head in my hands

And I’m getting on
Well it’s been pretty long
And I woke up around midnight to see Charlie Parker fly in a saxophone
Well there's gold on the road

Round midnight getting, I'm just getting on with you

Charles Mingus
That’s so like Philly Joe Jones
Miles she likes your Miles Davis shit
Miles Davis shit 
Miles Davis shit 

Gone midnight and I'm just moving on 
With a couple of fellas with sticks and songs
Got my head into a St. Louis fire
Haven’t seen daylight for a couple of nights
Straight out of lullaby land
Straight out of Thelonious land
Like waking up without feeling like my head’s been up my ass

And I’m getting on
Well it’s been pretty long
And if I’m not home before midnight I'll be playing here with this whiskey and these songs
From somewhere out of the earth

Round midnight getting, I'm just getting on with you

Second cousin of the Dizzy man
And the nephew of the devil
A girl sent to me by the devil

I'm getting it on and I can’t do me wrong
Got jazz inside my vein now and the blues even comes out of my asshole
It's the door to my soul

Round midnight getting, I'm just getting on with you

Round Midnight

Woke Up Around Midnight

Strange Part of the Country - Lyrics

The night falls on Nong Bone town

Seventeen ladyboys and he are beating up small change Europeans
Someone gets drugged by three old ladies

This is a strange part of the country
This is a strange part of the world
This is a strange part of the country
And we are not welcome
We are not welcome

The night falls, I have no past

Twenty three hostess girls and me
The edge of the roads turn into decades rubbing against me

This is a strange part of the country
This is a strange part of the world
This is a strange part of the country
And we are not welcome

We are not well

This is a strange part of the country
This is a strange part of the world
This is a strange part of the country
But we are not welcome
We are not welcome

Old Irish Drunks - Lyrics

Well he left home one Sligo day and he kept on going until he came to a halt
And they heard nothing of their lost son since London had swallowed him up
Each night he drank himself to sleep in a town where he lived but did not belong
These streets were built by men who came from the earth then covered it up

They built these streets of Cricklewood
They built these streets of Kilburn
They built these streets of Cricklewood
And they built them good
Built them good

Living on the far edge he broke his toes in the High Road cold
His last days he told me how much he loved all he said he hated most

They built these streets of Cricklewood
They built these streets of Kilburn
They built these streets of Cricklewood
And they built them good
Built them good

And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain
And all the roads remain

Built them good
Built them good
Built them good
Built them good

Old Irish Drunks

Ein Song über verpasste Chancen und die Einsicht, dass sich manche Gelegenheiten nur einmal im Leben ergeben. "Eine Andermal" ist meiner verstorbenen Chorleiterin gewidmet.

Ein Andermal

Greyhound running all night
Moonlight shining in my eyes
Coffee in the windy city morning 
If we make it there alive

Wander through a doorway
It never really closes up again
If it's what you want 
There is nothing now to do about it then

High upon the rooftops
Birds they sing and climb towards the light
Some will mend their broken wings
And comfort those that never learn to fly

Out the window on the left
Miles and miles of tenements remain
In broken glass on motorways
The children run and play out in the rain

In the center of the circle surrounded by the stones
Built upon the bones of the ancient graves
We dance and we sing in the sun and in the rain
It's all the same... in the end our memory remains

Night falls cool and gentle upon the land tonight
The stars burn like streetlamps for all the tired eyes
The circle and the stones, we're all just skin and bones
It's all the same... in the end our memory remains

Stones

Another one from the archive; Played live in January 2018 by the Big Band Convention from Cologne, conducted by Stefan Pfeifer, and I had the honour to sit in. I play the tenor sax solo, piano solo is by Jerry Lu. I think the arrangement of this classic is by Gerald Wilson. Fabulous trumpets!

Tennessee Waltz

Chasm of emptiness

Clean Guitars

A warm and intimate folk pop ballad built on fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft male vocals, and subtle string textures.
“I Still Hear You” reflects on the lingering presence of someone who’s no longer there — not in loud words, but in the quiet spaces, in light, in silence.
It’s a song about memory, grief, and emotional stillness — wrapped in organic instrumentation and natural room reverb.

If you enjoy acoustic, singer-songwriter, indie folk, or soft rock with heartfelt lyrics and slow, introspective energy, this one’s for you.

Recorded in a minimalist setting with cello, harmonium, and mandolin, this track leans into emotional detail and quiet dynamics. Best heard on headphones — or late at night.

I Still Hear You

all of ROADS GOES EVER EVER ON song in one place.

ROADS GOES EVER EVER ON - Acoustic v2

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.
