Time Settles - Lyrics 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Crying In The Rain  (Cover of Everly Brothers)

海辺のシヌグ

Kate Stanton and I were discussing music and happened to connect over that weird vibe of being in betwixt and between. After she shared her video from a local dead mall in her town that is being demolished soon, she sent me a rough piano / synth and vocal draft. I added some synthesizers and beats to enhance the dark and haunting vibe. Welcome to the "Liminal Spaces", do you want to hang out with us in the ether?

Kate Stanton: composition, piano, vocals, lyrics

==== LYRICS ====

You’re my star 
In the sky 
My constant light
Oh, you shine so bright 
All the time

On the darkest night 
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding be back 
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out 
Luminous grace and hope 
Am I alive? 
Cause even a ghost girl has fears

You’re my beacon of hope
Message I heard as a girl
Constant. Steady. Strong.

On the darkest night
I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stays
Holding me down 
In these liminal spaces

This year nearly broke me 
Roaming the halls
Every character flaw on display
Every weakness, every break
What do I do now with these bones?

On the darkest night I see you the most 
And I feel connected
Carbon-made, gravity stay
Holding me back
In these liminal spaces

Glowing from the inside out
A luminous grace and hope.
I am alive
Even a ghost girl has fears.

Liminal Spaces

Hey Guys! Check out our new song!
It's great to be recording again!
OK, Heartbeat is well, I hope it points to Jesus so I don't want to give too much of it away because they say the song should do the talking. Its got such a groove though  I know you all will love! Leave a comment if its up your alley! 
Love you guys!

Verse
Looking out across the great divide
There's  your face oh so far away
Who can help you?
Who can show you how?
Is it too late? 
Can you crawl crawl crawl out?
Chorus
Still in the the night look around
Hearing the sound a heart beating
Vs 2
Feel the life as you breath in and out
What a blessing from above
No more hiding
There's a choice to make
Father I commit my spirit into Your hands
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Christ  appeared before my eyes
Waking from a horrid dream in the still,
Still of the night I looked around
Hearing the sound my heart beating
I gave my life,  gave my life
Still of the night 
In the still of the night⁹

Heart Beat

Heartbeat

Taking only about 30 min to write this seemed a bit of a throw away but had 'live' potential and so it proved. Looking back through life there's moments you would change if you could . . . 

See Yourself as Yourself

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Thinking ‘bout her, flood the mind 
And hormone’s, long slow torture
Shock of her face, hair in a state 
Can I just go, walk with her

No no no – verboten – society thick in the air – claustrophobia

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Seeing that, ‘out for myself’ thing 
Yeah, that gotta go, grab that pleasure 
Could’ve done that man, some real good 
But instead, closed up shop early
       
Grim effort – rode a wave – he’ll be back tomorrow – ok!

Get back look back, look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Yeah yeah yeah. Wo ho a couple of memories
There’s so many more
Yeah yeah yeah, so many more, try to bury them yeah

SEE YOURSELF AS YOURSELF

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

They always say it's better
To have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
That's what they say.

You miss every shot
You never take
Never shake it off
If you're too scared to fake it
(you'll never make it)

And if you get knocked down,
just get back up again.
Aren't you the only thing that can keep you down?
That's what they say, 
That's what they say,
That's what they always say.

But it's not what they say.
It's the things that you do.
You reach out your hand.
You don't look away.
And the look in your eyes
Is all that you say,
Whatever they say.

I thought I saw my shot.
Didn't hesitate to take.
But you read me like a book.
My shot became your break.
And everyone I risked for
Had ever right to be pissed
At me for giving up
The wrong kind of assist.

That knocked me down.
Well, just get up again!
Aren't you the only thing
that can keep you down?
That's what they say
That's what they say
That's what they always say.
But it's not what they say.
It's the things that you do.

You reach out your hand.
You don't look away.
And the look in your eyes
Is all that you say,
Whatever they say.

I thought I saw my shot.
Didn't hesitate to take.
My words all tumbled out
About the life that we could make.
And I know that you said words.
I'm sure that they were wise.
But all that I could hear
Was the pity in your eyes.

That knocked me down.
Well, just get up again!
Aren't you the only thing
that can keep you down?
That's what they say
That's what they say
That's what they always say.
But it's not what they say.
It's the things that you do.

You reach out your hand.
You don't look away.
And the look in your eyes
Is all that you say,
Whatever they say.
Whatever they say.
Whatever they say.
Whatever they say.
Whatever they say.
Whatever they say.

Whatever they say

Whatever They Say

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - legendary bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

Tchad Blake, the renowned audio engineer for Tom Waits and Paul McCartney, echoed Thompson's sentiment, declaring, "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Conil's music reached great heights when Fleetwood Mac blues icon Peter Green paid a visit to his studio, driven by his admiration for Conil's music. The collaboration between the two resulted in a mesmerizing, mellow version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats, "Round Midnight."

As Strange Part of the Country continues to resonate with listeners around the world, it is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance and becoming an all-time favorite. 

Upon its release in the UK, Strange Part of the Country made some waves. Q magazine, the country's best-selling music monthly, recognized its exceptional quality with a prestigious "Four stars - Q Recommends" rating, while Blues Matters magazine celebrated Conil as "one of the most original artists out there," giving him the front cover feature.

Born in England, Conil's musical roots extend to England, Ireland, and France, but his deep affection lies with the sounds of American music.

Following the release of Strange Part of the Country, he embarked on a transformative journey, spending the past decade residing in various cities across the United States and Europe, including New York City, New Orleans, Chicago, Athens, and Berlin.

Conil is currently immersed in making a second album, a project that reunites him with the incomparable talents of Danny Thompson and Tchad Blake, as well as several other world class musicians.
