C r u t c h e s  &  C r o w s 

Crows.........................
they laugh at my Crutch
they say far to much
with me down in the streets
the Crows they make all the cash
they spend way to fast
and that can defeat
the Crows
they make all the money
they spend it so fast
and that thing won't last
the Crows 
they manage my future
and i just sit back
when they hang me to dry
i hang on my Crutch
i keep at my side

The Crows.........................

Lyrics: Poem by Paul Verlaine (1870).

La lune blanche
Luit dans les bois ;
De chaque branche
Part une voix
Sous la ramée...

Ô bien-aimée.

L'étang reflète,
Profond miroir,
La silhouette
Du saule noir
Où le vent pleure...

Rêvons, c'est l'heure.

Un vaste et tendre
Apaisement
Semble descendre
Du firmament
Que l'astre irise...

C'est l'heure exquise



translation to English:

The white moon
Shines in the woods ;
From each branch
springs a voice
beneath the arbor..

Oh my beloved.

Like a deep mirror
the pond reflects
the silhouette
of the black willow
where the wind weeps.

Let us dream! It is the hour...

A vast and tender calm
seems to descend
from a sky
made iridescent by the moon.

It is the exquisite hour!

Note from Alexis Roche to me when I ask him what this song meant and what that initial spark was good got them to write this beautiful song.

Re the song itself, it's a poem by Paul Verlaine from 1870 that evokes lovers(or maybe a man alone thinking of his missing beloved one)taking an evening walk under the moon. listening to the wind in the trees, watching a black willow reflected in the pond... it's basically about appeasement, dreams and, of course, love. This poem always makes me think about "Dream a little dream of me".
 After reading it for the first time, about 25 years ago (I was 17), I took my guitar, put those two chords, and found that melody straight away... I always thought it was over-simplistic, hence never played it with anyone, but for some reason it got stuck in my head and has been haunting me ever since. I eventually decided to record it one year ago, possibly in an attempt to let it go away... 
but thanks to the incredible feedback I got from soundclouders, things have not quite happened this way!

I will need therapy too :)

This Track came about after being so inspired by that beautiful song.

L'heure Exquise  (Roche/Conover)

Sink Into Oblivion

Another try 
would be nice 
Another path to walk 
so I could think twice
 I'd have a room 
with a lamp
 and an envelope
 in need of a stamp
 I could fall  into the sunset 
or sink into Oblivion
 I could burn all my bridges
 and sink into Oblivion.

This Train.....

Are the clouds out tonight
Are they really so fluffy and white
And the stars in the sky 
Can you really depend on their light

Cause all these things
I need to know
These are the ingredients
we need to grow

Maybe there’s a time to cry
And maybe there’s time to say

All aboard This Train
we don't know where we’re going
This Train
 it’s runnin off the tracks
This Train
 we can't see where were going

This Train……..

David Bowie Cover

Had to get the train 
from Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Djungle
On Nürnberger Straße
A man lost in time
Near KaDeVe
Just walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

Find one friend and proceed......

Divide and Conquer  collaboration by Conover/Anmafean

Divide and conquer
This is how it works.
Maintaining control
Over those little things that lurk.
Reducing their power
Encourage dissonance,
These tried and true principles
Will elegantly work

Clean your room  BC

Clean your room.
For once in your life. 

Take the rubbish out if you have time.
Then come running home to me.

Set me free 
For once in your life.
 give it a try.
I just can't tell you why
I just can't tell a lie.

Clean Your Room   "the rare version"  Conover/Cain

Tongues may wag
and you may drive across the continent.
Tongues may wag
The press arrives in case of incident
And she'll say nothing
And she'll say nothing
How do you do?
I can't even drive.... thinking of you
How do you do?
I can't even drive.... thinking of you

Drive on.......................................

Tongues May Wag

All I've got to do is count from 1 to 2 and say I love you,
now I've made the purchase now I’ve found the love that I can talk to.

I love you 122
I love you 122  

Remove the jumpers they have placed between her eyes
and count from 1 to 2
Then drink the serums that begin the bond
and count from 1 to 2

I love you 122
I love you 122

repeat and Love one another

I Love You One To Two........

She’s smack dab in the middle. 
She's in a very precarious place.  
This week she brought on thunder 
But somehow….. She's keeps a smile on her face 
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon
KellyAnne where is and what do you plan to do?   
With the time on your hands you'll be having so soon

I could fall back into those big brown eyes 
I could fall back into your arms
I could trust a woman with hands as soft as yours
I could hold on
I could hold on

I could be calling you from the phone booth just outside of town
I'm sure I'm the worst thing for you now
If you would take me back and let me go on living
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could hold on
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could......

Hang up the phone and follow your heart....

This could be you, this could be me
This just could be you and me sitting here
Nothing was wrong
It's just a little song about me and you
We braced against the wind
We brace against the Storm.....

Always lean into the Storm..

Everyone comes to time
Everytime comes to one or two
Little tiny special moments
intertwine the time I had with you.
Press your lips upon the window and walk into the falling rain. 
You separate the (((stereo field))) and fall back calmly into open space
between our eyes.

This is a test......
I contacted Jack about creating lyrics for his fine track as I had some sweet ideas pop up on first listen. When stems arrived I had forgotten the clever topic and melody bouncing in my head.......
This happens all the time... Note to self:  pick up one of those little recorders at RadioShack....
Anyway this is what came of a ham handed attenpt to redeem myself after Jack went to all the trouble to accomodate me.
It's raw and wounded but I am posting the outcome for a few hours. let us know if your up or down reviews cause it to remain..
Thanks for taking part in the TEST))))))))))Free Download 

Lyric Test:
I’d rather not show you my books upon religion.
And I’d probably not tell you the levers that I pull and I pull.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

I feel seduced and abandoned by those all around me.
I feel rejected and ridiculous inside my home.
I’m turning independent .
I change my stripes and spots.
I’m turning independent. 
And I like it a lot.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

Stand by.
To much information.
To much.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

When in doubt "Pull"

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
