Vegan Abortion  vs.  Craig Winstanley

A year trapped on plague island (2020 tracks)

The Roughest Sound Around

People, Hell & Angels

Inside Out

a continuation of https://soundcloud.com/craig-winstanley-1/ambient-3-taming-chaos
but with added ranting:

Sifting through the wreckage of the aftermath
For the truth diluted out by the homeopath
What a laugh

The jokers play the ancient game of shifting the blame
It’s always the same when there’s chaos to tame
What a shame

The misinformation superhighway
And antisocial media
Make it hard to avoid
Ranting into the void

People might call me a misanthrope
I hate them for that
I hate all of them for that, all of them
I hate all them for that

Chaos (Ranting Into The Void)

Understand (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ1ADA7lNy8)

In the land where they bury their heads in the sand, understand
In a place where you can’t look a man in the face, understand
In a time when compassion is viewed as a crime, understand
In the mind of the sociopatholog kind, understand

Where you can’t abstain from causing pain, understand
It wasn’t planned

The climate of change is unerringly strange, understand
It wasn’t planned

(an instrumental version of this track has been posted before, as "Stationary Phase")

Understand

Let's walk, walk hand in hand
Through time, Through sand
 
Let's talk, talk smile and sing
Through space, Through heat
 
Let's laugh, laugh run and jump
Through light, Through love
 
Let's hope, hope feel and weep
Through us, Thorough peace.
 
At the end of the tunnel
I dream, I dream
At the end of the tunnel
I dream, We dream
  
(repeat verses)

At the end of the tunnel
I dance, We dance
At the end of the tunnel
We dance, We dance

A C÷M collaboration: @cdividebym
Music : Craig Winstanley

an instrumental version was released into the big wide world some time ago:

At The End Of The Tunnel (C÷M)

I describe my Vegan Abortion​ tracks as Gothic Funk​  Fusion because that's what it is, Funky Gothic Rock with a Post Industrial Punk feel to them!

If you listen and leave feedback I will do the same feedback. 

It's listens and feedback that bring more listeners to our pages, which is one reason why we all need it!

OUTSIDE THE BOX THAT'S OUTSIDE THE BOXES

do not open the box ... that is just what the cat wants you to do ...

Anti Monk ?

Proggish repetitions in roughly three parts.

Percussive discursive patternity of the third kind.

From Fear To Patternity (v1)

From circus and bread to Facebook instead.

Inside The Bubble

perfectly timed for when nobody can go out, a dance track for you delectation, with accompanying rant

thunderous sax courtesy of Jonathan Ogara (https://soundcloud.com/allopenelectrics)

They won’t be voting for the cause 
You’ll have to settle for applause
A charity sing-song day
Is your substitute for pay
The biggest thank-you yet
Is worth more than a safety net
They won’t be voting for the cause
You’ll have to settle for applause

They can grandstand and preen
Be robust as they please
But bravado won’t protect them
From this insolent disease

They measure worth and quality 
By the size of your salary
Behind the claps and bonhomie
Lie contempt and hypocrisy
As they smile and they pledge
Your left to wriggle on a knife’s edge
And as they lie and they blunder
Hold on tight to your silent thunder

Silent Thunder (this insolent disease)

So Far:

A gentle soft heart
Hidden in her hills
Her life deep lived
Lost in her dreams

She would sing long songs
She would tell those tales
She would right those wrongs
And dance through dales

She finds the sun, she finds the sun

Wherever she is, she will find the sun
Wherever she is, she will find the sun
We were so near, we were so far
We were this close, we were this clear

She would walk on hot coals
And take the holy ghost
She could breathe through souls
And fix buttonholes

And She would ask us
“where is love?”
And our eyes would dance
And our hearts would run

She finds the sun, she finds the sun

Wherever she is, we find the sun
Wherever she is, we find the sun
We were so near, we were so far
We were this close, we were this clear

So Far (a C÷M track)

Shivers down the spine 
The spine of the book
The book of the film
The film of the day
Day or night-time
Time to shine
Shine the light
Light the scene

Scene-set the place 
Place the order
Order the treat
Treat the cause
Cause the ruin
Ruin the play
Play the song
Sing the fear
Fear and isolation
Isolate the source
Source the space
Fear and isolation
Fear and isolation

Isolation

This song came to me all at once The Lyrics / Music everything. I had to get out of bed to capture the idea for a morning session.
LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

You wake, with senses opaque, to the fuse of your muse, confused by the shape of things that have gone, departed, confined, but with saccharine grief left behind, and the certainty that you find in the memory banks of the past, you contrast with the doubts and the fear of what horrors are yet to appear, but the now and the here is a shape that you cannot control, and it shifts and it squirms as you grasp to try and make sense of the present tense

And it takes all your nerve to flatten the area under the curve
And it takes all your nerve to flatten the area under the curve

The Curve

A combination of bemused rantings into the disinterested void & ambient doodling. Visit https://craigwinstanley.online I would like to create dark impenetrable experimental music, but I'm too fond of melody...
