===== Lyrics =====

Oh how I wish I was beautiful
Just enough to catch your eye
Oh is it sad to consider
In trading my time up there in heaven
Just to hold you

Oh I’m so sick in love for you
I’ll find my way into your soul

How can I prove myself trustworthy
Lure you in with no charm
In the end, I’ll find a way
Call in the sirens to play
Oh I’m hoping, for this time
To enchant you

It’s feeling so alone down here
I’m so tired of this cold throne

So tired, so tired
I’m sick, sick in love

So tired, so tired
I’m sick, sick in love

So tired (so sick in love)
so tired (so sick of love)
So tired of this love (from you)

So tired (so sick in love)
so tired (so sick of love)
So tired of this love

Hades

Hades (with Janelle & vonLieblos)

From the show "From Where? To Here". Recorded live at the Empty Space, Salford (Sept. 2021).  
Video: https://youtu.be/-Q-yzkIZ4mE 

Using an artificial intelligence system developed by Dr Anna Djambo (University of Leicester), recordings of neural network representations of our musical DNA are used to play a variety of sounds, accompanied by improvisations. Each performance will be unique.  Incorporates Whistling Warriors: Bravely fighting phantom wars, they haunt the modern mediascape.

Hark, the roar of the silenced boys
Filling the air with deafening noise
Hark, the cancelled women complain
Again and again and again and again

Random bores and media whores
Bravely fighting phantom wars
Bravely battling for billionaires
Brave generals in brave armchairs
Bravely signalling virtue-free
Peddling fantasy history
Bravely following the people’s clown
Saluting the flag hung upside down

Whistling warriors call their pack
Lighting gas for the snark attack
Money makes the merry-go-round
Sell fake England by the pound

This is a repost of earlier posting see: https://soundcloud.com/jorma-heikkil/woodcutters-reel-collaboration-band
I applied the mastering gizmo from soundcloud on the track to see how it changes things.

Enjoyed !

AtmO Feat.Dgé Breton

Last minute Christmas-ish song, written when I was supposed to be doing something else - but at least I have posted something this year now.

Many thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein for his extremely helpful feedback on an earlier mix of this track.

People hurry home
Against the cold
They crowd below
In metro stations

A small child stands transfixed
By Christmas lights
Despite the wind speed and
Direction

The eternal now
The eternal now

The circumpolar low
The wind blown snow
The coniferous tree
Exception

An accident prevented by
An angel on the
Roof tops
Intervention

The Eternal Now

Poison Pill

Based on a few lines written in a delerium

Dear Doctor, Thank you for the pills that counteract the pills,
that counteract those pills that make me want to vomit on your floor.
I don't even know  just exactly what all these pills are for.

Angelina, mistress of the pricks, I love your acupuncture and your oriental tricks,
I've been longing for you since my boat went down.
If you pay me in sugar I will be your clown.

Holy Mary, Mother of the Gods, I've broken all my promises, beaten all the odds,
But my hands are cold and my mind is numb.
You promised me the world but all I got was crumbs.

Dearest Rachel, I see that you've been blessed by the songs of love and longing,
by the beauty of your flesh, I hear a distant bell, I hear a funereal song,
That sweet and easy feeling that I used to have is gone.

I'm falling backwards, trying to reach the start of the long and lonely journey to the centre of my heart,
if I seem lost sometimes, give me another dose.
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere but I think I'm getting close.

Mona Lisa, diva in the clouds, there's a tear in every marriage, a fool in every crowd,
You were invisible when I tried to break through.
Now I got that sinking feeling that I'm invisible too.

Dearest Doctor, I've heard that it's been said that for sixty quid an hour you could rearrange my head,
but do you really think that you could ever heal
these wounds that I've been nursing or the thoughts that make them real.

My Dearest Doctor. Steve Killingbeck
