you must have heard some Ozric Tentacles along the way...this has so much of that vibe; fantastic vibrato on the guitar and those leads are just soaring -- I really dig that style

Funking awesome! Digging the grooves and sandstorm of progressive guitaring! Even has a break to catch up on train of thoughts and then rides you full speed again! Much enjoyed Dave! <3

Awesome piece of music I'll be back - this just started playing on its own.

How did I miss this at the time. This is a killer piece and such an epic arrangement. Just my cuppa. Such a skilful handling makes this so engaging and successful. Beautiful themes and majestic moods. Thanks for sharing Dairv

Oh yea Dave - your bass here reminds me of Chris Squire

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

Paroles

Tu me tiens la main pour que je lève le pied.
Tu m'oblige à te regarder.
Au fond de cette chambre 
s'empilent nos souvenirs.
Des plus noirs aux plus clairs 
Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.

Tous ces mots que tu glisses 
Sont paroles d'évangile 
Tous ces gestes anonymes 
Se perdent sur le récif 
Une barrière de corail 
Me coupe telle la limaille 

Ma peau fragile 
Ma peau fragile 

Instant fragile 
Instant fragile 

Entre nous c'est Vegas 
Les palaces et l'ennui 
Dans un cercle de feu
Je veux voir ton ombre 
Au milieu des braises 
Je veux que tu me 
Au milieu des braises 
Je veux que tu me 
Brise les yeux 

Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.


Des soupçons des remords 
Et des vagues de questions
Des glaçons dans la bouche 
Des réponses à la louche 
Des questions des questions 
Et de vagues réponses 
J'ai le choix de me taire 
T'as le temps de mentir 
Instant fragile 
Instant fragile 


Tu me tiens la main pour que je lève le pied.
Tu m'oblige à te regarder.
Au fond de cette chambre 
s'empilent nos souvenirs.
Des plus noirs aux plus clairs 
Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.

Misanthrope

Instant fragile

Instant Fragile

Silent Nemesis In The Mirror

Recuerdos

Frozen

A tale from the present and from the past, a conversation between a man and his father, across distance and time. A connection, a long-ago promise made, perhaps forgotten, finally kept.

Song Finn & Phil

Hey Dad

Windy Night (All At Home)

Blueprint for track that became 'Sandycove Milk'.

Inspired by wondrous music by Conin, whose track 'Kitty's Wake' reminded of the rich clay of Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake'. This track, about the opening pages of Joyce's Ulysses, borrows coffee spoons, forever those of T.S. Eliot, in an effort to add sweet milk...drawn from the milk-well of honeyed Sandycove.  The lyric speaker is, notionally, Stephen Daedalus. For practical purposes, the lyric speaker is James Joyce himself. His aim? To hit Haines for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency] before heading to France on a ferry. Whilst Haines still feels guilty (sheepish) about having fired his pistol at an imaginary cat he thought he saw in the fireplace in the Martello tower in Sandycove (now the Joyce Museum....a sacred...magical place, whose attendant Joyce scholars told me about the Haines' imaginary cat episode....it is all true...yet also dovetails eerily with the first chapter of Ulysses).

The reference to Haines having consumed Absinthe is a narrative fiction, invented to offer an explanation for his dangerous behaviour. No peer reviewed evidence capable of demonstrating Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, exists, to my knowledge.


Lyrics

[chorus]
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar

Hellenise me now
She come and go
talking bout Michelangelo
there will be time
there will be time

do I dare to eat a quiche?
I shall wear enchanted trousers
and float upon the beach

I’m still dreamin
something happened last night

Haines downed a snot-green bottle of Absinthe
started shooting at his Schrödinger's cat
in the fireplace
looks real sheepish this morning
gonna hit him for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency]
and get outta here
gliding on the Emerald sea
to Paris
with Haines’ guinea in my pocket
when I’m at sea

gonna go uptown now
hitting the top deck of this here Martello
gonna watch the mailboat
glide on an Emerald sea
gonna rest my shiny elbows
on the jagged granite
just leavin the harbour

and here comes stately Buck
bearing a bowl of lather
crossed razor and mirror as well
holding the bowl aloft
and intoning...intonin

Introibo ad altare Dei
sacred chalice
sacred cross
and now I’m lookin at the sea
Thallata...sweet mother
Hellenise me
mailboat clearin the harbour
rage of Caliban inside me
cos of Haines....[firing a gun inside the Martello tower when drunk the night before, at a giant cat he imagined was sitting near the fireplace]
sweet Thallata
buttercups on the quilt
powdered musk and gauds of amber beads
calm now like the sea
there will be time
there will be time

Martello

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…
