Excellent song Dave, nice sound recording 👌

Reading the title I thought it was a nod or tribute to the band Fatal Shore (saw them live in Hungary about 20 years ago, one of my favourite gig memories). I was mischievous and deliberately listened to it on my entry level Adam Audio monitors. The mix isn't only good, to me it's spotless and I mean it. Deep, crisp, quite honestly makes me jelaous. It takes courage to make the vocals this prominent in the mix but your excellent vocal delivery totally justifies it. Wonderful song with touching lyric, one of my favourites from you.

Very nice song Dave, I love the arrangement.

Très belle song et parfaite réalisation. Superbe voix. Du beau travail. Grand bravo.

A beautiful yet haunting song.  Great composition, performance and track!

I want you to be free. <||>

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

method: all the sounds you hear, apart from the voice, stem from a piano that is more than moderately out of tune, most of them morphed by audacity and samplitude

am wunderstumpfen ende
einer zweispur-einbahnstraße
senkt sich eines planers wendeplatte
zwischen steile bordsteingrate
in deren runden schenkels wölbung
die allerletzte eiderente ein
einzelei ausbrütet - solch memento
prospektiver nostalgie lädt
karrussellgenau zum grübelkreisen
ein, zum rasend innehalten

Sonic Phil'O'Scherzo for Typewriters // a fictionalive Thee I's collab united

Scherzo for Typewriters is a piece by Thee I’s that stirred their hearts and minds—they felt it was calling out for a narrative voice. I was delighted to accept the challenge, as I felt the same while listening. By a stroke of luck, I already had a narration written and recorded back in July—originally for my ongoing Soundcloud collaboration with Garben, which has produced many tracks. Although that narration didn’t find its place in Garben’s music, it patiently waited for the right song. When Thee I’s reached out, it became clear: ‘Scherzo for Typewriters’ was the perfect match. Everything clicked—all in one late, late night, just hours after I received their DM. Love is in need today, so to say.

New Song here, finally.  A slower version than what I'd like.  Hope you enjoy it.

Words and Music Dave Rose
Headphones best.
I read a book a few years ago by Robert Hughes called Fatal Shore. It is thoroughly recommended, telling the stories of so many of the people who were simply transported to Australia for the most minor crimes carried out largely by people who were poor and starving. Australia today has become quite fantastic but the conditions back in the day must have been horrendous and terrifying for those people sent there.

Lyrics
Doesn't matter what my name is or any of these poor souls
Transported to Van Diemans land for stealing coal

Broke a rich man's law and there's Hell to pay
Transported to this fatal shore to serve our days

Conditions are horrendous the work is killing us
Never enough food, the guards are brutal and cruel

Broke a rich man's law and there's hell to pay
Transported to this fatal shore to serve our days

What became of my family, they'll never know what became of me
Will anyone tell my story?
What will be my legacy or my history?

Now as ghosts we look across this harbour from across the rocks
All these people all these buildings its changed so much
No more this fatal shore......This is Australia

A Single Start

Hello,
Here are some songs wot I wrote. Mostly recorded at home as a sort of one man band set up.
Sometimes other musicians play on the tunes too.

A little stroll on the mild side 🎧

"Dave was awarded 4th best tambourinist in his cul de sac whilst still only 37, he still plays tambourine today whilst his peers have abandoned tambourine. Think that speaks volumes to Dave's commitment to his music". (Big Hits Magazine}



I have a tendency to remove songs to tweak them and reload. Sometimes they never return 🤔

Headphones recommended.
