Nice production quality and I like your poetic lyrics~

wish SC would notify when people I follow have new tunes...but tracking them down is worth it for tunes like this Dave!

I really like this Dave. And a very poetic lyric. Superb. Thanks. ;)

Lovely song writing and excellent production.

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Looking Up & Down

Looking Up & Down  ~ a song for Gary (video link in notes)

I composed this song many years ago but I updated in 2023. 

"Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely never helped nobody
Ans all I can do is just think of you"

"Everybody Needs Someone"- Len FM Folk

Keeping this up in the interests of national security...

 in honor of the toxic human being who would sacrifice everything for the sake of his own brittle ego  (if you disagree please don't bother telling me--we inhabit different cognitive universes, and I wish you the best in yours)

This Jeremiad just gets truer by the day 

hazy yeah I have a memory
bought with a ticket by the back gate it's coming to me now

if no one can name the deed there's no way to come back to me
there's no room in my house for back stabbers

I could be the one you need with the greatest of ease
you're gonna see a plan work out
you might be the one to bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I keep a list of all the things they've done to me
and a payback posse with a violent creed
you oughta know better than to fuck with me

I need a girl that keep her legs open and her mouth shut
don't say you didn't sign right there on the line
you'll be kicking and screaming but your ass is mine

who's that waiting there over by the dim light
I can feel the stare but I'm not scared
somebody's gonna bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I'm gonna burn this house down tonight
it's always been about me

Burn This House Down (explicit)

Lyrics and Music: James Toburen

In Blackmoor's quiet grace,
Tess, a flower in the open space.
Dreams like winds across the moor,
A shepherd's daughter, love to explore.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Marlott's fields, a world so small,
Tess, heeding destiny's call.
Durbevilles' door, a fateful night,
In noble disguise, love took flight.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Through fields of gold, she roamed,
A fleeting love, a heart disowned.
Stonehenge whispers ancient lore,
Tess, entangled, forevermore.

Angel's love, pure and fair,
Secrets unveiled, a heavy air.
Past shadows linger, a haunting song,
Tess, in sorrow, she did belong.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

Stonehenge's shadows, a sacred ground,
Tess sought solace, fate unbound.
Gallows' shadow, a solemn stand,
Society's falsehood, destiny's hand.

Tess, in shadows deep,
A tale of love, a soul to keep.
Durbevilles' daughter fair,
In tragedy's embrace, unaware.

In Tragedy's Embrace, Unaware

In Tragedy’s Embrace, Unaware

Lyrics

Never knew you'd have days like these
Where your world would bring you to your knees
Leave you howling at the moon
Feeling such a fool

Well you were master of your universe
You could do your best you could do your worst
There were times you seemed invincible
But now somehow you feel invisible

Well some days your gonna win, some days your gonna lose
Eventually you'll learn, that's just the way it is..,

So you decide that you'll just crash and burn
Just cut your losses and just cut and run
Disappear into the wild blue yonder
And lick your wounds and sit and wonder

Some days your gonna win, some days your gonna lose
Eventually you'll learn, that's just the way it is..,

You learn some days to take the rough with the smooth
And find some days your gonna have the blues
And not everything is just awesome and sic
Sometimes sick is just what it is...,

Some Days

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails".  St. Paul continues his treatise on love to the Corinthian church--but is it true?  God help us if it is not. It is the central message of Christmas; that He becomes one of us to show us what love is in an ultimate way.  
And we celebrate glimpses; to feel the heartbeat of a loved one, to look deep into the eyes of the beloved and glimpse the soul, to hold the hand of young and old, to give aid to the helpless, hope to the hopeless, to forgive with the hope of healing.  Is it possible that acting in faith and hope is love in action?  I think so, I pray so. Merry Christmas and may you be blessed by feeling the pulse of those around you:)
A very special thank you to Seagull @farout-music-studio for his inspiration on so many projects this year, for urging me out of my playing comfort zone, and being a patient friend in all our endeavors:)  Blessings and much love to you my friend.

Hello,
How are you?
Here are some songs wot I wrote. Mostly recorded at home as a sort of one man band set up.
Also some music from other projects that I have been involved in as a drummer.

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}
