Another soulful offering David!  Cool lift at 1:58, also top recording

Great musicanship on this super song. My fave is the awesome bass line, the run down and back up again on the lift. Fab vocals as well. Think this one is done and dusted mate, got it down good and proper. Very much enjoyed my spins.

A wonderful performance, David! I’ve missed your songs for a while, but I’ll catch up!

I'm glad that you dusted off this one. a real gospel rocker, if this tern exists. gonna blow up the roof of every house.

great guitar sound - ilove your voice its so beatiful 🥰💝

I am so impressed with your vocal range and how you're able to change your vocal style to fit the style of the song!

Skin in the game 

Sometimes 
You gotta put a little 
Skin in the game, baby
Sometimes it hurts to win
And If you can’t sing with the angels 
Then howl with the wolves 
For man is a wolf to man 

And when the sun don’t shine as bright 
And the stars start falling down at night
I’ll be looking for you in the moonlight 
Looking for you in the moonlight 

You gotta put a little 
Skin in the game, baby
Sometimes it hurts to win 
From rounding first to stealing home
Can’t conquer thirst by breaking bones 
And if you can’t sing with the angels 
Then howl with the wolves 
For man is a wolf to man

And when the sun don’t shine as bright
And the stars start falling down at night
I’ll be looking for you in the moonlight 
Looking for you in the moonlight

ronald goddamn chase - raw songwriting track

This one was written way back in 2008, but I've never managed to record a satisfactory version. Until... well, actually, that statement's probably still valid.

This is a Soundcloud/Bandcamp-only special. Hope you enjoy! And have a great rest of January...


LYRICS

There’s a light shining up the road
There’s a light shining up the road
There’s a light and it’s leading me home
And it’s where I’m gonna go

My hands shaking
And my feet aching
And I don’t know how long I’ve been this way
I ain’t religious
No, I ain’t superstitious
But I still get on my knees and pray

Oh darlin’ won’t you help me through the night?
I can see you at your window in the morning light, because

There’s a light shining up the road...

The dawn's breaking
And the choir's waking
And it all just sounds so sweet to me
Come tomorrow there will
Be no sorrow
For you have come and set me free

Oh darlin’ won’t you help me through the night?
I can see you at your window in the morning light, because

There’s a light shining up the road...

Many times I've asked the question
In the dead of the night
Are you somewhere very far from here
Looking up at the same light?

There’s no home like your home, darlin'
No home like our home, darlin'
No home like this home
And it’s where I’m gonna go

There’s a light shining up the road...

There's A Light

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Off the rails
get off the rails
you'll find much different beauty, you'll see
don't be afraid to be alone
don't be afraid to go on your own
believe me you don't need your phone
no, you need to get lost
and to get out of the frost
can you imagine a second
the world differently
can you take a decision
without someone to agree
look differently
try sometimes differently
can you be brave enough
to stand up by yourself
can you be coureagous enough
to choose for yourself
despite what may happen
follow the flowers
follow the smell
that attracts you
whatever happen
remember
you are the one
you are alone

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

TWICE AROUND THE MOON words and music Doug Roossien 3-24-2023
Those moments 
Between Breathing
When you catch your soul
Walking twice around the moon 

The moments 
You stop believing. 
You catch your eyes. 
Saying things, you can’t control …(So many tears)
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold. 

That moment 
Life stops turning. 
When you realize 
Life’ll  never be the same.

That moment 
All hope is burning. 
You stand and watch a fire. 
You can’t control. 
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold.
You’d trade all your tomorrows …to save your soul. 

………………………………………………………… ( bridge)
…………………………………………………………………….(music)
Those moments 

Those moments  
Between Breathing 
Where you walk your soul
Twice around the moon.

The moments 
You stop believing. 
You catch your eyes. 
Saying things, they can’t control.  
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold. 
You’d trade all your tomorrows …to save your soul. 

Those moments  
You stop deceiving. 
and you catch your soul.
Walking twice around the moon 
Twice around the moon, Moments … You walk …Twice around the moon .
