Ever since I heard Pink Floyd's "Money" that song hook has been embed in my brain. Money is a constant chip on my shoulder as an indie musician but the passion and love of music makes it all worthwhile. What can I say like the Pusher Man said -  I mean bank manager said: "In God We Trust The Rest Pay Cash".

The Transfiguration : Part 1 : An Air of Mystery
Napier's Bones, January 2016

The first complete track from "The Transfiguration", a 24 min suite telling of a paranormal investigator eager to debunk another folkloric legend for the benefit of his eager TV audience.
Ratings pressure from other, more spectacular, ghost-hunting shows  leads to a compromise between his scientific rigour and the need for dramatic programming.

The ruined Holy Trinity Church of Buckfastleigh, Devon, is the location for his latest assignment : to find evidence relating to the infamous Squire Richard Cabell...
Seventeenth Century Schizoid Man.

Are You Sitting Comfortably?
Then we'll begin.

----------------
1. An Air of Mystery
 
Another week, a new assignment
Ratings up with every phantom found
Goodbye kiss then onto Devon roads
Such a Happy Haunting Ground

Another well-loved ancient story
Handed down through history
Like Wistman's Wood, the Hand of Glory
They cling to make-believe

	Discarding age-old superstition
	On camera captured in full view 

Network :        "If it's there, it's on air"

Darting by the river, I see the ruined church in silhouette
So it's Squire Cabell, his spectral hounds and mausoleum glowing red
Sensors all around the tomb, remote connect all seeing eyes
Rational sights you can believe, midnight transmission time

	Presenting only what I find
	The viewers making up their minds 
Network :       "Success, Speaks for itself"

A air of mystery, goes a long way
A hint of danger, goes a long way
A little guidance, goes a long way
And who needs certainty? They all prefer it to be this way....

1. An Air of Mystery

This is recorded at home and i do all the instruments and vocals
this is far from being perfect, but still have fun  
              
can you hear the beat
the beat of a heart that is dead
in a space full of emptyness
just like a void

can you feel the defeat
the defeat of me and my head
in a space empty but still full
just like a void


I escape from reality
into my shell
frozen outside
far from a void

Void

You are my sweetest dream
You are my wildest fear
You were my best idea

Old with you
Old with you
Wanna grow with you
Wanna grow with you
Old with you
Old With you

You are my only one
My moon and sun
You are my best mistake
Perfect in every way

Old with you
Old with you
Wanna grow with you
Wanna grow with you
Old with you
Old with you

Old with you....

Old With You | RosesAreBlue

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

I tried to focus more on my mixing in this and the overall quality and tone of guitars. still not perfect but its a start, also please excuse my 'amazing' vocals (chorus only). But it gives you an idea of the direction I was aiming with this track.

EXISTENTIAL NOMADSLAND (the art of not Being-There)
The troubadour is singing his heart out
Every word a meaningful line
Strumming his guitar with a
Flowing silk scarf around his wrist
A token from his Lady, perhaps

The Mad Max Community architecture
Testament to the New Age
Recycled and Repurposed with
Right-on awareness and intent
This community of love and
Sharing and caring

Wanders aimlessly staring blankly
A Zombie community doing it right
Too Cool to listen to the Troubadour
They hang, posed listless in the green juice
And vegan burger graffiti painted
Urban community night..... yeah

Open collaboration with the always excellent Tom Adams.  It's always a pleasure to play along with him.  Not much time for music at the moment but I found a few minutes for this.

Frankie Miller wrote this, also covered by Joanne Shaw Taylor, which is how I first heard it.  I've never tried to do a proper recording of anyone else's song before so  we'll see how this sounds.

Jealousy (Frankie Miller)

I've recorded  this in one take, just me and my piano, singing my little heart out...  I had added a bunch of things to the production, then I took them all away again, it just is as it is...
.
There Comes a Time
.

There comes a time, a time to let go
a time to say yes, a time to say no
a time to rise up, stand tall and stand free
that time is not yet/has begun, come and sail/fly there with me

It’s a season of growing, it’s a season of pain
a time of direction, the pain and the gain
It’s a time to re-order, re-shape re-define
prune out all the extras, re-assess re-align

It’s been a rough ride, and it aint over yet,
but life keeps on flowing, her rivers run deep
and I guess you can leave it, just let it flow by
whether joy or sorrow, you can’t tell till you try

Yes there has been pain, you’ve been broken apart
felt the wild desolation,  the wind in your heart
but it’s time to move on now, time to leave it behind
cast aside those that hold you, let the future unwind

And there’s no use pretending, 
I know that it’s hard
but sometimes you must leave them, 
move on and discard


Written sung made and played by Emma.
Picture is a dreamscape with pastel and charcoal.

There Comes a Time...
