Man Eats Bat

The message in this song is that there is strength in numbers, one voice by itself may not be heard, but a million voices must be heard. One raindrop by itself is lost but when million come together they form the mighty seas. I wanted to get a live feel from this song so i recorded the vocal and the guitar live in 1 take on my Zoom X5 then transferred the WAV file to the DAW where i put in some atmospheric voice synth, some acoustic Bass and some percussion. its one of the longest songs i have recorded as i generally believe that most people won't listen more than 3 minutes but hopefully there is enough in here to keep interest,  i really hope you like it and to help here are the words.


One voice in the wilderness, 
one raindrop falls from the sky 
One soul lost in the darkness,
 One tear drop falls from an eye 

Two voices join together and sing in harmony 
Two raindrops join together help to form  the sea 
Two souls finds each other floating in the sky 
Two tear drops fall together as somebody starts to cry 

3 voices shout for freedom all for one and one for all 
3 Raindrops turn to snow drops as they gently fall 
3 souls on the ground fell the gentle Snow 
3 tears freeze like icicles on the world below 

4 voices sound so beautiful as they together sing 
4 raindrops paly a magic scale as the church bells ring 
4 souls move together in perfect harmony 
4 tear drops cry for you and for me 

5 voices become a quire voices of all pitches 
5 Rains drops fall and form a stream running in the ditches 
5 souls join together to become a might forces 
5 tear drop fall full of remorse

Together we are  Stronger (There's strength in numbers)

UN AIR QUI TRAINAIT À CE COIN DE RUE
UN TRUC À LA TRENET AUJOURD’HUI DISPARU
UNE DOUCE INCONNUE D’UN REVE VÊTUE
 QUI S’OFFRE LA VUE DU PARADIS PERDU

RIEN N’EST PLUS COMME AVANT
SAUF LA PLUIE ET LE VENT 
SUR LES PAVÉS LUISANTS DES TEMPS PEU RELUISANTS
OUI CE SONT D’AUTRES TEMPS QUI ONT PRIS LES DEVANTS
ET OÙ JE VAIS RÊVANT A L’ENVERS DE L’AVANT

UN AIR QUI TRAINAIT À CE COIN DE RUE
UN TRUC À LA TRENET AUJOURD’HUI DISPARU
UNE DOUCE RECONNUE D’UN REVE VÉCU
QUI S’OFFRE A LA VUE DE MON PARIS PERDU

RIEN N’EST PLUS COMME AVANT
NI LA PLUIE NI LE VENT
NI LES PAVÉS LUISANTS UN PEU MOINS RELUISANTS
ET POURTANT DE L’AVANT ON Y VA VAILLAMMENT
SANS SAVOIR NI COMMENT NI POURQUOI ET POURTANT

I recorded the audio with my phone while it was playing on my TV, then I edited it a little bit before putting it in the song.

Nat and I are both long-time fans of the great crooner, Roy Orbison. Like us, it seems he was a hopeless romantic, so we have contemplated this cover for some time. But it was a challenge to change it up from the classic original that Roy recorded back in 1961. Here we’ve given it a bit of a spin in several ways. Most notably you’ll hear us divide the song into two parts, the man who cries and the woman who goodbyes. Hopefully Roy would approve, but most importantly we hope you’ll enjoy this take on “Crying”.

Many thanks to Jaime for adding her beautiful harmony to this raw cover. Love this John Denver song!

This song was written coming up to the 19th anniversary of Stephen Biko's death in detention. I'd visited St. Stephen's Green in Dublin, where the last hanging took place, and that prompted the title. I'd also been musing on the death of Saint Steven, the first Christian martyr. All of these various ideas informed the lyric.

Saint Stephen(Brian Peters)

There’s a wicked wind behind me
And it’s coming on down
And it’s breathing air reminds me
There’s blood on the ground
And I’m sleeping on an old lullabye
And I’m reaching between earth and sky

Now there’s a wall between us
You’re on one side
You have already seen us
There’s no place to hide
And I’m standing at the wrong end of the line
And I ain’t got a dime
-
Some people never wonder about things they’ve seen
Some people never worry, some people never dream
-
Well the shadows of the evening
They come to me now
And they’re calling Saint Stephen
To come on back down
There’ve been twenty hard years on the plough
And plenty of tears have been sown

I can feel Saint Stephen
He walks like a ghost
And his nails are uneven
His eyes they are lost
And he’s looking for a home in the world
And he’s caught between heaven and earth

Saint Stephen

Many times when I compose I come up with a lot of ideas and when I try to sing I realize that I need to simplify. Usually when I am done I delete the original draft, but in this case I liked all the organ pieces I came up with and decided to hang on to the draft. A simplified version of this eventually became the song "Easy For You" with Davy Vance. This is a sort of B3-ish organ fest that I really like - hopefully some of you out there feel the same way.
