Incredible jam... so digging the vocal interplay.

My newest single released April 15! A Dreamy Pop ballad about love that was written for a friend of mine who was going through a very tough break up. There was a lot of love in the relationship, but her partner was having mental health issues at the time, which he felt he needed to deal with on his own. In the end she knew she had to set his spirit free, and hence “Fly Bird” was written.
This was co-produced with Felix Wolter and Christian Decker @ #timetools

Fly Bird


It’s getting late and i’m tired of this pain
Energy is failing nothing is the same
And in your arms i feel i’m lonely once again
Painful silences and no one is to blame

Fly bird away from the living
Fly free as you do
In a world of happiness and giving
I know I must do this for you

And if you stay here with me
Things just wouldn’t be the same
We both know you need to fly
Life moves on and people change

Fly bird away from the living
Fly free as you do
In a world of happiness and giving
I know I must do this for you

Life has things for you to see
And if i love you i must set you free
I trust our love is meant to be
And that one day you will fly back to me
Fly bird..back to me...fly bird

But as for now we both need our space 
It’s time to build up strengh regain our true face
Our seperate worlds we must embrace
Satisfaction in the finding of one’s place

Fly bird away from the living
Fly free as you do
In a world of happiness and giving
I know I must do this for you

Fly Bird

Progressive funk rock by the Dragonsail Puppets

Let it be joy, let it be
Dancing back framed in smoke topping the hill
Moving in

You brought joy when you bit the lure
You brought joy when you more than endured
Every little bubble of blood in the nub of the head
Every word said

Everything is hungry that lies before you prone
Settling down to the ground to drape itself below
Moving in that way, digging in
Funnelling through the tiny rim

You brought joy when you bit the lure
You brought joy when you more than endured
Every little bubble of blood in the nub of the head
Every word said

You brought joy between the volcanoes
Continuous play in the valley of the shadows
Latch on any way you can to the man in the frame
Before he fades away

You brought joy when the sky fell dark
Joy and pain all taken to heart
Bodies in the hedge are wedged into a single form
To press against the storm

Sweatin' out sweet
The ghosts of midnight meet you now
To lay you prone - bone on bone
The world's been waiting so long

You brought joy when you bit the lure
You brought joy when you more than endured
Every little bubble of blood in the nub of the head
Every word said

He looked down upon you with great surprise
He saw a star that he could place in his skies
Stepping out before you as a powerful stag
You knew it was a lie
He was the Great Spirit in disguise

Shifting shape to make you wise
You can follow him or stay but either way you'll rise
From the field you're in and be pushed by change
Because nothing stays the same when one thing's rearranged

Let it be joy by letting it be
Let it be joy by letting it be
And setting free

You brought joy when you bit the lure
You brought joy when you more than endured
Ball of fire, you'll struggle to stand over and over again
But there's joy in the shifting sand

A bright pulse, a steady trickle, something's getting done
Black wall, mossy hall, opening on a billowing curtain of warm night air
I breathe in what is there

You could've come some other way
But now you're here and the choices are too clear
Once you meet the fear
Feel that tide then sail out the other side

I can be molded with the stars to guide me
Most of my history is far behind me
If I have to revisit it only takes a day
It's just the right distance away

So when he returns at the appointed time
Lame and old and weak and kind
He'll rise you up to the sky
You'll be the morning star and the sun you'll guide

Far away from the dome
You know the joy of the sun is the same as our own
Transfixating through the night
On a faraway shimmer of light

I wrote the music to Nordic in 2019, for 'my' band Pelerin blue. It was performed once just before the pandemic hit. It was the first, and only time so far, that I've played my bouzouki in front of an audience. I'm hoping that we can resurrect at least the core of the band soon. In anticipation I've made this instrumental version of the track. I hope to be able to be able to record a live instruments with Tim Mahonney and myself, and entice the fantastic singer, Isabelle Hautefort to sing her lyrics for the song.

honey
blue cicadas sing loudly
in our backyard
Baby
Should we join them
Up high
In the treetops

Maybe 
They’ll let us join their song
Don’t worry 
We’ll make it up
As we go along

Shrug off yer shell 
Under Gods’ own sunshine
Come join 
The chorus before us

Don’t worry 
If you sing off key, baby
I’ll gladly 
sing it wrong along

It’s just a 
Needs words song

More music to listen to while zoning out or performing meaningless repetitive tasks.

Welcome to the alternative reality that is the Dragonsail Puppets! We have a YouTube channel with cagey comedy and spirited music videos as well. Please feel free to check it out and join us on this party boat!

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
