MOONWALKING YOUR LABYRINTH

Old man becomes bewildered by the world around him.
Grabs strong fresh coffee, picks up trusted old guitar, makes song.
Feels marginally better.
Repeat.


Handing Back the Keys

Been around a little while, just a simple guy at heart.
Maybe need to recompile, never sure where to start.
Seems truth was hijacked way back when, now we only speak apologies.
The honest world I shared with friends, now facile gesture policies.

Straight plain-speaking words of old, now twisted tricks that fool the eye. 
Where’d compassionate understanding go?  Synthetic emotions, plasticised.
Where’s humanity, and where’s the grace, honour, trust, all time forgot?
What in hell is the human race, but a choked semantic gordian knot?

It’s not that I’m ungrateful Lord, for this time you’ve given me.
The miracle of life’s reward, you bestowed on me for free.
But your Word cannot be reconciled with our destiny’s insanities,
We’ve left logic and reason way behind, so I’m handing back the keys…….…to life.

Lyrics:

is it possible?
make life better
take a step further

is it possible
to do something good
when I have nothing to give
but me
nothing but me

just me
the ugly me

fear and doubts are on the menu
my own skin becomes the venue of the fight

can you feel the stress
don't you feel opressed
no, I'm not obsessed
don't you be upset

can't you feel the stress
no, I'm not obsessed
I just feel opressed
and you make me upset
oh you make me upset
denying your strengths
ignoring your worth

why can't you see what I see
I wish you could see throught my eyes
that you are in the sunrise

is it possible
can I stop it?
to bash myself
can I trust it?
having faith in me
finally

cauze you're digging you're hole
and you're bashing your soul
by trusting your failures
is the fate you deserve
oh you're bashing your soul
and you're digging your hole
by trusing your failures
condemn you to the same behavior

Call this a retro dystopian future....

DYSTOPIA

Endless chatter, walk the fields
No horizon, blade towers 
Cloudy sky, 20-20 vision
See the light, the nights delight

Endless line, endless party
Endless time, endless future
In the air, never to die
In the flow, irresistible way

I saw the hole
I saw the hole

Just stop this light from reaching me
I'm frail and fragile in my serenity

The silence, brown fields
Big sky, damn the sky
Blue sky, clouds in my eyes
Bright night, blinding darkness

Endless line, endless beggars
Endless time, endless waiting
Surface down, the depletion
Wanderer, aimless loss

I’m burning
I’m burning
I saw the hole
I saw the hole

Just stop this light from reaching me
I'm frail and fragile in my serenity
just dropped from heights you cannot reach
One nail, one coffin that I will never need

It's only air we're breathing
Despair of season
Wary of reason
Depths of treason
It's only air we're needing
The care of heathens
Contraire, the meaning
Years of being

Dystopia

LA VÉRITÉ SI ELLE EXISTE? JE N’EN SAIS RIEN N’INSISTE PAS.
MAIS TOI NOAH QUE TU EXISTES, PASCAL EN DOUTE, PAS MOI
SORTI DES DRAPS DE L’IOWA SORTI TOUT SEUL DE SOUS LE LINCEUL 
CHACUN POUR SOI A TOUR DE BRAS ET QUELQUE FOIS EDDY BELLEGUEULE ?
QUI A TUÉ MON PÈRE QUI A TUÉ LE TIEN
LE CARNAVAL DES AFFAIRES L’ENFER DU QUOTIDIEN RIEN
UN PÈRE UN FILS LA VIE LA MER
TÉLÉMAQUE ULYSSE ET PÉNÉLOPE QUI TRICOTE À L’ENVERS 
LES POLÉMIQUES LA POLITIQUE
CHACUN SA VIE SON POINT DE VUE
TOI DE QUEL BORD DE L’ATLANTIQUE
TE RECONNAIS-TU NOAH LE PLUS
QUI A TUÉ TON PÈRE QUI A TUÉ LE MIEN
ÇA RESTE UN MYSTÈRE ON N’EN SAURA JAMAIS RIEN RIEN
Un père, un fils sont à quelques mètres l'un de l'autre dans un grand espace, vaste et vide. Cet espace pourrait être un champ de blé, une usine désaffectée et déserte, le gymnase plastifié d'une école. Peut-être qu'il neige... (EDOUARD LOUIS)
TES LARMES PARLENT TES YEUX SE TAISENT THÈSE ANTITHÈSE ENTRE PARENTHESE

Blue labyrinth

Yonder is an old English word that means, that way. Far away.
I was always captivated by long gone civilizations with buried cities waiting to be discovered, no one really knows were they are, they lay somewhere Yonder...
 Its with great pleasure I dedicate this piece to a young lady I found out is a fan of mine, thank you Ella for bringing a smile to my face, this piece is for you. <3

Gary and I have always been fascinated by the beauty of cloud formations. So when we first heard about SoundCloud, the very name piqued our collective imaginations before we'd even visited the site or posted any music. We started Mountain Songs nine short years ago and we've now had well over half a million plays on the page, something we could never have expected. 
The two of us have had many conversations about SoundCloud being like an imaginary village situated somewhere up in the clouds. In this village, there are lots of pubs and bars where we meet with other like-minded folks, occasionally stopping to play music together and share a hypothetical drink or three to oil the wheels of discussion. These hospitable watering holes may indeed be imaginary but the friendships made have been very real, meaningful and long-lasting.
This seemed like the ideal time to write a song about this fantastic village. Within the lyrics, you may read names you've never heard before but they are all, in some way, connected with cloud phenomena. If you're at all interested, do Google them and read their stories. It's fascinating stuff.
Of course, Hans picked up on the atmosphere of this one straight away and, as always, has produced a brilliant arrangement that took the song on to greater heights. He is just one of those with whom we not only collaborate musically but have also become close friends, alongside others such as Gordon Midgley and Arkestar. There are so many other names we could mention but we sincerely hope they know who they all are.
As many of you will be aware, neither Gary nor myself are getting any younger and age has brought with it a number of debilitating medical conditions that are making it harder and harder to stay as active on SoundCloud as we have been in the past. Gary has always been the one who maintains the day-to-day contact but his ongoing health problems are now starting to make that impossible. We continue to support each other as best we can and will be posting new songs when we get the opportunity. 
We're not saying goodbye here, more of a 'we’ll see you around when we can...’ 
This song is for all of you, our wonderful SoundCloud friends. With all our hearts, we thank you for the kindness and support you have shown over the last nine years. It really has meant the world to us. (Terry Reeves)

Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about the spillage

The cloud committee with thermal drafts
All around the world from Moon to Mars
Fish skin and fire giving rainbow skies
And many sounds heard avoid euphonious lies
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about your image

A Nimbus cloud forming part of our friendship 
With an open gate to welcome McKendrick
Harmonic instruments played by the commune
As our voices scream, searching for the right tune
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part don’t worry about the beverage 
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part and make sure the world’s astonished
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry how long to finish

Columnas clouds covering every hamlet
With your head inside to avoid any bandit
Gavin Pretor-Pinney guides ukes to a mission
And shares music and clouds with all who listen
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part with moments to cherish

William Rankin rode hard and past thunder
With Lucy in The Sky, with diamonds up and under
In the cloudy village that never will be seen
Covering collaborations of musical dreams
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry it’s a privilege 
Welcome to the SoundCloud village (repeat….)

SOUNDCLOUD VILLAGE - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS (Please See Description)

Here is the title track from the debut album from Penelope's Thrill, just released on Bandcamp (and Spotify, etc.). This album has been a labor of love, recorded and mixed over the past lockdown year in my tiny home studio (Yew Tree Studios).
You can find the complete 18-track album now on Bandcamp:
https://penelopesthrill.bandcamp.com/album/twilight-on-tunnel-road

The inspiration for the album actually came from the accidental necessities of the pandemic: On my regular trips down to my 88-year-old mother, who lives about an hour south of Madison, to bring groceries and supplies, I'd always drive home on the winding backroads, usually hitting Tunnel Road at sunset (see album photo). That route is now engraved on my mind: Marshall Bluff Road to Exeter Crossing Road, to Tunnel Road to Argue Road. This route roughly follows the very edge of the "Driftless" Region of Wisconsin, that is the area that was not covered by the glaciers during the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. So along this route there are all sorts of rock outcroppings, drumlins, and other glacial artifacts, and you can often see the actual line where the glacier stopped. The area has a charged spiritual feeling, especially at twilight--a "thin place," as the Irish would say.
Anyway, week after week, month after month, the songs came to me as I drove back along this stretch and imagined the lives of Lonnie and Chloe (the focus of the album). I even picked out the exact farms where they lived....

For more about the album, including dozens of stunning photos of the region, check out the new Penelope's Thrill website, just launched in concert with the album:

Main guitars on this track are a Gretsch 5422T with a custom made solid brass bridge (which gives it a pretty unique tone) and a Gretsch 5622T (hitting the Bigsby).
LYRICS:
“Twilight on Tunnel Road”	
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

She was walking just to clear her head one night—
the sun was setting in the west.
She felt something in her soul was just not right.
She kept on walking on a quest.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
looked at the sky, it was aflame.

Took her shoes off and walked barefoot through the grass.
The air it tasted like champagne.
Felt the wind run its fingers through her hair.
She wasn’t felling any pain.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
realized she’d never be the same.

Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
she don’t know it, but she’s walking into dreamtime 
in the night.
Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
She can’t see it, but she’s walking toward the light.

She smells something that smells just like gingerbread.
She tastes nutmeg on her tongue.
It reminds her of the Christmasses she’s fled,
the innocence when she was young.

She was running and she…she was thinking and she…
never realized her name.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
she knew that darkness was her name.

Twilight on Tunnel Road

Twilight On Tunnel Road

This is a classic rockabilly style song.  Similar to the Stray Cats, Eddie Cochran, and the songs of the 50's.  I play an Epiphone Casino for both rhythm and lead guitar parts.

Hey There

Verse 1:
Hey there baby can’t you see
I’m the one for you and you’re the one for me
Lets make this happen all full of glee
You know it’s true so hear my plea

Verse 2:
We’re gonna make it on down the line
The future is yours and mine
Kids are coming I can see the sign
It’s a celebration no need to pine

Verse 3:
Hey there wife, we’re so fine together
Life is fine it’s light as a feather
Sailing on through the pleasant weather
You make my world such a pleasure

Verse 4:
Hey there partner we’re getting’ older
Things aren’t cause we’re getting’ bolder
Your so hot you make me smolder
We take it in stride put it on our shoulder

Verse 5:
This is our life done in harmony
Happy and sad full of irony
Most of it done artfully
Some things done a little carelessly

Verse 6:
Growing old together is such a joy
We play together like each other’ toy
Your my love and I’m your bat boy
We do it together we’re the real McCoy
