Lovely song, Ed...off to listen to the other version...

like the melody nd the lyric/story..funny how we grasp at weird self destructive things to fill time.buddy hackett was a comedian who said he suffered all his life from heartburn from the heavy jewish foods his mom made and when he got to the army the heartburn went away and he thought he was having a heart attack..have a great day

Such a beautiful heartfelt song! Uplifting. Love the blackbird in this, so fitting.  You have a really great voice Ed! Wonderful performance!👏🏻

By the way, the artwork for this song goes so well🙂 it creates this extra depth while listening.

Country boy leaves his small-town life & small-town sweetheart for the big-city life and a big-city girl, and everything seems to be working out grand. But it turns out that there’s just one little problem….

About the depths of depression that I call the blackstuff. Happens to all of us, the trick is escaping.

Sincèrement vôtre

This is my 'small' gentle version of my song 'No Enemy'. It's got just two guitars, vocals, slapped knees, and a blackbird singing.

It's a peaceful song about someone who spent years full of hate. When the hate fades they feel empty, because all that hating had kept them entertained. But, in the song the scary emptiness the person feels is beautiful and full of possibilities.

Close To You

Let Lovers Rule!
Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

In my fantasy a world of love is what we need

Hate, violence, fear, guilt it all will be banned
no leaders who have the country in their bloody hand
with tolerance we respect gender, age, nation
with love as guide money looses its station

It's my dream you know what I mean

Let all lovers rule the world
no more alpha males with their evil will
no tyrants who let kill
with a thirst they can never fill
but churches for all or none at all
teach love, compassion and to forgive

In my dream you know what I mean

It's my fantasy, no me but we
take my hand

In a world filled with hope there's no need to fight
replace hate with understanding, all unite
guided by love, we don't let each other fall
offering kindness and support for and from all

It's my dream come on and help me!

Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

Let Lovers Rule

This is a fun little experimental jam that I got started and then looped in STONERJAZZ @user-911083679. It had been a little while since I collaborated with him-- it's always a blast and stretches my creativity in new directions!

Mark Kurtis Adams (1956-2022) is the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. We were friends for forty years. Since his passing, I have been combing through his massive catalog of original songs; many co-written with friends, many written solo. It would be a crime for the world to never hear the music I grew up on. Mark gave me permission/freedom to use his music in any way I choose before he died. Here is VOLUME 2 of Mark's music as I have interpreted it.

Carry My Heart

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings, along with instrumentals that mix acoustic and electronic textures. 

Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, ABBA, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.
