Gather round
the wishing tree
space givers and
stage divers...

Black cloud 
with silver lining
whatever your plan, 
there's no no fool proof timing

Plan B is  - Just in case
If all goes haywire, get back to base


I see what you're looking at
While winging the quarantine
Like a hermit in long gone days
pacing up & down this tiny space

Sip the wine, bind your time
just a walk could be a crime
Persistant we all must be
Until we're finally free

Plan B is  - a safety net
if things get hectic, hedge your bet

solo

Plan B is a great escape
Situation is not yet shipshape.

Masks and screens
Sprays & mace
When again
can we show our face?

Plain sailing (if all goes well)
No failing (but who can tell)

Plan B is  - Just in case

Inviting friends to rework my ambient track Longings, which is track 1 in this playlist. I enabled download.

Wilfried Hanrath - Longings

Except for the kick, all other audio in this track was taken from recordings of Alvin Santner playing some jazzy tunes. Enjoy.

Improvisation 4 (ft. Alvin Santner on guitar)

I had this guitar lick kicking around for ages and ages. I didn't really know what to do with it until my friend Lucoline (https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/GAJYT) had a go at it and we came up with this.

Lyrics:
The moon looks sharp tonight
cutting through the atmosphere
dark shadows pierce the light
so lonely and austere

my breath fogs up like ice
but all my thoughts are crystal clear
I won't let you break my stride
I am getting out of here

Sharp footsteps pound behind
stirring up my hopes and fears
your voice rings clear and bright
it echoes in my ears

Such force and eloquence
that every word is insincere
I won't let you break my stride
I am getting out of here

What do you take me for?
You don't love me anymore
and I'm not the girl to stick around 
just to numb your pain
Your broken and wounded soul
it only keeps you in control
but I realized and it's hit me like
a bullet to my brain

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

It's amazing what comes into your head as you sit by the beach. This has turned out to be a dark waltz.  Unashamedly folk dressed up to go out for the evening. Keeping it low and slow.

A pinch of Cohen, a sneer of Bowie and a smattering of Cave... lets see what the world thinks.




Ripples

The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea
It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach
The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free
The sky is rippling, as it drowns me.

You looked out to sea, to horizons fall
Avoiding my eyes as you explained it all,
Stepping past cliches, you cut straight to the bone
Why give away lies, when there’s your own truth to own

You told how it felt, to be you with me
Unchallenged, alone, watching those others be free
And the trinkets I buy you and the words I pledge
Just make you feel hollow so it must end.

The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea
It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach
The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free
The sky is rippling, as it drowns me.

Without Power to the turn words back 
Asked you not to say more
but you were the tide
and I, a fool on the shore.

You spoke of beginnings how they must lead to ends,
You told me of couples who still stayed friends
No tear in your eye, just the hint of a frown
As your words broke around me,
turned my world upside down.

The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea
It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach
The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free
The sky is rippling, as it drowns me.

Killing Time

Vomit Covered Denim Jeans, by Elijah Kealy.

this album was created in only a few weeks, with each song being made in one day. I set out to record, produce and master each song in less than 24 hours, some only being a 2-3 hour long session. I wanted to make a project that was more creatively fulfilling for me and this definitely did that and helped me to not be as much of a perfectionist and to just have fun.

All tracks were written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Elijah Kealy.
