Everybody has struggles, no one is immune from trials in this life, but God helps us through them if we rely upon Him.

Struggles

My lyrics below inspired Riff to create this track
Vocals, All Music & Mix by Riff Beach 

HER MIND GOES BACK IN TIME
TO A PLACE CALLED BULL MOUNTAIN
AS WINTERS FIRST  SNOW IS FALLIN'
IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME

THE MOUNTAIN IS BEAUTIFUL 
AND OH WHAT A TIME THEY WILL HAVE
THE MEMORIES ARE WONDERFUL
NOTHING IS COMPLICATED

(CHORUS)
SHE DREAMS OF GOIN' BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN
WHERE THEY LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME
HER MAMA IS IN THE KITCHEN COOKIN'
THE GOOD TIMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NO I-PHONES OR I-PADS BACK THEN
NO FACEBOOK POST TO WORRY ABOUT
THE GOOD TIMES WILL SOON BEGIN
AND NOBODY WILL BE LEFT OUT

KIDS ARE RUNNIN' AND PLAYIN'
AND HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
CAUSE CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMIN'
AND IT WILL SOON BE SHOWTIME

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Bull Mountain Christmas - Collab by Tony Harris and Riff Beach - Original

We can never show enough solidarity ...

The Tough

Puti jumps on Ukraine
Joey breaks his Bank
Scholtzy lose the oil
Greta calls our Prank

Scholtzy moves to sunshine
Spinning pinwheels too
Xi Da owns da blades & Panes
Oh Bother what to do?

Jia Chong gets Joey’s Moula
Scholtzy’s skies are clear
Puti smashes satellites
And Donny blows hot air

Ohhh bother
What’s a mother to do?

Oh father

So I lay my head on Daddy’s lap
And Mother sings to me:

"Hush a bye don’t u cry
Go to sleep you little baby
When you you wake you’ll have cake
And all the pretty little horses"

She sings,
"Oh darlin don’t u know?

When the going gets tough
The tough got to go"

Go to sleep

Go to work

Go to heaven
Go to jail

Go get take-out

Go to hell

Oh Xi Xi, 
Oh Puti, 
Oh Donny & Mitch,

Oh mommy and daddy,

When the going gets tough

The tough got to go

The Tough

Choral Shifts

From the show "From Where? To Here". Recorded live at the Empty Space, Salford (Sept. 2021).  
Video: https://youtu.be/-Q-yzkIZ4mE 

Using an artificial intelligence system developed by Dr Anna Djambo (University of Leicester), recordings of neural network representations of our musical DNA are used to play a variety of sounds, accompanied by improvisations. Each performance will be unique.  Incorporates Whistling Warriors: Bravely fighting phantom wars, they haunt the modern mediascape.

Hark, the roar of the silenced boys
Filling the air with deafening noise
Hark, the cancelled women complain
Again and again and again and again

Random bores and media whores
Bravely fighting phantom wars
Bravely battling for billionaires
Brave generals in brave armchairs
Bravely signalling virtue-free
Peddling fantasy history
Bravely following the people’s clown
Saluting the flag hung upside down

Whistling warriors call their pack
Lighting gas for the snark attack
Money makes the merry-go-round
Sell fake England by the pound
