Definitely one of you and Kev's finest moments. So resonant to anyone who knows Glasgow at all. Bravo guys, very special indeed

A top notch song from lyrics to music and vocals, and production. Upbeat melancholy. Well done to both of you.

wow, first time hearing your stuff, what am impressive production! powerful vocals and kind of reminiscent of Bowie at times. solid lyrics too. nice work man...

P-line:
℗ @ Candyside Arcade & SuZanne Ledwith
I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

Les Ailleurs

Je sais que je suis d’ailleurs
Je pars…
Affronter les Ailleurs
Et faire mienne une Terre
Ou plus vaste, une Mer

Battre tambour, 
Vainqueur de peuples étroits
Franchir les détroits et …
Bâtard semer l’effroi
Par l’amour métisser,
Limer les dents … contre soi
Vaincre le temps, vaincre le sang-pure ingrat
Nu sous les étoiles, vêtu d’un drap,
Dépouillé, va-nu-pieds,
Dévorer la langueur
Et boire la torpeur
Etranger à soi même,
Vivre ivre d’ailleurs
Et terrasser les railleurs
Qui me transpercent de leurs opinions
Mais au matin digne, ma résurrection
Tord leur aversion

Je sais que je suis d’ailleurs
Je pars…
Affronter les Ailleurs
Et faire mienne une Terre
Ou plus vaste, une Mer

Qu’ils bavent dans les mille langues
Leurs coups ont fait mon corps
Et l’amour en mon  âme est fort
Aller, marcher, tanguer, chevaucher
Se fondre, se perdre jusqu’à la fusion
Briller du vent du soleil
Je n’ai plus mangé depuis des siècles
Et je bois le bleu de la nuit
Tendre ses bras aux bras du déluge
Hisser ou plonger et dériver ensemble
S’unir en vaisseau humain
Voguer dans l’espace incertain
Tous ces chants, royaumes, montagnes,
Toutes ces batailles, vaincues par ton rêve,
Ton sourire flotte, étendard céleste,
Seul allié de mon cœur d’ailleurs
Je sais que je suis d’ailleurs

Je sais que tu es d’ailleurs
Je viens…
Aimer les Ailleurs
Et faire mienne une Terre
Ou plus vaste, une Mer

poem / copyright jo richter:

the open book is not a metaphor
you feel its weight as you hold it
text, texture, eerily gossamer
translucent when properly lit

you flip the pages forth and back
adapting your mental state
inhaling white, deciphering black
creating approaches to recreate

when something strikes you, bold
a perspective that's never been yours
you circle around it, trying to hold
its flight, detect where it moors

stubbornly liminal, elusively real
sheer force to broaden your scope
to include it, allow it to heal
from your onslaught, allow you to cope

catching up on the fine print
concludes your reading session
shivering still from a catching a glint
of mind's light when in transgression

劣等生。　

見えないものに　怯えてる日々に
どこへ向かい歩けばいいと言うの
恐れはいつも　ここに在って
立ち向かう事も　出来やしないって

揺れる木々　喧騒です
また明日　ほら嘘つき

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘に嘘重ねる日々で
夢を歌えど　夢に敗れて
涙流す日々と劣等生

見えないものに怯えてる　僕は
どこへ向かい歩けば良いと言うの
誰かの影に　隠れては　いつも
笑ってただ　涙をのんで　

揺れる心　劣等感
明日なら　ほら嘘つき

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘に嘘重ねる日々で
夢を歌えど　夢に敗れて
涙流す　日々と劣等生

心 虚空　喧騒です
喧騒に落ちた　一点です
いつも　心喧騒です
明日なら　言えるかな

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘を塗り続ける現状です
夢を歌えど　夢は遥かに
涙　溺れそうな　現状です

時は流れる　明日も変わらず
僕を　乗せて走り続けるよ
いつかもし　いつか僕が
変われる時が来たら 笑って

Meet me on the corner
Of Renfield and of West Georges, lane I’m told,
Let us wander in the rain, on streets that glisten gold,
Talkin traffic, walking home


Meet me in the station
The sweetest sense of fuel, ignites the very soul,
The sound of engines,   People talking,
On the Square, where heads they once did roll.


City of dreams,
The likes of which you’ve never seen,
The curtain falls, our gift to all,
The people we have been,
Boarded windows, Empty houses,
Blackened buildings, broken homes


Meet me on the quayside,
that launched and hauled the earth across Pacific seas,
We’ll take a boat ride,  down the water
And gaze upon the firth, and on the Clyde.

The Blue Green Hollow

The Tempus Collective - The Blue Green Hollow

The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
