Lyrics

When it sinks in
there’s no reasons why
not to lay it all to rest
in a castle in the sky
when you bite the bullet for
another journeys end...
to be getting back on your feet, and-
to just start it all over again

Let it be born again, rebuilding
Just let it be born again, rebuilding

So if there’s no in-between
when visions start to die 
When it all comes falling down 
like Icarus in the sky
Tomorrow is built on
yesterday’s descend
So when you reach the precipice,
you start it all over again

Let it be born again, rebuilding 
Just let it be born again, rebuilding
I’m gonna gonna get born again, rebuilding
I’m gonna gonna get born again, rebuilding!

I haven't been mixing for 2 month, and decided that is a good idea to mix someone else song before mixing mine. That is the result, hope you'll enjoy it :)

Black Crown - Cage (ReMix by VanLaff)

Written after revisiting Manchester band, The Fall's catalogue following the premature demise of frontman Mark E Smith. When I first played a version of the song  live someone said it reminded them of a Madness song and I was rather flattered by that, so there's some SKA horns in there too.

A Nondescript Man

The Continuum II Linear Thoughts

I am a singer-songwriter originally from Liverpool (yes, that one; home to Cilla, Everton FC and a few other cultural icons) and now living in Kent, near London, UK. I play in a ‘punk n’roll' covers band called the The Oddball 3 and my own songs solo at open mics. I’m a music nerd/geek obsessed with The Beatles and Bowie and like lots more: Costello (btw my ‘Elvis’ moniker is a nickname I picked playing rugby football – I think I started one season with a decent set of sideburns!), Squeeze, R.E.M., Smiths, Roxy, Bolan, Springsteen, Neil Finn etc. Partial to a bit of synth / electronica/ country/ SKA/ reggae/ Motown/Stax soul too – a very eclectic mix of inspirations and influences. I’m a vinyl and CD junkie and overall,  listening to, playing and writing music is my life's passion...... However, I try ,nonetheless, not to take myself too seriously and I do this 100% for fun and while I dream of writing a classic song(s) from which the publishing could allow me to quit the day job (I'm a school teacher) realistically, I have no ambition other than for friends and strangers to give me the privilege of their valuable time to listen to my songs; and, as a bonus, if they like it; maybe click and comment. I record all my stuff on my iPad using Garageband for iOS. Yeah; for sure I could get a better sound if I used X,Y and Z or mixed this up and that down etc. but I'm honestly not really bothered. Generally, I’m lo-fi, vintage, retro, 20th century kind of guy and everything I present here is purely a demo. It is all about the songs and the sound ‘idea’ for me and not the performance. Although I believe that I’m a very competent/experienced, (albeit technically ‘unadventurous’) guitar player; I’ll hold my hands up to a limited singing range and looping and pre-sets save my life given my keyboard skills extend barely beyond being able to flange out chords with one or two not accompanying bass notes. If you want to talk about my (or your) songs that's cool; as is anything geeky/nerdy about any of the artists above or similar. However, please don't get in touch with production tips and suggestions, because in the nicest possible way, I’m not that interested in such things - But I won't be rude if you don't read this first :) More than anything, think it’s really important that artists respect each other’s’ work even if they don’t like or rate it highly. Anyway, Love and Peace, ElvisOddball AKA Michael Murray
