Name: House of Fools by ElvisOddball AKA
Duration: 2 min 49 s
Description: An early song hinting at a lifelong distrust of authority figures and their bullshit. The English philospher Bertrand Russell who said something like, "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." This is song is me sort of me making the same observation with the three 'Buddy Holly' chords.

Cool retro sound.  Like the lyrics. Sounds like early 60s rock.

The new single from Rare Elements is out now! Rock. Hard. Alternative.

Thirst

Oxygen

The guitar is a very enjoyable instrument and although I have been playing it for a long time now, I regularly discover something new or come up with a different idea. Each time, I feel fresh and new, as if it were the first time I had learned to play. I bought a 7-string a few years ago as a trial, and now I can't live without it. I mix tapping, shredding, sweeping, and many other expressions in one song, and I am thinking of trying slapping on my next song.

Have a good day, everyone.

Through The Window Of My Mind

After publishing our Collaboration „Multidimensional“ which had been a great success, I have started another one with Special Cecilia based on her vocal track „La meme planete“, where she meets with her lyrics perfectly this new age of a turning point. Thanks dear Cecilia for having created this great track and I hope you listeners will love this work.

Chasing The Dream

I have been invited by Combstead @markcombs-928282858
to play some lead guitar on a piece of him. The piece he provided to me was such a wonderful ballad, that I immediately got the ideas for the clean guitars. The solos were flowing due to Marks great and inspiring composition! 
So I feel very honored by that and I am looking forward to further collaborations with him.
I hope you will enjoy this as well as we do!
Have fun, it’s rock!

Paroles / Lyrics :

Mauvais pressentiment
une odeur lourde rôde tout autour...
Ne revient aucun sentiment
juste une peur sourde aux alentours...
L'heure du ménage de printemps
tonitruantes pluies de mauvais temps :
balles grenades missiles bombes...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Sonnent les heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

De mon plafond tombent des hallebardes
les murs se lézardent
je perds pied le sol se dérobe
m'attire m'aspire m'absorbe...
Grand nettoyage place au vide :
Maladies épidémies virus Covid...
toutes les plaies sur nous retombent...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Tonnent les heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

De toucher le fond il me tarde :
je tournoie sans fin dans la tornade...
Mes souvenirs m'oppressent me stressent
m'immergent dans la détresse.
Grand final catastrophes naturelles :
cyclones tsunamis éruptions incendies
belle mise en œuvre pour qu'on succombe...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Dans mes heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

Dans mes heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

Michael Murray's Album

House of Fools

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
