I like the vibe a lot! Kept hoping some heavier drums would come in and the guitar would get more stereo. Really nice vibe.

brilliant musicianship and original songwriting.

You have a great identity of sound and there’s always a lot for the ears to pick up. I Like i hear different things on every listen 👍

Cool sound - good songwriting - good work

Perfect ending. Solid poetry, as always. Backing vocals are sooooo up my alley.

Excellent very well written song, wonderfully performed and produced!

It's Thelonious-Panarlberg-Guybrush-Threepwood-Monkday! Commander Fullyard and myself had been snacking on this one since April 2021. More than happy that we finally got our baby born! While mighty Fullyard has done all the freaking magic he is famous for, my contribution was mainly about nonsense ideas such as playing the Theremin and sampling blowing-over-beerbottle sounds. Thank you a million times Stefan for this adventure, your stamina and all the wolves! The result is far beyond expectation; retrospectively it was clear however that things would be damn cool --- synchronized hairstyles obviously go hand in hand with synchronized vibes.

'Round Midnight with Fullyard

This was a lot of fun to do. It started as an ambient guitar e-bow thing and became somthing very different. The audio is from a 1962 radio broadcast "The Doom Machine". Funny but at the same time relavant.

Passions Unleashed Dub

A tale from the present and from the past, a conversation between a man and his father, across distance and time. A connection, a long-ago promise made, perhaps forgotten, finally kept.

Hey Dad

Phone recording added to by The Happy Somethings 

I uploaded Bitter before but in my opinion this Bitter is better.
I wrote and played it on the 1st January 2023.

I have loved The Happy Somethings since I first heard them when in Azerbaijan about 6 years ago.  We share the philosophy that if we try harder it sounds worse!  I am pleased and honoured that they spontaneously decided to colloborate and be my "ramshackle"  backing band on this song!  a bit like with Buddy Holly's apartment tapes, only I think Buddy's were better before...and Buddy was never bitter.

...and in the words of The Happy Somethings:

"We have been fans of Cobbled Moth's musical output for some considerable time and when we came across this new song called 'Bitter' we just immediately loved it. One evening, bored with ourselves, and without him knowing, we decided to become his backing band... fortunately he embraced our audacity!"

Lyrics:
I remember you sweeter
Jiving at Saint Peters
You were a spirit transmitter
But now you are bitter
And it's a shame
If you think no one cares
You went through pain
I know I was there
But you always had a wise word
And a kind word too
What happened to you?
I remember you taller
And now you are smaller
Over the land you would skitter
But now you're just bitter
Ooo oo now you are bitter
Ooo oo now we are bitter
And it's a shame
If we think no one cares
We went through pain
Yet always stayed fair
And we always had a wise word
And a kind word too
The disillusionment grew and grew and grew
I remember you fatter
And it didn't matter
In the days before twitter
When you were not bitter
I remember you jolly
In the rain with no brolly
I remember you shiny
Your wit was perfectly briny
I remember you noble
Before the dragon went global
You were never a quitter
Hope you stop being bitter


Bitter - Cobbled Moth & The Happy Somethings

“Electric Candles”

I’m living fire
Bodily combustion
Burning blue under snow

Tendered words don’t warm me
I receive them—cold, cold, cold

I’m flesh and wonder
Presence ecstatic
But I feel alone

Emoticons don’t embrace me
I can’t feel what’s not here to hold

With an analog urge
I try to form myself into a sentence
To convey myself
On the digital surge
With only image to fill the lack of presence
I misspell myself

Electric candles
Burning not burning
In an alien, blue glow

You are without me
I only feel you—cold, cold, cold

Custom commons
Vicarious persons
Who the hell wants to know?

Be here with me
Let’s learn how to know and be known

Electric candles
Hissing with their flicker
Without human warmth
We freeze
A space so vacant
An air like static

Electric candles
A current from an outlet
Two simple pins that never truly connect
For real

Electric candles
Burning imagination
Visions as real as psychic hallucinations
That burn out when touched

Electric candles
Bluer than a held breath
The hope is lit
But shorter than a glim’s breadth
With no warmth to feel

Windy Night (All At Home)

TWICE AROUND THE MOON words and music Doug Roossien 3-24-2023
Those moments 
Between Breathing
When you catch your soul
Walking twice around the moon 

The moments 
You stop believing. 
You catch your eyes. 
Saying things, you can’t control …(So many tears)
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold. 

That moment 
Life stops turning. 
When you realize 
Life’ll  never be the same.

That moment 
All hope is burning. 
You stand and watch a fire. 
You can’t control. 
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold.
You’d trade all your tomorrows …to save your soul. 

………………………………………………………… ( bridge)
…………………………………………………………………….(music)
Those moments 

Those moments  
Between Breathing 
Where you walk your soul
Twice around the moon.

The moments 
You stop believing. 
You catch your eyes. 
Saying things, they can’t control.  
Life just gets too…  heavy … to hold. 
You’d trade all your tomorrows …to save your soul. 

Those moments  
You stop deceiving. 
and you catch your soul.
Walking twice around the moon 
Twice around the moon, Moments … You walk …Twice around the moon .

TWICE AROUND THE MOON (original)

• SAVE YOURSELF •

As if often the case with my creations, I wrote this song a little over a year ago but it’s ready to crawl out of its shell now! Inspired by my frustrations with people (a neverending source of great songs), the song started out with the guitar riff I wrote that then turned into a key sample that carries the song throughout the whole ride. It’s fun, it’s energetic & slightly wonky, a direct fusion of various genres the way I like it. The title of the song ‘troika’, a word I remember vividly from from my childhood, acts as a symbol of the effort you have to put into dealing with certain people, almost like a horse pulling a heavy sleigh in the rain & the mud. The answer is to trust yourself more, to love yourself more, because in the end there are only few people ready to be there for you when you need it the most. Love yourself, protect yourself, save yourself.

LYRICS

People always figure out new ways to let you down
Never underestimate the might of the clueless crowd
And I made the classic mistake thinking you don't count
Got away so fast I must have broken the speed of sound

You can nail me on that rotting cross with those rusty nails
Or bury me twelve meters deep and try to taint my name
Because I won't ever stop for someone's silly games
I've got better things to do than chasing tails
I'm too busy pulling a troika in the rain
And sometimes you got to leave a dead horse on the trail

Save yourself!
Save yourself!
Save yourself!

People always figure out new ways to let you down
Never underestimate the bile of the jealous crowd
Sure, look for the best in people but expect the worst outcome
Bad luck tends to creep back in while you're staring at the sun

Save yourself!
Save yourself!
Save yourself!
Save yourself!
