This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

GOTTA WIN

Verse 1:

The stars align, the darkness of night, 
A girl is born, she's a pitiful sight.
Her mother dies, her father's unknown, 
From an early age, yeah Yu-ri's alone.

Chorus 1:

You tell me, that the world is such a beautiful place,
Ain't listening, cos the future's set and killing is grace.

Verse 2:

No one wants her, brought up by the state,
But gradually, Yu-ri learns her fate.
In her great mind, possibilities shine,
Black is her choice for the world to define.

Chorus 2:

I tell you, that the world is dark and I see your face,
You look at me, as your life ebbs away, yeah gone without trace.

Coda

Yu-ri is a girl we know and she lives with second sight,
She looks so small and vulnerable, wearing black, dead eyes, no fright.

O baby baby
Why U do that
we're no different...landin on the tarmac
born with the light of life
first thing U severed with that knife
cause...sure seems U don't respect me
just wanna affect me
keep me in peony
dragging buried chains
say I  gotta change my name
yea...that tree this bee
that crow this me
who are U to give to me
the labor and the task
wantin me to jump...cause U ask
O
I followed that chain digging into history
cause I was once free
and how I got here...is a mystery
til I look ur way...into inky eyes
full of misery...and I know
its useless to plead
a lesson in how to bleed
yea
cause it sure seems U don't love me
just wanna judge me
bust me
keepin me in peony
draggin buried chains
say I gotta keep this stain
yea that tree this bee
that crow this me
keepin me in peony
dragging buried chains
on my knees

That Tree This Bee

My new disco classic from 1978,
Le Freak by Chic.
I re-recorded it at 118 bpm and 18 synthesizers. I thought of something special for the bass...
Have a listen.
Have fun again everyone.
