Whatever direction you approach from, it is always warm. A pleasure to hear.

I’M SORRY
(DWS 2021)

Some times I’m blind
and cannot see
But I still hear
the words coming out of me
and they haunt me to this day
I wish I had a chance to say   
I shoulda said
“I’m sorry.”

Don’t always know 
when I been wrong
sometimes too late
and the moment is gone
Hope it’s not too late
for you to hear me
I  wish I had a chance to say
I shoulda said
“I’m sorry.”

I'm Sorry

HOW LONG
(DWS 2021)

How long must I stand in line or
Should I bide my time
and sell it to the ages   

How long should I be declined
Should I stand and fight or
leave it for the sages?

Its been too long 
its been too hard
and I’m too tired to stand my ground
Its been too long too hard

How long must I sing this song or 
should I quietly go and 
leave it for the ages

Too long for this uphill climb 
should I change my speed
and give up the right to answer

Its been too long 
its been too hard
and I’m too tired to stand my ground
Its been too long too hard

Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone

It's just an idea
It's just an idea

The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes

It's just an idea [...]

He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands

Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost

They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose

It's just an idea [...]

Sweet Licorice And Bitter Cigarettes (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

2nd track from Grundomma 
Grundomma is myself and my brother Glenn Ward. It's been a few years since we actively made music together...but now seems like a good a time as any. We live a few 1000 kms apart across Australia so this a file swapping exercise. Bongo features Glenn on rhythm programming, synths and sampling, bass and yours truly on Piano/keys. The track features samples from the 1970s/80s cult Australian Tv show Prisoner  (released in the UK and USA as Prisoner: Cell Block H)  that ended up playing in repeat on late night Tv for decades afterwards. My brother even owns the DVD box set Thanks as always for stopping by. Grundomma salutes you : )

Bongo!

Time truly is our only enemy and I will try to find more in the new year.
Recorded on my daughter's 3/4 size classical guitar and a Jackson Pro.

I was reading an article recently where Billy Idol was describing his "California Sober" lifestyle and he provided some perfect lyrics for a piece I had written earlier this year.  Thank you Billy Idol!
