Siren Song is the 2nd track from the album 'Advice To The Wayfarer' (2014). All parts written and performed by Rowan Galagher. Lyrics "I've heard Mermaids calling each to each, they do not call to me" based on T.S. Eliot's <i>The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock</i>.

Lyrics:

We rain on your parade
‘Cause the games you play have casualties
The lunatics are lost
It doesn’t take a lot to become a martyr here

We’re further from the truth 
As you’re fighting nail and tooth to be in control
I’ve heard Mermaids calling each to each
They do not call to me if I’m in the boat

Siren song
It won’t be long 
Till they’re talking destiny 
The Leviathan is watching me
I’ve lost the will to be among living people

Broken sleep and broken dreams
Nothing here is as it seems
You can have high hopes
It takes more than a load off my back

To realise your dreams 
Not an ounce of levity till the attack
Round and round she goes
Where she stops nobody knows

Siren Song

Glass Empty

Time has made
Some big ugly scars
We are not the same anymore

Most of the time
We don't really care
But now and then we will not let go

Sometimes we go to dark places

Sometimes we fight
We both always lose
Talking doesn't always help

We drift away
And just try to sleep
Knowing this will never go away 

Sometimes we go to dark places

SometimesWeGoToDarkPlaces

in an accent long unspoken
in an ancient dialect
curses, blessings, symbols, token
the janitor, the architect
born to care and to dissect
and dream the dream of the unwoken

like a bird within a flight of thought
falling upwards, held within
an endless tunnel copper-wrought
bats, the arching acrobats and next of kin
to passage-dwellers of the interim
who cuddle up head-down and midnight-fraught

about to take flight to the light
like a silent spell and serpent word
burning brightly in the night
like a river’s moon shedding a midnight beam
sheathing the last, unseeing and unseen
sheathing the last remaining sword

Folkloricamenti  - Vol.2  ( Radio Alhara 2020 )

I got a new guitar the other day and when I played it, it had a crisp sound that made me come up with the funky opening riff without even thinking about it. Sometimes an instrument can just make me play something. :)
I played the driving guitar solo in one go on a friend's Les Paul. Again, I felt like I was just being made to play it.
I'm not good at keyboard solos, and I always struggle with them. (^_^;
It's been four months since I moved here after a job change, and I'd like to start playing in a band soon.
