Fast Train

The morning sun has lost its warmth
There’s a coolness in the air
Shadows lengthen in the street
On branches that are bare

A frost lies gentle on the grass
The smell of burning leaves
Each night hangs heavier in our bones
As we rise
To brush our teeth

The train pulls in at half past eight
We file into the aisles
Hanging from the rails and straps
We’re rocked from side to side

The backs of houses pass us by
A hundred stories to unfold
As the wheels thunder on the tracks
And we try to keep control 

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

A woman’s crying next to me
Tears drop into her coffee cup
Strangers crowd and try to help
And all our eyes are welling up

Her shoulders shake with every sob
We all stand and watch in awe
As things fall apart
In carriage number four

Now smile
Because the world it needs to laugh
Stay  awhile
Your stations just gone past
This train’s too fast

POEM:

INTO_SUN_GLOW

I sweep the clouds
from the busy roads
fog is getting darker
sun’s a tiny light

Look out of the window
what do you see?

1000 lives moving
into the night again

as the birds are dying slowly
all the thoughts in my head
burning down like candles in a storm

in a quiet room I sit at dawn
of bleak memories
lead me back to the place I was born
disturb my inner peace

as the rain keeps crashing down
wired words above the ground
interfacing souls to feel alive
bound on darkened diamond moons
shape tomorrow’s healing wounds

sun will glow in the darkness for you

INTO_SUN_GLOW with INTERpEST

I am glad to release this new track, composed on the great lyrics written by https://soundcloud.com/lukowig

Thanks to him for providing me (for the 2nd time) with great french lyrics

Translation in english is below french lyrics


On se craint
on se croche
on s'étreint
on s'accroche
et puis plus rien...

Plus rien
plus de rire
plus de liens
notre bâtisse de pierres
s'effondre à terre...
Plus rien
dans nos mains
plus aucun
lendemain
et ça va faut l'dire
de pire en pire...

On s'effraie :
bas les mains !
On se fraie
un chemin
vers quoi ? Vers rien...

Plus rien...
Même plus faim.
Plus rien
que la fin
d'un chemin
menant sur rien...

-------------------------------------------


We fear each other
we hook each other
we embrace
we cling to each other
and then nothing...

Nothing more
no more laughter
no more ties
our stone building
collapses to the ground...
Nothing more
in our hands
no more
tomorrow
and it goes on
worse and worse...

We are afraid:
Hands off!
We make our way
a way
towards what ? To nothing...

Nothing anymore...
Not even hungry anymore.
Nothing more
than the end
of a path
leading to nothing...

Plus rien

Plus Rien

Waiting for Summer

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

Lyrics:

All those efforts to hide
Show my exposed side
I'm behind that mask, behind that wall
You go left and I dodge right
As long as you're chasing me, it's alright
At least I can choose to be alone
It's when no one's left that I'm on my own

Thank you very much Paul for your great inspiration :)

Lyrics
Autumn Child

I bet you gonna go,
never coming back.
I heard it all before
but that's no problem
taking the road of relief.

Autumn child lying in the sun
waiting for time to turn around

I bet you gonna see
that Paris sky line rising
above the river Seine,
that flows on by
Take in that morning renewed

Autumn child
lying in the sun
waiting for time to turn around
don't sell your soul for a short kind of fun
Why don't you try to turn around.


Autumn child
lying in the sun.

Autumnchild feat. Mark Hoogslag & Pleudoniem (Album Forest run)

Fairfield Four with groove from Tumblin by Little Dark One.

My God Called me this Morning (Fairfield Four mash)

Hey all, here is my first new song of 2015.

This is a strange one to kick things off. It falls under the category of what I describe as ‘fever dream’ music.

“The God In Me Just Evaporated” is a strange mix of blues, electro, disco, post punk and maybe a bit of ambient for good measure. It came about pretty organically as bits and pieces started to merge together to form a picture.

The song was inspired by my home country of Australia. I don’t often write about Australia as everywhere else always seems a lot more exciting to me – you know, the grass is always greener. Anyway, what you quickly discover about Australia is that once you leave civilization (i.e. Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane etc) and venture into the outback it can become a pretty terrifying place. If something can bite you, poison you, eat you, break you or generally scare the hell out of you it resides down under. Make no mistake, Australia is unforgiving. 

Importantly, there is a real sense of isolation in the Australian outback. I’ve been around and to me it is different to any other desert or landscape anywhere in the world. It is alien. It feels like nothing has ever existed out there. It feels like a land before time. I’ve heard someone describe as being older than God.

With that in mind, I was also inspired by the brilliant 2005 John Hillcoat film ‘The Proposition’ and its idea that God does not exist in the outback – that the land sucks any belief out of you (i.e. the God in me just evaporated). I actually sampled the film. You can hear Guy Pearce and the beyond incredible John Hurt conversing. I tried to write lyrics that reflect the feeling of their conversation.  I don’t know... You’ll get the idea. It is more about mood.

I think the music does a good job communicating vastness. I also give my old Guild 12 string a workout which I haven’t used in a while. Think I’ll end up using it a lot more this year.

I like this one.

Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS...

Mr Lamb:

"Russia, China, The Congo... Oh, I have travelled among unknown people in lands beyond the sea.

But nothing! Nothing could have prepared me for this God forsaken hole."

East Village Vampire:

I am lost in a shroud of stars
I am lost and on my own
Feel it leaving me behind
Soon the land will claim my bones
Because there's nothing out here to find
No there's nothing but sand and stone
And those birds circling the sky
Will never point the way back home
See them turn and turn and turn
See them turn and turn and turn

Charlie Burns:

"Do you pray Mr. Lamb?"

Mr. Lamb:

"Good lord son no I do not!

I was in days gone by a believer, but alas I came to this beleaguered land and the God in me just evaporated..."

The East Village Vampire:

I feel all God leaving my soul
I feel the city lights fading away
And all memory of you will dissolve
but the scars will always remain
And the land is looking for blood
And it knows that's what it will find
And those birds keep circling the sky
See them turn and turn and turn
See them turn and turn and turn

See them turn and turn and turn
See them turn and turn and turn



The God In Me Just Evaporated

We sincerely thank everyone who actually listens and likes our music.
But unfortunately due to the rat race of life. We haven't always got time to reply back. We really do appreciate it.
splintered finger is a collaboration between martin reed and marcus swambo. our aim is to showcase some of the  music we have been producing recently and over the last twenty years. our love of music has many different influences. Hence the 4 differant platforms. You can find martin reeds own music under the name, where He put His Stuff & All of our Collaborator's under One Umbrella https://soundcloud.com/its-tophonicus. and another collaboration between martin and myself which you may find under the name the fudge nuts.https://soundcloud.com/helenswambo
some tracks have been recorded using low budget equipment such as tape multi-tracking. hence some tracks may not be great quality. 
hope you enjoy our music as much as we did when creating it.

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
