Appalchian Gothic done to perfection, again!

Nice song, has a natural raw quality, great guitar and vocals

I love the bluesy vibes in this. Very authentic blues.

"May the hell you gave me limp back to your door A huge hungry demon enraged"  Fire!!!

Lyrics

The moonlight on the cabaret
In a summer breeze.
All alone and day to day
Is what I need...
And I....whoa I...
I've never felt so free.

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' High...High...

The sunlight on the pillowcase
The moment in your eyes.
All alone and face to face
Below the sky.
And I...whoa I...
I feel like I could fly.

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' I...I...
I'm in love with you.

And I wannna run and tell you that you're in my soul.
What more can I do?
You've got a hold of me, what I need to know is...
Will you love me too?

And I'm Feelin' High....Oh I....
I'm waiting for your touch
And I'm thinkin' I....Oh I...
I'm ready for your love
And I'm Feelin' High...High...
I wanna touch the sky
I'm Feelin' I...I....
I'm in love with you.

I'm Feelin' I...I...
I wanna touch the sky.

I'm in love with you.

Good Morning Lassitude

Im Coming Home

Its been 2 long years with no contact
I sleep with one eye closed
The other one's half open 
To catch em coming if they get too close
The mushroom man said to hold your ground and listen to the hills
You cant talk to the spirits friend if your body's not still
and when the Kestrel flys the final run and nods his last farewell
I'll leave them only the beautiful, oh the stories they will tell
Scatter me in the fields of green and edge of river's flow
I have no fear for whats to come when it's time to go
and I won't worry
No, I wont worry
I wont worry
No I won't worry
I'm coming home.......

I Won't Worry

A Holds Worth of Elements

This is another tune I worked on last week when I was kidnapped, er, when I collaborated with Josh and his band of maniacal musicians.    These guys GIT R DUN I tell you . This one evolved lots just in the few days we worked it up.

Some people with SAD may have symptoms during the summer and feel better during the winter.

We Are The Light Bringers

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Minor Exotica (Turned To Black)

A boat, beneath a sunny sky
 Lingering onward dreamily
  In an evening of July
   Children three, nestled near
     Eager eye and willing ear
      
       Pleased a simple tale to hear
        Long has paled that sumer sky
         Echos fade and memories die
          Autumn frosts have slain July
           Still she haunts me, phantomwise
            Alice moving under skies
             Never seen by waking eyes
              Children yet the tale to hear
               Eager eye and willing ear
                
                Lovingly shall nestle near
                 In a wonderland they lie
                  Dreaming as the days go by 
                   Dreaming as the summers die
                    Ever drifting down the stream
                     Lingering in that Golden Gleam
                      Life, what is it but a dream

On The Same Planet

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

A dark bluesy number recorded years ago under a different project name “Father Stone & Mourning Son.”

Dred Fouglas: Guitar, Vox, Lyrics
Early Gancrowl: Harmony Vox, Mandolin, Super real rattlesnake noises


Lyrics:

A crooked moon has risen from your heart
Grinning through a midnight so unkind
I drag my heels down this sadly silent hill
alone to leave this crying soul behind

Gonna find me a graveyard
Gonna bury my head and rest 
‘neath a weathered tombstone unnamed
May the hell you gave me
limp back to your door
A huge hungry demon enraged

Do you hear me laughing, girl?
Laughing as I beg for death
Yeah, I know you’re moaning, girl
I can smell your sad harlot breath

Oh, soon you’ll miss me
Oh, soon you’ll miss me,
but I’ll be bones in the ground

Gonna Find Me A Graveyard

Inexplicably the man know as Dred Fouglas was born in the year 1913 to two women. In some strange way, they both gave birth to each half of his body. He was rightfully left in the woods at birth. In 1917 he was first documented crafting a stringed instrument from bailing twine and shovels. Feared by the town, he was persecuted and declared a "sheehogue" and a "vargulf" despite having 1 confirmed kill against a werewolf.  He fled the town to become an extra in the Roman Polanski film "Rosemary's Baby". Several years later he read from the Naturom Demonto in East Tennessee and began writing songs that are responsible for at least 13 killings. He now resides with his wife and 24 children in the suburbs of Port Banguss, Maine, smoking his pipe and writing gloomy music is his mildewy garage.

For some reason, I find it difficult to make comments here, except for Repost Exchange, so sorry if I don't reply to your comment. I have told SC.

I come from London, England where the cosmopolitan musical mix has been a melting pot of inspiration. I love many types of music from rock to reggae to jazz to just about anything. A good song is a good song in any genre! Many thanks to all those that listen, comment and repost!
