Lyrics to The Northern Blues by Ice Cutters (Song About The Blues):

They say you can’t get over it,
As you breathe, the air is full of it,
Grey waters and seagulls flying above.
Junk cars and herbal remedies,
Tattoos on friendly enemies,
This pauper is slumming it oh for your love.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows its way to your heart; the northern blues.
I’m just alone in an odyssey,
One step from causing a mutiny,
Scapegoating has taken it out on the kid.
I think that they’ll get tired of it,
Grow up, and live their lives a bit,
The pots boiled, and now I’m lifting the lid.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows its way to your heart; the northern blues.
Instrumental
It’s not a big catastrophe,
No bones were broken, obviously,
A dark tailor stitches threads in my mind.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows it’s way to your heart, the northern blues.

The Northern Blues (Song About The Blues). New Songs 2018, Indie / Alternative Music

"Snowbound" single track release in advance of the forthcoming album "The Hollows", the long-awaited follow-up to "Songs from the Uglee Meadow".  Album set for release in Spring 2018 and will be available on all formats, including vinyl.

The wonderful artwork has been especially created for the track by Gavyn Dylan.  For more of his work, please go to https://www.facebook.com/BlackInkVoid/

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG...
Snowbound is a song of enchantment - the enchantress is weaving a spell of words, music and erotica around the lost knight who has stumbled across her cottage deep in the dark snowy forest.  Despite her solitude and powers, deep down she is lonely and is rather enjoying his company.  She is timeless, but using her powers she has ensured that she appears youthful and beautiful to him.  He has been trapped in enchantment for longer than he realises.  Every so often the veil thins and her magic weakens and she seeks to reassure him there is nowhere else he needs to be.  Like Arthur the Once and Future King, the horse he was riding is quite lost to the realm of fae.

Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting up the night, 
Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason 
standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight, 
Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason

And now I cannot quite decide if you were serious when you told me you were on your way around to mine, why am I staring at a blank computer terminal again on my Sunday to avoid your call?

I'm not even a massive fan of human interaction lately and that's not your fault at all.

Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
yeah tin metal cans gonna fly,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason

It's not a mystery when we are destined for decline that you would feel so sad, the existential burden everybody dies. I'm waiting for you. I can't afford you, and moving into your house it was the hardest thing.

I'm not even a massive fan of basic conversation lately and that's not your fault

Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
yeah tin metal cans gonna fly,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason

And I'm sure it's deliberately designed I slept on your floor on the last day of 1999.
And a mad social contract that we never signed, or saw or realised was planned for our minds..

Well like any of that mattered anyway, 
you're home 
were renegades 
in our minds.

I'm not done yet, just understand 
that you were watching a broken man 
I did my time
and had I been like you I might have shook that hand,
I could've took your paycheque in your bank wasteland, 
and I could've built my castle on your shifting sands 
and hanged.

Dear Absentee Creator

Dallas Knows the Reason

download

Shoreline

Adding more blues to your winter blues

Christmas in the lights
It's so cold at night
I am there
He said he won't bite
She said that he might
I am there

I am the only one
I am the only one

Season in decay
Feel so far away
Where's the road
Could you please relay
That there's some delay
Getting home

I am the only one
I am the only one
I can count on
I can count on

I know I'm not perfect
But I keep trying to be
I know I'm acting like a freak

Mistletoe is dead
It's all in your head
Let it go
Needles on the floor
Needlessly unsure
Where's the road?

Oh watch the snowfall
It looks so perfect to me
All the world's imperfections
Covered by a sheet

And I know it's not right

No Conditions

Check out a our first official single "Far Away". To be released on the 19th of January 2018. Enjoy!

Far Away

You’re just the rebel that they tolerate
Another useful idiot
You wouldn’t know tyranny, if a jackboot stood on your
Throat

You’re just trippin’ over the invisible
In a race to the bottom
You wouldn’t know tyranny, if a jackboot stood on your
Throat

The spectacle of inclusion!
Seduced by slogans n’ drunk on certainty
Privileged cowards and moral oligarchs
A zealotry of sterility
The triumph of hysteria!

Jackboot

I found a crazy sample in one of my purchased sample packs.
Then I build a melody around it.
M1 Piano, Lounge lizard Guitar, M1 Percussion organ, Serum for all of the other sounds. I am excited for you to hear this one.
Let me know what you think of this one.

SUBTITLES - HORIZONTAL

Can you see us
Can you see us
Can you see beyond your own lie
See us whole and not a fraction
Your policy is take a hard line
You talk in numbers
Numbers only
For confirmation that you're right every time
You can be blamed for 
Your isolation
Or the feeling that you're dead inside

Lucky You
Lucky You

The higher fences
The hilltop houses
I read about it in a magazine
You hold the cards and
You've got the money
Subjugation is just part of the deal
You can't be blamed for 
Your isolation
The world keeps turning but it's no longer real
Complicit network 
Of secrets kept and
I'm not gonna be a part of your dream

Lucky You
Lucky You

Lucky You

Chemistry 101 -  A Biochemical Romance

Lyrics

Activated complex in the midnight club
Set aside the anion, it's the blowout hub
Combustion of the beats amid the dipole horde 
Dissipating splash, as the drinks are poured

CHORUS
Electromotive force in the beauty of your eyes
The Joules when we touch, could light up the skies 

The osmosis of this yearning can transmute our state
A coproduction of destiny and our binary fate

As the hour descends to the abyssal zone
Darwinian fitness enlivens to set the tone
Rip current of amour flooding through our veins
Efferent from the darkness, solitude and pain

Haywire kinetics, and rising Kelvin scale
Metalloid charms of state-of-matter males
Yet somehow we found each other, an unlikely single bond
A study in thermodynamics, the quarks of love beyond
  
CHORUS

Intramolecular forces and an exothermic kiss
Our inhibitions electrolysed, the accretion of bliss

The mysteries of my universe, are locked within your soul
Will you join me on this journey into the unknown?

Megalithic - Chemistry 101
