HEY LOVE YOU!

Hey love you                                                      
More than LC would’ve craved for Marianne                 
No manuscript could sing with more devotion 
A paper chain enough to fill an ocean                    
I’m always up so close and being dutiful.      
Yeah I fix your hair and say you’re beautiful.   
Yeah I fix your hair and say you’re beautiful            
Mmmm breath you in ‘til I’m insensible   

Hey love you 
Like we’re barefoot down a street in Hydra 
It’s feet on top of feet in café’s shadows
I hear applause and faintly drifting cello 
In sticky heat our limbs are stuck like glue
And I kiss your brow and murmur hey I love you
Yeah I kiss your brow and murmur hey love you
Mmmm taste your cheek ‘til I’m insensible

Hey love you 
Bathe your flashin’ teeth in tangerine
The last of breezes scurry into hiding
Nights are satin sheets with harbour lighting
I’m layin’ out your silk across the dresser
I hold you close knowing it’s forever
Yeah I hold you close knowing it’s forever 
Mmmm moving slow ‘til I’m insensible

HEY LOVE YOU

Perhaps we humans have given that halo of mystery to the crows amazed by their intelligence.

DARK CITY RAVEN

Budapest - George Ezra "Acoustic Version" By Soli Ko

a song about walking up the street finding out about the peace in N. Ireland and the weary anteclimax for those who had been born into the conflict...a bit silly but it was a straaange feeling, so this is the memory of passing thoughts on that walk

________________________________

and i never thought
that this day would come
now god is happy again
up above
and lovers can love

a rainbow overhead
the smell of baking bread
in the morning
and in the sky
a hopeful dove

and....it's over?

and to those who were in command
you hit your targets
and yer boxes got ticked

you hit the other side
where they didn't want
hit

you evened up the score
hell maybe you even
went ahead

now
you can all get together
and speak about
your 'regrets for the dead'

cause it's over....


i was walking up
the donegall road
when i heard the news
on the radio

out of a cafe
between the teas
the coffees
and the sodas filled right up 🍞

give me an extra sticky bun🍰
cause i never felt this day would come
what is this strange new day?
i've never known it any other way

may the new sun burn
and the little dove soar
and you can leave me here
just a dinosaur

i'll tell my truth
just the things i saw

now the music's stopped
and the lights are low

the past is like a big cake
and everyone wants a share

maybe this green
can be
a wonderland
again

wonderland

walking in wonderland

Well i wrote this song for the Rolling Stones if they should ever get around to listening to it,  i have always been a big fan so i decided to mix a bit of Gospel, a bit of Blues and Hey presto a new song for Mick and Keith. In true Keith Richard tradition i took my Bass E string off and tuned the guitar to key of G. The main guitar is the Bridge pick up on the Les Paul giving a nice rounded sound and the lead is the bridge pick up more giving a more trebly and cutting through the mix a bit. No processing all clean as they sound. My vocals have a bit of Saturation and distortion and Compression to give me that bluesy sound, hope you'll like it and Mick & Keith if your out there let me know how i did..

Written by Johnny Mc Farlane for the Rolling Stones.

Wash My Soul in the River

The first song I learned to play on the melodica as a kid.

Καλήν εσπέραν άρχοντες, αν είναι ορισμός σας, Χριστού την Θείαν γέννησιν, να πω στ' αρχοντικό σας.
Χριστός γεννάται σήμερον, εν Βηθλεέμ τη πόλη, οι ουρανοί αγάλλονται, χαίρει η φύσις όλη.
Εν τω σπηλαίω τίκτεται, εν φάτνη των αλόγων, ο βασιλεύς των ουρανών, και ποιητής των όλων.

Good morning, good people, and if you so desire, can tell you of Jesus’ Holy birth.
Christ is born this day in Bethlehem and the heavens and whole earth rejoice.
In a manger in a stable is born the King of the universe and Creator of the world.
And the multitude of the Heavenly Host is praising God and singing “Glory to God in the highest…”

Greek Christmas Carols - Κάλαντα Χριστουγέννων (GR trad cover) >>> video

This is an original love song that recalls such a vivid passion that he temps fate by dare asking if all these years later it could be reignited. Despite all odds, he ponders the seemingly impossible.

Lyrics:    Like We Could by Craig Durgy

I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we, 
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we, 
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just, 
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like, 
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Like We Could

Here is a new track I wrote and recorded.

The song was written as part of a concept album that I started a year or so ago. I may never actually record the full album but might release the songs over time. The album was going to be about my ancestors living in Newfoundland and the stories i heard over the years.

This one is about the story of how Braggs Island (where my grandfather was born) got its name. I heard the story from my late cousin Sam Feltham. He said there was a small community living on the Island and one tough winter they ran out of supplies and were in a bad way. A man named Bragg and his two sons loaded a boat with supplies and attempted to bring relief to them. In the process and storm developed and the ship sank and Bragg and his sons were drowned. They named the Island after them in honor of the selfless sacrifice they made.

I tried to capture with sound the feeling of sailing on icy seas. Also I wanted to tell the story in an artistic way. Not sure if the song is any good but hope some of you enjoy it.

Collaborations welcome, if you think you can add something to any of my songs, want to sing them, etc, please drop me a note
I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the good stuff going on in the lower frequencies. You don't want to only hear half of the music : )
