ACHES AND PAINS

DE RETOUR DE CIRRUS MINOR  
SOUS CE BON VIEUX GROS SOLEIL
MA MÉMOIRE ME RESSORT
LES PHOTOS DE LA CORBEILLE

COMME LA LAVE ET LE MAGMA
BAISENT AUX BASES DU VOLCAN
DANS LES BRUMES D’UMMAGUMMA
ON EN A FAIT AUTANT

JE RETROUVE TON JOLI CORPS
TOUS SES PLEINS SES DÉLIÉS
ET NOTRE EX AMOUR À MORT
QUE JE CROYAIS OUBLIÉ

DE RETOUR À CIRRUS MINOR
SUR LES SENTIERS DÉFONCÉS
DES AUBES MULTICOLORES
PAR NOS SENS ALAMBIQUÉES

ET DE MORE À NEVERMORE
LE TEMPS NOUS A VU PASSER
QUE SONT DEVENUS NOS CORPS
ASTRONOMY DOMINE

ET LA LAVE ET LE MAGMA
REJAILLISSENT DU VOLCAN
EMBRASANT LE PANORAMA
ON EN A FAIT AUTANT

LE VOLCAN (Lyrics)

***stellar version by Melt Motif https://soundcloud.com/meltmotif/the-city?si=261266da98d649d8803ab273dce239e5

(the limestone...is the limestone road in north belfast)

(improv lyrics)

o scrape out your bones
and sing out your song
for the shit that you dig up
the shit that went wrong
set sail for the future
and don't be lookin' back
when your nervous system
is under attack

(but) a paradise
under the sweet sun
where all the colours run
we find it in
the city

(when) paradise is (done)
and all leads are gone
we find it in
the city

today we were walkin
then we were drivin'
you said let's go out
up to the limestone
bar on the corner
fight in the street
and the ( fog-horn-ing ) silence
after the deed...ha!

don't settle down
don't wait around
cause you don't know what you find there
in the city

don't fall asleep
or you'll be sure to weep
your life away
down there
in the city
in the city

and all your dreams 
are like paper in the fire
remember the beginning
when you wanted to fly-y
over the sun
over the skyscrapers high
you were born for more than this..................

........./ but don't fall asleep
or you'll be sure to weep
salty tears
in the city

don't go away
cause it's midnight every day
somewhere
in the city

????????????
and oxygen masks
will fall into your lap
you'll be flyin high
when the world
gives it up

some---where
we can find a place
somewhere we can
get a breathing space

it's not beautiful
where we go
it's not sweet and pretty
but we'll find our fix
quarter to six
in the city

don't be late now
i won't wait now
don't be late no
i won't wait no
i'm goin away now
you should'a said now

i won't think of you
when i go back into
the city

the city

Most people write a love song about what they need from someone. This is a song about love. This is a real love song.

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you

Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you

Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted

I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
to live
to live

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

All I Need

Jim made an excellent backing for me to yodel along to and get a little hoarse. I shouldn't be doing this at my age, but couldn't resist!

Jim: all instruments
Nick: all vocals

This is just for fun, so no monetisation or downloads

Hope you're all looking forward to a better year
All Jim's music here @telefan
@one-other The Phaige helped with a rework of the beginning - thanks Gary

Be good

What a joy it is to live in this modern world where one can reach part way around the globe to collaborate with a fellow musician whose work you admire. I've admired Dag Olav Hermundstad's music from the first time I listened. His music often calls one of my favorite albums to mind "Nilsson Sings Newman". The same sharp songwriting and wit combined with an unfailing pop sense. Although in Dag's case he contributes both. I'm sure most of you are well aware of Dag's music but let me recommend this personal favorite https://soundcloud.com/dag-olav-hermundstad/15-minutes-would-also-do

I Will Follow You (featuring Dag Olav Hermundstad)

Thanks to my daughter Lucy for the lovely artwork I'm using here and my son Dylan who did the cool sound effect at the start of this track 😁 A lighthearted tune I wrote one day a few years ago when I was thinking in circles and feeling overwhelmed! I thought I'd record it again using audacity as it was one I always wanted to revisit and have some fun with, thanks for taking the time to listen, it means a lot to me 💜

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 : )
