Purple Heart

The Wood Burning Savages -  Purple Heart

Here is a song breaking down exactly how I feel in this stage of my life as a light worker in such a dark industry. I don't know how all my idols got turned into something else but I can't give in and play "the game" I would much rather rip myself from this labyrinth of ego, manipulation and greed. Trust my fans and know that for the music I give them I can survive. I just want to jam with my friends in the woods, be liberated of the matrix, and leave the keys behind. 

Until then i promise you I never quit music, it just Takes one hell of a plan to move ice across the desert. I will protect my vision, I will deliver these messages, I will not be stopped.  



Will be playing in the woods, selling t's giving music for free and leading a career that actually helps people. No longer with LVRN no longer with Columbia. I now embark on a Journey aligned with my artistic purpose.

Come to the woods

Julia Gjertsen - The Fountain

Lyrics

The beat on the concrete, run
quicken the feet and blood,
Beckon breath to come.
Rattle of bone behind
Off-beat but keeping time,
That net ain’t mine.

While out on the water
a pull on the line,
and I take up from under
The cold, white gleam of bone tied. 

On to an empty road
Buildings left long ago
Concrete over-grown
The rattle of bone behind
I’m fading with the light, the light. 

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
Until sleep calls me home, singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

No Nail rest upon my hand
Took to a Northern land
Built a boat for man
Sailed upon the flood then came back when all was done
But that is only half a lie, half

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
’til sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

Fecund flesh, I’m breathing deeper this time
Made my arms, thighs stronger
Rooted to the earth I am fine
Made it like I never saw that sea
I feel the answer to all that these bones can be
I feel the answer to all that

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
’til sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

Feather and Bone

An introductory overview of the printed ballad in Ireland, this episode looks at the people who sang them, the people who sold them, the people who bought them and the people who hated them. Anyone wishing to investigate this topic further is strongly advised to take a look at Dr. John Moulden's authoritative thesis on the subject - 'The printed ballad in Ireland: a guide to the popular printing of songs in Ireland 1760-1920', which served as the basis for my own understanding of the subject.

Many thanks to all the performer's who gave their time to this project, namely; Seán Fitzgerald, Lugh Dias Santiago Ó Loinsigh, Cormac Mac Diarmada, Fergus Russell, Andreas Schulz, Thomas McCarthy, Ray Cuddihy, Conor  MacAdams, John Ahern, Graham Patterson, Alan Woods and Liam Crill.
