Spektah (feat. Dr Carpets)

A taste of the some of the things to come, I've made a whole guitar based album, minimalist, relatively acoustic with a bit of electronic

Reflections (Acoustic Version)

First of 14 tracks I've written on the guitar, this is one of the lighter ones, with all the craziness in the world this is the desire to just get away and find somewhere to be free

Meet the funk folk hip hop creation that is Spring Ahoy
A positive celebration of outside life after the bleakness of winter
Guitars, Keys, Beats & Production by Rael
This is the second track of the 14 songs I've created around the guitar

Spring Ahoy

No more him
No more her
No more Miss
No more Sir
Blow a kiss
Make a stir
Make a wish
All a blur
And your right
Has been revoked
To laugh
And to joke
Burning chapels
Down in smoke
You must be woke
Can't say this
Can't say that
People hate
They don't chat
People break
People crack
Ignorant bliss
Don't think back
Remember the bad
Forget the good
Shoot the sad
Guess they would
Tear out the pages
Burn the books
Big tech crooks
Hung on hooks

Over and over again
Hunting down nobler men
Sending in Dobermen
When we gonna be sober again
Stoning them
Boulder them
Informers told on them
Punish them
Scolding them
History's gold again
Hate, we defeated it
But somebody retweeted it
Waving a feeble stick
Whack till I'm feeling sick
Page ripped as your reading it
Bloodthirst they needed it
Blackrock agreed to it
Overheat the fever hit
Keep it zipped down low
Eyes shut mouth sewed
Honour in your house glow
House of cards down blow
Seeds in the ground grow
Capitalist found dough
Round after round flows
That's how the sound goes

Just another John Doe
Sitting in the same row
Wish away the pain go
Give us back the rainbow
White privilege in a Glasgow slum
A dole queue  and a bacon bun
Government we can take them on
All be dead when the war has been won
I wanna swap my legs for my arms
WIth legs on my shoulders I'd have much more charm
Accept my choice
Don't dare to make fun
Employ me as a typist
You legaphobe scum

A song I made inspired in part by the Littlest Hobo series I watched as a kid and my series of short term jobs which became long term, also inspired by "Voyage au bout de la nuit"

Lyrics
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil hobo

Arrived on the scene with his eyes looking keen
Ordered to pick up the mop and go clean
Pecking the order at the pit of the team
Little by little they ripped up his dream
Bag on his back, not keen to go back
Walked through the city, the night that was black
Look for the train, go follow the track
Be a lone wolf don't go with the pack

A chercher des mille et les cents
Ou que garder ses dents on devient indécent
La vérité blesse, il vaut mieux que je mente
Du boulot au boulot ma chance que je tente
Bouger sans cesse juste pour changer d'air
Des vieux chagrins, des nouvelles misères
Pourchassé, poursuivi, un bouc émissaire
Un toit et à manger, le stricte nécessaire

On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Gradually becoming older and wary
Not knowing tomorrow, the unknown is scary
The life of the Hobo is unordinary
Most of these tasks do seem unnecessary

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Told them I'd only be there for a second
Passing my time 'till the next session beckons
Most of them don't really care what I reckon
My eyes supervise and they're constantly checking
Told them I'd only be there for a minute
Packed up the box where they told me to bring it
Can't understand it, I must be a cynic
Hand me a contract, I told them to bin it

On me l'a dit que les rêves s'oublient
De fil en aiguille tel les défunts parties
Changer d'air sans cesse, à se retourner sa veste
Délaissé, on te laisse, on se presse vers les pompes funestes
Fonce tout droit avec la tête à l'ouest
Grotesque, déteste comme la vie te teste
Creuses promesse aux enfants qui naissent sans richesse

Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Vagabonder avec un sac bondé
Pourchassé par chaque condé
Les semelles usées
Ras le sol les pieds
Les passants qui passent ne sont pas inquiets

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
