A deeply contemplative space 🤍 Really enjoying this 🤍

Love those chords on top, two layers of movement

Brilliant and emotional piece out of the box!

very interesting sound combinations - Tá mé ar bís

A deliberate and interesting mood and feel, cool how it unfolds!

You Said That You Would Like It If I Hung Around(Damhsa An Damháin Alla)

November 2023. I removed the cover of my 40 year old Roland U20, blew the dust off the keys and played the first notes after decades of silence. A first glimpse to the past and to the future at the same time.

Lyrics

We all have to be
Alone with our identity 
Oh, we all have to be living in the real
So when, this world, kicks its cruel dirt in your eyes, dear
Never fear
Cos you're my hero. 
.
He sits alone
With his guitar and his phone
And suddenly, suddenly, he knows
Oh he sits alone, chews on his pen
Writing this makes him feel alone again. 
.
He sits alone 
Staring into space
And once again, once again, he knows
As he sits alone, playing his guitar, oh
All his knowing shows
.
Run away with me, darling, he sings.
And suddenly, the whole damn world is his
He says, run away with me darling cos I'm real
And suddenly, the whole damn world can feel what he feels.
.
We all have to be 
Alone with our identity 
We all have to be living in the real
So when, this world, kicks its cruel dirt in your eyes, dear
Never fear
Cos you're my hero.
.
You're my hero
You're my hero
You're my hero
You're my hero
.
He sits alone
With his guitar and his phone
And suddenly, suddenly, he knows
Oh he sits alone, chews on his pen, 
Writing this makes him feel alone again.
.
He sits alone 
Staring into space
And once again, once again, he knows
As he sits alone, playing his guitar, oh
All his knowing shows
.
He knows this, he knows this, he knows
He knows this, he knows this, he knows
He knows this, he knows this, he knows
But today he made, the whole damn world, feel like hero's
.

Lyrics:

Sometimes words are thrown out just to hurt someone..
Sometimes you act without thinking it through..

Talking, walking, telling, whispering, acting, yelling
No matter what you do

Everything you do will have consequences
Everything you say can hit back on you
Karma is a bitch, so you better start thinking
And control what comes out of you..

So think before you speak, words can really hurt
Think before you act, your actions can too
Cause karma is a bitch, and all that comes out
Can turn around quickly and get back at you..

Talking, walking, telling, whispering, acting, yelling
No matter what you do

Everything you do will have consequences
Everything you say can hit back on you
Karma is a bitch, so you better start thinking
And control what comes out of you..

Everything you do will have consequences
Everything you say can hit back on you
Karma is a bitch, so you better start thinking
And control what comes out of you..

Karma Is A Bitch

I threw a box of primary school instruments at The Waterboys' This is the Sea!
This is one of my favourite songfs in the world- it's been with me since teenage years. There's no point trying to get the epic majesty of the original so did something different with it- a little bit funky with a touch of early Floyd psych perhaps.

This is the Sea

Inspired by my Grandfather, Bill Stapleton. A true genius in many realms of thinking.... Including poetry. Thanks Papa

Tuning 432Hz A and Capo 2

For this one I'll choose a golden ratio nugget to project. So, if you notice in the pic of a random bit of wood on my studio desk.... A tree knot of a branch and when a GR curve is offered the edge of the curve meets the annual ring of the tree when centred on the knot... A subtle nature symmetry or whatever... The golden ratio fascinates me so I love including it in my tunes wherever possible as we find it in so many amazing places shapes and physical things across the world and beyond!

According to ze i-n-t-e-r-n-e-t...
"The golden ratio is the precise point at which the modified heat of a black hole goes from positive to negative, and it is part of the equation for the lower constraint on black hole entropy. The golden ratio is the relationship between the loop quantum gravity parameter and black hole entropy."

https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=124651#:~:text=The%20golden%20ratio%20is%20the%20precise%20point%20at%20which%20the,parameter%20and%20black%20hole%20entropy.
Thats a good read. Pinches of salt all round but sure it's all good stuff...

Lyrics

Ahoo ha! 

They say it started with a blast
Our universe in distant past
I search the sky I search the trees
But only laughing beauties tease
Oh! God who wrought this mighty task
What size are You? I fondly ask
A galaxy infinity
What proof of your ability!

So feeble is my understanding
Of Thee and the stars so long expanding
Oh! fury of this recondite
When will this mystery come to light
Why wonder at a galaxy
When we as yet don’t know the bee
How could it be that from one bang
Alone all natures music rang 

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass into the future
It's Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passing to be future 

What mysteries do we tread upon
When daisy heads we trample on
Alas no greater is the deed
That you can make a star or seed
Oh! cruel short chain of lexicon
Can’t I express this God an’ sun
To look into the deep devide
And tell what secrecy it hides 

To see the way the skies obey
Or ponder over Saturn’s Rhea
To marvel at the sun on fire
Or look to Mars revolving mire
Or see the Moon’s majestic eye
As she protects the starry sky
If I could but explain a tree
Then I could solve this mystery
Waiting answer will not be long
God will tell me when I’m gone


It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass it to the future
“I’ve got Mum safe an' sound” 

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passed to the future 

There there sons
and our little girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one” 

Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passing to the future
Ah ha ha ha
Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passed into the future
Ah ha ha ha

Notes (this is from the original behind the track... just me in this version)
This song is built on a poem written in 1969 by my Grandad, Bill Stapleton. He used to say Ahoo Ha and his kids used to say it too after he passed away. He setup the very first recording studio in Ireland in the 1940's and travelled the country recording trad musicians. He went on to have great success setting up film studios meaning he pioneered two industries on the emerald isle. He was a true genius and way ahead of his time. He is still inspiring us 40 years after his death. When making the song I decided to bring in my Nana also to pay homage to her. she was a wonderful pianist and gave me my first few lessons. I've incorporated as many of their children and grandchildren into the song saying Ahoo Ha as I could so we end up with three generations of his blood relatives included in the piece ♾️
The mere mortal words I added are imagining what he would say to his kids from heaven!

Thanks to  the music-makers ,theirs is the universe of bass and treble ,space and time ,creators of new energies ,free to imagine a world of harmonic structure and dissonant entropy.
I love listening to all the music posted and thanks for listening to mine.
