Forever

Where Peaceful Waters Flow  ft. Stephanie Barbutova

Still here, dancing at the end of time.  Here is a ditty. Love..Love...Love.

Halloween in the Suburbs.  ( Stevek )

Written by Leiber & Stoller, It was initially recorded by R&B duo, Willy & Ruth, in 1954, then by Elvis in  1956. The genius of Lieber's lyrics were that they usually finished early leaving room for theatrics, something Elvis excelled in.

Treat Me Like A Fool (Leiber & Stoller)

900 Miles  was first recorded and released by Fiddlin' John Carson in 1924. A traditional folk song recorded by numerous musicians.  Over 115 cover versions or more from artists such as Barbara Dane (great version), Bob Dylan, Dion, Bert Jansch and Woody Guthrie recorded it.  For me (though I can’t claim to have heard every version)my favorite is Terry Callier’s beautiful folk ballad. Not on SoundCloud but on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qVTVoMlg5D4

900 Miles - JTSunrise Version:

Well I'm rollin’ down this track
Tears in my eyes
Trying to read a letter from back home
If this train’s runnin’ right
I should be home tonight, O Lord
I'm nine hundred miles from my home

Well this train I’m on
She’s a hundred boxcars long
They can hear her whistle blow for fifteen miles
If this train’s runnin’ right
I should be home tonight, O Lord
I'm five hundred miles from my home

Well, I pawned my watch
And I pawned my chain 
I'll even pawned my old guns and rings
If this train’s runnin’ right
I should be home tonight, O Lord
I'm one hundred miles from my home

This train I’m on
She’s a hundred boxcars long
They can hear her whistle blow for fifteen miles
If this train’s runnin’ right
I should be home tonight 
I'm sixteen miles from my home
Lord I know the’ll hear that whistle blow 
Lord I hope to hear that whistle (whistle blowing)

My version is about a hobo catching his last train home. This is called the West Train. For my first seventeen years I grew up in a small house on a horse farm a few hundred feet away from the C&NW line in rural Illinois. Now in my 50s with a hard drive full of memories - I dream of hopping a freight train whenever I see one and for it to take me to my old family house next to the tracks where my mom would be in the pasture with her horses. Living there I always knew which trains were coming or passing by the way the trains would rumble and rattle the house. If the pots in the kitchen were clinking a big slow freighter was headed east towards the Barrington rail yard outside of Chicago. For me hopping night trains in the summer was a way to escape many things.

In an article that appears with a transcription of this folk song, Cisco Houston writes: 

“A folk song is a way of singing out the news—news of a wedding, a murder—good times or bad times—good people and bad people. It’s one way of making a record of memorable things that happened. In the days before newspapers, and among people who couldn’t have read them even if they existed, the folk song was a kind of chronicle and running commentary on the times. Many of them have lived for years, while nothing is more dead than yesterday’s newspapers. The folk songs and story ballads were not the most accurate kind of history of course, because once the event, whatever it was, had been recorded, generations of singers went on elaborating and changing the song— smoothing it out, or shaping it up to suit their own ideas of how the event might have happened. Often, the event which started the song was blurred or lost as time went on. The song then took on its own independent life. Aristotle said in his poetics, that art is truer than history because it shows what should have happened rather than simply what did happen.”

CRAZY

Original Dreadful Fouglas tune. 


Lyrics:

She left last night, shaken up inside 
Woke the angry hive in her stomach
Buzzing throat, suicide note
Crying on the shoulder of her conscience 
Three young shades floating in the rain
Following the blade in her pocket
She left last night and terrible scene behind 
Crying on the picture in her locket 

We all crack eventually 
We all crack eventually 

He drank last night then went for a drive
Riding that high down the mountain
Spinning head, swerving ‘round the bends
All the money spent in his wallet
One wedding ring, a pretty blonde thing,
nice and distracting from those problems
He drank last night, but did not survive
the tree that missed his eyes at the bottom

We all crack eventually 
We all crack eventually 
We all crack eventually 
We all crack eventually

We All Crack

FOR YESTERDAY

Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good
Yesterday felt so easy
Yesterday felt so good

Walked to the gate
Not a worry in the sky
Turned to my baby and I waved her goodbye
Saw her through the window
Sweet tear in her eye
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

I picked up the phone
Dialed a memorized number
Told her I love her didn’t talk about the weather
Sat at my desk
Wrote the first of many letters
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good

I went to the bar
Started talking to my neighbor
Nobody thought I was a sicko stranger
Didn’t think twice
I gave my name and number
Oh I long for yesterday
I long for yesterday
Yesterday
I long for yesterday

It was so easy
It was so good
It was so easy
It was so good

For Yesterday Scantily Clad

lyrics to sixteen worlds away


Let us glve you what we've got
there's no reason for the things that broke your heart
that was the last thing that he sa!d 

l'm feeling pretty good
considering the circumstance
he sald with a sigh

he got a little Jaded
he decided joy and pa!n
both were slightly somewhat overrated
Simply incidental to existence ln the Ether

she was standing on the road ln the Rags of her remorse
eyes so Bright
and on her golden platform ln the 
mud of what was Lost

l'm sixteen worlds away from you
she sa!d
l know lt's hard to get lt through your head

l'm here and there
and lt's getting difficult 
to keep my continuity-
(for reasons that are not exactly clear to me)

Sixteen Worlds Away

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

A Fucked Up Lovesong

Our new single 'Tennessee' is a song we wrote after returning from finishing off our second record on Nashville's Music Row. When we returned we had a strange mix of feelings - we wanted to be a part of the Nashville scene but we knew we were never really from that world - and we saw loads of other UK artists that wanted so much to be a part of that scene that they built up a pastiche of it here in the UK. We've tried to reflect this conflict whilst staying true to our roots.

Tennessee
