lyrics:

hey... my sister
won't you come to me
we can walk on the wet sand
and cry in the sea
hey... my sister
won't you come to me
i'll brush your hair
until you fall asleep.......

hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
we can sing in the kitchen
and howl at the moon
hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
and we'll dance in the forest
and sleep until noon...

and sleep until noon...

SLEEP LIKE YOU

For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?
For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?

Sleep Like You

For the ‘different’, people the ones who stood out, who didn’t fit in. The 'odd' ones who were picked on in school, distrusted as adults, stayed away from. Maybe you know them, maybe you are them. This is a song for them/us. 

Johnny and Mary found each other and in their own tiny world they allow each other to be who they are.

Delighted to share the guitar duties with the fantasitic Johnny Mc Farlane!  Thank you my friend.

Johnny & Mary

You lift in the spray sailing my way
You're not what you seem
You're a dream in the steam that's blowing away

Why do you sail after all?
Just to ride on the waves
Feel the rise and fall
Long before you embarked
You had already heard the call

Imagine the world beyond your view
Imagine being served in a way that suits you
Imagine this all coming true
Imagine it rolling your way
There you might stay

We live in the weave of a spell
Don't regret your demise
It was you who'd grow wise
So the visions propel

How will it end after all?
You would live in your dream
You would sail in my thrall
Long before you heard the call
You would live the fall

Now it's coming in view
And now will you stay true?
Imagine the final act of this play
Imagine it rolling your way
Here you might stay

Waiting to get my guitar back……I broke my wrist, 😡😡right hand, and I have at least 5 weeks if all goes well before I can play again….. I invite you to listen to this timeless  song,... A little throwback to the 75's, I was a fan of this great vocal group,Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young,. and naturally I wanted to share this title, as it is, without editing, the original sound……. was one of my first models made on Revox 2 tracks and Teac 4 tracks in 1975. Thank you for taking the time to listen to it and welcome to feedback( in case you enjoy)
Wish my best
En attendant de reprendre ma guitare……Je me suis cassé le poignet,😡😡main droite, et j’ en ai pour au moins pour 5 semaines si tout  va bien avant de pouvoir rejouer…..je vous invite a écouter ce titre chanté, Sanny, rappel de mon époque Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young… version originale d’ époque,(Année 75), sans retouche telle quelle …!c’était une de mes  premières maquettes réalisé  sur Revox 2 pistes et Teac 4 pistes en 1975.Merci de prendre le temps de l’ écouter et welcome aux feedback si ça vous plait.
je vous souhaite un excellent été.
Lyrics traduction
Sanny, Sanny, Sanny, I like your hair when it gets tangled
Sanny, Sanny, Sanny, your red lips taste like honey
Sanny stay right there against me
and above all don't talk
we are so good you and me
Sanny I don't know why,
but if we love each other, that's how it is
nothing but you and me
Backing vocals: nanana, nanana …….

Sanny, Sanny, Sanny, like in a dream I surprise you
Sanny, Sanny, Sanny, I put my lips on your forehead
above all darling don't wake up
how beautiful you are to look at
the moment is wonderful
darling especially do not blame me
this is how i want to love you
Coda:
backing vocals: Sanny Sanny Sanny, Sanny Sanny Sanny
honey i love you, (Sanny Sanny Sanny )
don't tell me anything, (Sanny Sanny Sanny ) above all don't wake up (Sanny Sanny Sanny)
that's all my dream (Sanny Sanny Sanny), honey I love you (Sanny Sanny Sanny)
guitar chorus…….

Thank You for listening.  I appreciate.

Believe it or not:
DRAWBRIDGE was created at my home studio and referenced a hugely popular pop song called Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo. The song sounds nothing like Driver's License but drew inspiration from this song's sound textures and arrangement. DRAWBRIDGE was crafted to deliver an emotional tension and buildup in a similar fashion.

Draw Bridge
By David Husted

V1
The universe gives up her memory
As time goes back to sleep
The Vast so relatively small before
The still begins to dream
Gravity reach out and compose               
A new cosmos, a new symphony
 
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received
 
V2
Without my thoughts this pen still writes
I will travel to the end 
Where time is running out, 
without traces , without breath
We dance between the atoms 
With the Shamans and Ignorance.    

We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything
And this new beginning is an old song received

ch

somehow I knew, I knew, but I could not cross that Bayou
This castle is magic please lower down that Drawbridge 
Space slept with time so fine just before the Big Bang
Then gravity and light beams exploded on the main screen

Star dust, black holes, white dwarf super nova
Then planets, imagine they somehow even managed to make us
Trees, this breeze, this miracle of life seething
Madly, so madly love lowered down that Drawbridge

outro
We presuppose our stories while we craft our little biographies
Shutting out infinities inside little rooms of quantum suffering
and who could have dreamed that our heart beats in everything                    
And this new beginning is an old song received  received
From before the next heart beat begins

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?

Smog Part One

The Music Video

Smog Part One (video on youtube)

Last month my friend Jeff/Stonerjazz sent me a preview of this song he was about to release (https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/01-i-still), and he was so kind to ask me if I wanted to add anything to it. We had been planning a collaboration for months, so I happily started to work on it, recording a few instrumental tracks. I got inspired from Jeff's amazing lyrics and vocal harmonies, and we're both happy about the way this tune turned out to sound.
A wonderful collaboration that we'd like to dedicate to all of you SoundCloud maestros, wishing everyone a happy new year. Peace, love and happiness...

LYRICS:

captured in the eddy of the river bright, the still life painted with the colors of the soul, the dead-eyed and the damaged wander through the landscape of the misty light without compassion for our plight.
even in the darkest night there’s drops of paint, notes from my guitar, and tiny light that usher in such lush delights, though worthless in the merchants eye, the maestro has the wings to fly…
it’s a big mess, got a hole in my chest, taken down and crushed like apples in a press, i confess to everything i’ve ever done. every single one of us… on the run.
when minds are quiet, the stink of revolution floats in the air, and the overlords they waste away in deep despair… slippin in the deep end not so quietly. fantastic sights!!
tin can rattle in the back, living in a tiny shack, standing in the middle of a two lane blacktop gazing at a cloud i saw some thirty years ago.
