Lovely performance, great songwriting and a tale well told :)

A very well written song Graham, great story, sad ending :-( Like in the Movies , Johnny

Oh this is great Graham , absolutely love it , may 2024 be good for both of us !

enjoyed the story.....fun song...mission accomplished..Well Done

Wonderful narrative and descriptive song, Graham...cool lyric!!!

A great example of the "Swiss Army Knife" musical craftsmanship: songwriter, singer, musician and sound engineer. Nicely done, Graham!

If there was a cycle in which gravity changed, just as there was a change in temperature in a year ...

Ummm yeah, well these things just kinda take a life of their own.  This started out life as an innocent funk bass riff. More apocalyptic existential panic with a dash of Jansenism thrown in.

Save Me

you know I wonder how to fill out the days 
as I schedule my life in reverse
I'm highly aware of my failings 
and not sure if that's a blessing or curse

we're given the gift of this life
and still we find ourselves maligned
awash in a violent tide
how can this be

we're given the gift of this life
and turn away to choose the darkest side
is that all we see

save me from myself just one more time

toxic repercussions keep having their way
I mean like who knew 
as if the actions of today 
come back tomorrow looking for you

you start to feel like the world is unwinding
right before your eyes

and the way the tide is shifting
you're gonna need a place to run and hide

I knew a girl from another time in my life
she used to wake up and drink herself back to sleep at night
we showed each other just how low we both could climb
last I heard she's still alive 

won't you save me from myself just one more time

I wanna be free of the memories
of the worst of the human race right there living inside of me
I wanna believe that irrestible grace is coming after me
even if it wants my life

out there on the streets tonight 
so many souls are yearning for the light
how to win day from night
will we ever
I don't know what's there inside God's mind

how many times must we fall

Lyrics: 

There's a place I go
Not a place I know 
Wanna meet me there
. 
There's a place I go
Not a place you can know
Meet me anyway
. 
Abandon all thoughts
Reject all feelings
Leave the things you are taught
Don't give it meaning 
. 
Say my name
You know me
Hold my hand 
And never leave
. 
There's a place I go
Not a place I know 
Wanna meet me there
. 
There's a place I go
Not a place you can know
Meet me anyway
.  
Planting flowers in
This abandoned garden for
Future happiness
. 
Hope is a road
My heart is in your hands so
Never let me go. 
. 
Take my love
Put it in a form that can
Reach uncharted land oh
. 
Ponder road is 
Where hope and love flowers grow
Roots for tomorrow
.
Never again
Consult the moon and the stars
For matters of the heart
.
There's a place I go
Not a place I know 
Wanna meet me there
. 
There's a place I go
Not a place you can know
Meet me anyway
. 
-interlude-
.
There's a place I go
Not a place I know 
Wanna meet me
. 
There's a place I go
Not a place you can know
.

A man with a mission, like in the books you have read. (Lyrics below credits)

Our story begins many years ago,
On a moonlit night with the street lamps aglow
Enter a stranger, a tall man indeed,
He emerged from the station, looking hungry and lean,
Some saw him heading for the central cafe,
And later at the cemetery kneeling down to pray,
He continued his journey as the rain started down,
Not taking shelter like some misguided clown,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

He stopped only once to wring out his scarf,
Looking this way and that with a furtive glance,
Then in a phone booth he made a two minute call,
To whom, we must ponder the significance of it all,
He continued his journey and glanced at his watch,
The meaning was clear, no time to be lost,
So he quickened his pace looking up for a sign,
He was searching for something that can't be defined,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

He was approaching the dark house when events took a turn,
The man had to stop, maybe some doubts had returned,
He checked in his pockets to see if it was there,
But before he could be certain a sound shook the air,
It was the dead of the night when he witnessed the crime,
Though he thought he was mistaken and had misread the signs,
He heard several voices from the pool room inside,
But the shot that he heard was obscured by the 9:09,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

A car headlight cast his shadow on a wall,
Though you couldn't see it then his face told it all,
There where signs he was weary and nearing his goal,
But alas there's no end to this story being told,
Where did he go on that miserable night?
Was he travelling with intent or running in flight?
All that we know is what we read the next day,
A man in his prime found dead on the highway,

He's no longer walking right down the road,
But his collar's turned up his face never shown,
All of the time he still stared but was dead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

They looked in his pockets but could find no ID,
Just a man with a mission who died mysteriously,
They looked in his pockets but could find no ID,
Just a man with a mission who died mysteriously.

The Man With A Mission (Graham Williams)

Well - synths
Surfers like us - Guitar https://soundcloud.com/user-411502040/tracks
Our next journey is unusual, but necessary. And each of us should make it in our hearts, and then invite other people to join us on this journey - a journey to world peace. The problem is still very relevant!!!
    This piece is our tribute to the victims of the nuclear attack in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 year. It is also a cry and an appeal for world peace!

    Artur: When I got this intriguing synth track from my friend (Well) to record my guitar part, I was looking for the key to this song. Everything became clear after watching the film "Oppenheimer" by Christopher Nolan. I was deeply moved! May such a tragedy never happen again."
    Håkan: I made this synth track and sent it over to Artur, hoping he could use it. He envisioned this theme and everything fell into place.
 Let us all hope that this never will happen again. Join us i in our quest for world peace
Release date 21/11 2023

Thanks to Ben Bateman for his quick and efficient work on mastering my song.

First of all thanks for dropping in on my page.
I sing, write songs and play rhythm guitar. I'm trying to learn a bit of bass. People tell me I've got a reasonable voice and I have a liking for melody. As I make my way with multi-track home recording, I'm hoping the the end result will be greater than the sum of the parts!
So again, thanks for dropping by. Hopefully you will take a listen to some of my songs and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you could leave a comment.
