Love this a very well written song and your voice sounds awesome on this one

Infatuation (1).mp3

Written for my mother Frances Anna Stephenson (Carlton before she was married to my Dad Alfred Patrick Stephenson
Fuk they were bloody good people, I am so lucky to have had their shelter
Im putting this one out to my Scouse brother in music Mr Ian McNabb who lost his dear mother of late
I know too well that bitter sweet experience, sweet linked to their angel flight and freedom after many years on this earth giving and loving unconditionally
With thanks and appreciation

Mother’s son   

When I’m talking to you Ma
I see your golden home
And I feel so proud and tall ya know
Just to be a Mothers son 
I don’t need no warrior in me
To get my message done
I am blessed to know the truth my love
And to be, a Mother’s son

Well I’ve been up here so long now
I call this exile home
Though the journey has been dark at times
Least I’ve seen my children grown
When the sun beats down so loathfully
Still I never feel alone
For I can stand here tall and proud and say
I am, my Mother’s son
 
The open Ross-shire skies they cry
Then skim a rosy dawn
And the tender lark she flies so high
Soon to be in bond
Just like your sweet medicine Ma 
I feel you call me home
For you have been the sail throughout my life
And I am proud, to be a Mother’s son

For Frances Anne Stephenson
24th October 1933/ March 2003

Rise Above The Noise

Australian group The Go-Betweens founding members Robert Forster and bandmate, the late Grant McLennan have been hailed as ‘the Lennon & McCartney of indie’
Their music inspiring bands from Franz Ferdinand to Teenage Fanclub and a favourite of music journalists.
But what has never been discussed before- is how Irish writers like James Joyce – whose work Grant and Robert studied in Queensland University – inspired The Go-Betweens to write about their own country, Australia in classic songs like Cattle and Cane.
Life long Go-Betweens fan and documentary maker Ken Sweeney, (RTE radio docs ‘REM Out Of Athens’ and ‘In Search Of The Blue Nile’) asked Robert Forster to join him at Beacon Studios in Dublin to tell their story and play some of the Go-Betweens classic songs on acoustic
guitar. But the 50 minute special also features, an unreleased interview Ken did with Grant McLennan in August 2000, prior to his death in May 2006.

Track 5 - Orgreave Shrine by Sally Barton

Sitting in the garden in gentle,tipsy contemplation

I Love Getting Quietly Drunk(acoustic)

Forget your digitally remastered CDs and 180g vinyl - this is what punk really sounded like at the time.
These John Peel sessions were recorded in 1977 from a tinny transistor radio onto the cheapest Boots C60 tape using a budget microphone and a portable cassette player.
As a 13/14 year old, this was the only affordable way to hear much of this stuff, and many of the songs were yet to be released officially.
The sound quality is dreadful - loads of wow, flutter, hiss and distortion - but that's the way we heard these tunes back then.
