LYRICS:
I’m rising up
Sometimes I wanna get away
But from the moment I met ya
I ran into fate
I ran into a brighter day


Like a cast away 
Sometimes I feel so separated
But I could never forget ya
That moonshine smile
Yeah you shine a little light on me


Send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle 
When I forget that feeling you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle 
So send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle
      

I’m rising up 
Sometimes I feel so far away         
But its like somebody sent ya
And I ran into fate
I ran into a brighter day

Now I’m fast awake
You’re love is like a revelator
Or a divine intervention
No way to explain
What’s happening inside of me


Send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle 
When I forget that feeling you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle 
So send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle


You’ve got me with my hands up!
You’ve got me seeing visions of love!

Yeah you’ve got me with my hands above my head
I never thought I’d be believing again


Send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle
Yeah you got me straight believing in a miracle, miracle, miracle 
When I forget that feeling you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle 
So send me your love again, cos you’re my miracle, miracle, miracle

KIMBRA - 'Miracle' (Live @ Radio NZ)

This song was based on a tape made at John Lennon's 31st Birthday Party in a Syracuse, NY hotel room.  Where John and Yoko were joined by Ringo and Maureen, Klaus Voorman, Allen Ginsberg, Jim Keltner, Mal Evans, Neil Aspinall and Eric Clapton.  The original indistinct underlying recording of 'Tandoori Chicken' was made on the 9th October 1971.  It was de-noised and normalised where the 'clean track' has had other instruments - Rhythm Guitar, 12-String, Bass & Goblet Drum added.  My first burst into a 'meaty accompaniment' with such esteemed company.  'Hope that you enjoy it?  :-R


Tandoori Chicken

1996 Performance with additional Vocals, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Fender HSS Stratocaster, Fender Std Telecaster and Goblet Drum.  'Certainly isn't 'Telstar'.  'Needs more work... :-R

Satellite

The first remix heavier on the Bass & Ukulele, inspired by chords on 'The Break's' kid's blackboard (March 2012) to write something new that's been rocking around in my head.  I suspect, it's like a plug to 'what lies beneath'. I turned the major and minor approaches by 'The Break' on their head and used "The Amazing Chord Gizmo" to assist in '...welding the loose-ends'.

"Don't fight forces, use them." - R. Buckminster Fuller.

Enjoy! :-R

Redrust

'A haunting' song...  A foolish arrangement of 'The Cure's' song of the same name, from 1992.  No supernatural themes here... not!  Embraced by 'six legs', when 'two', would do.  Although, it all sounds 'very temporary'.  'Life that is!  
I trust that you'll find this as eerie as I did?
Regards,
:-R

Foolish Arrangement

An ensemble 'cast' cover one Roy Orbison's last songs from Frankie Miller - 'Heartbreak Radio'. Comprising a Fender Stratocaster Custom, a Telecaster Custom II, an Ibanez Acoustic, Maton 12-String, Fender P-Bass and a Greg Bennett Baritone Uke sans vocals.

A continuing celebration of ...'the bloke's' 19th!

Kindest, :-R

Troubadours Cardiaques Rupture de Radio

In Memoriam to David Proffitt and Brian Jones.  Both much missed... 'Memories of playing this song in 'The Bandits' in the Coffee Club on Friday nights in the Balgowlah Scout Hall on Saturday nights, when we were just teenagers.

As Tears Go Brian

Raw, simple music not for the masses.  A personal voyage of rediscovery of retro classics and recent tunes tinged with new opportunities. Live and lightly edited.
