When we started this collaboration, like everyone on this planet, we were hit by the pandemic and the effects on our lives.  Earth stopped for a moment and we could feel her heartbeat ...and with it the will to overcome anything!

Lorsque nous avons commencé cette collaboration, comme tout le monde sur cette planète, on a été frappé par la pandémie est tout ce que ça a changé dans nos vies. La Terre s'est arrêtée pendant un moment et on pouvait ressentir son battement de coeur....et avec lui la volonté de tout surmonter!

Lyrics
All my friends are travellers
We don't often get to meet
But I know they're out there somewhere
And the knowing keeps me sweet

Now some go out in limousines
And some leave on there feet
And I never really feel as if they're gone
No I never really feel as if they're gone

Amanda's like my sister, and she's out there in L.A.
(sung Mahri's like my sister, and she's out in Frisco Bay)
But the wings of love fly straight and true
So we keep in touch that way
Now there's other friends, they're sensitive
I guess they'll use the phone someday
And we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on
Yes, we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on

Now the chain of love keeps growing
And the World keeps getting small
And soon there won't be room enough, to seperate us all
When the voice of love grows strong enough
It could break down any wall
And you'll hear it call....you'll hear it call

Now sometimes when I look ahead
I could cry at what I see
Some say it's an easy road
But it never was for me
The damage, is not half undone
And we've all got dues to pay
But we get the help we need, along the way...
Yes the light keeps growing stronger, everyday
Every day Yeh...growing stronger...chain of love...growing stronger

CHAIN OF LOVE (Lesley Duncan cover) With Glen Granthem

All rights reserved 9/7/2020

Late to the Show

You came in from the pouring rain
And stepped into the light...
Worn and frayed
That stormy night...

You slipped up to the microphone
Held with all your might
Quarter past ten
That Tuesday night....

The kit it fell silent
The bass man he froze 
Echos through the rafters
Straight to the soul...

The silence was so deafening
Until you let it go...
Rich and arresting
How could they know...

The teardrops rolled like thunder
From your eyes into theirs
Rivers of emotion 
For all to hear...

The kit it fell silent
The bass man he froze 
Echos through the rafters
Straight to the soul...

Late to the Show

From the album:
'All feel and no technique ' (2020)
I still believe in lost love. This song should feel like eavesdropping on a conversation

Lyrics:
I went down to that bookstore where you worked that summer
Sometimes, I'd go down 2 or 3 times a day
Just to hear all the crazy things you'd say
You told me that you were an "Abstract Impressionism Painter"
Whatever that means
And that painting that you made of me
It made me look more sad and depressed and strange than I really am
That little apartment that we had there on the beach
We'd watch the waves
And shoot the fireworks into the sky
Like a temporary joy
Catharsis and destroy

(chorus)
We seem to breathe a different air (2X)
Cerulean Blue, that's what I called you
Cerulean Blue

We were a mismatch
And you could see right through me
That day, you tried to dye your hair blue!
I said: " What is that color?'
(Azure? ) 
Cerulean blue
(chorus)
You're the most interesting person in my world

You had a painter's eye
I had novelist words
You told me that all my favorite songwriters
Have crappy, crappy singing voices!
I fell in love with you that entire summer
What's a stupid boy like me to do, Cerulean Blue?


Note: Some of my favorite songwriters with crappy voices
Dan Bejar (destroyer)
David Berman (Silver Jews)
Kurt Wagner (Lambchop)
Randy Newman
Mark Eitzel (American Music Club)
Check them out.

Cerulean Blue

Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

I Saw Jesus (Brian Peters)

I saw Jesus in a man who didn’t have a home
He was left to wander alone
Nowhere to go, no place to rest
And nothing secure
Jesus, won’t you be the door
Jesus, won’t you be the door

I saw Jesus in a woman holding empty hands
Living out of empty cans
Her children starve, it’s been a while 
Since they were fed
Jesus, won’t you be the bread
Jesus, won’t you be the bread

I saw Jesus in a boy within a prison cell
What he’s done he cannot tell
Accusers lie, and so his life
Will end at youth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth

[I saw Jesus in a little girl of eight
In her hands she held her fate
Away from home the city’s cold
But she must stay
Jesus, won’t you be the way
Jesus, won’t you be the way]*

I saw Jesus in a baby who has not a prayer
Death and illness ever near
May last the night,
Tomorrow baby won’t survive
Jesus, won’t you be the life
Jesus, won't you be the life

[I saw Jesus in a people living under siege
Never having what they need
Their lives have been a horror
Of eternal night
Jesus, won’t you be the light
Jesus, won’t you be the light]*

*omitted verses

I Saw Jesus

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ON SAIT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ILS SAVENT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

DES NOMS D’OISEAUX DES MOTS DE TROP ET DES GROS MOTS
POUR TROIS FOIS RIEN DU MOMENT QUE ÇA FAIT DU BIEN 
DE FAIRE DU MAL UN ANIMAL 
DEUX ANIMAUX

AVEC MA POULE C’EST UNE AFFAIRE QUI ROULE MAIS
DÈS QU’ON S’ENGUEULE
Y’ A TOUT QUI S’ÉCROULE EN SUCETTE EN SEMOULE OUAIS
TEL UN CRUMBLE

QU’EST-CE QUE T’AS DIT RÉPÈTE UN PEU J’VAIS TOUT CASSER
TU M’FAIS PAS PEUR D’ABORD C’EST TOI QU’A COMMENCÉ
ON A L’AIR FIN AH OUAIS ON A L’AIR BEAU À VOIR
DÉFIGURÉS LA BOUCHE ROUGE ET LES YEUX NOIRS OH

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ET QUAND ILS EN ONT ASSEZ
DE S’ENGUEULER
CHACUN SINGLE VA SE FAIRE VOIR DE SON CÔTÉ
POUR FAIRE LA GUEULE

DES LIONS DES MOUSTIQUES DES LYCAONS DES TIQUES
DES CHIENS QUI ABOIENT ET DES CHATTES HYSTÉRIQUES
VIOLENCES DOMESTIQUES QUI S’Y FROTTE S’Y PIQUE
DANSER LE TWIST ET LA SAMBA SUR UN FIL ÉLECTRIQUE

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

LES GENS S'ENGUEULENT - cats & dogs (Lyrics)

A cover (okay, let's call it a "remake") of the fabulous late-70s "E la luna bussò" by Loredana Berté. I used to play this one with a band a few years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the lyrics.

Obviously I have maneuvered myself out of the comfort zone once more --- apart from the usual walks on very thin ice with singing and trying to get meaningful notes out of a guitar, this time it is about Reggae and strings programming (both things that I have tried to avoid so far in my musical life). Anyway, if you think that violins and cellos do not fit to Reggae: yes, you are right.

Special thanks to Tyler Cressman for having proof-read the lyrics translation!

And the moon knock-knocked on the gloomy gates of darkness
"Come on let me in!" -- but they replied "no!"
So the moon went knockin' on the place where there was silence
But a rude voice yelled: "You're late and time's already up"
So the moon left the windows open and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From the ocean (you're nothing but a pond, man!)

And the moon knock-knocked on shaded glasses
But the look behind them didn't notice her
So the moon went and tried "knock-knock-knock-knock-knock" on a pool party
"Strictly members only, no exception for moons!"
So she rolled over champagne and caviar and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From a waiter
Oh no

But then down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
But then down there, where no moon needs to knock
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
And then down there, between tatters, tears and love
Where luck is luxury: there we need you, moon!
And yes down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
Between tatters, tears and rags, to let us fall in love:
there we need you, moon!

(ad libs)
Sidewalk boogie

And The Moon Knock-Knocked

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!

Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
