Footnote (the words)

So sad just so sad isn’t it
So bad not so bad wasn’t it

Why all this disdain
Why not just explain
The reason for the goodbye that you’re sending

Too far gone too far hasn’t it
You are what you are think of it

That’s why these remarks
That’s why flying sparks
Creating all this torment you’re defending

Chorus
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life
Once the headline of your day
Now the bottom of the page
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life
Once the signpost you looked for
Now a reference point no more
Didn’t want to be the footnote of your life

OK not OK stop it now
This way why this way why and how

Fake became pretend
Love collides the end
The reason for the goodbye that you’re sending

Chorus

It is what it is where’s the blame
Last kiss the last kiss such a shame

Heaven can’t avenge
Hell will take revenge
Creating all this torment you’re defending

Chorus

Jaycee showreel 2022.mp3

A melancholic, contemplative, somewhat eerie, frankly irregular piece for solo piano.

Time (2014 remastered version)

This is a teaser for the brand new progressive rock album from Tiger Moth Tales. Now available from www.whiteknightrecords.co.uk
In February 2015, Pete Jones the man behind Tiger Moth Tales began the challenge of writing and recording a brand new album in one month. The inspiration came from the RPM challenge which encourages bands and artists to do this every year in the month of February. 
"It's a great way to get the creative juices flowing. You dont have time to go back and revise things, or to think too much about whether what you're doing is right. You just have to go for it, and the results were surprising." (Pete) 
The album (Story Tellers - Part 1) has a theme of classic  children's stories, and the tracks are musical tributes to those stories and their authors. 
Pete runs the full gamut of emotions here, 	from the grace and poignance of Beauty Sleeps, to  the zany madness of A Kids tale, from tragedy to celebration. You'll find it all in Story Tellers.
"Those who enjoyed the last album Cocoon will hopefully get a lot out of Story Tellers, though there is more wacky stuff on the new album. To write and record an album in a month is quite an intense process. It's possible I went a bit mad while writing it, but I'm so glad I saw it through and I hope others will enjoy it." (Pete)
Story Tellers - part 1 will be out soon!

SOPHIES JOURNEY

Lyrics by Paul Beaumont
Music, instruments and vocals by Ian Jenkins
Engineered and Produced by Ian Jenkins

This was the first song I ever wrote, February 2011. My grateful thanks to Paul for the words...top man! You can hear his version at this link https://soundcloud.com/search?q=the%20time%20zones%20inside%20out

Open mouthed and open armed
Am I cursed or am I charmed
I’ll never know
Lost in awe is where I’m found
Caught between the ups and downs
It’s where I go

Stuck for words but want to speak
Hearing things that make me weep
I’m not alone
All my thoughts are always meant
And from my heart the message sent
It’s not on loan

Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Turn the key and let me out
Let me show you that there’s no doubt
Turn me inside out
And let me show you who - who I am

In my strength a weakness hide’s
Tempted by the vivid sides
I know my mind
Deep in thought of shallow lies
The truth redeemed can bind the ties
You look you find

Repeat Chorus

Break

Meant to say and meant to do
Too much thought the process through
In heart and mind
It’s open season everyday
Welcome in no farewell say
Don’t be unkind

Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Turn the key and let me out
Let me show you that there’s no doubt
Turn me inside out
And let me show you who - who I am
Who I am - Who I am

Inside Out

I've been a semi-pro keyboard player and singer since the mid 70's but only started writing songs whilst at a loose end in February 2011 - don't ask why!

In no way am I a lyricist so I rely on collaborations with others, nameley my fellow Soundcloud members Paul Beaumont (found on here as The Time Zones), Carroll Kiphen (found on here as Carroll Kiphen!) and Lucy Prasad (yea, you guessed it, on here as Lucy Prasad!!), along with Rod Barry.

If you have any comments to make please add them, they're most welcome.

For those of you who maybe interested, I have another Soundcloud page featuring the instrumental music I compose and record, and you'll find that at https://soundcloud.com/ian-jenkins-104831901
