The true story of CHRIS O & MOAG

[MOAG]
I’m on my own again 
Tired of pretending it’s ok, that 
you’re most likely on your way 

[CHRIS]
Babe you know I love you true 
It’s been one helluva a long day so
won’t you just say you love me too

You buy me bangles, diamond rings but
I just want the simple things under the moon 
like there’s no tomorrow

[MOAG]
Get off that blue trail to the stars 
I don’t like your friends nor their lalalalas 
You moving further makes me hollow 

You know I have waited 
Wasted time that you never updated 
Falling apart for the Queen of my heart

[CHRIS]
I don’t want no crown, don’t string me down 
Don’t need no fancy blings
Just gotta get out and do my thing 

This ain’t no tale about fame and glory
Much more like my whole life’s story
Oh how can you want me to let go ?

[MOAG]
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known 
all along that I could never tame you
But who’s that guy in your latest song ?

Those tender words of love, they burn 
right through my soul, they grip tight to that guy 
won’t bring me anything but sorrow

[CHRIS]
The guys in my songs are always you
No matter what I try 
So get a grip and quit this wallow

CHRIS & [MOAG]
Don’t push Babe 
Don’t do me wrong 
[I don’t intend to do you wrong]
Don’t push Babe 
Are you that strong ?
[and I‘m as strong as the day is long]
Though I may not like you much today 
I keep crawlin’ back here anyway 
[I will be waiting for you here anyway]
Don’t ever say you know what’s true 
[one thing I know is true]
when you don’t even know that I love you 
[is that I love you]

lyrics (-ish)

i go out at night
cuz the night is my time
take a walk around this
fine neighborhood
people like you and me
we're like driftwood
going down a stream we know
there's no turning back now

i got scars
from every century
i been to all your wars
its complimentary
know i'd die for you honey
if i only could
but this blood coursing through my veins
is thicker than mud

dark like the night
and the night is for dancing
so shuffle your feet
or be the one for the tasting
show a little skin baby
right there by the neck
hold real still now
i just want to check

if you got the devil within
don't you want to live forever?
just have a taste of sin
don't be so clever
people people
safe behind your closed windows
better watch better watch out
for your sons and your daughters

we're coming for you
the threat from within
have a little taste of sin
dont you want to live forever?
don't you want to feel something?

this blood coursing through my veins
thicker than mud
people like you and me
we're like driftwood
driftwood
driftwood


Driftwood

None of Us Are Free is a rhythm and blues song written by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Brenda Russell. It was first recorded by Ray Charles on his 1993 album My World, but received relatively little attention at that time. In 2002, a version was recorded by soul singer Solomon Burke on his album Don't Give Up On Me. The track featured The Blind Boys of Alabama on backing vocals, and the album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album, bringing Burke back into the public eye.
I'm using my Blueridge BR180. Guitar and vocals are recorded in one take with one microphone.

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!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
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

"There is a lot in Idris' music that is highly original even though he's treading a well-worn path. His delivery is so personal and intimate. An instant classic" - Mark J Bennet, Soundcloud

GREETINGS and welcome to my page! So at the minute I'm compiling all of my recent work into a new album which will hopefully be recorded this Autumn..! In the meantime however I'm very excited to announce that my first music video is soon to be published by WheelBellow! I've seen a first draft and I'm really pleased with it! Can't wait!

I draw from traditional songs, ideas and phrases and weave them into my songs and to add to the rich tapestry of folk music. But I've not always been a musician, I trained in architecture and as a child I never really engaged with music. It was only later when I discovered one of my mothers Lightning Hopkins records gathering dust and put it on. Boy! Well that started it for me and I've not looked back since. I now live in Peckham, South London where I work behind a local bar and play the other side of it too, often (and happily) through the night.

I started recording when I started writing as this was the best way, I felt, to keep a record of the music. Upon joining SC I've arranged most of my recordings into 6 albums and an EP. The first 3 albums, from the early days, I call Bootlegs (the last of these being Testerest, The Best of The Rest). These 3 albums really illustrate my learning process. Imitations - you can hear me trying to sound like Dylan I'm sure on a couple of tracks. And there are also the first songs I wrote there - love songs of course! The last 3 albums I've compiled under the sub-title Sketch Songs as they're all just sketches. But, ranging from 2008 - 2011 they represent the more recent work from me. The last, The Dental Demos EP is just the result of a recording oppotunity I had earlier this year. Foolishly I just recorded the songs off the top of my head and none of the new songs I'd been writing at the time. So I've saved these up and now have loads of material for my next album. I really want to put everything into this one. I have a couple of collaborations lined up, duets and such, as well as other experimentation's but I really want to do it right - and that means preparation! So I'm not rushing anything but hope to have things ready to go into the studio in a month or so - about the time my music video will be released!

Well, anyway, I'm rambling - sorry!

All that left to say really is thanks for visiting my page and I hope you enjoy what you hear!
