Churn

when the solstice come and the season change
under charcoal sky
broad the landscape, dull and barren
swift like the crow would fly
I will meet you here in this quiet place
when you feel alone
down the hallway, in the kitchen
of a blessed home

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your skin
shed the grief you’re tangled in

frames and pictures on the shelves
with all the books we’ve read
woolen blankets, smooth the covers flat
when we make our beds
sit up talking in the evening, late
and our faces smile
tired of walking, would it be alright
if I stayed a while?

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your face
fire in the fire place

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your skin
shed the grief you’re tangled in

Northern Winds

We Don’t Talk Anymore

Sad when the summer came I sang to you
Sorrowful, somber, sable words
Buried the dreams you drempt inside of you
Ever alive and held on to

Straight into the eye of a powerful storm
Down electrical lines, keep me swaddled and warm
Winds whip through the trees, broad branches are broke
In the street there’s debris from an elderly oak
Men out on the sea being battered and tossed
Hear the captain’s decree, feeling hopelessly lost
Gave myself to the cause, sacrificed for a war
You use to write all the time, now we don’t talk anymore

Sad when the colors fade like joy we knew
Wittering blade and wilted limb
Wish it away this sleep we’ve fell into
Filtered, the sunlight seems so dim

Straight into the eye of a powerful storm
Down electrical lines, keep me swaddled and warm
Winds whip through the trees, broad branches are broke
In the street there’s debris from an elderly oak
Men out on the sea being battered and tossed
Hear the captain’s decree, feeling hopelessly lost
Gave myself to the cause, sacrificed for a war
You use to write all the time, now we don’t talk anymore

You use to write all the time
You use to write all the time
You use to write all the time
We don’t talk anymore

We don’t talk anymore
We don’t talk anymore
We don’t talk anymore
We don’t talk anymore

We Don't Talk Anymore

Channel 69 - "Listen to Me"

One of my favorite songs by Talk Talk from the 80's.  This version was only played live by Channel 69 and was the ONLY "cover" we ever did.

An interesting fact, the end of the song was re-written with an original outro and a sample from a popular cartoon was used.  Do you know the cartoon it comes from?

It's My Life (C69 Remake)

This song explores themes of impermanence and the fleeting nature of human emotions and experiences. 

It is a new remake on an old song recorded back in 1993 to design a seamless collaboration between our friends, actually to much success. 

Due to time and the ability to properly record vocals, the original backup vocals and harmonies are not here. We wanted to be “done and not perfect” or it would never see the light of day. Thank god this isn’t our day job.

Only For A Second (2024)

Healed

Easy To Destroy

Save My Life

Unkind 

hear my fable of past time
pull up close eyes wide
spend time in the maze of a dark mind
that escaped from a past so unkind
I use to hang out at night with the aimless
called them friends of mine
trouble makers, wild and wasted
too dumb for the art of real crime

John got on a train for his boomtown
James ended his days in jail
Peter wanted to make his dear mom proud
never ended the chase for his own tail
these days I count myself lucky
no need for a rabbits paw
chosen and beloved by an angel
no sense to be made of what I saw

these days spent by an ocean
warmed by sunny skies
past time all a blur like illusion
comes back with the shills of a gulls cry

I dream lyrics and cosine 
I walk through the forest blind
you pencil the points of a timeline
connects with a past so unkind
Jesus, send me the blueprint
grand scope of your one design
consider the facts of my own sin
entwined with the cycles of time 

these days I count myself lucky
no need for a rabbits paw
chosen and beloved by an angel
no sense to be made of what I saw
hear my fable of past time
pull up close eyes wide
spend time in the maze of a dark mind
that escaped from a past so unkind
