I fully expect some people to get creeped out and unfollow but when I used to go to church, I’d get creeped out, so this is that, and fair is fair. I'd probably get arrested in the former Unites States. FYI, I'm not really a witch.

Lyrics:

They say kneel, they say pray, then rub my shoulders and look away.
Bitter tales and the air is stale, and every song scrapes like nails.

Fingers grip far too long and voices wail and they call it song.
Speaking in tongues I can’t translate, and threats of fire if I escape.

Eyes are closed when questions burn.  
God is needy, I have learned.  
Every sermon strokes a fear and every smile masks a sneer.

If I stumble I must pay the vengeance dressed in holy gray.
I hear whispers through the walls judging me with ancient laws.

Close your eyes, eyes that pry, I was born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly.

No one’s born to kneel or pray, they teach us fear to make us pay.
Books are closed when questions burn but we are here, you never learn.

Hands on eyes, eyes that pry, born in truth but raised in lies.
Try to mould me, I defy, I’m your fear and I will fly

Who I love terrifies you
A coven hidden in your pews
Your God’s a myth and you’re a fake
We live beside you, wide awake

We Live

here comes the last of the three works on ‘retrospective future’.

background: as alarming as the scenarios are that scientists predict for the year 2100 if there is no rapid change in the way we treat our environment, this future still feels like abstract sci-fi, just beyond our imagination – more than twice as far away as the year 2001 was when kubrick's ‘a space odyssey’ came out.

but then, we watch our granddaughter, who just turned three, riding her scooter, screaming with joy. we realize how incredibly quickly time has passed since we were her age. and we have to think that in 2100, she will be only slightly older than we are today. and suddenly, 2100 becomes just one heartbeat away, an infinitely sad one.

I wrote 'scooting aleece' which originally dealt with a wild friend of us 40 years ago and we loved singing it at our all-night parties for two, albeit with different lyrics. recently, I rewrote the lyrics as a dedication to our granddaughter for the reasons mentioned above. to her and to all other kids her age.

while working on the AI vocals for the original 4/4 arrangement, for some reason I kept hearing a 3/4 beat in my head, which completely turned the entire compositional concept on its head. so, after creating the first version, which was faithful to the original, I created a second one that was completely different. and because it also featured a vocal premiere, I’d like to share this second version first. the first one will come later, if anyone is interested.

Windy hair, sunny beams in the air
There is no better free
Endless now, every moment a wow
Feeling all you see

Life’s a dance, every turn full of news
Life’s a grand carousel
Days as nights, time’s a far-away thing
There’s no end, little belle
All your world’s just well

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

We all know, we are burning your world
Making bucks of fire
Drown your dreams in the floods of our greed 
Stocks will rise ever higher

We’ll be gone, long ago, like this song
Just a mote in time
You’ll still there, bear it all along
Have to pay for our crimes

Scooting Aleece
Life’s a big ease
Scooting Aleece 
Until one day
They gonna take 
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
we wish we could freeze
Scooting Aleece 
This happy day
They couldn’t take
Your smile away

Scooting Aleece
Fly with the bees
Scooting Aleece
Dance under trees
Scooting Aleece
All days like these

Scooting Aleece

And Change The Ending

Late for a date

This is what I took from spending Saturday morning with my mate Mac doing mushrooms together for the first time in 20 plus years 
This is a rough summary of our conversation and a rougher version of some bm chord thing he tried to show me

Lyrics
It’s probably twenty odd years 
Since I properly tried
To break the monopoly life’s
Had on my wobbly mind
It’s either frothy and trite
Or like the sloppiest shite
You’ve ever dropped late at night
I’d better stop or I might
Say too much
Not a chance in fuck

And I’m good at fuck all but it don’t matter you see 
Cos I’m the best in the world at writing songs about me
And I’m all that I know 
That’s the truth if we’re showing our cards

And I still dont fit in , don’t  know where to begin
If I believed in god I’d be drowning in sin
It’s just him and his kin , I find that shit a little too hard

And I’m disbarred from sensible conversation cos my tattoos spell my soul
So I discard my sensible reservations ,I’m a twat who’s hell is whole

And the flag shaggers cry that they got way more pride in this country than I’ll ever find 
And the left wingers scream that I’m spoiling their dream cos I choose to believe my own mind 
 But despite what the say I’ll row on my own way till they shoot me for leaving my lane
It’ll catch light one day even if we all pray
Cos there’s no-one to pray for today

So you see how I’ve done it again 
Though a chorus never was an aim
I was supposed to be singing to say
How much I like mushrooms

Guitar and words by me 
And I know I pronounce even as Ivan but you get the idea

How much I like mushrooms

Prayer Light

I compose this song in the memory of James Gandolfini.

Moments Of Loneliness

I didn't choose this obsession it was chosen for me unknowingly.
Lucky me no regrets.

I Welcome You Home For Christmas
