James, Martin has yto be happy with your contribution.  Classic folk strumming, passion in the vocal, & fitting sentiment.

Wonderful song with fantastic vocals! A real joy to listen to. 

This is very beautiful overall, superb vocals and excellent lyrics, the guitar is excellently played and recorded! It got me hooked the whole length!

Such an engaging lyrical story//heartfelt vocals//wonderful music//Passionate and profound collab!

Quite a lesson in those lyrics my man.  I'm guilty of this very thing I have to say.  Need to do better for my better half.  Nice one James.

Beautiful song. Lovely cover photo as well. Nicely done guys.

All The Headlights

You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching  . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

ALL THE HEADLIGHTS

Greetings!,  As many of you know, I am a child of the 80's.  I have recently been enjoying a show called Stranger Things which is set in the 80s where much of the clothes, conversation and artifacts they present throughout the show keep me very entertained. Yes, I am easily amused. The soundtrack to the show is very well done; tip of the hat to the music supervisor for this series.  I especially love the vibe of the theme song and the very, very 80s era use of midi drums and synths.  I attempted to emulate that vibe and feel in my latest song called?  I am still deciding on a title.  It will be called Comatose or Shore It Up. If I remember correctly, I went with that distinctive 808 drum thump, that rubbery synth bass sound and a very liberal use of side-chaining just for the fun of it. I also provided heavy dosage of that classic saw tooth synth sound with added sweeping filters across the landscape.This song was a blast to make and it will be hitting the airwaves very soon.  Stay tuned and thanks for dropping by my music cave for a peak into my music creation world....

Comatose

Written and recorded 3rd January 2021

My first jam and recording session of the year... another song based on an improv with my bouzouki, which is the main rhythm instrument in this track.

After a difficult year, and a socially distanced Christmas and New Year, the only solace is knowing that we are doing what we can to keep each other safe.

Lyrics:

These darkened days
We've stayed away...

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

No face to face
No meeting place

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

We'll join again
Some glorious day

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

Safe

NEON IN HIS BLOOD (The loneliest boy I ever saw)

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side
If "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans
There'd be no work for tinkers’ hands

Neon in his blood

Neon in his blood

The land rolls up and the land rolls down
If Mummy didn't cut the fat off Daddy would eat it
Sometimes the rocks stick out 
But mostly they don’t
The worst part about being old 
Is remembering when you were young 
And we look at the stars 
And we still don’t know what they mean
Except she’s gone so I eat what I like
Pick the goosegrass buttons 
Off the loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

The loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

Written & recorded at Gatsby's Garage 2020

A million thanks to Nat for her gorgeous vocals here. This song is for the soldiers who risk their lives for us and get nothing in return but mockery. We hate war and want our boys back home. But those who fight for us deserve respect and recognition.

Politicians sent our boys to war
to a place they've never been before
I'd like to send the old guys instead
to make them think about a senseless death

Hey, this is no game, you have no right to waste their lives
hey, have you no shame, you wouldn't dare to be on the other side

Defend their country - that's all they should do
but there is so much more you send them through
how can you make them fight in foreign lands
cause you know pretty well how that will end

Don't leave them alone
bring our boys back home

Badly traumatised when they return
rejected by the people makes them burn
they risk their lives but mockery's all they earn
will the politicians ever learn?

They deserve respect, please act like that and honour them
give them all they need to find their way in life again

Don't leave them alone    
bring our boys back home

Tomorrow Will Be A Better Day - (Don Quixote)- by Sonic Inducer -

Martin contacted me with the title of the song in his mind...he wanted me to put his excellent acoustic recording track with some lyrics.
I was glad to offer my ideas and the result was a true folk song of modernity.
I hope you enjoy our collaboration.

Give Me More Than A Second w/Martin Hirsch

Never See The Cliff Until I Fall                  c. 2021 M. A. Manetz

V1
When the cuckoo calls they say it's gonna rain.
The whistle marks the comin' of the train.
But when I woke up this mornin',
My love was gone without a warnin',
And it hit me just like a hurricane.

V2
When the mornin' sun turns the sky to red,
Sailors know storm clouds lie ahead,
I never looked to the the horizon,
Should have come as no surprise when,    
She left me in this cold and lonely bed.

Chorus
I never see the writing on the wall.
Only see what I wanna see, when I see at all.
Like Wiley Coyote when ol' Roadrunner calls,
Never see the cliff until I fall.

V3
They say that love will set you free.
Free isn't what I wanna be.
Love is blind, fools rush in, 
I'll get back up, start again, 
Find a love who loves as blind as me.

Chorus

Tag
Like Wiley Coyote givin' it his all,
Never see the cliff until I fall.

Never See The Cliff Until I Fall
