SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...

The Rules Of Attraction

We are always trying different styles and sounds, this is more alt/popish I guess. I think it is fun to hear people's song writing and recording process on SC...so for this one I wrote a brief demo with acoustic only, working out the main lyrics. Then Morry took it and recorded it with all the instrumentation and bridge etc. Then we got back together to record the vocs and mastered it on our Tascam DP24. Hope you like it!

We're coming to a close in the most difficult 2020.  Some original blues rock with Tom Adams seems most appropriate.  This one has a Genesis sound in parts - not sure how but it does.  To go back to Tom, he's a hired gunslinger but for some reason he never asks for cash.  But he's on the money again with this one.  If you're not following Tom you should check him out!: https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892

Be safe, be well, and let's keep things rolling into the new year.  
Thanks to so many for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.
