From the Album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
Another dark night in the promised land
Experiencing the universes empathic crushing hand
There are people today creating symphonies
With well worded prompts
You know me, I'm staying out of sight
At  late night haunts

I'm investigating black markets
Where people sell off all of their free will
They said you were gonna love me
But I could never ever seem to get my fill

The people out here 
They don't believe in nothing
No God of any kind
You said you were gonna love me
But I could not give you the reason why

You learn to live... (The AI prayer of life)

Another stoned day in the promised land
Experience randomness
And technologies charismatic helping hand
Hypothetical lovers through the screen
She said she was gonna love us
But circuits don't know what I mean

A whispered dream
Asato Ma Sadgamaya
(Hindu Prayer: Lead me from the unreal to the real)
Like a primal scream

Alter your creative spirit
(change the configuration)

Alter your consciousness
(change the configuration)

Alter your soul
(change the configuration)

Alter humanity
(change the configuration)

I'm like a primal scream
How docile we've become
I love how docile we've become...

Asato Ma Sadgamaya

Tony King
1972-2025
For many years Tony ran the Chambers open mic night in Folkestone Kent. He was a top bloke, kind and supportive to each and every performer. As an example, the audio at the end of this track is taken from a video of me having just finished playing one of my songs. You can hear, at the time I couldnt as I was at the other side of the room, how encouraging Tony was, always complimentary. Tony loved life, was a happy chappie and kept himself extremely fit. He swam the channel, the sea from England to France some 21 miles on more than one occasion. Guess this proves we never know what life has in store for us even if we look after our health. Tony will be deeply missed not only by his loving family but those of us that got to know him through his wonderful open mic nights.  

Lyrics.
say goodbye to a kind hearted man
i didnt know him well but it was easy to tell.
a warm smile and grin youd be welcomed on in
to his music show a gentle hand to guide you on through

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

say farewell to a father a father and a friend
he swam 21 miles thought what the hell ill do it again.
these things are damn hard to understand
but you have to try to recall the joyus of times.

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

theres no rythme or reason

Pour qui je compte     ( Translated following the French text )

Il y a des carnets
Et des mots égarés
Tout au fond des tiroirs
Et qu'on n'relit jamais
Parce qu'on est en retard
Et qu'y a toujours quelqu'un
Dont il faut prendre soin
Et ce quelqu'un, c'est jamais soi.

Dans la frileuse Flandre,
Sous les chênes et les hêtres,
Il y a ce tas de cendre
Après un feu de fête.
Au milieu, des canettes,
Des souv'nirs jetés là
Qu'on ramass' les yeux las
Pour les trier plus tard, peut-être.

Alors on compte sur ses doigts.
Un' seul' main suffit quand on s'dit :
Pour qui je compte vraiment ?

Les glacières dans le coffre,
La guitare dans sa housse,
On se serre un peu fort.
Un dernier regard pour
Les lits de mousse tassée,
Et les arbres muets
Mêm' quand l' bûch'ron les couche.
Et chacun r'part de son côté.

Alors on compte sur ses doigts.
Un' seul' main suffit quand on s'dit:
Pour qui je compte vraiment ?

Et puis quand la clairière,
S'éclaircit plus encore,
Qu'on sait par cœur le bois,
Ses pièges, ses réconforts,
Assis sur les souches
On se parle à soi-même
En dénombrant ses doigts.
On se demande : Qui m'aime ? Qui m'aime ?
Et une seule main suffit. 

For whom I count on

There are notebooks
And lost words
At the bottom of drawers
That we never reread
Because we're late
And there's always someone
We have to take care of
And that someone is never ourselves.

In chilly Flanders,
Under the oak and beech trees,
There is a pile of ashes
After a festive bonfire.
In the middle, cans,
Memories thrown away
That we pick up with weary eyes
To sort through later, perhaps.

So we count on our fingers.
One hand is enough when we ask ourselves:
Who do I really count on?

The coolers in the trunk,
The guitar in its case,
We hug a little tighter.
One last look at
The beds of packed moss,
And the silent trees
Even when the lumberjack cuts them down.
And everyone goes their separate ways.

So we count on our fingers.
One hand is enough when we say to ourselves:
Who do I really count on?

And then when the clearing
Grows even brighter,
When we know the woods by heart,
Its traps, its comforts,
Sitting on the stumps
We talk to ourselves
Counting our fingers.
We ask ourselves: Who loves me? Who loves me?
And one hand is enough.

Pour qui je compte. avec Philippe J

Something very special can happen on SoundCloud when deep musicians from all over the world get together.  Here's our Song For Africa, a jam for Peace.  The tune was conceived and initiated by Germany's multitalented musician Alphio "Alpha Roots", who wanted to create a positive statement with friends from around the world, asking Germany's Jorg Stohwasser on tenor sax and Christian Zatioukal on African Bouzouki,  London's Gary Reeves on drums and percussion and me on keys to record.  Each has added so much to the sound, and we are really pleased to now share it with you.  One Love and Prayers too now for Alphio, who is gaining strength after a most difficult surgery.

What a great group of players on Infinity.  Scott Nelson is at the top of his game on guitar, setting the head and building a great story.  He's a musical master and we are so happy once again to have him leading.  Alphio on djembe is a second master, one who plays many instruments with ease and taste, and so much soul.  And creating the deep funk fusion bass lines again is Mirko "Stringburner" Borach.  These guys are all among my very favorites.  We hope you enjoy Infinity.   The photo is of the magnificent Northern Lights above Lofoten, Norway.

Cissy Strut is a funky, New Orleans type groove recorded initially by the Meters, and then performed and recorded by so many musicians.   Scott suggested the tune and we've decided to style it after a favorite version recorded by John Scofield.  We've lined up some great great players to bring Cissy Strut to SoundCloud - Scott Nelson and Stephan "Pinner" Lipinski on guitars, Mirko "Stringburner" Borach on bass and Alpha Roots with his signature djembe sound.  Scott's got the first solo and plays sweet rhythm guitar over the track, Pinner takes the second guitar solo, and I follow on Hammond Organ.  What fun this was for all of us.  
Follow each of these serious players:

Recording Bob Marley's classic Three Little Birds has been something I have wanted to do since I joined SoundCloud, and the incredible Alpha Roots jumps in with me here to bring this to life.  Alphio has been so close to Bob Marley's music and teachings, and he brings everything musically and spiritually to this recording, as he does so musically to everything and everyone he touches.  In addition to the beautiful singing, Alphio has created a 2 riddim guitar tracks, an organ track and a bass guitar track.  Check out Alphio's simply wonderful gallery of music and collaborations here.  He's such a talented musician, who plays all instruments, and creates such great grooves and moods and tunes:  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots  And for our collection of 16 tunes we have recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/rhythm-and-space-with-alpha

Alphio has been facing so many recent challenges, with severe medical issues.  Prayers for healing, strength and courage.  I know this music helps.
