If Peter Gabriel and Paul McCartney had an offspring … 😉 A very interesting song, indeed. ⁓Rebecca

missed this one; wow this piano section is great; you completely own a corner of the musical universe Janine!

Fancy, classy, with an unexpected change of time, full of surprises.

I found this on my harddrive! It's an old collaboration dating from 2006 with a guy named Richard Sistenich (aka Amused) - I met him on the music forum that is BandAmp (NOT BandCamp). This forum is now a relic, sadly, but hey, it's still up and this track can be found on there.

I wanted to share them here for your amusement.

Richard had created the original instrumental part - asked me to do the drums, lyrics and vocals. This is the wonderful result (it was really well received at the time)

Remember, it's old: it's no HD and the production value is so-so.


LYRICS:

to seek
what it is like
to seek
what it feels like

so precious
so couragious

I wish I could say what this moment feels like when I saw you today doing alright

I'm awake now
feeling safe now
watching space between shadows
like the girl with the red rose
in her hair, she is dancing
to the rhythm of answering

alive and awake
in a dream
I always knew
it always came clean
before the end of all things good
let's kiss away the aches forgood

old thoughts of fear don't make a sound
up and down that spiral twice around
wash out the skin from the venom spewed
to twist the insides out it's nothing new

so precious
so couragious
to seek what it's like
to seek what it feels like with you

wish I knew

Album                         

Wish I Knew

Feeling kinda eighties - yet also more modern; remixed version with renewed freshness, giving the drums a more lively character and cleaned up the synths a bit.

lyrics:

She embraces life as if it is a dream.
She believes in that what she knows at least is real.
She takes no risk, and takes it slow, all the time, weighing all these signals,
the calls, the touch of understanding.
A sweet and subtle shrugging off - the old rebellion;
she has scars enough.
She draws her own path - this expression of that passion held inside.

7am on a spring morning at Blessington Lakes in County Wicklow and all was still, suddenly i heard the most amazing sound that broke the silence, 2 amazing white swans flew out of the mist with such gracefulness and power it took my breath away,  i wrote this song to try and capture the beauty and style of these amazing birds. 
this is my fist ever instrumental . I hope you like it. Johnny

The wonderful Debra Buesking joins me on piano in a less mad version of my song!
Debra is such a beautiful player, I recommend spending some time on her page : ) https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking

Speak to me
You are all that I can see
I am one
I am one

Hold my hand
I have done what I can do
Though I am just a man
Just a man

When the rains fall
They will sweep us all away
when the sky palls
at the ending of the day
You are my love
and that's all that I can say
We were here
We were here

I must leave
and though parting tears my heart
I had love
I had love
You're with me now
and that's all that I want
We have love
We have love

When the rain falls etc

This Time of Year

This time of year, you know 
Bugs of all types, you know
Six legged, eight legged, grown in a petri dish

This time of year you know
Bees of all stripes they go
All of them searching for nectar and perfect bliss

This time of year 
All kinda girls
Real or fictitious or dressed up in prison clothes

Over the wall they go 
Out on the lam ya know
Looking for your faces exactly like yours you know 
And I’m looking at you

This time of year you know 
Two or three years ago
You told me not to write songs about you, you know

I’ve got to tell you though
You’re the best guy I know
You’ll have to put up with songs ‘til you die you know
And I’ll write them for you

This time of year you know
Bugs of all types, you know
Creepers and crawlers -- bacteria probably

Put on their Sunday hats
Strut around town they go
Looking for someone exactly like you ya know
Just like you
