In the Dirt I Shall Survive (Demo Version)

Why Do I Dream of Electric Sheep?

Esperanza [instrumental]

Opener of live concerts of the Art Rock band Common Ground in which I formerly played - decades ago ;-)  We played some original tracks like 'A Lovely Day' which can be found on my SC page as well as some covers of the bands Rush, It Bites and Marillion.

Sorry for the bad sound quality. Recorded 1990 with a 4 channel mixer and a stereo tape recorder ;-)

Common Ground - Intro 1990 (remastered)

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

Your Love

What Kind Of Feeling

Strange Goins On

(I’m A) Movin’ On

I best be a'movin’ on
I got to go
I’ve outstayed my welcome honey
Your mother knows I got wild oats to sow
I’ll take my queue
I’ll burden no more
I’ll take their hints
It’s time to roll
So long
I’m a'movin’ on
I’m a'movin’ on

There ain’t no point in complaining
About the evil eyes set on me
Holes are burning
As they envision me in effigy
I wish I could stay babe
But nothing ‘bout this that’s okay
I should be a'headin’ out
Gettin’ on my way
I got’s t'be movin’ on
I got’s t'be movin’ on

Who hosts an evening
Disguised inquiry
Posing questions curiously
Waiting baited for missteps by me
Wanting nothing
‘Cept to spill duplicity
They want to believe
But refuse to see
I can’t be a’stayin’
I must be a'movin’ on
I must be a'movin’ on

I got out
Got pulled back in
The moment I protest
They welcome me as kin
I let my guard down
They lick their lips
I love you sweetheart
But this boys back got
Ain’t no more to give to the whip
It’s time to trip
I must be a'movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
