You've got a unique sound, Jim, lots going on with your music.  Like the outdoor themes too.

really nice to hear t his trilogy of songs, they work really well :)

Very good song, nice voice and music quality

NIce commentary about getting away from it all, and finding yourself somewhere along the way. Your music is always evocative, Jim. :)

I like your message about how the recent restrictions on life have given us an opportunity to wake up. I wonder if COVID will prove to be a blessing in disguise. People definitely don't just accept the status quo any more. That's got to be a good thing. Great song. :)

Great song, has a 60s feel, love the percussion & soulful, psychedelic sound

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

A STREET OF LIFE (see info for video link)

Way Outside BlooZe, with a Bang!  ;)

Cheers, always!  :-D

Paroles

Tu me tiens la main pour que je lève le pied.
Tu m'oblige à te regarder.
Au fond de cette chambre 
s'empilent nos souvenirs.
Des plus noirs aux plus clairs 
Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.

Tous ces mots que tu glisses 
Sont paroles d'évangile 
Tous ces gestes anonymes 
Se perdent sur le récif 
Une barrière de corail 
Me coupe telle la limaille 

Ma peau fragile 
Ma peau fragile 

Instant fragile 
Instant fragile 

Entre nous c'est Vegas 
Les palaces et l'ennui 
Dans un cercle de feu
Je veux voir ton ombre 
Au milieu des braises 
Je veux que tu me 
Au milieu des braises 
Je veux que tu me 
Brise les yeux 

Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.


Des soupçons des remords 
Et des vagues de questions
Des glaçons dans la bouche 
Des réponses à la louche 
Des questions des questions 
Et de vagues réponses 
J'ai le choix de me taire 
T'as le temps de mentir 
Instant fragile 
Instant fragile 


Tu me tiens la main pour que je lève le pied.
Tu m'oblige à te regarder.
Au fond de cette chambre 
s'empilent nos souvenirs.
Des plus noirs aux plus clairs 
Instant fragile.

Instant fragile.

Misanthrope

Instant fragile

Instant Fragile

I started writing this song sitting in a field in wales on a camping trip
its a song about getting out and about in the summertime and looking for adventure as the title suggests its a group of memories and reflections on the way i see the world at the moment,maybe the restrictions on life we have had to face has woken something up in some of us and there is a need and desire to get back out there again

Destination Love.

Since “Particle Guitar” over a year ago, Steve and I have written and performed many new songs together.  And we’ve formed a new band called “Korima” which will soon release its debut EP: “Into Your World”.
 
Along the way, as Korima, we’ve created some short songs.  Not excerpts but, rather, complete pieces to be enjoyed briefly on their own - or as connectors exploring the relationships between songs.
We’d like to showcase some of them here.  This is the first one up: White Sail.  We hope you enjoy it!
 
Korima's songs are written, performed, arranged, engineered, and produced by SuZanne Ledwith (Ireland) and Steve Pumphrey (England).

White Sail

Words I never thought I would have to write.

The great eSyrup, Thom Palumbo has tragically left us.
I am heartbroken. He has been a frequent collaborator and loyal correspondent over the last ten years. When I play guitar, I think of him and whether he would like it. When I write, I imagine his reaction. And now he is gone. He achieved his lifelong ambition of returning to Maine to live over the last few weeks. I was so proud he had done it. I had hoped for more of his time, his music and his humour. An incredible man.

We never met, but we had an uncanny connection. This was done but not finished nearly six years ago, in December 2017. Life and stuff got in the way. Time was our only enemy and sadly a cruel one.

Please listen to his fantastic legacy here and appreciate his beautiful art

In Loving Memory Of ESyrup (Thom) - ESyrup and Nicholas Ridiculous

A new collab with my dear HyLGZ22.
Lyrics :
Arpeggio, stylish hairdo and silver witcher’s sword, you forego my toes, my modulation and white noise passion. Love my love and my void in my tiny palace of thousand rooms and coplanar sideral networks of my wiggling ears.
Ethereal sensations of shiny dragon’s leather and troll fur, in your bed and in you bath and in your milky dreams of oak and halberds.
I crave for the tinkling of ten thousands cybernetic bees buzzing around the pomegranate of my intricate emotions, tantalizing my tits, and releasing the endorphins that keep me alive in a solution of poisonous thoughts.
Your fizzling feet feed the psychopomps with the crumbs of your illusions. Like a Hierophant in love, I will synthetize the fragrance of your sweat, and drink the wine of your gaze, and kiss your boobs and your boots.
Sweating under your command, I swallow you imagination and the fluffy bouncing monsters of your polyphony play with my ears in an opera of mystical strawberries.
My glass boots tinkle on the bridge of our passion as we surpass the bondage of geometrical algebra in our creamy foreplays.
The neural network that decides which music we like, will explode under the purple blaze of our desires. Freed by Malenia’s Scarlet Rot, we shall seek new achievements for our misguided lives. In a romantic reckless move, we will go happily to a naked party at the sushi bar in Dagon Street.

When I first heard this I instantly picked up a  blusey mid eastern flavour to it and decided to pick up on that theme. I used Pauls track "Remember" in it's entirety with no edits to do some post production work around it, picking up on that eastern vibe I was getting !! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did making it.  
A BIG thank you to Paul for this opportunity and for all your great support!!

The Long Journey

The Long Journey // PAPLOVIANTE // CAMBERELLI

"Take aim at his heart now!" he yelled. "And shoot for the head!" shouted back his armed colleague. But with tears in the formers' eyes, he knew he had already lost the fight. The longer he wore on in the battle with his foe, the greater his uncertainty. 
This song is about a mercenary remembering an encounter with a fellow mercenary. They were both after the same target and the first, unarmed mercenary was forced to kill his armed colleague with a car.
Listening to the story of the song, one may get the sense that betrayal and regret are central themes; however, they are only one of the many threads unfurled in the song. Violence and mercy are more central, especially within the mind's eye of the protagonist re-living what had occurred on one fateful day.
A violent mind may not breed mercy, but mercy will never hold a place (or a candle, if you will) in the minds of those whose idea of violence is not honourable and just -- in a moral sense, of course. Moral compasses change direction from person to person, from time to time, and from situation to situation. They can even, sometimes, point to one's own fate -- mercifully or not.

LYRICS:
Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Hearing slowed-down sounds
Of an engine roaring,
Wheels rollin' to a cliff's end
And shot out in escape.
So it seemed
Was a blow to my youth.

Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Seeing moving parts
As it comes upon him,
Devoted locomotion
To bring about elimination.
What I've seen
I have created.

Somebody once told me
In a ripped-up rage
Had eyes like a monster, and it came
Like the wind against my head.
So Drive Like You Stole It
With nothing to say
Eyes runnin' like water, to this day
I could not relate.

Take aim at his heart now
And shoot for the head
A backstabber grieving his existence,
So tortured.
Hold up a candle
In a darkened cave
Canot fix what cannot be seen:
I refuse to replay.

Like You Stole It

Similar to R I.P.  A bit of fun with a Dylanesque type blues.

I just did a bit of landscaping for him

That's a sweet deal:)
