Wonderful expressive voice you have Jo. Another top song and I really like the interplay between the drummer and bass player. The splashes of piano as the record moves on are lovely. Really enjoyed my couple of spins.

Unsigned Radio Hour #8

Summer 2021

lyrics:
I
light breeze going up
the longest legs i've seen so far
squeak your way up to the top
but it's too late to be a star

high heels on railings
front and back like dancing
your tears triple up the stars
we've screwed the world up

ref. 
we have gone very far
hold me tight as fire comes
shout with your lungs
it's too late to be a star

one last time in a bar 
and it sums us up
you can let yourself drown
LA burns to the ground

II
sing a lullaby
as we close earth's eyes
in a sacred 
goodbye

put on your lip balm
alibi to live by
we've closed your eyes
for what's real in life

LA burns

Merci encore à toi Mathieu d’avoir accepté que je travaille sur un de tes sons!🙏🏽😉❤️

                              Just another day 

Encore un jour qui se lève, une nouvelle journée 
Le soleil se réveille sur un autre day 
D’une nuit brève et sans rêve 

Encore un soir où lorsque la lune sera montée  
De tous les bords de ma vie rien n’aura bougé 
Je le sais, just another day 

Maybe one day I will go away pour enfin me trouver
Maybe someday I will find the faith pour ne plus me cacher 

Je regarde ma guitare posée là, figée 
Puis cette page restée blanche de mots évaporés 
Anyway, is there something left to say?

Comment pourrai-je ne pas laisser tout s effacer?
Comment pourrai-je à nouveau sentir mon cœur vibrer?

Across the miles through time and space 
I will chase the Melodies i can retrace 

Today today today, just another day, just another day.

Just Another Day (with Mathieu)

Cocos Lovers -Listening Ear

This is a brilliant song that I've just discovered, which we played for the first time at our church when we had FIVE baptisms and dedication on the same Sunday!!

The wonderful backing vocals are by Jo, sensitive and creative bass by Pete, lovely organ playing by Chris.  We only learned the song together that week and I'm pretty chuffed with the result.  It was recorded by a basic MP3 recorder at the back of the church.

Check out Third Day's songs - they are pretty flipping amazing!!

BTW - the photo is when I went walking around my friend's town with their pet Ball Python called Cinnamon.

Carry My Cross

Carry My Cross (cover of Third Day song)

A song of gratitude for the life of my dear friend Martin, who died two years ago.  I wrote most of it the week after his death, intending to play it at his funeral, but it was too raw and i couldn't finish it back then.  This weekend, taking part in a ceremony of remembrance for him, I caught and reeled-in the bridge which completes my feelings.  It's a very simple song.
------------------------------------
When I was a boy, you were already a man
And I could tell by the way that you opened a beer, you could do anything you turned your hand (to)
To me, when things went bad, you were the brother that I’d never had
If I didn’t say it before - thank you for that.

And you were a brave one, crossing those lines in the sand
that say that “You can’t go to uni at thirty you old man! Just stick to the work that you can (do)”
Do you know what you did?  You proved there’s no age limit on being a kid
I know I said it before - thank you for that.

I’m so glad to have known you, even now when I’m counting the cost
And somehow you gave me what I needed to survive your loss

Surrounded by people, but somehow you still felt alone
And you had been working your whole life, caring for others, healing everyone’s pain but your own
And now you’ve been gone for more than a week, I don’t know if those are raindrops or tears on my cheek
All of that pain, you didn’t deserve, we’re all here because we loved you the way you were
Holding hands tight, it’s ok to be sad, you were the best friend that I ever had
I’m going to say it once more - thank you for that.

Martin's Song - D. Flecknoe

An interesting look into a more atmospheric / moody style of writing, Cocaine low is the perfect metaphor for anything in life that is your passion, but also that takes too much of your life up without achieving your end goal, but being addicted you can't stop doing it

Now if you don’t know me, 

My name is Rayna and I host a radio show on VOWR.ca (VOWR 800AM if you’re on the Island) It is a wonderful all volunteer Radio Station celebrating 100 YEARS on the air in 2024  We are located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.  

I started a new show called the “The Unsigned Radio Hour” where I give artists from SoundCloud and other venues a chance to have their songs heard on the radio. 

I love listening to, writing or playing music.  I understand what a wonderful feeling it is to share that love and passion with others.

I want let YOU SHINE!!

Sadly I’m not going to make you any money. However you will have the joy of telling all your friends “I’m going to be on the radio tonight.” 🤣

Message me if you would like to share your music.  Send me a song or two in MP3 and a little bio to share with my listeners. I will let you know when your song will be played on the air.
