Great story, great song, all in all great Johnny 👍 

Perfect delivery of this enjoyable Irish story-telling song. Liking that countrified guitar slapping along the way.

Cool song ! Great Melody ! I love the voice !

Guess we both are prisoner
Both searching for release
I pull faces from my cell
You could laugh at least

I know we've laughed so many times
Together and apart
I've held up an olive branch
You've fired back a dart

I don't know who feels more alone
I've felt this way before
My head has prison bars so strong
My house is made of straw

The gates close - you froze
I just want to be in your life
We're close, who knows
Is there space for me in your life?

You call out for help from me
In your own small way
By a magnet I draw near
And my hearts betrayed

If they chained us hand in hand
Would you truly scream?
Underneath this hardened skin
Is a scared weakling

Closed gate is my fate
I just want to be in your life
So apt, we are both trapped
Please make room for me in your life

We Both are Prisoners

A revolution is simmering in the underground, but it must be kept quiet. If the plans are discovered it could spell the end of the resistance and perhaps all human life as we know it.

Buy Our Lies

Whispers (A Campfire Conspiracy)

I got a new toy and made all the music with it. Ok, I also used a bowed bass for the bass frequencies.

The spoken word deals with the concept of time. I got a little bit triggered by some wise-ass dude on the interwebz stating that "WE EXPERIENCE TIME MOVING FORWARD...."

Hey, speak for yourself, dude. Time does not MOVE... In fact, time really isn't a thing at all. It is as much a thing as blue is a colour... The wavelengths of light are real, but those are not colours...

LOL after some discussion, I kinda explain it this way. In our observation, we see the sun dawn in the morning, and set in the evening. But this is not the sun doing anything special: we see this as a result of the rotation of our planet.
Similarly, "we"  observe time to go by, but it's not time doing anything special, it is us, going by through time.

Time itself has no action, just like distance has no action. It requires action to pass over distance, as it requires action to pass through time. Welcome to life.

It Must Be Blue

This is the story of Seagrave Tiller Hook and ladder 5211 who served with the Glencove Volunteers fire fighters  in Glencove, Long Island, new York from 1987 until 2011. when she finished service she was  bought by an Irish man called Liam Moore who has a passion for Fire Brigade and has quite a collection. He transported her from America to Ireland and this song tells the true story, or maybe a part of the tale of her travels from Glencove and her arrival here in Dublin. she is 56 foot long, 30tonne and has a 100f foot ladder, driven by a V8 engine and it was my pleasure to ride in her for a few hours with Liam.  Liam brings her to charity events and exhibitions to show her off and spend most of his time underneath or on top working on her. here is a youtube link to her arriving in Ireland, we will be putting a  youtube video for the song together in due course . 

Written, sung and produced by: Johnny Mc Farlane

Verse 1 
The story starts in  Glen Cove, long Island USA 
Ladder  5211 starts up  for her last day 
All the boys from the volunteers 
Could have filled up the water tanks with tears,  
They didn’t want to see her go away 
But they knew she had done her stint and that she couldn’t stay 
So they gave her a big send off and sent her on here way 
flashing lights and sirens blazing 
they all said their good bye that night
from the Station to the docks there wasn’t one dry eye in sight 

Chorus 
Oh Liam Moore’s fire Brigade is the best you’ve ever seen 
She’s 50 foot from front to back and he keeps her very clean 
She came all the way from Glen Cove City in the USA 
Now she’s parked in Liam Mores driveway and she’s here to stay 
 
                                Verse 2                                     
She was loaded up on a ship bound for Dublin IreLand 
Where Liam moore agus Laim Beag had everything in hand 
They couldn’t  hold in the  excitement 
when the ship docked at Dublin Keys 
And when the dockers took her off the ship they  both got weak at the knees

They drove her home via  pears street past Tara street fire station 
Where all the boys from the fire brigade  gave her a standing ovation 
They drive up O Connell street 
and past the GPO  
With the sirens on and flashing Lights it’s the only way to go . 

Chorus 
                             Verse 3 
All the neighbour on the road  were excited to see her arrive 
Liam knocked down half the house trying to get her in the drive 
And Annies from number 10  
Said Liam lock hard try that again 
He’s never going to get her in the drive 

Liam Moore ahus Liam beag  Took turns on the steering wheel 
And between the shouts and curing the grinding of the steel 
They eventually inched that big yoke in 
To a very small  tight space 
And when they turned the engine off see  the grin on Liam moors face

Chorus and change 
Well Liam loves this engine with all his heart 
and love nor money wouldn’t pull the 2 of them to part 
His heart his soul his everything has gone into this truck
Its cost him quite a lot of Do but he doesn’t give a Fiddlers

This is an acoustic cover of the Moody Blues' 1967 song which was featured on their 1968 album Days of Future Passed. Like most of their music, it was kind of unique I always thought, and I got the urge to try my hand at my usual stripped down version. Written by band member Justin Hayward.

Nights in White Satin (cover)

Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to work on this production)
Vocals, Music and mix by Glenny G's "One Man Band"
 
WHEN HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD
AND LISTENIN' TO HIS RADIO
HE GOT A BURNIN' IN HIS SOUL
HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC WOULD UNFOLD

HE STARTED LISTENIN' TO THE WORDS
NOT JUST THE MELODIES
NOT JUST THE VOCALS 
OR THE GREAT GUITARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL
TO WRITE YOUR SELF A SONG
PUT PEN TO PAPER
IT MIGHT BE A KEEPER
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL

HE LOVED LISTENIN' TO CASH
HAGGARD, HANK AND PRINE  
IN THE MUSIC WORLD
THEM BOYS MADE A SPLASH

A STORYTELLER'S DREAM
IS THAT YOU LISTEN TO THE WORDS
AND FEEL WHAT HE FEELS
THAT'S WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES

(REPEAT CHORUS )

IF YOU'VE GOT A BURNIN' IN YOUR SOUL
TO WRITE A GOSPEL SONG
ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU THE WORDS
THAT WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

(REPEAT CHORUS - OPTIONAL)

A ton of fun, thanks Steve, Mark and Rob [ASW] for making it happen.

LENNY      
There's a row of faces
yet not a single smile
coz if you're going to die then go in style

They're waiting for a stumble
they're waiting for the choke
they're waiting for another dirty joke

And there's nothing we could do
and Lenny should know better
and if he's going down
we're going down together
and i am just like him
'cause i can't keep my mouth shut
now where do we begin
now Lenny's gone?

It's time to pull the ripcord
and find the safety net
it's never 'what you give is what you get'

They'll put you out of action
push you 'til you break
when all you did was give their world a shake

Deep down inside he's just the same as us
who knew that what he said was dangerous
we think we've all got a new song to sing
YOU'VE GOT THE MICROPHONE SO SAY SOMETHING...

A Saner WOrld w/mOag - Lenny

I am a singer/songwriter from Ireland loving SoundCloud and the ability to be able to put my songs up here for people to listen to and comment and to be able to collaborate with other musicians around the world is really amazing. Loving the technology that makes all this home recording and sharing possible and  i am totally knocked out by the talent out there it is frightening and brilliant and i am in awe and very happy to be part of this amazing forum.
