As a devout atheist from my early years I have consequently chosen not to believe in anything that doesn’t have a justifiable or logical explanation. The concept of luck certainly comes into that category as it seems to suggest an exterior force as it’s cause, something I simply cannot accept.

But even non-believers talk about luck being either for or against them, throwing spilled salt over their shoulders or not walking under ladders, because these have become part of everyday behaviour or  language, dictated by habit more than any sense of logic.  The terms in this song all relate to some mysterious good or bad vibe, including - and I’ve known people who actually do this - which direction in which your bed might face when you’re asleep.

Although also a devout atheist, my brother Gal is a good example of such habits, often using the term “Touch Wood” if he wants something to happen in his or our favour.  I think he inherited this from our Mum, who used to say it all the time and would go as far as trying to touch something made of wood to complete the ‘spell', not always easy in what had become an increasingly plastic age.

Despite all of the above, I think Gal must have been ‘Touching Wood’ when he first formed a friendship with Hans, because I’m still not at all sure that we deserve to be associated with someone of such proficiency, consummate talent and innate kindness.  Some may say we have been very lucky.  We have certainly been exceedingly fortunate, which is just about as far as I’m prepared to go.  Whatever your beliefs, we hope you enjoy the song.  (Terry Reeves)

I’ve stopped walking under ladders
Avoiding cracks moving like the clappers
No early birthday wishes giving all the best
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces west

Chorus:
I’m touching wood
To prevent it going wrong
I’m touching wood
Just in case all my luck has gone
I’m touching wood
To prevent it going wrong
I’m touching wood
Just in case all my luck has gone

Don’t wear red in storms but wear a hard hat 
Using chopsticks making sure to lay them flat
No facing or broken mirrors back and forth
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces north

Chorus

No singing at the dining room table
Avoid spilling salt keeping body stable
The horse shoe upwards by word of mouth
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces south

Chorus

Thirteen numbers or a whistle inside for waiting
Dialling 666 getting straight through to Satan
Keeping all doors open not upsetting man or Priest
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces East

Chorus

#New #OriginalSong #Dancing #Leaves

[Chorus１]
Woo, we ’re like dancing leaves
Need to change, need to
Need to stay the same
And I know what the truth is, what the truth is
Everything is fuzzy, too
Life is a series of decisions
Like falling dead leaves, falling
It’s not decided even if it falls to the ground

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I walk while kicking the fallen leaves
The front and back change until it becomes soil
Reboots happen here and there, happen
Unpredictable, it all depends
Leaves, autumn leaves
A shot of my smile when I was innocent
Wanna write my hardest wrongs and crazy parts
Gore-Tex is still active after 10 years

[Bridge]
Oh, I’m dancing quietly
Blue sky, high, red and yellow
Beauty and power
Oh, I laugh even if it's painful
‘Cause it's alive
Thank you mam, yeah, eh, oh
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
we are dancing leaves

[Chorus２]
Woo, we ’re like dancing leaves
Need to stay, need to
Need not to stay
And I know what the truth is, what the truth is
Everything is fuzzy, too
Life is a series of departures
Like falling dead leaves, falling
It’s not decided even if it falls to the ground

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I walk while kicking the fallen leaves
It never ends, never, until it becomes soil
Reboots happen here and there, happen
Unpredictable, it all depends
Leaves, autumn leaves
I’ve redone it many times, as I wanna do
Here I go on a new trip, let's go together
Finally, I'm free,  two kids are good adults

[Bridge]×２
Oh, I’m dancing quietly
Blue sky, high, red and yellow
Beauty and power
Oh, I laugh even if it's painful
‘Cause it's alive
Thank you mam, yeah, eh, oh
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
We are dancing leaves

[Outro]
Dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves, 
dancing leaves
We are dancing leaves

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

A hold on me

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
