wonderful subtle harmonics tight w/the uke! the lyrics & vox feels like a nod to XTC... AND AN ELECTRIC KAZOO.  (what more could anyone hope for?) rock on ! ☮️

Not often I come across something sounding like Sparks, but this does

I wrote this tune on the piano today to express my feelings of having happily arrived at the other side of a major spinal operation after a 19 month wait.  I’d been thinking of imagery lately of a calm sea, lapping at the shore, then rising into a storm and then ebbing away again.  This is how I feel.  I started the tune with what I think might be a Bb6 but I can’t be sure! I heard the chord on a James Taylor song and thought it’s a great place to begin.  I hope you enjoy it and that it becalms you too!  Thank you for listening. X

Relaxing Piano. After the Storm

The Turtle Project and me have collaborated on a new tune , Turtle sent me the track and i toplined on it , go hear his work :-https://soundcloud.com/turtle-project
LYRICS:-
Have you been away so long
And don't know how
To pick the phone up
And utter that word "HI"
Have you sat on lonely street
And don't know why
You torture yourself
All the days and nights

I have , I do , 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

Letting everything pile up
Is my forte
Procrastination
I can do so well
Desire to change is something
I can't find inside
I want the world to change
How can I help ?

So I , I write
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts 
Get in the way

Never thought that my fears
Would ever take over again
Even after the things
That I've learned
I'm here again
But I know I can stop
The spinning of this damn
Merry-go-round
Jumping off the ferris wheel
I can land on the ground

I have , I do 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

Camouflage Pattern

A musical meditation on a rainy day in May, a field recording as a backdrop (complete with passing train), the piano is a spontaneous improv recorded as the rain fell to the delight of the spring greenery.

May Rain

Heart - Shaped Hippy

As I’ve got older the things that seemed really important when I young just pale into insignificancy.
What’s meant to be is meant to be and I’m not sure you can change that process how hard you try.
All your personal achievements and moments that went well are just 
Little Victories in the war of life.
Just try and have integrity and be a better person every new sunrise.
I’m dedicating this song to my mate Big Johnie who has integrity and gave me the idea for the hook as he always says 
“ there just little victories Gaz”

Little Victories ~ Conscience of Kings

Listen to David. k. A. Spencer's original instrumental -- Dear Davy Jones, here: https://soundcloud.com/david-spencer-543878720/dear-davy-jones

The King is Dead, Long Live Boxing!
(Based on a true story)

They found the king upon his throne
Bloated, dead, and all alone

He had called on Dr Nick, 
With his pill filled bag of tricks

Wasn’t peanut butter sandwiches 
did him in

Then I thought, hey man,
I’m just like him

life is just a haze 
always stoned 
in a daze
Cue lines blur 
in between
character and 
real life dream

I was just a London Boy, 
Took the pills, made me ill

Don’t want to be a square,
did the drugs, grew my hair

Never answered that phone, 
Kept on walking, wandered alone

Ziggy, it started clean, 
Then we tasted the American dream 

Can’t say it wasn’t fun, 
I’d gone away, I was numb

Nearly died a diamond dog, 
Hard to see through that fog

life is just a haze 
always stoned 
in a daze
Cue lines blur 
in between
character and 
real life dream
Was a shock 
to finally see
skeleton staring 
back at me

Found I need a drastic shift
Not the next synthetic fix

Time to put those pills away,
Cocaine’s for another day

Milk and peppers just won’t do,
When your 90 pounds of thin sinew

The thin white duke is going to die
Unless I give boxing a try!

Put down those pills, Bowie! 
pick up the gloves, Bowie!

Shadow box those
Demons away
 
Hit the bag and
Run the stairs, Bowie!

Raise your fists like Rocky, Bowie!

Yo, Adrian, I mean Bowie!

Let’s box!
Put down the pills and pick up the gloves

Put Up Your Dukes!

The King Is Dead, Long Live Boxing! (David. k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu) Feat. Dave Bowee
