One take on this vocal from Sophia aged 16

this is so very beautiful, love the vocals

I like the classical guitar style. A little Leonard Cohen in there too. Great song!

A Girl Who's True

Lyrics:
I developed a magnetic field containment for the fusion of my emotional particles, and, in the intense delusion of ancient fables and forgotten prayers, I eluded the chaotic viscosity of my life.
The magnetic fragrance of hyperbolic equations forged the golden restraints that ties my astral body to the marble of the altar.
For the Dark Blade of Abstraction fought many wars to achieve His purest journey on the sands of eternity, far from the purple desires and the lust of blood, freed from the sensual tyranny of His Lord. 
I saw twelve Orc Female Warriors carry the swords of remorse and procrastination. Their iron boots crushed the shattered relics of my lost memories. They surrounded the altar and I gazed to my astral double through their lusty eyes. 
O Dark Blade of Abstraction, Your lingering words reverberate in my spine and electrify my sweaty shimmering skin. Your geometrical desire entered my heart long before the swords of remorse. 
The beauty of Your uncanny theorems liquefies the altar, melts my astral body into the ocean of pleasure, merges my senses with the fury of the Orc Warriors, connects my superconductive synapses to the heart of unknown galaxies.   
And I swim in the amniotic fluid of a pulsar. The echoes of my orgasms interfere with the counterpoint of a forgotten fugue. The fragrance of the Orcs’ sweat vanishes in the colourless vibration of time and space. Overwhelmed by the tide of geometrical poetry, I open my thighs to the lust of the music, and feel the ominous chords liquefy the focal centre of my desire. 
And I drink the wine of bliss and oblivion from the cup of Your fractal memories. And I kiss Your marble lips on the shore of eternity, Your quicksilver belly against my polyurethane skin.

'The Flow' 
Written by Jon Woode 

This is still my most played song on SoundCloud and one of my most precious recordings.

I actually wrote the lyrics to 'The Flow' whilst walking around Waitrose in Canterbury, Kent. The guitar part came later that day. 
I didn't think it suited my voice and really wanted my daughter Sophia (pictured above) to sing it but she was studying for her GCSE exams at the time. I pestered her until eventually she said she would have one go at it in her break. This was the first and only time she sang it.

The Flow was included in Tom Robinson's Fresh On The Net and has had a fair bit of airplay since then, it is still available on SoundCloud and Spotify etc, there is also an instrumental version of the song available.

Sophia's is now an F2 Doctor, so no harm was done in making this recording 🙂

"As soon as this intricately played track gets going, you get a creeping suspicion that Canterbury’s Jon Woode is not supplying the vocals. Deft investigative journalism (reading the track info) reveals the voice actually belongs to his daughter, Sophia, who sings of being an uncontrollable fire that consumes all, then a waterwheel, perpetually pushed around, and finally the air, wind and breeze, “Delivering kisses and scattering seeds”. It’s really as beautiful as that sounds, and proved immensely popular with Listening Post readers this week.

LYRICS: 

Hey little boy, what have they done to you
They disowned your soul and locked you away in the dark
Oh little boy, no one paid attention to you 
When you cried out for help on the quest for your passionate spark 

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

Hey little boy, please give me your hand
I show you the world and you teach me how to see it through your eyes
Oh little boy, your life’s been so bland
All the crap you’ve been made to believe in was built upon lies

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

“Blurry” 

Do you believe in love at first sight?  

Towards the end of my second day at my job, my supervisor took me around to meet some other people in the organization that I would be supporting.  When Jeff introduced me to this long blond haired beauty, I actually got dizzy.  18 months later I was dating that beautiful lady and 4 years after that we were married.  My wife doesn’t believe me when I tell her and the kids this story, but it really happened.  So, I don’t know if there is love at first sight, but if one of you feels that your world has just shifted, take heed of this wonderful opportunity.   

"The songs I write aren't about me. Except for the parts that are." - Wild Christopher

About the musician:  I happened to come upon Eden Fox’s Soundcloud page over the holidays.  What a treasure to find!  Great heartfelt folk tracks that are just perfect.  This artist needs more exposure! Please check out his page and support the efforts!

This is the first of three songs I am working on with Eden, each of which I am honored to be able to sing along to such outstanding work.  Thank you Eden for allowing me to sing to your wonderful tracks!

Once I saw you
Twice I looked
The third time I’m dizzy
Once I get my footing
I’m going dancing with you, with you

All I need to do is find my footing
To find my courage to follow through
Girl I don’ usually stumble
But tonight you’re so pretty

This is love at first sight
But complaints are going to the Man Upstairs
As I look at you there
Everything’s going blurry, blurry

Once I saw you
Twice I looked
The third time I was dizzy

Once I get my footing
I’m going dancing with you 

Once you saw me
Twice you looked
The third time I’m giddy

Once I finish flipping 
I’m going dancing with you, with you

All I need to do is find 
What is putting my heart up in my throat
Girl I don’ usually mumble
But tonight I’m not so witty     

Once I saw the time
And how long I took
To miss you would be a pity

Once I finish tripping 
I want to walk home with you, with you

All I need to do is not be in hurry
Get my heart under control
Girl I don’ usually fumble
But new love can be so tricky

If there’s a chance for love 
I’m praying to the Man Upstairs
Make it clear
So things won’t be blurry
Make it real

Blurry (with Eden Fox)

It's not easy to write and perform a romantic ballad without it sounding cheesy.  It takes beautiful lines of poetry, a melody that stirs emotions, and a delivery from the heart.  I hope this song has those qualities.

Because You Are Here

This song expresses the passing thunderstorm from begining to end. It consists of three parts.
 
 I: Lotus pond
      Lotus flowers are out peacefully in moist air.
 II: The god of thunder and the god of wind
     The sky is gradually covered by heavy clouds. The god of thunder beats drums on his back and the god of wind blasts. They enjoy playing.
 III: The last raindrop
     The thunderstorm has gone. The last raindrop is falling and glittering in the sunshine.
 
 Thunder sounds in this track were not sampled but synthesized.

 Thank you.

Thunderstorm
